Has anyone relocated the battery up front on b7200?

My gear drive B7200 has the battery in front of the radiator. I assumed the HST oil cooler was now in this location. Do you have room with the cooler?

The tractor certainly could use the extra weight up front.

Clearing the present battery location would free up space for a hydraulics addition.

Just looking for good ideas and "gottcha's". '=_

Have a good friend with a B7100 HST from the early 1980's.

He has his battery in a marine battery box in front of the tractor.

He built a simple metal frame to support the battery and prevent him from bashing it against a tree. He really likes it in the convenient location and his choices for batteries are much much greater and thus cheaper.
