Ace,
No, the previous owner had it painted. New stickers too. He also had several medal plates replaced.
I put in half as much as I paid for it. Total $7k. It is now worth about $20k.

I have the crowfoot but it would still require removing the box that the hydraulic filter is attached to and then you get into gasket replacement and I just could not gather the will power to tackle it.  It is an 1 and 3/8th inch nut on the hose and it is up against the box that the filter is on.  I have thought about field replacement kits but am afraid of buying the wrong one and they are not too cheep and it would only be temporary due to the hose already being bad though it does look like a scrape where it is leaking and might be enough for years.  Pretty sure it is not too much grease as it has probably not been greased since we got it (I know, my bad).  Thanks for the seafoam and diesel tips.  The 410 has the same hydraulic running the transmission and brakes and that run the buckets.  It might have a lot more leaks if I thin it out too much. :grin:
Cheers

I find it hilarious that 30's idea of a little side project is adding 22 rubber wheels to a riding mower, while Jim's is refurbishing a backhoe!  :cheesy:

You did good.  Funny he did not want to finish the rebuild and get the 20K.  Broken gear in the tranny would have scared me off.  When does that ever happen?
