Upgraded Ballast Box / saw and gear carrier

[rc51stierhoff]

Good day. Recently I parted ways with a ballast box I had had since I got a BX(I traded to a B a several years back) The original box was not compatible with Pats Easy change that I recently put on the B. so I added this one (which will haul more weight ). Today I finally got around to adding saw and kit holder on top….all from miscellaneous scrap lumber I had in the shop. Top box is easy on / off . Need to add a little outdoor stain and she will be good to go for a walk in the woods.

The ‘Ducks Back’ Stain is dry…my target was reuse (use leftovers / repurpose from other projects)for all stock, fasteners, and stain. Unfortunately that meant the color code is ‘fugly’… could not think of a better name…it truly looks awful paired with the orange machine and black box. But I could not come to terms with throwing out usable stain (valspar name for the ‘ducks back’ stain…it’s decent and was leftover).

The box is nice, but the pup in the photo is really nice! Really steals the shot!

Actually I have done a lot of that to my Kubota ballast box, and prefer to keep the BB over a QH. So The brand new Speeco cat 1 QH is now for sale on Craigslist and FB Mktplace. Your box looks great and I am big into mods.....
