Had a little fun today, rain has the rivers out so nothing else to do so swapped the buckets. Had to perform a little Other work as the bucket curl links had at some time been installed WRONG side, grease fitting now point OUT.

Now to wear some paint off!!!

I imagine that bucket must feel like a feather by comparison.

Had to laugh, even as I remember your pain on the water intrusion. Sorry. And yes, it responds as if a massive load was removed AND WAS. New control mod also responds very well.

Yeah Yeah! I know. All I could locate near to me was New Cat Yellow, is covered but not right. I fully intend to repaint the whole machine this next year AFTER it gets considerable work done to it. The machine currently is Old Cat grey yellow or cream yellow depending on who you ask.
