Doug,
Wow! Quick reply, thanks so much. I should be able to fab something up that will work similar to what is shown. Won't be factory, but I'm only trying to make this a dependable working machine (and minimize as many rattles as I can). With that in mind, what keeps the bottom front of the side panels from rattling against the frame rails? I see there is only the back wingnut and front spring to hold the panels in place??? Is it just pressure against the rubber weatherstripping on the "heat baffle" (IH-106501-C94) that dampens this movement? I've never heard this thing run so I'm guessing at what I think should be, or what makes reasonable sense (this is my first Quietline involvement). I have a 127 with a tiller (and spring assist) but the hyd lift spoke to me! Hope I like the 1450 as much as I like the narrow frame for the simplicity.
Here's a few pics of before and progress to a week ago:
