It'll take a lot longer to get to the Star user level title if he does that /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Since we don't have metal fenders, the now-famous "Chalkley Cup" solution doesn't work so well for us. My plan is to find an appropriate automotive or (better yet) boating cup holder and mount it to the ROPS with a hose clamp.

I've thought about putting the magnet on the side of the cup opposite the handle and sticking it to the ROPS that way. Just haven't gotten around to trying it.

Brad had the suggestion: <font color=blue>I've thought about putting the magnet on the side of the cup opposite the handle and sticking it to the ROPS that way.</font color=blue>
Another idea that could utilize the "Chalkey Cup" for us non-metallic fender types would be to epoxy magnets, in proper polar orientation, to the bottom side of the fender. Biggest problem seems to be finding a large enough area that is flat. The good looks of the Boomers leave very few flat spots.

Got my cup holder in a Walmark auto section, holds large and small cups. Get one that can be mounted using screws. Although I had to drill a couple of holes in the fender to hold it, it works real well.

I hope no one on the Green board reads this, but JD makes a real nice stick-on cupholer that can mount to any level surface on the tractor. They also make a slanted version that could go on a rounded fender or similar part. I paid about $10 bucks for mine.

Cubstuff,
Try a bike bottle holder. They come with two hole for mounting on the fron panel, just to the left of the steering column, and hold various size bike bottles. Bike bottles and water bottles have those closed type caps that yuo can pull open with your teeth, so when one hand needs to be doing business, the other can be refreshing the rest of you.
