 Topic: WD45 SMV sign
Posted: 05 Aug 2017 at 10:50pm |
Looking for photos of SMV sign on the rear of a WD45. How and where did you attach the SMV to the rear of the WD45?

use that notch in the flat plate on the back of the tractor. would be right in the middle of the rear end. works good' better than putting a hole in the finder or some place you wish you would not of did later down the road' got one there for going on rides' works well..

I have seen a chunk of 3/4" All-thread up about 36" from the hitch and offset out rearward about a foot. I thought this was pretty neat, as you could move it from tractor to tractor, if all you really do are tractor drives. It was double nutted on the top of the hitch, with a big square washer another one on the bottom, and a single nut with wings welded to in on the bottom, made out of 1/4" rod about 3" long each. Sign at the top was attached to a piece of flat stock welded to the top of the all-thread.

I just hang it off the seat with a piece of electric fence wire. My other WD45 has it screwed to the cab door.

Bolted mine through hole in middle back of pan seat with carriage bolt. Smooth head on top surface of seat doesn't catch on you.

I mounted mine on a twisted metal strap hanging from the back bolt inside the left fender. This puts the sign pretty low, which is OK for just the tractor but not good if you have a wagon. Which should have its own anyway. I like this spot because its out of the way.  Regards, Chris
