CUT Cup holder

[wvhillbilly]

Hey ya'll,
It hit me like a ton of bricks while out in the barn today. All summer long I have been on a quest for the perfect cup holder for my CUT. As I was cleaning out my barn, I uncovered my old mountain bike from my earlier "in-shape" days and there it was, staring back at me. So, for all you who may be on the same quest as I was, Go to your local bike shop and buy one of those wire cage bottle holders. It works great. They will (or at least mine does) hold a 16 ounce coke bottle perfectly...

I like it.

Simple, easy, cheap, adaptable to different liquids.

What more can you ask. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Here is another inexpensive option that you can easily modify to fit just about any bottle made click here

This was my solution. See attachment. Gerard

Here is what I did. I made mine magnetic so I could easily move it to the other tractor, or take it off when I want to.

I used one of those cheap stainless steel magnetic trays. The ring magnet on the bottom of the tray provided a place to drill a hole, and let me attach a wooden disk to the tray with one screw. I attached a piece of 4” PVC pipe to the wood disk, and put a piece of rigid foam insulation in to help keep things cool.

A second piece of pipe (had a piece with the expanded end on it laying around) slips over the base piece, gives me the option to have a shorter holder in the future is I should desire to. Doubt I will want to though.

This photo has a second parts tray sitting on the concrete block, showing the starting point. Actually I think it was holding a screwdriver bit.

It sticks to the fender real well, but I suppose a branch could strip it off. I have not had any problems along those lines though. Water bottle is 1 liter in size. Nice amount and stays cool for a rather long time on a hot day. Of course, on a hot, thirsty day, the water does not stay in the bottle very long!

It will fit on either side, but I generally keep it on the left, as the position control lever is on the right.

I posted a couple of pictures of the cup holder I built for my B7510 to cup holder/brush guard this morning.

Gerald you beat me to the punch on that one. There have been many times while working with my backhoe that I really wished there was some way to hold a drink to quench the thirst. If I set it down by my feet sooner or later I always knock it over before I get a chance to drink. So I guess that will be one more winter project right after I convert my manual rotating chute on my snow-blower to a hydraulic motor. Thanks for the idea. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
