Some things they just cannot mess up on - magnets, zip ties, etc.

I tell you what though, I bought their 1.5 HP Dust Collector (Woodworking) then added a top Wynn Environmental canister filter and plastic bottom bag (replacing both cloth bags) - recommendation from the woodnet forum. It works great on my planer, jointer, cabinet saw, etc. It is like finding a diamond in the rough though. Probably good that the store is 28 miles away. They have alot of the same tools as TSC, only much cheaper.

BTW - Jeff, new dolly is now in the shop. Thanks again for that idea.

I had to modify my TSC Carry All to fit the I-Match. Added 2 Ears to attach the lower pins & bushings, then painted it a nice color of green.

"junk" has its place. As I have always heard -- You can buy an awful lot of Timex watches for the price of a Rolex!!!!!!

Just depends on the functional needs.

<font color="green">I agree. I am in fact a HF customer. Can't beat their price on welding angle magnets for example or sanding blocks.

Bought a very inexpensive angle grinder from a similar sort of company not too long ago and got what I paid for - it lasted all of 10 minutes. In that case buying a new grinder for every 10 minutes would not be as cost effective as buying a more expensive grinder.

I hadn't thought about a dolly for equipment, but made one for my table saw for about $10 using left over pieces of wood and some casters from the local hardware. Same stuff would work for the front of my bush hog, I think. Thanks, guys!

Besides the ballast box, I also use the dollies for the front mounted snowblower and the mid mount mower deck. 2 dollies under each. It makes it so much easier to move them around the garage.

Will try to upload pictures tomorrow. It's time to take my mid mount mower off so I'll take some pictures of the carry all.
The modification "or ears" are two more of the same pieces of steel that are holding the lower pins that are welded on higher. you loose some lift height but at least it attaches to the I Match.

Hoping this works. Attached should be a picture of the lower pins. The original attachment points are still there
