Most Useful Minor Additions to Tractor

Small tool box, PVC tube for holding some chains, extra work lights, front and rear cameras, DVD player, and a switch on the left side door to turn the dome light into a curtesy light.

I can't see your pic but thanks.

I can't see it it either. Only TBN does this with my pictures, what a PIA.

Let's try it another way:

Hi FTG-05,

I can't see the last picture, nor the first one posted in the other series, but I did see the ends of the bolts sticking out back on the last 2 of the BB/RR/WB.

Also, are the 2 metal blocks/boxes mounted on the top back at both ends of the box blade for trailer hitches?

How do you use them?

Thanks for the great pictures we could see.

PS: I CAN see it where I quoted you in my reply... Go figure....

The two receiver tubes on either end were for a BB guide wheels that I used once and then never again. I didn't design them correctly and they stuck way too far out the back end. One of the wheels lost an argument with a tree, I took them off and never used them again.

I may end using the receivers again when I design and build a log drag that attaches to the end of my BB since that's third most use I have my BB (third after using it as a BB and as a counterweight).

Thanks,

I built a 3 pt. Trailer mover that also doubles as a ballast rack and chain attachment point for pulling downed trees or major branches . Next on the agenda is attaching my led lights which I have had before the tractor. Looking at creative attachment methods to the rops that would offer more flexibility before getting the drills out lol. And some unique mirrors is a priority.

Nobody has mentioned it but snow plowing on the driveway really would get easier with mirrors in tight places or when you're spinning around out in the road and can't see potential vehicles coming from behind.

Where did you find that mirror?

The most used and liked are a step on my BX and B7800.

I found it in the snow bank coming home from the saw mill on a bumpy road - no kidding. Think it came off an UPS truck. A local Hardware carries them or Google round convex truck mirror. Amazon has them

Rockauto.com has many mirrors to choose from.

you asked for a chain holder. There are quite a few thread entries in the archives.
Here is mine. I have three chains in there and it works just great.

Thanks Gordon I'll check it out. Lucky find.

While on the subject of tractor improvements, I added a 12 volt plug controlled with an on/off switch to the back of my New Holland tractor. Both my broadcast seeder and weed sprayer have 12 volt motors needing power so now I can hook them up, plug them in and go to work controlling each from the switch on the console.
A low cost but very convient improvement.
