Working on getting the 400 series loader mounted up so I took it to a friend and fabricator to make sure we were getting everything in the right spot. Beautiful Michigan fall day for a 14 mile tractor ride. Stayed nice and warm too! Once I have everything to put the loader on tires are high on the list. I also found a couple hydraulic leaks I need to address. I know I know the wheels are supposed to be orange, but there's a reason for the cream, and that's a story for another day with some cool old photos I need to scan..

Enjoy!

That's about the same deal for this...it was taken in and overhauled and came back with cream wheels and grille screens and fresh orange paint. When I repainted in 2011 I did the wheels orange and I hated it. They'd been cream my whole life so it just seemed wrong to me. I know many folks hate it, but people hate a lot of things they get over eventually!
