Kmanbota’s Build Thread

[Kmanbota]

I have learned so much from this forum and love playing on my BX2370. I have just over 100 hours on it and look forward to 100s more. I have a small property (3 acres) and this is the prefect size for me. Attachments include FEL, MMM, Tiller, Back-Blade and Carry-All.

I wanted to start a thread to keep track of and consolidate any modifications I make. Most will likely be modifications that I have learned from other members posts on here.

So far I have only done some minor things to my tractor, like a battery tender hookup, but all the while an improvement.

Thanks everyone for the great ideas and awesome community!

I am working on a Cab for my tractor now, and just ordered lights for it. I’ll post pictures here once I am finished!

Here’s a tease of what I’m working on.... 10”+ of snow in the forecast for today, so I’ll have to put it on hold for a little while.

Is that styrofoam insulation?

Yes it is!

Be very, very careful with open Styrofoam. the slightest spark/flame and it can ignite easily. When it burns, it produces tons of toxic smoke. Unless it is some flame resistant version, best to cover it with something.... Just a suggestion...

That’s a great idea. I need to paint it still, so a flame resistant/spark resistant paint would help with both. It’s currently off of the tractor until I have a chance to finish it.

Cover it in poor mans fiberglass ( https://teardroptrailerbuild.com/making-poor-mans-fiberglass/ ) orrrrrrr

Screen and foam like they do some ultra light projects ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucf2FVIdr1Q )

for a cab...... maybe both?

Some info from the Kayak building world that could be used ( http://www.angstkayak.com/compexp.html )
