The little jewel that I ended up with

Is the grille OEM?

EDIT--How has it been running and working? Any other comments?

Not sure on the grille guard but I like it.

I've already put 40 hours on it with the Bush Hog and disc. Both are 5 foot implements and the disc weighs close to 800lbs. I disced 14 acres of food plots on my hunting lease over Labor Day weekend. This was over 2 days, taking several breaks, etc. Total time on the plots is about 12 hours so close to an hour per acre with the disc. I ran it in Medium at 2800rps when pulling the disc and she did a fine job. Ran the AC the whole time and stayed nice and cool.
I'm really pleased with it so far

One drawback that I had not considered is that I'll have to use my old tractor when I use my 3 point spreader. I gotta be able to reach back, pull/push the levers that control the gates on the spreader and can't do that from inside a cab

Open your rear glass when needed. You may want to put expanded metal ob your grill guard if you work in the brush, I put one on my 5740 after I bent my front screen. I use a 2' extension on an air hose with holes in the sides to keep the radiator and condenser clean, overall great little tractor.

Only reason I mentioned it is because I've never seen an LA513 loader with a quick attach like that. Just looked odd. I'm used to seeing those LA513 loaders setup with quick attach like this. Again sweet tractor either way.

That is definitely different than mine and I looked at a friend's 60hp tractor yesterday. His looks just like the one in your pic. Not sure what to make of it now but it works like it's supposed to so.......
