Welding finished. In paint shop, outside in the driveway. Husqvarna orange from Lowe’s matches Kubota pretty good. Just takes forever for paint to harden in this weather.

I always struggle with this too. Patience will pay off. Let it sit for a day or more if needed.

My paint job is bad, big orange bad! The weather and my skills are a major contributor to the quality. It is my first time using this Rust-oleum product. It is half the cost of Kubota brand which I have used before. To be fair I regularly use rust-oleum high performance paints and other colors for projects with good results.

Problem with runs, long hardening time and most troublesome is the wrinkling. Gets worse with additional coats.
Probably should have used a primer with this paint.
Too many other projects repaint now. Last paint applied three days ago and still needs a few days to get harder before installing.

Mounted today. No modifications to tractor and bolted on with 5 bolts. By slightly tilting the six inch tube back can accommodate the chainsaw either above or behind the tube. Thanks dieselcrawler for the input. Helps carry the saw inside the ROPS without encroaching on the operator area. IMG_1400.JPGIMG_1401.JPG

No need to thank me, but appreciate the recognition. I always welcome input from others, as 2 (or more) open-minded brains are better than one to bring ideas to the table.

Your project turned out nicely, I'm sure it will serve you well for years to come... if the paint ever dries!

Holds everything well. Most of the time will just be couple of chains and sometimes the saw. Tool inventory will change to match the job. Much safer way to carry tools while working with the tractor.

Mines not as fancy but it holds my saw and I won't dump it out of the bucket (again).

Nice build! Like bolt on attachments. Better paint job than mine.

Anyone who has carried tools, chain, fencing or anything in their bucket will eventually experience some sort of mishap. Usually more than once.
