I started installing the IH NP205 my buddy gave me. On the left side, I cut the IH top mount just past the bolt holes, gave it a little 'pie cut' to remove some of the arch to get the frame mounts level instead of at a 45 degree drop.





The right side will be a cleaned up version of what you see in the pics. I took the factory IH bolt on L-brackets and welded them to the frame. The plate mount rests on top.






Everything is just tacked in for now. All of the brackets will get the rough edges cleaned up before final assembly. Cab floor clearance is not an issue.
