Not a tractor mod, but putting the implements on dedicated dollies helps a lot. Especially the post hole digger or the rototiller.

When I made my tractor bumper, I used heavy wall rectangular pipe. It bolts to the tractor and the lid and bumper are connected and hinged so the bumper lays down to carry t-posts ect and then the inside carries tools, top-link and spare pins for different hook ups. Just enough room for a chainsaw and fuel can. Has worked for many different chores over the years. I'll have to see if I can get a pic loaded.

Edit: I'm sorry, I didn't realize this was in the terramite section, I found the thread thru the 'today's posts' link... not a place to brag about my JD mods.

I did the same thing Greg but saw your post before I created one of my own.....

Are you asking for non-terramite pictures? Who you were asking wasn't clear. I will happily share, but don't wish to clog your thread unless that's what you are asking for...

I've used a terramite TLB a few times, stout little machines.

Hi dieselcrawler & ovrszd
I do not want to clog the thread However if you have a good idea with a picture I would welcome that

 

[dieselcrawler]

I'll keep it simple...

Wheel spacers that fit between the outter rim and center dish. Gained 4.5" on each side.



Chain saw scabbard



Bucket extention to increase capacity, easily u-bolts in a few minutes.



Full cage ROPS/FOPS

Those are some GREAT MODs. You gave me some ideas for my own tractor.
The chainsaw scabord & the loader extension can add more versatility to the tractor. The ROPS looks professionally made. Great job

I dig my new lighting.

 

[AustinVideoman]

Oh, wait. I forgot the back hoe thumb. That thing is really cool.

 

[dieselcrawler]

Austin, is that the 'Black-Ops' Terramite? *grin* Jokes aside, I like it better than yellow.

To follow up my earlier posts, I recently built a brush screen for the back of my ROPS...



Yes, I realize its yellow. I'm a walking contradiction.

 

[dragoneggs]

Lot's of mods made but biggest impact has to be Piranha Tooth Bar... no question. Wheel spacers and bucket hooks probably take the silver and bronze medals but shoot... LED ROPS lights and under-armor need honorable mention as well.

Most useful are simple forks made from used 7 inch channel and attached with one bolt to hold them in place
