Shows my bucket with homemade forks and also the uprights to protect the loader hoses when logs roll back while pushing and lifting them. Also shows my rear hitch box with 2 inch receiver and hydraulic winch, chainsaw carrier, chain holders that also carry peavy's and shovels and such. My newly fabricated grill of inch square tubing, hardware cloth and screen, painted black, bolted to the body tin, complete with relocated headlights. Recently replaced toolboxes. Rear lights. Loss of the rear reflectors when the 3 point caught in the tire chains and slammed up into them, (I added inner stay chains to the 3 point with turn-buckels and fixed that). Tractor has amber flashers, in the winter there are two on each rear fender and one per side in the front also. Suspension seat, tiny steering wheel and shortened shifter to allow not so petite me to enter and exit easier. All the lights and horn work on relay switches and all circuits are fully fused or breakered. Extra circuits pre-wired to front and rear. Axillary power to the rear. Rear hydraulics plumbed with a pressure limiting valve and selector switch for channeling the power to the bucket and hitch, or the rear outlets. Loader is a quick attach bush hog model. Rear hitch box is made of 1.5 inch heavy wall steel, with corner braces, welded to a 3 point draw bar. Allows use of pto for spreading manure, and the use of any tow hitch. I also have a separate set of skidding chain hook ups that I can use without the winch. Not shown is the welded carrier that bolts to the draw bar for carrying chainsaw gas and oil, along with a tool box, it sits inside the drawbar, just short of the pto, but doesn't allow the use of my slip clutch with the spreader. The spinners on the steering wheel were a bit of a joke, as I got them for 99 cents each, but are actually very handy. I had mirrors on it, but they were more limb catchers in the woods than anything else. The front tires were 4 ply, but gave out with the loader, so went to six ply. The loader frame is very heavy steel and connects to the front frame and rear axles, then underneath to link both halves. Both filters, oil and hydraulic, are housed inside a steel shield after breaking off the hydraulic filter on a stump and plumbing in a new one with pipe fittings and hydraulic hose. The oil pan dip stick tube is epoxied back on and has a piece of flat steel bracing it and acting as a shield from anything that might run up against it.Made the tire chains from a larger set. All the hooks and hangers are very handy for unexpected little things that need carrying. This is the little tractor with a serious "can do" attitude! It's also the tractor that routinely goes where the neighbors Kubotas and Belarus's won't and can't go. I know this because when I have managed to break down or get stuck, they can't get to me to get me home.
