New B3030 Cup Holder

vic4news · 05-05-2008, 09:38 AM

The cup holder on the B3030 is behind the seat .

This location is great for keeping you back muscles loose since you need to pivot your body to reach it.

However, I sometimes I just want a drink instead of a stretching routine,
so I mounted a new one on the right fender.

I had a 4" pvc drain pipe coupling left over from installing new drain pipe from the day before.

I just cut a notch for the cup handle, and a triangle shaped notch in the bottom so it fit against the handrail on the fender.
I painted it black and attached it with one screw into the side of the plastic lever housing. The lever housing has thick plastic areas for the fender screws, so I attached it in one of these areas.

I'll be trying it out tomorrow morning.

For the other side, I think I'll weld something up out of steel rod. Should look better and be fun to make.

thats exactly what kubota should have done. nice.

I made a second cup holder for the other fender. This one attaches using one of the studs in the handrail. No modifications to the tractor needed.

I used 1/8" rod and a piece of flat plate.

Great idea ! Agreed, the factory cup holder is better suited to hold odds and ends. I like the idea of a more convenient and comfortable beer holder (as i prefer to call them).

Mine has a built-in cup holder in the right fender just before the fender turns down. You can kinda see it in this pic.

I see that you use your ROPS as a towel rack also... Thought it was only me!
