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 ammo 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.

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!
