Looking good !!! What year is it ?

I recently replaced the main hydraulic line from the pump on my 580K. It was a 1" steel line that was originally one piece but the replacement was two pieces. Not easy to get at. Also replaced the front wheel seals. It's a '87 4x4.

This one is an 1983 2 wheel drive, has about 3800 hours on it. It has been a very good machine, I bought it in 1998 and this is the first I have really had to do anything to it. Hope to get quite a few more years use out of it.
