We had nice weather this past weekend so I decided to do the 75 hour tune-up to get ready for summer. I say 75 hours because I use a more aggressive schedule than PT recommends. First, I gave the tractor a good bath. Then I changed the oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter, and hydraulic filter. I also took all the wheels off and cleaned and repainted around the hydraulic wheel motors. I sanded and repainted a couple other areas where the paint was discolored for some reason. I installed a new seat with arm rests that I got from TSC for $150. Much more padding than the original equipment seat. And finally, I greased everything with synthetic grease and installed washers under the top articulated link bolts as described in another thread. Whole process took a good 10 hours but I’m ready for summer now.

Just a few questions... Since I plan on painting behind the wheels, too... what color paint(number, place of purchase, etc.) and does it match pretty good /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
