50 hour service went really well. I changed the hydraulic filter and bled the system with no problems. I also changed the engine oil(although not required at that time) to Mobil1. Everything appears tight and in good working order so far. Gave it a bath with simple green. Noticed some paint problems on the tractor just to the inside of the front wheels. The paint has little pin head sized dots and it appears to be light rust where the paint has the dot in it. Don't know if it is from bad paint prep at the factory or if it is from rocks slowly chipping away at the paint. When I get the time, I will pull the wheels off and inspect it, as I can only see a little behind the tire right now. Either way, It will be an easy repair, as it is a flat surface of heavy steel. Can you say "grinder wheel" followed by clean, prime and paint /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif. I'll document as I go, but don't wait around. I have lots to do until the end of August. Still want to get my upper lights, reverse lights and a few minor mods done as well.
