Here's a picture from awhile back that shows it pretty well. Let me know if you want more and I can take some.

Great picture Matt. Thanks for posting it. I could see how that lends a lot of rigidity to the set up. Might have to think about one of those for my 2072 as it has a lot of weight on it with #100 of wheel weights on each side, snow blower, and hard cab.

Yeah, I thought it was a good idea, too. Should eliminate any future issues with the forward rearend mounts. I put a 3-point on this tractor and plan on using it, so I figured I better do this as to avoid having to replace the transaxle front case later on.

In other news, 3-point is finally on. Just need to get the anti-sway chains cut to length. Also made an adapter to allow me to continue to use my sleeve hitch attachments.

Hmmmmm would be very interested in seeing more pics of your firewall mods as well as that oil cooler mounting and intake.
What model did you get the Command out of?
