Very nice stuff.
Indeed a great improvement in ease of operation, performance and production.

Nice 4-in-1, GARC!

Is that a HJ260 from Long? I just got a quotation: $1734 list. Ouch.

At 340 lb, it is the lightest one I have found.

Slick stuff garc. I notice you're using blue shrink connectors on your solenoid switch. A little heat there might go aways to help make those unions a bit more moisture proof while strenthening the connection.

I have the HJ2-60 from WR Long. Nice bucket. Do be careful with the grease zerks. Some of them are vulnerable to being packed with dirt. I haven't worked out a zerk cap system yet but it seems a good thing to do.

Nice setup!

Island Tractor,

How about these .... Plastic Thread Protectors: Zerk Cap

Well the price is certainly right on the zerk caps. I think they may get knocked off but if the retainer/protector ring around the zerk gets filled up with dirt before the zerk cap got knocked off it would work fine. Worth a try.

Yea,

I had a lawnmower come from the factory with the caps. Seemed to hold up well. I've been meaning to order a bunch to put on the disc, loader, etc...

The ones that were on my lawnmower were real tight and held on pretty well.
