Backup mirror for 2004 BX23

[pochie]

I have tried to mount a mirror various places with no satisfactory results. I tried on the roll bar and maybe mounting on the hood or either side of the hood. If anyone has attached a backup mirror I'd love to hear where you installed it and how. I am 71 and have a difficult time turning my head around when backing up. My tractor has front loader and backhoe attached. Thanks for any advice. Pochie

I used bar aluminum, bolts with tubing (to prevent rubbing off paint). 1st priority was added storage for tools, ratchet straps, ect. Wide angle mirrors added behind **** boxes for mirror protection. Drop FEL lose mirrors.


Others have found and installed golf cart mirrors.

Pochie here again. I found some golf cart mirrors on this site: Audew. A pair for $18.00 and free shipping. Need to make two holes in arm and they swivel. Looks like they will work. I ordered a pair today.
i7win7: Thanks for the pics. You did a fine job.

On the loader, golf cart mirrors.

Yep, on the FEL loader post. I used a 'van' type mirror that I found in the local auto-parts shop. The mounting bracket was fabricated by a local metal fabrication shop and I cut up a floorboard mat to use between the bracket and the arm to act as anti-vibration. Works great!
