I recently spent three weeks in OK with my tractor and installed a couple mods. The biggest was the "Add a Grapple". Here are some pictures of the install. The bar was necessary to make it fit the bucket better and also makes it completely removeable. I couldn't find any bulkhead fittings in the Ft. Smith area so I fabricated some from closed hydraulic nipples welded in holes drilled in a piece of chinese angle iron. I got all the reuseable hydraulic fittings and hose from discounthydraulic.com and had them sent there ahead of me. Tested it out on some logs and brush piles and it works great. The hoses run to the rear remotes and the grapple operates from the control valves for the remotes. My grand daughter is operating it in the video. A tooth bar will be added on my next visit.
