Mirrors I got for Canadian tractor owners

   / Mirrors I got for Canadian tractor owners #61  
I have installed my set, Had to use a bracket-not enough room to mount them on the support arm on my B7800. Could not get the proper angle I needed.

I have a decent vibration and I remember someone recently saying that weight on the mirrors could eliminate the vibration.

Wondering if laying the mirror on it's face, drilling a hole in the center of the molded black plastic (behind the mirror glass) and pouring a liquid into
this area to settle flat and set up would give the mirrors a little additional weight and help stop vibration?

You certainly have made some great modifications. Is the holder for the chainsaw custom? I've been getting by just hauling it in my bucket with the gas, bar oil, chaps, etc. And the mirrors, where can I order them? Thanks!

This is my first post here, and I am dragging up an old thread. Here is clamp-on mounting bracket that I made. I works pretty good. I did not have have to drill or modify the column to attach it, and vibration is not an issue as long as stay out of specific rpm ranges.

I have an idea for more versatile version that I am sketching out.

You should see the European fender flares you can buy for larger Kubota rear fenders like on my M135x. I think they might be available in Canada, too.
They would be the answer to my prayers for mud flying everywhere.

^those are nice fender flares! something to look into.....
what tires do you have there in the 2nd pic? look like Nokian's..... do you use them year round? i'm trying to decide if i 'need' them or not...i run lots of highway, and winter here is mostly packed snow (ice) on the side streets... r1's don't cut it. (studding could be an option) but those Nokian's look like they'd fit the year round bill nicely (just the sticker shock to get over...)

Those are just pictures I copied of tractors from outside the USA with fender flares. I don’t own either of them :laughing:
Heres the 2 I own, and need rear fender flares badly!

I made up a new version of the mirror mount. This version is offset, using an L-bracket. With this design, the mirror can be mounted in multiple configurations. I had them powder coated. I love having mirrors on the machine.
