Cup Holder

nitroxn · Jun 28, 2004

4" PVC drain pipe with 1.5 x 1/8 aluminum flat bar bottom. Wont fill up if rained on also works with big cups or coozies.

nitroxn, Great idea. How did you mount it on you tractor?

Looks good. I mounted a double gymbal holder designed for a boat on my IH right fender. Works great. I had glued rubber magnetic strips on the bottom of a snuggie to stick to the hood but jarring sometimes slopped beverage out on the hood /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Mounted it or the back side of the tower brace on my FEL. Its a little out of reach, but way better than going back to house or truck for a drink.

Nice work..... Although you are a bit late /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. I finally gave up trying to figure out where to mount a cup holder last week and ordered the magnetic one. If you had only posted this a week earlier! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Seriously, all your mods look real nice. Keep your ideas coming.

Thanks,
Greg

I have also made a cooler bracket that fits on the rear weight bracket on my tractor. When I go out I usually stay all day, take some beenee weenies, etc to warm up on the engine.

Hey! a new idea. A tractor manifold cookbook, whatcha think ?
Well maybe not, but many people I know have been warming food on their tractor engines for many years.

As long as you dont bring fish for lunch the manifold thing would be ok. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Can't remember where, but i saw a picture that showed the hood up on car and the owner had rigged up a cooker that was plumbed into the exhaust so that the hott exhaust gasses circulated around a chamber that had a cooking pot in it. They cooked all kinds of things in it.

Don't know about fish though /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That is a great idea! I can duplicate that on my 7610 no problem. I even have some white 4" drain pipe available.

Manifold cooking made the rounds in the car hobby several years ago. The consensus was that hot dogs wrapped in foil were nicely warmed in/on the top valley of the cylinder heads & intake manifold of V8 engines. Laying 'em on the exhaust manifold scorched the breads if left there very long. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif The top of the engine stayed nice and warm but doesn't scorch what ever you're cooking. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Now, to check where a hot dog could lay on the Kubota engine top without falling off. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Pardon my ignorance, but what's a 'beenee weenie'??

( what's a 'beenee weenie' )

I thought everyone carried beanie weenies on fishing and camping trips. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Usually come in small pop top cans (no opener needed), same beans as in pork and beans, but with chunks of weiners in it, and good hot or cold.

PineRidge · Jul 9, 2004

Well Bird you got me on that one too. I never even heard of beanie weenies and I have been fishing many, many times.

I think I've seen something like that on 'Handyman Corner' on The Red Green Show. "Just remember...If the women don't find you handsome they should at least find you handy." /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Me to Bird. They have been around for as long as I can remember. Maybe they are just a southern thing. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Beenie Weenies. Take off your hat when you talk about this. My dad introduced me to those about 30 years ago or more. But then, he made them himself. It was years later that I found them ready made in cans. Great to take anywhere and like Bird said, good hot or cold. Don't leave home without 'em. John

Beenie Weenies is a new one on this yankee.

Best to drive ALONE that day methinks.

Same here. I have had hot dogs in beans, but I didn't know you could buy them this way complete with the pop-top lid.

MaineGuy · Jul 12, 2004

Hey Guys, I just couldn't stay out of this one any longer. I was born in Kentucky and I also grew up on Beanie Weenies. But, my wife (born in Ohio) had never heard of them untill we met. She loves them now. We moved to Maine and have introduced Beanie Weenies to the neighbors, One of them has nick named my wife Beanie Weenie. She bakes them with the molasses, brown sugar and onions. Mmmm Good.
