Scott....... it looks great, but I only have one question..... do you ever use the loader???? no scratches??????? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

*LOL* Gold star for noticing!!! Actually, for this project, I went out and bought a can of Allis Chalmers Orange paint at TSC. I repainted the bucket and touched up some scratches on the tractor just before I took the picture! Its a thick, brush on paint that matches the color perfectly, as you can see. A quart costs about $8.

But she doesn't look bad after 3 years and 300 hours... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Scott lookin pretty sharp.

Where did you pick up those aux. lamps?

Charliebrn · Nov 25, 2003

The lamps were also picked up at TSC. They sell the same lamps in Flood, Traps, and spots. The fronts are both traps, One on the rear is a trap and one is a flood. The sides are fog lights, and are easily removable as I just need them for moving snow and avoiding vehicles. /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Charle, for sound deadening glue an egg crate foam mattress to the underside of the canopy with an appropiate construction glue. Hospitals send them home with the patient or throw them away since they're impossible to sterilze. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

That sounds like a great idea! The cab roof already has a padding/cloth material on the underside of the top, so I'll see how it does, but if it's noisy at all under there, I'll sure try that.

thanks!
