Chim, You forgot the turn head & close mouth steps to your "Close eyes/Squeeze trigger" method! That way only one side of your face gets burnt. Seriously, for times like that for tacks or short welds, I'll use my gloved off hand to cover the nozzle to provide some shielding to my body but still...

Or, you could keep all ur body parts and just cobble a diverter together like I did for not much $. Surplus Center valve, McMaster Carr switch and a couple hoses. The original curl hoses were a perfect fit to supply the diverter valve. New hoses needed from valve to curl cylinder. It's not a...

If it has a 4 speed tranny, the shift forks can wear to the point you and lock up the transmission. Happens when going between 1st & R if you try to shift toooo fast. Check the clutch linkage. I had the bolt heads break off the bellhousing side once and ended up driving home with no clutch...

OMG, your wife must be a saint! I'm glad to hear no tile was harmed in the filming of this weeks episode of 'What in the H3LL was Runs With Scissors Thinking'

Why not just buy the SSQA adapter off a LA344? There was a recent thread about this but, from what I remember, they both use the same loader pin locations. Regards

Don't give the B4ST4RDS any ideas!

Or, you could pull the 2 nuts from the 2 post lift closest to the vise base and add a plate on top of the post lift base bridging across to the vise base. Just another thought to keep from drilling more holes in the concrete.

Skeets, Just like "Failure" sounds so harsh. But, 'Insufficient Success' sounds so much more positive!

Probably, just Consolidated.

I went thru the same challenges as most have when I fabricobbled the cab for my BX several years ago. I decided to add the right side door because I could. Don't use it very often due to the loader valve joystick, but, still provides a quick 2nd egress if ever needed.

I have a BX2370, never knew there were removable panels when I built my cab. And, have been toooooo lazy to check now that I have everything is completed.

53woodsman, Pictures of your setup would. When I built my cab for my BX, I allowed for air intake on both sides of the cowl cover. And, added a cover to provide airflow thru the original air intake screen located below the steering wheel. This cover attaches to the cab and provides about 3/4"...

TimU, If you have access to material and a lathe, why not roll your own? These are on my BX for comparison. If diameter is prohibitive, you could also burn out rounds and laminate together to whatever thickness (weight) you desire. That option would make install/removal job easier as you...

My BX spends it's 'winter' months in our heated garage. No need for a block heater.
