</font><font color="blue" class="small">( To move the aux. hydraulics I started by clamping a screw-eye to the oem arm so that the round eye extends just beyone the end of the arm. Then I went to the lumber store and got a series of 1/8" galvanized pipe sections and fittings and came up on the right side of the control panel, across the front of it, and then attached a knob that I got at an auto parts store. To secure the pipe to the tractor, I used two pieces of garage door channels that I found at the lumber store. They have holes in them that the pipe nicely fits through, and I attached them at the top corners of the the oem cover plate on the front of the tractor. It is a very neat setup that works beautifully. Everyone thinks the tractor came that way! And I must add that being able to control the mini-hoe bucket and arm at the same time not only feels right, but saves a lot of time. )</font>
As Bart Simpson would say "Ay Carumba!" I need to see some pics of your innovations, especially the repositioning of the aux hydro. Any way you can get a grateful neighbor to pop over and shoot a few pics for the Forum?
Sounds great, and welcome aboard...

I'll check that out tracdoc, but in the meantime, I neglected to mention the double-ended screw-eye turnbuckle that goes from the oem aux. hydraulic lever with clamped on screw-eye up to the top of the control panel. It is this turnbuckle that gives the setup the 'rigid flexiblity' to work so well. I'll put together an actual 'as-built' list of parts as soon as I can if you're interested.....

Count me among those that isn't exactly "getting it". I hope pictures will be forthcoming, as I suspect that's the only way I'll be able to comprehend your modification.

Sorry for the hazy description of the aux. hydraulic mod Phils, but then some people think I've always been in a hazy daze! I post pics when I can....
