This is my first post here but I have learned a lot by reading all the discriptions of other's projects. I wanted to thank you all for all of the information and describe some of the modifications I have made to my tractor so that it may help others.
I bought my tractor just before the first of this year mostly for snow removal but have found many other uses for it around my property and don't know how I have gotten by without it for so long. I bought a used Kubota B2910 with a loader and rear blade but have since purchased a box blade and a rear finish mower.
The first modification was the addition of bucket hooks. Since I don't have the equipment or skills for welding I had a friend of a friend that lives close by do the welding and he did an excellent job. We used a 2" X 3" X 1/4" piece of angle to provide support and welded the hooks to this. The picture below is just after I finished painting.
It seems like a lot of hooks but they have all come in handy for pulling fence posts and general lifting. One of my summer projects was to rebuild my walkway from the house to the garage that is made up of 3" thick flagstone blocks. I had to move them all out of the way, prepare the area and then move them back. The following picture shows how the bucket hooks were used to do this.
My next modification was to add extra lights for night work. The following picture shows the bracket I made and how it was mounted on the ROPS. The electrical connection was easy since the tractor has provisions for adding a work light and I just used that wiring.
I have some other modifications that are more involved that I will post in seperate threads.
