Currently.........nobody :(  The gentleman that was making them has stopped because the price more than doubled for his materials. They are 3d printed using stainless steel. The last we talked about it ( over a year ago ) the break even point would have been $400 each

Looks beautiful, but I want to correct you on something.  I was the one who bought it at auction in 2019, and sold it to you a little over a year later, believe I sold you a trailer a bit before that as well.  The tractor was repainted before the auction and was definitely not repainted me.  The only thing I did to it while in my ownership was add the back rest, otherwise it was sold the way I bought it. The auction pics are still available on Facebook but heres the pic of the tractor from the auction listing, you can see it has newer paint on it, it's the one with the seat cover.

 

I had planned to repaint it as well, I wasn't impressed with the paint that was on it, but could never decide on a path, I had no doubt the previous owner bought it with the 702 hood and decal, I had also seen the pre repaint pics of it, but wasn't sure what to make of it.  I found a 701 hood for it, but had to sell most of my collection due to money issues during covid.Screenshot_20250810-083015.png.080905bd2fd4ed0e947c3f27f811de58.png
