I like to add or design accessories of the era of the tractor (or might have been on the tractor). I have a personal rule that I will not torch or weld any original part and that includes in order to add new parts. I like to maintain the ability to convert it back to :off the assembly line capacity"
On my Case 2 bottom plow I added a 50cal ammo can to hold tools (painted to match the plow). In addition to this I added coverboards and sealed bearing coulters painted to match. My 300 has an aftermarket Kneodler Easy-Ride seat with the toolbox mounted (currently) by the engine. I also changed the oil bath air cleaner to dry element and added JI Case front wheel weights and a front bumper drawbar.
On my Case one bottom plow I am adding a coverboard and a yetter disc coulter.
On my VAC I built and added a "Deluxe" style seat and rebuilt the seat mount to be fully grease-able. A remote valve was also added that is not factory but looks like it might have been. A larger step was added (made out of a CIH magnum step) to help get on easier. I am currently in the works of building a removable buddy seat that my wife can ride with me on my VAC/300 with parts that are somewhat from that era.
Both tractors had receiver hitches added to the drawbars (I know it breaks my welding rule but I have 2 extra drawbars that are factory that I can still use if I want).
I could go an with other modifications around our farm equipment but we would be here for a long time. I will attach pictures of the accessories for those who like to see them. The seat cushions on the VAC are actually reproduction John Deere that I custom made a frame for. Very comfy!
The DC Wheel weight on the VAC was temporary. Now I have 2 sets of rear VAC weights on the tractor.
On my fathers 730 you can see magnum steps bolted in place of the original steps to ease mount and dismount.
