Real nice mounting & fitting of the floor extensions

Thank you Guys.
When I was getting the floor extensions I noticed a nice tool box so I grabbed it too. Here it is on the tractor.
I also put an electric shut-off switch in my gas line to the starting motor. On most motors, when the motor is not running the float valve can stop the flow of gas into the carb because there is no movement or vibration. These poor little starting motors are shut off but they get to bounce and vibrate and shake for the next many hours. Their bowls over fill and the little motor floods and won't start sometimes. Now, maybe I can avoid that trauma.

Nice looking made to order tool box, now you got to fill it with parts. Sounds like that switch in the fuel line will work out great.

So today I got back to the 730. My plan all along was to have dual hydraulics on this tractor, it didn't come with them. When I went plowing at our spring Plowday, I only had time to get single hydraulics plumbed in, but now I have duals.

A couple of months ago, I told you that I put a cute little electrically controlled shut off valve in the gas line to the put-motor carburetor. Well, it only worked for three starts and then wouldn't let any gas through. The valve was in a horrible position, under the hood, and on the far side of the carb. I had taken it out and thought I could get by with no valve for a while. Nope, the poor little motor flooded if there was any bouncing or rough stuff. So, today I started mounting a manual shut-off valve. It will be remotely controlled, by hand. Oh ya I also put the valve on the close side of the carb, so I can get at it if need be.
