The old guy accross the alley got the itch to "actuate" his old 212 after seeing all the stuff I've done with my Kubota GR.So,I got a couple of actuators and he found a winch locally and put that on himself.Bought himself a backblade for the back and we finished the front blade today.He's pretty tickled with it and I'm glad to help him out.He's a good ole boy.

Some pics;

Power angle blade for a 212, now why didn't Deere think of that???? Nice work, wish you'd been my neighbor when I had my 200 series tractors!!

The setup was pretty straightforward on the dozer blade.The rear sleeve hitch was a bit tougher as there's no center notch in the rear pan,we had to go out and way up to make it work.He redone the drawbar on his aerator and really likes the down pressure mode-no extra weights needed.

slkpk,those atv tires are huge.Just barely clear the fenders,I think they are 26's.

No foot prints-just an oil spot on the floor...:sidelaugh

No emblem.That's just the top of the bar stock that he bolted the winch to.
