I have all the design and fab work done on the 2 post canopy for the 431T. I adapted the gig which I built for the 2 post on my 831C to work on this one also. It just fastens to the end of the boom on my cherry picker, and locks into two pockets on the 2 post, plus I welded in an eye to hook a come-a-long into to level it while lifting. The last couple of days I fabed a lateral support to reinforce the 2 post from side to side. It bolts down to the top of the rockshaft housing and tranny. I believe this will hold up to any accident that could accrue. There are 4 bolts that go thru the rear axles that hold this to the tractor. Today I will cut out 4 fishplates from 1/4" plate to reinforce the bottoms of the posts where they attach to the axle. I ran into one problem with the build. There wasn't room for the remote levers between the 2 post and the 3pt control quadrant. So I cut the levers off, with plans to reconfigure them. It dawned on me that I had stashed a set of control cables off a snow plow truck, years back so I dug them out. I will build a nice console on the RH side of 2 post for the levers and an anchor bracket down by the service valves and run the 2 cables between. Problem solved. Once that is all done, I will prep it for paint, but can't paint until it warms up. The swing out tool carriers on the sides of the tractor, and the grill guard are done also. I have plenty of other projects to keep me occupied until then.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
