Very nice 17A. What brand of hydraulic unit on the rear? Safe-T-Cab, SWECO, HCL Liv Power or ??? Several similarities in them because of the tank shape.
JM I believe it's a BEE GEE. We had one just like it on our D7E.Maybe Mike will tell more

Thanks Gary. Maybe someone just did a tank swap. From the side view it does still look like 2 spool Be-Ge, some did nice change overs to high pressure as well.
I need to sort my pump pile here. I have been taking junk units and converting to 2 valve etc. with spare parts. Mixing and matching!
BTW, that is supposed to be the same paint the trailer guys used to paint one of my #40 scrapers with. Supposed to last a long time and no fading. JM

2 pack is hard wearing, has good very good chemical and fuel resistance and does hold its gloss well but it requires more expensive equipment to apply and inst a suitable for backyard use due to the very toxic compounds in the catalyst. they do have 2 pack paints that dont contain the isocyanate which are safer but that is still nasty stuff.
The pump is a BeGe PR220 if I remember right I put it on in about 1985., As far as painting 2 part IMRON as long as you use a good respirator and gloves i Is safe enough, as far as paint guns all I use is. Harbor Freight guns use their mid grade guns which I think are a little over a. $100.00 now, As far as a place to paint I have painted in a shop, out the open, and in a grain elevator shed , it doesn’t make any difference to me as long as I can see what I am doing without a lot of shadows! That D7 was painted right where it’s setting in that picture. If I can do it ANYBODY can do it. 17afarmer. Mike
