More progress than expected on 931

As I posted last night, I had completed the entry steps and had to build a pair of transition plates to connect the steps to the cab frame under the doors. I fabed up my my prototype, a simple triangle, wide enough width to acomidate the 15" width of the steps, and then drilled mounting holes in it to match the cab mounting holes. It worked out that the rear bracket hole lined up with a cab mounting hole in the tractor platform, and all I needed to do was to weld L brackets on the front cab mounting struts to secure front of the steps. This makes it easy to finish the support braces from the tranny to the lower part of the steps to complete them and ready them for paint.
Love it when things come together.

The steps look great. Will they be ok when you are side dressing shoulder high corn? lol
Dad gassed some with an 830 low tin EH. narrow front that was as high as the hood/
He had to do it in the heat of the day or it would have snapped.
 
Those are nice looking steps. And it is sweet when they fab up just right the first time. I usually end up with three or four throw away pieces before I get to something that's satisfactory. One question - From looking at the pics I'm wondering if the steps will interfere with battery removal. ADB
 
I was partial to the factory steps, but after seeing all the work you put into them and how they look mounted, I'm on the team now.
 
The batteries actually lift straight up through a hinged cover in the floor boards There is a panal still not installed in the front of the battery box to keep the dirt and dust out. Should be a little easier to change bats now with better steps and the RH door
