Walkway Mounted On Deere 4040
“My brother had to use a ladder to put gas in his Deere 4040. Another problem was that the step up into the cab was too high off the ground. I fixed both problems,” says Ralph Volkman, Black Creek, Wis.
The walkway he built along the side of the tractor is 51 in. long, made from 1/4-in. thick 3 1/2 by 5-in. angle iron and Grip Strut safety tread plank. It bolts solidly to the frame of the tractor and makes it easy for him to work on the tractor.
He lowered the step up to the cab using a 6-in. piece of 2 by 3-in. rectangular tubing, which drops it lower to the ground and 12 in. of 3-in. channel iron to hold the expanded metal step.
