Thats a pretty cool wagon. Any info on it?
Nothing much, just moved my 12' tandem axle dump trailer down from in front of the shop back into a lower out building. Using my home made hitch adapter on the end of my fork sure makes ultra precise positioning super easy. As a result it takes up less room in the building, I LOVE my forks accessory, and have them on more often then the bucket, having the universal quick change thingie makes it all practical.
I made that out of the undercarriage of a late 30's Westinghouse 300 amp portable welder. I bought the welder to restore as it was a rare unit but the armature was ruined so I scrapped the copper and made this heavy duty wagon for the tractor and RTV
Here's a before/after pic

Thanks. I still want to make a headache rack and removable side rails for it

Used the tractor to set 21 roof trusses with a boom pole that slides on pallet forks that a friend let me use. We started a little after 9:00 and had them all set by noon.

Hosed her down for the first time today... I know I must be going crazy! Washing a tractor? Realistically I just rinsed her and wiped down the hood / fenders.
In all seriousness, other than leaving her running and not pressure washing the electrical / engine components; anything else I should stay away from or know?

That's not crazy at all. When I was growing up on my parents farm, my dad always had us kids washing & waxing the farm tractors.http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=32232&stc=1&d=1508880846

You can pressure wash the engine if you want. Won't hurt anything as long as you stay away from the air filter inlet and the engine is running.

I have wash mine at least once a year with soap, and just spray it off when it get dirty.
If washing tractors means you're crazy I'm ready for a straight jacket. I wash mine about every time it's used especially if I'm going to work for someone else. Makes a better impression if you show up with a clean rig instead of a dirty pos.
Bulldog I was looking at an Amsoil link about grease yesterday (funny thing) and ran across their waterless washing product. Since I am betting we just had our last 75 degree day for 6mos, I was wondering how it would work for typical tractors. Have you tried it?
Sheepfarmer, I have seen it but never tried it myself. I tried a different brand years ago on my loader, it was a spray and shine type deal. It worked good on a already clean surface but that's about it.
I figure if I'm going to spend the time I'll just wash it normal.

Mary, I bought one of the waterless products especially for my tractor. It's this one: https://smile.amazon.com/Waterless-...r=1-1-spons&keywords=waterless+car+wash&psc=1
It's advertised for use on aircraft and even Airforce One. I used it on my car and I'll tell you what, I was impressed! It was highly rated, so I figured I'd see what all the hype was about. Worth it to me! Now I need to get Kubby cleaned up with it!

Not much. Fall mode before snowblower goes on, and not much dirt work to do.
Today it was a really expensive wheelbarrow, but my poor/bad back thanked me for it![emoji41]
These simple things are some of the best reasons I have this thing![emoji4]
