Is drying up, had to add a step. Proves true once
again; a few inches makes a difference.

Doesn't take much. Back when I had such bad back problems,I welded a piece of plate under the loader frame on the 1020 Deere so I could step on that instead of up on top of it to get on.

Pete ..... if that step is swinging like it appears to be, a guy would have to be careful when using it I think? If it pivots in, a little shin damage might result maybe?

I have seen them use 1"cable to mount steps that way if you hit something it just bends back.

While not ridgely attached it does have some limited movement, wanted some flex in the event I hit something. Easily removed for next owner. It only extends downward about 4 inches so it does not pose much problem.

Worked electric distribution for 16 years so I have experience with those on bucket trucks.

I build "GRAMMPY" steps for all my tractors.

Nice work gramps. Time was; hop on, jump off. Now hst with no tramission hump to cross and steps are required.

I sure didn't know getting old was gonna be this hard. I've had to put steps on all my tractors that didn't come with them so I can get on. I agree in years past it was climb on and jump off and I'm thinking that and a wreck might be why I need the steps now. If I'd have known I was gonna live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself (NOT). Keith
