Hayride follow up.....

Mike Rakow · Sep 1, 2014

Thanks again to everyone who offered tips and opinions as I got my tractor squared away(in general) and specifically for a hayride for the family kids this past weekend. Here are some photos of my solutions to the problems I inquired about....
mirror mount....not perfect but it worked (mostly)..
cup holder ($2.99 at Pep Boys)
set up for the trailer
set up for mowing
exhaust turn out (cost-1 dozen donuts at the local muffler shop!).
hayrides...

Make sure the breaks are working properly, to stop immediately when necessary.......

Got 'em. Donuts? Ha! Priceless!

Nice pictures! Looks like you had fun. Avoid going
up or down hills with that load.

yessir....as you can see the terrain we were on was very level.
Thanks.

Nice Setup. I tie a soup can to the lift arm for water bottle.
I have a hitch pin so I don't have to worry about the ball twisting. And I have the vertical exhaust. I also have a sore neck. Mirror sounds good.
But I don't have your paint job.

Its hard to tell but I think you have the check chain brackets on wrong were they bolt around the PTO... The chain hole goes up... It will work like you have'em but stress the lower lift arms full up...

Holy crap, Hobo...you have good eyes!!! I did not even notice the holes were not centered on the brackets. Now that I look at several other images...you are 10% correct--they are wrong. I will swap them around this weekend. Thanks again.

I installed a set wrong it did not take me long to figure out they really stressed the lower lift arms at full lift..
