My buddy has a sign shop and does graphics on vehicles. I was thinking of having him make some custom decals for my BX. I really thing the factory stuff is kind of bland. What do you guys think of this idea? I can get it done for cost. Thanks.

I just posted pictures on wrencher's post in this section (chainsaw carrier) of the lettering my wife did.
I think I will steal your tool box idea if you don't care. Also how did you secure your chain PVC pipe and what is that screw type plastic one on the ROPS?

120,, I'll get you some close up pictures of the chain tube. Someone here posted a site that had those screw cap canisters. I'll see if I still have the reciept.

Hokie, do you keep a cover on that to keep water out?

I do not, the amount of water that could get in the there is very small, I do not tighten the clean out top tight either, sometimes that plastic is a beeaauuuch to undo without a wrench. It is parked in a shed too. I really do not think the water would be a problem, the chains that are in it are already seasoned if you know what I mean!:D The clean out and tops were the worst part $$ wise, the long straps I got from lowes too, painted the straps first, then installed. The straps will break if the bucket is used in a harsh way, seems to strain the straps. But overall it is a simple design.

"keep the water out" That's why I went with the slip on cap. You do have to open the inside of the cap some or it will stick and be hard to get off. I took a course flapper wheel on a drill and removed enough so it just slides down and stops on the lip. Next time I remove the fel, I'll take a picture of the brackett that holds the tube on. I can remove the fel and the tube stays on the tractor.
