Thanks for all the replies, cause THEY ARE ALL 100% CORRECT!!! These machines are not rare, plus I have no intent on selling it (regardless of what hubby thinks!! haha). Now it's as simple as deciding on a color and never thought of John Deere green (we're a farming family, so it'd fit right in), but hot pink, or maybe royal blue... oh the choices are limitless! Also never thought of an auto body shop for the prepping and painting. Thanks again!
