Cup Holder Advice

[The_Wingnut]

I have a Grand L4060 (cab type) and find the built in cup holder to be less than expected. It is so large in diameter and shallow everything I set in it falls out, such as a 16 ounce drink bottle, water bottle, tumbler etc. I will say a can drink stays put pretty good until it's less than half full. Anyone made a mod to theirs that helped? I thought about adding a different type but in this compact cab not many places to mount one.

I don't drink and drive, but why not just make a 'sleeve adapter' to fit inside the existing cup holder ?
A section of PVC or ABS might work ??

Weathertech makes a cup holder insert. Maybe that or something similar will work, or give you ideas.

I would look for a tumbler that fits snugly in it. I have the same issue with my F350, the rubber inserts are too tight for just about anything and when you pull the bottle or can out the insert comes with it. Take the insert out and they fall all over the place when driving. I found my coffee mug, which ironically says Genuine Ford Parts, fits very nicely in the holder without the insert.

When all else fails

Velcro

HOLY $$$$$HAMOLEY!
I think most of his items are very nice, but they are for people with DEEP pockets and a severe bling addiction!

Thanks for the link....unfortunately I don't have a pipe to connect it to.

Thanks for the link but it takes me to a cell phone holder.

Not sure about your specific mounting situation, but look at a gimbal mount cup holder which can be found at marine supply places.

I need to do something similar which can also hold my cell phone. I set it on top of the heater but there's nothing to hold it in place and I almost ran over it with the back tire once when it sailed out the door opening. Whoops! probably make something that incorporates a magnet mount base and an automotive squeeze mount for the phone.

Had similar problems with RV's. Used a piece of PVC pipe reducer from Lowes. Reduces the size of the hole and adds height. Cheap fix only a couple of bucks.

My mistake.
Try this one. I put it on the right side diagonal door handle/brace.

Hmm never would have thought to use stroller accessories on a tractor. My B2410 doesn't have a cup holder, so what I did was clamped one of those car door ones that clip into the window track to the ROPS. Worked OK, but was over my right shoulder. Clamping one of those stroller ones to the FEL crossbar would be ideal.

Something like one of these.

I have one of the stroller linked types. Works good!!

Thanks, I had not thought in that direction but sometimes the simple approach is the best

These all look good however, my problem is exactly opposite. The existing cup holder is way to big, but I might could glue one of these in.

I see what you are saying, should mount on that door handle. Thanks!

Thanks for all of the valued replies! Will be in the shop this afternoon measuring and experimenting with the suggestions.

I understand, but those will fit in the current spot and you can use whatever size you need, smaller or bigger.

Huh? That’s a phone holder, not a cup holder.
