I got excited and paid a friend of mine who owns a body shop to re-paint the white panels on my YM1700 tractor. The 2 pieces on the front were 1 shade of white and the side panels were a different shade. The front grill was also a little bent up on one of the bottom corners where someone obviously hit something. I straightened out he grill (and my friend made it straighter) and now they're all a nice Yanmar white (from Hoye's.) I am contemplating doing the red parts, but I'm not sure I want to. They have nicks and such as well as the Japanese metal stickers... it's got character. It would be prettier if was all repainted, but I like things to have some character. (It's also cheaper to not paint it.

) Anyway, here are some pics.

(I don't have the heart to post photos of this monster among your pretty pictures, just links are bad enough!)

You guys both have gorgeous tractors. I envy you, really.

DeepNdirt -- If I find some mud, I'll let you know so you can get yours dirty too.

California -- You're not actually doing WORK with your tractor, are you??

Oh mines been plenty dirty, actually its not often see clean, He was only cleaned up for the photo-shoot

the way the weather has been here lately don't know when we might see mud again,

California, Thanks for the kind complements, though tractors are made to be worked hard and beat up a bit, as poor of a man as I am

I try to take care of my investments, even down to my little bitty tractor

Its more fun to go out and let the tractor work and get dirty then clean it up so it can get dirty again.

Nice clean tractors guys! We still have mud here, but i drive my tractor slow to keep the sheet metal clean. :laughing: mine isn't perfect either, i have some rusty spots on it, especially the lower right front corner on the hood, but it's good enough for pulling my log splitter through the mud.

i do want to repaint it someday but I want to do a lot of other things to it too.
