Some place in here some time ago, someone posted a picture of a grab handle that he had bolted to the FEL arm to help getting on and off the tractor. Anybody know wher the picture might be ?

that's nice ,but I'd prefer a cute,blond 26 year old girl to help ...
Does anyone know where that style grip/handle may be purchased?
From an old fart, who would be a likely user, this one looks to be more egonomically correct, than the one referenced in post #2.
This was custom made for myself & this machine. If you like, I’ll contact the shop to see if they are interested in making another. If so, put you in contact with them & you can make your own deal.

Can she be a brunette instead? Hell even a red head will work!
@85Hokie - - dammit - - you just ruined the feeble fantasy I formed from Jay's post.... ;)

Got both brunette and red head stories that still make me shiver almost 40 years later.

I shall expound no further.....:censored::censored:

Thank you for the offer, but most of my chainsaw days are behind me.

There are any number of aftermarket 'grab handles' made for Jeeps/Off-road vehicles that can be adapted to tractors. Each tractor being a little different....there probably isn't one that is perfect for all.

This is what I ended up using.
