New Holland TC30 Hydro 4x4, Gravely Zero Turn Mower

Well, I got my new Digital camera and chronicled my latest project. I accidently had the camera set to 'close-up' mode so the pictures did'nt come out quite right. But, here they are anyway.

Step 1. Here's the "before" picture.

I am attaching to the seat belt mounts just above the rockshaft arms and in front of the SMV. The toolbox brackets will go on first and then the seat belt brackets will go on top.

Here is the steel attached with the first bend. I replaced the original grade 8 seat bolt bolts with longer grade 8 bolts so that I would maintain the the same amount of thread interface.

Test fit of box to locate holes.

I slid the seat all the way back and put weight on the spring to make sure that I allowed enough clearance so the seat would not hit the box.

Yes the toolbox is the right color. But the rest of the picture apears to be a Martion (spelling) landscape.

None -yet. Until then FunBuggy (EZ-Go) will have to do!

Say Jerry,

I thought you were going to "relocate" your turn signals up on the ROPS? With the SMV sign at it's new location, how you gonna do that?? /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

Oh, I know! You're only going to be making right turns, so you only need the right side signal! Got it! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
