ebinmaine 67,626 #4 Posted March 9, 2021 ......... because you can. We have more than we need but only until one needs service. We'll be putting implements on certain tractors and leaving them there for easy fast convenient use. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,465 #6 Posted March 9, 2021 Searcher 60: Years ago I did what you are doing now and It is fun an kind of an art form. You can pant small parts off color to bring out design.
