OK, did some painting. first some rustolium metal primer applied via a cheapo HF spray gun..



worked pretty darn good! first time spraying paint in 30 years!



Got some bright Bota ORG from the Kubota dealer 3 miles from the house, only $35 paint for a Qt., 15 buck pint of solvent...not too bad for Kubota dealer?

Will post bota orange parts tomorrow.

Very good job. I have a B7510 also, but with a Woods 6500 on it. Great combo since its also sub frame. Are you using tractor hydraulics? If so I would LOVE to see, in detail, your hydraulic hook up. Also a close up shot of the rear sub frame attachment. Again great work, looking for ward to seeing more.

I have the CDP Mid 600 plan but either mine is an early model (it has a 2.5 OD box section dipper) or Ray has altered his to have boom & dipper of equal type box sections. If this is done do you have to alter the bucket curl linkage in any way from std. 2.5 box sectional dipper as on plan. The scheme uses a quite rare closed pin centers length cyl from 'Princess Auto' - also expensive. In my country there is now a very close metric equivalent from Flowfit / Harrier Fluid Power - this may make building this more practical for me (or others based in Europe). Sorry it is such an old post but there is little info re the CDP kit builds
