It’s a Grote model 16092 I made the brackets out of sheet metal The tri-lobe knobs came from the Hillman drawers at Lowe’s. The mirror does not move. I had to loosen the knobs until I could just move the mirror by hand.

I have added a west coast style mirror mounted horizontally to the cross member.

I want to replace the OE seat on my M5660. Tractor Seats dot com salesman says these seats will work. Is anyone using one of these seats on an M5660 or any other tractor model? I think the KM models use the Milsco seat with a KM pedestal. The KM 242 is the KM 236 with armrests. Bill

I didn’t cut the canopy down. That canopy fits several widths of ROPS. I guess they couldn’t figure out a way to make a variable width cross member.

Picture of installed canopy. I added the crossmember to the front to stabilize the side frames and to provide a location for an overhead rear view mirror.

Local dealers could order tubes but didn’t have any in stock. I wound up buying a complete Weasler series 3 assembly at Rural King and cutting it down. This way I’ll have an intact guard on the shaft. Bill

Where can I get Italian style inner and outer pto tubes? I need series 2 (or B2). I’ve got to lengthen a Binacchi pto shaft. I need 20 inches of each. I can cut to the exact length I need. Bill

It has a chopper on the fan I’m sure the hose isn’t cheap. Right now I’ve got to find 20 inches each of the inner and outer trilobe pto tubes to lengthen the pto shaft before I can run it on my M5660. Bill

Well, I have one now. Found a barely used Peruzzo Turbo 400 on marketplace. Picked it up today. I’ve got to lengthen the pto shaft before I can post a video of it running. Bill

I might could fix a hanger for the nozzle that would allow me to stay on the tractor and just drive down or up the driveway. See the picture of my driveway in my additional post.

Post some pictures please

This is part of my driveway looking up with the county road behind me. Just blowing it to the side won’t work because of the banks. I have to blow it all the way down and across the county road at the bottom and I don’t like doing that. That’s why I’m looking for a debris vacuum/shredder/blower...

Does anyone have any experience with a Peruzzo Turbo400 tractor mounted and driven debris loader? I want to drive down the driveway, suck the leaves out of the ditches and blow the debris further out. https://www.peruzzousa.com/Peruzzo-Turbo-400-p/turbo400.htm Bill

I appreciate everyone’s input and responses. I ordered and installed a Thunderbird Industries TracTop 200. Their kit includes the canopy, frame, and shipping in one price. https://thunderbirdaz.com/

Just the plastic top.
