coffee cup holder

[Billrog]

This is the third cup hold I've made for equipment and I think this one turned out the best. I used a ABS coupler.






After installing it I went up the mt. for a bucket of fire wood and it held and worked great with easy access. I've considered buying one in the past but never found any that weren't just flimsy plastic.

Good ole American ingenuity... Only thing I see wrong is if it happens to splash the fallout could land on your dash.

Great job and ingenuity! My NH has a round grab bar on the right side of the panel and I found a cup/mug holder that clamps onto the bar and works great. It is designed to fit a motorcycle handle bar and is sold on motorcycle accessories sites and I believe EBay.

Skip the rods on the bottom. It can't go through anyway. Handle stops it.

At last, a thread about something dear to my heart. Good job, Bill.

My 30 year old Ford tractor didn't have a cup holder when I bought it. First modification I completed.

Thank you all for the compliments . In the spring if I figure out a way to mount it on the fender that isn't Micky mouse I'll post a pick. For the cup it would work with no bottom but necessary for cans of refreshment. I'm going to check out the motor cycle accessory one it may work for my backhoe which has one in a very inconvenient place as well as the forklift.

These work pretty well. Swivels 2 ways so your drink always stays vertical.

That's a nice job! I just use an old can with a big enough diameter to hold my wrapped seltzer can. I drill holes in the bottom for drainage and tie wire it on. In my case, to the ROPS and fender grab rail.

Great idea! I'm going to use it to make a cup holder for my 961.

I don't use the rear window washer on my NH T4.75 so I could extend the tube from the interior ceiling, fill the reservoir with sweetened ice tea and just flip the switch with the tube extension in my mouth!

I guess I'm just low tech. I used a piece of 6 inch PVC that I capped. Drilled holes for the water to drain and a couple along the side to run zip ties through. Just zip tied it to the ROPS.

I guess my real question is having a JD 445 with plow and broom, A JD 3520 with back blade and blower, An ASV 30 that I use in a business for snow removel How do any of you find time to drink a cup of coffee or need a holder " being nice" for a can of pop

When we were kids we used to mount two washer pumps in the trunk of the car and run the line up to the console hid a Micky and a bottle of mix in the trunk, worked great at the drive inn. They always searched the car but could never find any booze, if they did it was taken !! Lol

I found that in the fishing isle of the sporting goods store, Academy, they have all sorts of holders for drinks. I picked one that holds two drinks and has a storage compartment in the middle big enough to hold my phone, chapstick and a snack. I bolted it to the top of my fender where it's easy to get to. Cost was about ten bucks and it took five minutes to install.

They go by namebrand Fernco. PVC or ABS.
