Anyone else have to do this? I'm just wondering what you guys did. I could possibly bolt something onto the ROPS, although I was thinking about making something that comes off the platform. Just holding the box about where I want it, I'm thinking a little bit ahead of the levers for the hydraulics, above and closer to the fender so it doesn't impede the hydraulic levers. What have you guys done? This is a 3 switch control box for a New Holland 892. Looks like it slips into an SMV bracket. Donovan from Wisconsin [Reply]   [No Email]

The magnet I had wasn't strong enough for the size of the box so I made something up with some stuff we had laying around and painted it. donovan from wisconsin This post was edited by Don-Wi at 19:07:48 08/18/12.

I've never had a problem as long as you don't let a tree branch wipe it off the fender. [Reply]  [No Email]

I've got whats left of a magnetic trailer light that kissed the road. That magnet should hold the control box. Just gotta remove it from whats left of the light and check it out.
