There are already several mount points on the body but I will have to fabricate some bits too.

Is the body suitable for four point mounting? It’s a lot of weight on four mounts, and a lot of point loading.
The Bredal has two mounts at the back and two at the front as well as a full width beam across the front too.
No. Just on the mounting points.
If it needed load bearing along the full length then a Xerion wouldn't be a good match at all unless I made a full length sub frame which would then make everything higher.

Haven’t you finished yet??????
Don’t you start.
Just remember who is stretching out on a beach when he should be mowing and taking advantage of the good weather.
I believe (not 100% though ) that it’s a legal obligation for a dealer to supply machines with a manual ?
Im not sure if it states it is to be in your native language though!
Right. Progress. But not much. Didn’t bother with pics as it’s basically what we did with Xerion A
All rear linkage off, front link extensions off. Keeping the front links on to mount a tool box. Thinking that could be handy. Links down for driving, links up, stand on the tool box for cleaning windscreen.
Had a measure up of the body, should have got a pic here, the Xerion already had four 80mm ball couplings to mount onto so I’m going to get the female bits and use those. Might save some welding and cutting of steel and look smarter.
It also has an 80mm Scharmuller ball drawbar so I’m thinking of getting the cup for my trailer. Might be getting ahead of myself here though.
I obviously have miracle hands. Seat wasn’t working, which I was a bit peaved about, but miraculously it’s all going again. Luxury.
Radio doesn’t work though. Never mind, if that’s the biggest problem I’ll be lucky.
Forgot, it wasn’t the biggest problem.
Took a guard off and found a very worn gearbox mount. Bugger. Double bugger, same on the other side, both rears knackered. Well, half knackered. Took them off, turned them round, fitted back. Better but not perfect. Massive job to completely replace. Order parts sometime, job for winter.
Again, if that’s the biggest problem I’ll be lucky.
Might start getting Mdrive bits off next.
