Something else you can do is what i have added to my digget em15. I add a 7 gallon external gas tank. On the ht10b i had i took back black cover off to change oil. And extended exhaust pipe. You could make back panel hinged. Will need to cut around counter weight. Then it be easier to get into

Where did you find the steering handle extensions?

I love these little machines and that is a cool frame brace, nice work. I put on a hyd filter and cooler and I plan to put a magnetic oil plug on one side with drain extension on the other side. that is mainly due to the mess and that the engines don't have filters. I'm using air convection with a positive pressure engine bay. the cooler pulls cool air over the cooler and into the engine bay at the right bottom and I've put two fans pulling in on the left side. these blow over the pump and engine to increase heat dissipation and then all the air exits with the hot exhaust out the rear so the exhaust doesn't get sucked into the engine bay

That's awesome. I still wanna add a hydro cooler and filter, and the longer oil drain hose at some point.

@@NaterTater01 its a fun project to mod and get some useful work out of around the farm.. I forgot, I also added thumb quick connects using ISO-A 3/8. to make it easier to have a thumb and tilt bucket. I can feel the hyd cooler pulling cool air and cooling the fluid but I had to weld a custom mounting frame for it, good project. its hard finding the hyd connections, FYI they are metric DIN light - measure thread diameter for mm size. have fun!

You should have hinged the back panel so you can get to the engine without having to disassemble everything.

Great idea! There's so much you can do with these little machines.

@NaterTater01 you can't hinge the rear panel on H12s because of the counter weight overlap. that works on some of the other machine designs. particularly the ones that don't have counter weights like DLK 12 machines and similar copies of that one. there is also a significan't design difference. some machines like DLK have an internal frame that support the seat so the side and rear panels are not structural. the H12 doesn't have this extra internal frame that takes up space. the rear and side panels are structural so they can't be hinged.

@@derekdal5185 I must respectfully agree and disagree. These machines cannot be hinged on one side but the can have toggle latches installed on both sides. That little trick moving the counterweight back was pretty cool. While it is sad that you must loosen all the bolts for the topside pieces next to the seats it is still easier to do that, loosen the latches on the sides and remove the back piece than to have to almost crawl into the engine compartment on your head to undo the 6 bolts holding the back piece on.

@@richardbrookins5406 I guess you're not disagreeing at all. "these units can't be hinged", true and you agree. maybe better communication is in order or just don't open with disagree and offer a different viable suggestion.

A nice video, thanks. My Hightop HT10 has the same body and very similar counterweight. Your video give me confidence to go ahead and take mine off so I can do some more mods. Thanks! @diggerdavesea
