Adding a step to make it easier to get up into the seat on a HG

[jr/w.pa]

My knee's don't bend as well as they use to when I was younger. I was wondering if anyone has a picture that they might post of a auxiliary step they might have added or possible suggestions as to where you bolt or weld a step that might allow you to more easily access the seat . I currently have 2 Oc3's and and HG that I would like to add a step if possible. Any would be appreciated .

Hi,

I share your pain so I fabricated a step from angle iron bolted to the weight support bracket on my OC3.  I use the loader frame as a hand hold getting on and off.  It also avoids having to step on the track.

Good luck.

Thank you for the picture,It gave me some great idea's. I purchased 2 sets of weights to add to my crawlers . I like the way you positioned yours and the step does not get in the way.I have the same loader and auxiliary transmisson on an OC3. You just solved my problem.I think that I will weld a carrier similar  to the one on your weights. It would be a good place to keep chains or a chain saw.
