Getting that green changed isn't primping. I would think it would be at the top of your list!!!

ok I went back to the 1st page but I did not see the reason for this...no that it's bad.....bit just how and why did you do this

I don't know, that's gotta be some kind of sin somewhere?

I know there is a biblical injunction against allowing your livestock to have sex with other species, but I don't know about inter-species organ transplants.

What will you call it?

What that loader now needs is a "Flame paint job" !

If it were mine, I would leave it that color and every time I used it there would be a big grin on my face, just imagine the orange tractor, the master and the green appendage, the slave obeying the masters every command. (insert sinister laugh here).....

Gamer, I needed a loader despretely for the tractor, however I was unable to find a used Kubota loader that would bolt up. The best price I found for a new bushhog loader with me installing it was $4100. I found this JD model 80 for $1800 less the valve. By the time I was done I had $2100 and a lota work in this loader. I am really happy with the way it turned out though.

Personally, I would have NOT QUALMS with doing the same to save $2,000. That is right on. It isn't a bad looking loader, either. Getting the job done, right?

Great job. All the ribbing is in jest. Given the choice, need, interest, and availability of parts, most would do the same thing, I think.
