It's always nice to have another MAINAH on TBN,/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Here I am sitting with my head full of things to make for my 1700, shuffling through a Boomer brochure every time one of you guys posts, so I can see whatcha got.

I'm going to repost this as Ford 1700 4wd over on NH own/operate, because I got a ton of other stuff to talk about, and I just figured out this isn't really the right place. In fact/ maybe customization is better. Thanks for all the kind words and encouragement.

Wow Knucklehead, looks good for $6000. You're making me look bad with my wife. We spent twice that money. I hope she doesn't see your buy. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif Kent

Yeah, Kent, but you got a real nice tractor. I spent an hour trying the the cutter, and then dropped it and spread 16 yards of gravel, and I got Popeye arms from the manual steering. I'll learn to go easier. After I got it washed down, I went around tightening every bolt I could find. The exhaust was loose, the loader mounts were loose /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif, the front steel frame that bolts to the block and supports the front axle, radiator, and front of the loader had 4 out of 12 bolts loose /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif. I started a list, which includes spacing out the fenders to cover the tires (which will let me install a tool box), relocating the lights up onto the ROPS, making a cheap n' dirty canopy, making a brush guard and maybe a belly pan. Got a modified truck snowplow rig from my Dad's old Kubota that needs to be cleaned up and installed on a handy little front mount my brother made, and then we'll look at the implements that are arranged along the rock wall back home. Pix to follow on appropriate forum.
