Cool! Any idea what the brackets in the middle/lower bucket were for?

Those look like beefy front tires.

I have seen pics of others with tires like these, and wondered if they were larger than stock or not. The fronts do have dry rot, but are holding air. The back are in better shape. I don't have any idea about the bracket. Anybody else Know? I love that it fits on my 5X8 trailer + is a little more manageable than my Wheel Horse. I like Mike's power steering idea. That would be Great!

Well I haven't had a chance to use her yet, but am already in need of a hydraulic line for the FEL. Where should I get it? Doesn't seem to leek unless it's running, but I'd like to fix it next chance I get. Also I've never done that sort of repair, is it like brakes on a car where you have to bleed the system afterwards? Any advice/ instructions appreciated.

My local NAPA makes hydraulic lines. So does the local tractor shop(Independent). I have bought lines from both. Just take the old one in, and they should be able to match it/make it.
