Talk about bad luck...
Got the extension bracket made last week. Had to paint it of course to match ROPS grey. Then I realised that I had to grind the eyelet on the hydraulic cylinder as the bracket was just a couple mm too narrow - the eyelet barely fit into the OEM bracket.
That called for the purchase of an angle grinder

which was on sale.
FINALLY got the thing ground down, installed today spent a hour or so box blading .... yay! I really can't imagine doing this without a hydrualic top link.
Stopped to show off my cool TnT to my neighbour and noticed a leak (CaCl2 and water) coming out around the valve....argh. Tried replacing the valve core - no luck. Its the valve or tube itself.
Need service call to tire guy ASAP. It's the long weekend here and I'd really like to get some tractoring in. Tire guy's message says that he is off for the long weekend and will be back on tuesday
While whining about my bad luck to my wife, she informs me that the 600 ft fence really needs painting and she needs help in the garden and since I can't be tractoring, I might as well help her.
Not sure my luck is getting any better.
