Is this your own design or did you copy some one elses. I call it R&D rob and duplicate. Verry nice work.

guess that depends on what you call copying. Did I look at pictures of others yes, did I have plans, drawings, or schematics no.:confused3:

Sharp eye!! It was a quick fix to cover up a sharp edge the the hose was rubbing against, and like those kinda of things I just never got around to fancying it up

Thanks
Interesting idea, but after some quick and rough calculations it would hold less than 10 so might not be worth it.

10 what??

He was talking about sealing the boom and making it into a resevior for hydraulic oil but it would only hold 10 gallons so not worth it.
