    BX23 3-Point Gauge

    Here's how I did it on my BX23S.

    I'm at a point in my life, thinking back. Back in the day when places of business of which I supported, would do things for their customers of 3-4 decades, without my feeling HOSED. Aggressively fondled, I would shrug off. Now a day, most all business's are about money. Loyalty of customers past...

    All the suggestions and recommendations to better performance, kinda reminds me of my dad, having that "talk" with me when I first started dating. He began with....use a rubber. His closing comment...the door closed. Thanks, Dad? Too many choices. I want what does the job. I'd like to...

    ROP Bar - Light Mounts

    That's the thing with a FEL tractor, all the lights look good when it's not in use.

    That's creative. Your pump looks like the one on my 30 gallon Campbell Hausfeld. My dad bought it new back in the early 80's. I drug it out from under the bench today and cleaned it all up. I changed the oil and installed a new factory filter. Another option with the Plasma Cutter.

    Figures, I may have been interested in that one. Not now.

    Connect chains to the very most bottom of the ROP. Heavy turnbuckles in that chain-length would be a plus.

    ROP Bar - Light Mounts

    I've thought about adding lights to a cross-bar that gets mounted to (spanning across) the FEL arms. That might work nicely.

    Having this surplus of metal I brought home, projects are waiting, and all I have are cut-off wheels. That's a slow process. Today I ordered a LOTOS LTP5000D Plasma Cutter and a 77pc "consumables kit". I also got a "Y" splitter so I can have the MIG and Plasma Cutter plugged-in and ready for...

    ROP Bar - Light Mounts

    In my experience off-roading, most I see when out at night, most have their lighting in all the wrong places...for looks. Light dispersal is based on reflector design. Most aftermarket LED lighting (even replacement LED headlight bulbs), the beam is fractured. As an example, when driving at...

    Burn barrel fun....................Just fell in love with some new angle grinder disks.

    The Gouge Tips, I've searched and searched. I find nothing compatible.

    ROP Bar - Light Mounts

    I'm going to give it a try with two on the ROP Bar, first. If they work as I expect for high visibility on the hoe, I'll stick with those facing back. Then I'll approach making new mounts. In the case of that, I'll make mounts to which I mount two lights (forward & rear ward back-to-back) on...

    Burn barrel fun....................Just fell in love with some new angle grinder disks.

    I'm on Amazon about to order a Plasma Cutter and 77-Piece Consumables Kit. What gouging tips for the LOTOS LTP5000D?

    Diesel Transfer Tank Build

    I did consider GF. The problem is it would need to be stationary, and a solid stand. I don't have the space. I know my transfer tank is more elaborate than what's necessary. I like to keep my mental juices flowing. If my creation doesn't fit the bill, I'll rethink things and go at things another...

    Diesel Transfer Tank Build

    Since I got a bunch of angle iron and the eyebolts, I decided to get more done on my transfer tank. I built a lifting cradle. The eye-bolts really pulled my project together. I'll lag bolt the cradle to the timbers, and 45° cut the metal corners so no ankles get zapped. I need to have my...

    ROP Bar - Light Mounts

    The two existing holes near the top. I'm also planning to attach the roof frame to the same mounts.

    Another Metal Recycler Visit/Score

    Cut them to length and weld as tie-down points on trailers were my first thought. Or weld full length to outside of frame. Eyes (on a piece of plate) bolted to tractors, lifting eyes on implements/attachments, and my 50 gallon fuel tank cradle.

    BX23S, Redline SSQA Fork set [Modification?]

    Due to the design, I can't add the tabs easily where they make the most sense. They'll be right in the middle of the plate face. A carry-all was the plan. If I dont come up with a simple way, I'll probably just add the ears and toplink mod to the trailer box I plan to use.

    I also would think the extension cord(s) is the issue.
