[QUOTE="vinito, post: 94995, member: 12954"] Thanks. Yea I've been around that PSX paint and it's amazing stuff. I hope it works out. But if it does, unfortunately I won't have much choice on the color since it will be the excess left over after their commercial work, so it will just be safety yellow. On the flip side, if it doesn't work out then I'll be painting it myself and using Rustoleum or the stuff they sell at Tractor Supply, which would still be fine if not as bulletproof and I can pick whatever colors they offer. But the safety yellow PSX is more likely. There are so many layers and colors of faded paint on this machine that there isn't much of anything to match, so I don't think I'd be much help there anyway. I have new inspiration to get this thing done soon as possible. I picked up a hoe attachment yesterday !!! You never know until you actually try it of course, but it appears that I will just be able to hook it up and put it to work. And obviously I can't try this thing out at all until the machine is running again. I'm chomping at the bit. It seems like a good size match for this little machine. This weekend has proven to be short on free time as usual. There was a bad news family crisis yet again - those are waaay to frequent for us lately and I'd really like to not go through any more for a while. All of us could use a break from that just to settle in for a bit - maybe we've met our quota and have some calm seas once we get pas this one. Here's a pic of the manual cover for the one that's made for this machine: [URL='http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mikeyphoto/media/BH%201.jpg.html'][IMG alt=" photo BH 1.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/mikeyphoto/BH%201.jpg[/IMG][/URL] And here's the one I just brought home with my cousin standing next to it for some sense of scale: [URL='http://smg.photobucket.com/user/mikeyphoto/media/hoe1.jpg.html'][IMG alt=" photo hoe1.jpg"]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/mikeyphoto/hoe1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Looks like the boom and bucket are pretty dang similar.
