Tractor was in a guys family since it was a new and a nephew was using it to build a break on the side of an AZ mountain (a hill if you're from a place with real mountains). He ended up having a tree come down over the top of it and bust it up pretty good. I have the hood but its bent all to hell.
At least that's the story I got.

I've seen people use swaged lifting cables as chokers; put one end through one loop then Clevis through the drawbar. A possible answer? It does seem like a lot of various sizes on this machine though.

Kind of like me and certain sockets, if I buy enough of the damn things, maybe I can find one when I need it!

I actually have no idea what I'm going to do with all those clevises... or what he did with them; they came with the tractor pretty much as you see it.
I think for now, I'll just let them hang off there like those guys who hang a sack off their hitch. You may have a truck with balls, but I got a tractor with about a dozen clevises hanging off mine!

Thanks pop pop. I'll try and post a picture this weekend.
The cover will probably be reasonably easy to bend back into shape, but in the picture just before the stump, you can see that the bracket / bolt holes on the front top of the tractor were snapped off. I assume the cover attaches there, but I honestly haven't looked closely enough.
Too much fun cleaning up the yard and not dragging heavy things by hand. I've got a good sized burn pile going, now just gotta wait for some cooler weather.

Your crawler will be a big help tending your fire. Being diesel it will be safer, but you and the machine can still be burnt. Take care and have fun. Don't forget the marshmallows/ hotdogs.I've got a good sized burn pile going

That instrument cover/panel can be had on ebay, as well as some diesel hoods. Farmer John has some. Shipping would probably be rough.
