Thanks again! J, I stopped at the dealer last week and told them I needed hooks. They showed me an older bucket that they had just finished and it looked awesome, so I said do it. It cost abount a hundred. They use a strip of steel/iron(about 1/2" thick), install the hooks(bigger one in the middle), bolt it, weld it and paint it. I haven't had the opportunity to use them yet, but they should come in handy. I'd like to have some hooks or hoops installed on the mower deck to make moving it easier(I'll add this to the wish list!) Mutt, it's funny that you say that about the SMV emblem. My first thought was to take it off, and only attach when I need it, but I guess it will stay on. Jerry S., I'm in Ashburnham on the NH border( the hills of Worcester County, a.k.a the Monadnok region) and I wish I'd had the Kubota this winter! And aaargh!, maybe some wet snow tonight... I've been very consciencious about safety, wearing the seat belt, lowering the implements, using the parking brake, lowering the implements, etc., but heads up! I caught my pant leg on one of the knobs on the floor yesterday while dismountiing. Thankfully the mower deck was removed. 6' 3" x 240 hurts hitting the ground from any height. But I popped a few dozen cherries, revenge from all my old mowers, and broke up some snow piles to help with the melting process. Operate safely!
