here is my toro , i got 22 dollars cash in the encloser...lol 3 shower curtains...made the cab out of old farm gates and apiece of sheet metal i had in the shop.very happy with the way the gathering box turned out. made spring pins to release and rehook the box from a handle in the cab. put a heater in the cab but it has to be really cold to use it. I'm on here to get some ideas myself.

I added a loader to an old sears GT 16 Garden Tractor that my dad bought me and my brother when I was 11. "I'm 25 now". It's my first loader and I've had a blast already with it moving firewood and junk around with it.

I now need to build a bucket for it.

Thanks. I love to build things. I used some factory loader arms that a friend gave to me. I figured I could make them work on something.

The tag on the loader arms says "Pony loader" and I'm not sure but the date looks like 1950. The tag is kinda faded so I can't read it too good.

They worked out great though for the old sears garden tractor.

I plan to build a flatbed one of these days for my truck. My dad says, you can buy one and they'll install it for you without you having to do all that work making one and it just might be cheaper.

I grin, and say. Anybody can go out and buy one and have it installed. But where's the fun in that? lol I don't care about cost. It's not a chore to me to build these things and I want it customized to my liking.

And so what if it cost more than one pre made? I'm not worried about cost if I get to do something I love to do.
