LA 682 loader question

OldJazzR · May 18, 2021

The main lift cylinders are no longer Kubota orange.... they're more cream colored. Tractor is a circa 2000 L3710 I bought new back then.
Anyone know what causes this?

UV light from the sun. No big deal. I'd recommend a good wax job to seal it up/protect it, some of the color will come back.

You could try cleaning them by hand with a Scotchbrite pad watching the results. My Mitsubishi tractor started going white and I thought the paint had oxidized. My body man neighbor thought it was a build up of blown dust chemically bonding to the paint. He was right. It never came completely back but the paint wasn't really oxidized, just had a build up. Of course a follow up with wax helped, too.
