Major advancements on my 6000 project after getting all of the sheet metal painted and the decals applied. I took it to my friend's hay field today and snapped a few pics.
It's not done yet. I still have to get the seat reupholstered and the steering wheel redone, as well as redo pretty much all of the wiring. That will take some time yet, but I couldn't wait to get the hood on and see what it looked like.
I have to say, the looks of the 6000 are growing on me, at least the Commander version. I used to think they were ugly, but I guess I've "evolved".
I've also come to realize that I really like the nearly equal balance of white versus blue paint. Think of a comparable JD tractor of that vintage - it's all green except the wheels and seat.
I promise more close ups after the seat and steering wheel are done. The steering wheel looks hideous right now. Every time I drive it a chunk of it comes off in my hand.
