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.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
