The only mods that I have done are:
Slime in the tires.
Spinner knob on the steering wheel.
Fire extinguisher on the engine cover.
Changed to Mobil 1 in the engine oil.
Still have to:
Add lights under the canopy.
Finish grapple attachment for the small bucket with teeth.
Finish receiver insert for pin hitch.

I modified my 1445's attachment plate to accept all universal attachments. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Works incredibly well!! I bought a new Bobcat heavy duty auger plus 3 bits including a solid rock bit, aftermarket forks (great deal off ebay), a new Thomas heavy duty 60" bucket for $230(another Ebay steal), and in transit to me is a backhoe attachment with 2 trenching buckets and a thumb for grasping anything within reach.
I plan on adding to my collection with a 72" bobcat finish mower, demolition hammer, box blade,+ more..

Sure Rob, I would like to wait till the backhoe arives in the next couple of days so I can photograph the arsenal of attachments also.
Thanks, Mark

And here's one from the side. Sorry they are so dark. All I did was bolt the bracket to the hood. Very simple addition. Just remember to lift the hood before drilling or you'll pierce the gas tank! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif (I remembered in time /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif)
