New Holland front end loader mod. 270TL John Deere,Case more available

What year is the tractor? Not sure if that would mount up or not. From the pics it looks like he probably needs a 16LA loader.

Just sold my 14 year old TC35 this a few months ago. The tractor was real good to me. The visibility from the operators platform is second to none. I miss that a quite a bit.

Your mods are spot on. And your repair of the battery tray was a lot more elegant than mine was. Nice work!

My other tractor has a loader, I'm not going to put one on the New Holland.

Looks like new! Mine is a 2011 and the battery tray is already getting cruddy. I think it may have something to do with being left outdoors and water coming through that screen in the hood and washing battery acid down on the plate below where it collects and starts to rust out the pan.

From your photos, I note that your muffler is attached with bolts!
Good luck on those bolts when you try to replace that muffler.
Just broke two off when trying to replace the muffler on my Ford 1920.
Drilling with left hand drill bits works, but is not an easy fix.
If you can get those bolts out now (without breaking them off) you should consider replacing them with studs.
You can always use a nut splitter if the nuts then become frozen to the studs.

Finally finished modified the front to accommodate the weight bracket I acquired. 2 of the 4 88 pounders should do for now.
