Any one have ideas about tracking down that mounting kit?
I'm trying to find a shop that can do the install and replace the hydrolic hoses etc.
I also have to figure out the hydrolics needed to support the FEL. And determine if the existing pump is up to the task. There are aux hydrolic ports under the seat. So there is some capibility there.
In the mean time I'll get some new front tires, sort out a leak in the rear axel that has turned up. Planning on cleaning and painting the FEL. Wire brush and lube the hose connections in prep for replacement.
It's a chore for sure, but I have more time than money, so here I go.
Cheers Richard

Well good for you hey you have to start somewhere ! I'm also in the process of looking for something just a little bigger than my current JD 317 and 330 . In a perfect world I would find a JD 430 in good shape and be done . Good luck with your project I'm sure you will get it all figured out .
