Hello and THANKS for the replies and welcomes!!

Wasn't long after these photos were taken the ol girl was out plowing snow! Sure having fun with her!!
Managed to stuff here in the warm garage....once the place gets organized there will be more room....eeeh...for more stuff?!
Hope not!!
Seems like the bigger the garage....the more stuff!!
Last edition will be the Bridgeport mill!
To much STUFF...NOT ENOUGH TIME!!
And the saga continues!!
Best Wishes!

Nice clean tractor. I'm especially glad you think enough of your toys to find a
warm dry place to store them. Mine only get a dry place in the barn to stay,
warm if the sun is out.
 
Get some good counter weight on the rear you should not have a problem lifting that Bridgeport to move it around.

Bought a 3 point attachment that has forks on it...holds up to 4000 lbs. I have 2 55 gallon steel drums that will get rebar and a lift point out of the top then topped off with cement. The barrels will also have 2 steel rods running through top n bottom with large eyelets welded to them for securing. If I use both barrels there will be about 2400+ lbs back there!!
Just curious, do you recommend putting 2 stabilizing chains on the 3 point? Was really thinking about carrying that load.
Thanks!

JD utility tractors similar to your 401 utilized sway blocks to limit draft link sway from side to side. These sway blocks had positions for both Cat l & Cat ll widths.

Thank You!! Yes I saw that after looking back there thinking about the chains!! One other question...given that she's about 60 hp I would assume a cat II 3 point? It lists 1,2 on readings I've seen online. Thinking about getting a quick hitch so figure I better get it correct!!
Thanks for your help!!
Best Wishes!
