BX25 Goodies

[CompactTractorFan]

Thanks for posting the pics of your plumbing truck setup, I am always interested in seeing the way others deal with moving the equipment, tools and parts efficiently. Seems we think alike. I use a dump trailer similar to yours, PJ14k bumper pull with slide in rear ramps. Built this truck up from scratch in 99 for plumbing service work (tan truck) and built up the red trucks for construction and pulling the backhoe and tractors. Hopefullly I will have the time to paint and refurbish these trucks in the spring.

Interesting trucks you have...Never seen toolboxes like that mounted on the body...

I kinda wish I had just added my Grapple build in this thread, if your into BX25's CLICK HERE to see my Grapple Build Up . Were getting very serious on finishing the grapple, my new Fasse 12 Volt Diverter valve is "in the mail", we have tracking! T-Minus Nebraska and counting!

Artisan,

What is the chain saw holder made of? As I work in my foreset I could use something like that. It appears you made the insert of wood so that part should be easy as I could use the router to make the bar recess. Is the container plastic or steel?

Ron it is a piece of 4x6 wood! I just clamped it into a vise, fired up the
chainsaw and plunge cut a slot. BE VERY CAREFUL if you try that, it is
a dangerous job, do not try this at home! :laughing:

Thanks, I think my router idea is safer. I would use two 2X6 and glue and screw together. Excellent idea though, new project on top of the 10 I am already working on. I finally figured out the best way to do those bushings for my FEL project. I ordered some shaft couplings on Amazon.com. They are CR steel same as the CR safting pins. Thanks for those ifdeas though also. Amazing what you can find on amazon. How is the plumbing business going?
