Tractorman810 Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 well a little more this eve, have shortend up the first part of the arms from the knuckle back to the tractor, as the knuckle was to fer forward from the bonnet, also made the new uprights to mount it to,slightly taller ,thanks marcus your right it does look right now,sits level with the top of the bonnet , and a tapered shape to , as i still wasnt happy with the first ones, so new under bracket uprights hydrallic points ect, also started the muck fork of to, although i need to respace the prongs, they just dont look right, but its deff 8 in the pics i have seen,front grill guard started ,had to be creative with the chin point a si cant find any really decent pics, but it look ok i think, and side support arms fitted to between the front and uprights to stop it spinning while lifting/lowering,which has helped no end actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordson major Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Hi I just looked in for an update and saw the mods to the loader mounts I think it looks correct now I was not sure on the look before when you asked and did not want to post without giving correct info on the height and line of the booms to the bonnet ( why can't you find a picture when you need it). Did you ever think anymore about making a few as I like it even more as parts are being added It is still on top of my want list. Keep up the good work Regards Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
