MalMac 1,332 #27 Posted May 22, 2016 Looks like you are putting forward swept axel and reduction steering on. If that's the case, drill your extra set of holes for your steering reduction before you put the hood stand on. Also you will need to grind a little off the upper lifting arm because it will interfere with the bevel gear. Mine I had to grind down just about to the first hole. I have done a few add reductions and each one needed ground a little differently. Looks like you pick up a wonderful machine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
