Nice looking tractor and congratulations!!!
I'm going to guess the dealer or previous owner may have repainted that bucket (especially since it looks like they used Armor-All on the tires), but that's NOT a problem. Buckets are made to be worked.
Enjoy the machine and use the seat belt!
NO , never been painted !!! Its all factory !! The guy just never used it . Its raining outside,, so it just looks all shiney.
