| Looks nice but I don't see 3 point or snap coupler. I wonder if it came from factory that way? |

| I bet everyone of those tractors that were sold new with the 3 point delete at one time had an owner with regrets. Too nice of a tractor not to have all the capabilities of a 3 point and dual hydraulics. Just my opinion. |

| Pissie paint job, painted remotes and PTO stub as well as everything he couldn't or wouldn't wrap a piece of tape around, reminds one of the OP on paint job overhauls to steer clear of. |

| I know of alot of people who ordered various tractors years ago "bareback" because at the time, the tractor was going to be their "big field tractor" and would never need a 3 pt. or PTO. Now they regret it, because the tractor is no longer a big enough to be a field tractor, and takes a serious hit on resale value because it is bareback, and has very limited uses now. Darrel |

| pto and controls and the oil filter were painted over. And so was the ball hitchwhich he could have removed but maybe he figured it would be just a wood hauler tractor |

| Wow !! I don't think I'll paint my D17. I put an engine kit in and had a head job done , brakes , final drive bearings and many other fix em up jobs but since i'm not much of a painter it appears that some would think the work mechanically was unsound because of my inexperience as a painter. I'll leave its work clothes on it in case I want to sell it. |

I like them in their work close. If I want a "Pretty" tractor I would prefer to paint it myself.

D17Jim nailed it on the head. People see new paint a camoflauge. I am immediatly suspect of any machine with new paint. For too many years the DuPont overhaul was a way to BS people into buying a junk tractor. Prospective buyers thought that only a mechanically sound machine was worthy of new paint. Now after millions of horror stories, new paint is a badge of shame.
The same thing happened with the suit and tie. It used to be a sign of integrity and respect. Crooks caught on to the fact that if they dressed nice people would deal with them. Now when you see a guy with a suit and tie your first thought is, " what is he trying to pull over on me " .
