| How do you secure the latches that hold the grill on a 100 series tractor? I've seen it on here before, but never saved it. Thanks for the help. rrhead(SD) |

They're adjustable. I've never had one fall off but I run a wire or one of those real light chains, the ones with the flat links about a 1/4" long each and are usually gold colored. Anyway, run the chain through the grill screen then to the air cleaner bracket so if it falls off you won't drive over it. This one has the chain and it's unnoticeable.  ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

| I was bringing our 180 home backed on the trailer when some crazy woman was trying to get my attention, said that a piece of the tractor fell off and was on the road, long story but there was only a couple scratches and all is well but we will put some security on the grill!! |

| I make small plate with 1/4 in nuts welded on and drill 1/4 holes and bolt them after we squashed one with the 200 and loader. |
