You folks on TBN has helped me so much,and I'am posting a few pictures to show what I've done with all this info and maybe give somebody else some ideas.
This is a belly pan that I made from scrap that was design to be fairly easy to install/unstall because I did't want any drain holes to maybe grab a snag an maybe go inside an do some damage

This is my right side step. that is real handy if you know what I mean. Just to the right is simple pipe plug that hold short pieces of chains inside.

Finally,
another switch view with remote valve in back. The valve is mounted inside a box made from two pieces of u-channel {you
guessed it} [scrap] an mounted to the ROP with u-bolts.

I almost forget!
The toothbar in 4th picture,I found it at [partboys.com or maybe partsboys.com] @ 40% off [heavy duty]. Cost me $195 plus $80 shipping.

I hope this info an pic will help.
I think you all.

Slick looking set up, especially the grapple. The belly pan is nice also. I do a lot of slash and log retrieval for fire mitigation and use a Power Trac which has a slick belly and it just slides off of stuff that would have snagged or damaged my regular NH tractor. Nice work!
