Some of these clamps and plugs are temporary for the time being. More pix, Fred

I would be willing to bet that there are thousands watching that have not posted. Everyone wants to see how this turns out.

I will wait on hacking the side panel for sure; great advice. Sometimes it's a good idea to back things off and think about them. I wake up in the middle of the night and a new idea pops into my head pertaining to a problem area. Thanks for the side panel shots, they helped a bunch.

My side panel will get pushed out 1.75 inches with the cooler setup, foam won't work.

My snowblower does not throw snow that far like yours, that's another thread, speaking of the snow that piled up here yesterday waiting to be blown over the bank.......thanks!

If you end up destroying the panel, the one for the other side (right) of my 4240 was $156.27 from Messicks. I'm sure the left side is close to that. It comes painted by the way.

. . . Last time I painted a car in the yard I spent 4 hours buffing the mosquitos out of it the next morning

That cracked me up. Sounds like something I would do.

Right. I noticed the naysayers are starting to be outnumbered by us Fred fans. I appreciate the work of the entrepreneurial members on this forum.

I'm one of those. I don't have anything to contribute, but I'm fascinated by the process. I can't decide if it's like watching a train wreck or a great invention in the works. I guess time will tell.

I don't have the knowledge or tenacity to attempt something like this, and I admire Fred for having both.
