I wanted a custom look. Kinda give the tractor a newer look.

looks great!

I've got most of the tractor put back together. It needs a wash from the Arizona dust collecting on it. it looks and runs like it did in 1983. Waiting on a slim profile LED light bar to come in tomorrow for the leading edge of the roof canopy. Overall, I'm pleased at how nice it really came out.

**** tghats nice!

did you weld up the rack/falling branch protection structure ,or did that come with tractor or a canopy kit your installing?

MesaAZguy · Feb 12, 2016

Thank you for the compliment!

The canopy rack came with the tractor. It has a black vinyl cover for sun protection which I didn't install yet. I was debating on leaving the top rack off, but the sun here is so freaking brutal, I put it back on. It also gives me a place to mount the LED lights forwards onto. Any added weight really helps when engaging our concrete tough dirt.

good work, how do you like the quick hitch?

looks nice.. I can't do that to my tractor.:thumbsup:. it's a work tractor not a show tractor

now add a bucket grapple ( the thumb) and you'll be set,, push those trees over , pick them up with the thumb, without getting off the tractor

I love the quick hitch. I had to modify my box blade to make it work. Aside from that, I use my trailer hitch to jockey stuff around.
There was a piece of angle iron that went up through to where the upper hook of the QH is. I had to cut that part from the box and re-weld. It's holding up nicely considering I've been bashing rocks around with it.
