Is it normal to get a can or 2 of spray paint from your dealer upon purchase?
-Just curious. My 7610 nasn't arrived yet. And I'm wondering if I should "expect" it?

WayneW -
I didn't get any with my 7610 - I think the price is $3-5 / can at the dealer IIRC. The only thing that is really taking the *brunt* of paint loss so far is the FEL: the bucket of course - and a bit on the FEL mounting brackets when I try to align tractor to FEL when reattaching.
I didn't see any missing grey when underneath for my 50 hr service - but I guess it depends on what you do. During my *struggle* with the big rock below - it rolled against the front frame below the radiator a few times - I'll need to touch that up. But the bucket is going to keep it's *battle scars* for now - it has a nice softball-diameter dent in one edge from this rock too! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Instead of grinding, welding, and painting on my new bucket, I decided to drill a few holes and bolt on these 4WD truck tow hooks. Cheaper and easier, I thought. About $7.00 a piece at TSC, nice durable chrome finish, plus I added stainless steel hardware from Lowes. Got the idea from another member, but I installed three, so I have one in the middle for certain tasks, and then one on each side to balance things, if needed. The clips are nice for securing chains or straps.

Don't know if it should be expected, but the dealer told me that I will need it on the bucket if I am going to be putting it in storage.
