Thanks for that Cameron that helps a bit it might be a great idea to use for now and track down a 24 bolt later on or if one pops up without removing a leg for one.

Thanks for the replies and help

Here are the "unit mark" on the left side front, hard to see but you can see the
boomerang and it looks like the buffalo to me and some pics of the paint layers looks like sand under the two differant colour greens

The top coat (as can be seen on the body) is deep bronze green, then under that it would have had khaki with a disruptive pattern of something like light stone or light earth. Light stone is a sandy colour.

Hi Keith i only put up the colour because their was a earlier message from Tony asking if i had the same colours on my truck as he had on his khaki green /light stone
To me it looks like the buffalo can anyone confirm it for me

Yes it's definitely the water buffalo Jason, well done. Looks like you may reveal more if you rub very gently with say 400 wet and dry (use wet). Is there any trace of the tractor number on the other side? It would have looked like the pic below. I'll post some pics of the various colours you'll find on your FGT, there are at least seven.
