Very nice!

That looks great. This is really making me want to clean up ours.
How are you prepping the parts for paint? Strip tank? Sand blast?

Most parts are sandblasted, some more sensitive areas like transmission, engine, are wire wheeled, sanded, etc

Little more progress, the hood is definitely going to take some work to get it looking good. Picked up the new decals for the hood and a new battery today also. All fluids are changed and engine runs again after bleeding injectors

Great job so far.

Looks good!

Any reason for the single jack stand in the front?

Would hate for you to bump it and have it fall

Only had the one under it so I could put the axle in it, it is sitting on 2 stands in the front now:thumbsup:

Really nice job.

Getting close to being finished, not sure what happened to the hood, it had a 1/4" of bondo over most of it. I stripped it and left some of the small dents, looks a lot better than it did. Even had to rebuild the rusted out seat pan

Coming along nice..real nice.

Looking very good! Why the yellow for the brake pedals?

if you check the picture of before I started you can see that is how Kubota did it, mine are a bit more of cat yellow because that is what I had

 

[wmonroe]

Oh yeah, just looked at the original picture. Kubota must have been running low on the blue/grey color. Lol

 

[denm74]

Done except for the mower deck, which may never get done. Now on to the G1700 Kubota

Nice....might be angle but front tires look bigger than should be.

the one on the left is a bit wider than the original on the other side even though they say they are both the same

Great job! Looks very nice!

 

[wmonroe]

Nicely done! It looks great.
