Can you put clamshell fenders with a 45 jd loader?

I have a jd 70 gas wf with a 45w loader. For safety I would like to put on clamshell fenders, but it looks to me like the right side may not allow. Any one know?
I know in Michigan years ago it was a law tractors had to have fenders. If they put on a loader did they just remove them after it arrived from the dealer if fenders don't work with loaders?
 
The loader brackets I had went into the top bolts too so I don't see how they would attach unless you had the wheels really wide and made an adapter plate to bolt them too.
 
I have the wheels about as far out as they can go. I have kids who like to ride with me and I may make an adapter bracket from strap steel. I have a set of flat top B fenders to go on my B, but my B has the clamshell fenders on it now.
 
I suspect we all grew up riding along. Even though there is no safe place for riders. You have to rely on what your own concious will allow.
I'm not going to preach about no riders because I did it when I was little and have let my kids ride,but not much.

I'd say the best place I rode was atop a flat top fender hanging on with both hands ! although when real little I'd stand on the platform and drive while my uncle sat in the seat and keep an eye on me.
The worst was in a cab tractor. No room to sit or stand very good, nothing to hold onto. Had the door open and I flew out and caught the handle on the hood and my back went up against the loader frame which may of saved me ? I don't think we were moving much at all maybe pushed into a pile of ? My foot was stuck under the clutch pedal so it could not be pushed down. My uncle was able to yank it out of gear. I think it REALLY shook him up more then me.
 
I was riding on a 2cyl tractor similar to mine with a 45 loader when I was about 10 years old and lost my footing and went around the inside of the rear wheel to the ground. Shook me and the driver up a lot so I am very careful about my riders and want to accentuate safety-just in case.
