Ho GordoSD: Yea.. nice going. My cousin attached a one inch pole to tractor front end so that it hung over the hay to be cut. He attached several lite chains hanging down with colored streamers attached so the sitting birds would be flushed out of the uncut hay. This also gave him just enough time to quickly stop or lift the mower. He claimed to have saved quite a few birds with his home made device. I'd add a couple tin cans to the chains to make noise right above the nest. When spraying I did not have a choice in dodging any birds. I hated hitting a bird with the end of the prop as the shock wave could require restoring "trueness" to the prop. $$ The big fear was having a big Buck deer jump up right in front of the prop... That's heavy meat & bones. I had a jack rabbit get so scared he jumped straight up and he got hit right on the leading edge of my wing. About a 3 inch wide & deep dent but it was easy to pop back out later on. ag

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
