Best Modifications I've Made!

[mffarmall]

Two of the best things I have ever added to a tractor.

1. Put an LCD light on the canapy. Got it from the dollar store 3 AAA and mounted it above the dash. Great because I can turn it on and use it while I drive or after I turn off the tractor. It helps if I'm working on it. And the best thing if I leave it on, I still have a battery in the morning.

2. Found an old 4' electric PVC pipe and I mounted it on the side of the role bar. I have enough room to put two shovels and a manuer scoop. I have never hit my head or shoulder on it. I can't count how many times I have been out and needed a shovel for something.

Tool box is next for me. I hate running back to the shop. Now I just keep a large adj wrench hanging from the PTO engage lever. Bucket hooks would be nice, and thumbs for the bucket if I get to keeps dreaming!

I Run an ad in the paper wanting plastic pipe and somebody called and gave me about 200 feet of used 4 inch.

Cool adding a couple little things like that to make life a little easier. I did the same since I was always working out on my rural property and eventually needed something I didn't have with me. So I added a bunch of stuff such as clamps to carry shovels and rakes, two tool boxes and chain boxes, drink holders, ash tray, 2 way radio pouch, extra lights for night work and even a gun scabbard.
Now life is good.

yesterday, I was boxblading a long gravel road on my property; one thing I MUST get is some kind of big rear view mirror to hang from the canopy. Man, I have one SORE NECK!!!

Lights and a means to hold shovels and rakes are very handy. These are some of my favorite, low cost add-ons:

Here are some cup holders I installed. Make a template with peel & stick paper, positioned them to be symmetrical to the tractor and to each other. Place the "negative" of the peel & stick template to protect the finish while cutting. Completed the cuts, Drop in the drop in cup holders, then Enjoy refreshments my wife brings me:

Here is a simple mod to add ammo boxes as tool boxes or chain holders. I use the right one for chains and the left one for tools, etc.

Mirrors - use large round convex ones. The convex mirrors seem to be give the best view even with vibration. These are placed so that I can see just about anything behind the tractor.
