To me, the machine's color is it's identity, i.e. John Deere green, Kubota orange, Caterpillar yellow etc. But hey, it's yours and if you don't care about that stuff, paint it whatever you like.

Very good video showing what needs fixing. Brilliant to see the Cicada coming out for their very brief mating season after their underground sojourn. Their complex biochemistry is a whole new world of interest to people like me. Best wishes from the UK..

I did pretty much this exact same job over the Christmas holidays last year to my old Kubota KX36-2. Removed and replaced every pin and bushing from kingpost to bucket, swapped the links, stripped and painted the entire boom, replaced the seals in the cylinders. It made a vast difference to how it digs, no more sloppy wobble bucket. Now I just have the swing motor to refurbish next Christmas :)

The color scheme for the excavator : The Orange, Black and Dark Grey would be a lovely combo for that size machine. You should go with the open canopy but make it taller.
