That's a nice looking emblem there my friend ;)
I got a chance to put mine on this evening. It was a little dark when I took the photos. I put mine on the hinge. Yours and mine were poured at the same time.
Hope your enjoying your new tractor. :thumbsup:


Ah That's an old picture, I was pissed I placed it over the glass label. The next day I got the nerve to remove it by carefully sliding a razor blade under it. That emblem sticks very well even the second time.

I moved it up above the glass label, and put one on the back glass and the other side.
I smile:) every time I see them. It's really a nice finishing touch. (I owe you one)

Paul you're going to have to ask your wife to make you some more.
Because, it looks better on mine then yours on your hinge.:D

On the glass, it's class:thumbsup: on the hinge, it looks like you stuck it on the hinge.

Thank you both again for these beautiful emblems you made for me.

As for enjoying using the tractor,(98hrs) after this storm tomorrow I'm going to have over 100 hrs on the tractor:shocked: I don't even remember using it:confused3:

Looks good sir and your more than welcome. I had to put mine on the hinge just to be different :laughing:
Actually my glass got decals on it so I liked the hinge. Didn't put it on my back glass because with the blower on the back you wouldn't see much. Did you get the ballast box with yours? I got one and haven't put it on but will this summer.
Wifey got a new system on the way so when she gets it up and running the emblems will be much more detailed so I'll be in touch and see if we can do a few more upscale ones for you.

Wow your getting good use on that machine. I only got 170 on mine but hey, it sure is fun :thumbsup:

I can't see how you can inprove on them, I love the way mine came out. Couldn't be more pleased with them.
Ok it's time for you guys to offer for sale custom emblems, customs mods etc. Do you need a Manager? because I can fly up there and get things started:D for 20 percent of course? (plus air fair) dinner, tour, ride in the stang.

:laughing: That's an idea lol. This next step is part of the evolution to perfection as I call it. She had limitations to what she could do with the graphics and design but now we'll have far more capabilities. She's got the know how and the interest so she may as well have the tooling to do it. She does a lot of work locally when it comes to the custom stuff and enjoys it.
You can still come up for a tour and a run in the Stang :thumbsup:

TOP quality work guys as usual.

What no **** on the TV monitor this time? Waxman you're slipping.

If one of you could kindly show us how to add heated mirrors this forum user would appreciate it as a next mod. BIG storm coming tonight and I have the snowblower hooked up but have to keep cleaning the mirrors so I can see to go.

I could see how that would benefit you, Maybe 4 Shorts will make one.
I have no need for them and don't want the added wires at the mirrors showing, Though a hole could be drilled through the center of the arms hiding the wire.
That is 4 short Mod all the way:thumbsup:

Gee I don't like high jacking someone's thread but Waxman said I could answer.

Fred I thought about doing the heated mirror thing a few years ago and looked into doing it. There are heating elements that can be purchased to place behind the glass to get you there but there were a few issues reported at the time.

One of the issues that was reported was the heating element caused some discolouration on the glass after a short period of time and the other was actually trying to get the glass out of the mirror frame with out breaking it.

If anyone runs a 3pt snowblower on their tractor it would be a great option and one that is really needed in my opinion. I'll have to revisit it again and give it a closer look. I'd like to have it on a relay with a timer as well, possibly integrated with the rear window defrost that's already on mine.

I'm pretty well modded out with my 5740 but I was telling Wifey the other day there was something I'd like to put in the machine but couldn't find it anywhere. Well wifey is like a Beagle on a rabbit and found it for me and it's ordered. I should have it in a week and will do a video on it.

There's a lot of talant on this site (example:Waxman) but you are up there with the best of them. I was more than impressed with your turbo thread. Good stuff sir :thumbsup:


Ok Wax, it's back to you :laughing:

Oh I was editing my post while you posted , That is a 4short Mod all the way:thumbsup: If, Kubota sells just the glass mirror ? maybe it can be attached over the factory mirror with the heating element sandwiched between them. Then put a rubber trim around the plastic mirror housing edge. Yeah, I wouldn't be able to do that turbo work, I admire Fred's drive on that install.
Home today, 12 inches happening right now and probably heading your way:thumbsup:

If Kubota sells just the glass mirror then it's replaceable. You could always take them to a glass shop and see if they could remove the mirror from the frame. The mirrors on my dump truck are the heated semi kind. Work nice for plowing. I have them wired into the parking lights.
