peter lena 8,628 #16 Posted February 23, 2022 @Maxwell-8 noting your picture of your hood raising front addition, notice the bolt on area ? those 2 hood hold on bolts could be replaced with a couple of these, https://www.zoro.com/fabory-eyebolt-38-16-1in-with-shoulder-u160000370125/i/G4981112/feature- have them on my hood base point , washers and elastic nuts , why ? if you wanted to add a spring assist to a plow or blower lift point , makes a very easy go to point . also add one , or more to the plow or blower . the picture is only a reference , your area will obviousely have something similar . think from your responses , that you are really on your way to a good build , keep it going , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
