Picture 5: Front cab corner closeup
The cab sheetmetal slips between the dash mount and the back of the hood and side panels. The two shiny metal buttons near the bottom fasten this piece to the plates shown in picture 3.

Picture 12: Rear subframe mount closeup
The subframe hangs from the 3-point lower cross bar in the rear and a pin drops through the original rear hitch hole. The hose to the right is the suction line to the PTO driven pump.

Picture 13: Pickup and trailer
The trailer is 16 ft X 102 wide, 8000 gross. Because of the 2210s small diameter tires, I had to weld additional angle iron cross bars in between each of the originals on the loading ramps.

Picture 14: Vacuum Collector
Homemade unit is PTO driven. Belt drive runs blower at ~3500 RPM.
The trailer shows it age, dating back to the early 60 foot s when it was originally was for a 7 HP walk-behind Simplicity tractor.

Picture 15: Mower deck lift
This shows fabricated linkage used to lift the mower deck. This allows me to attach the PTO driven vacuum without interference from the original 3-point hitch arms.
