Re: Repost; The last straw
Those pictures remind me of Pappazians's "Joy of Homebrewing" books. In every picture in the book's, there is a mug of homebrew. Even when the picture was not about the tractor, it was still in the background /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Larry, better late than never to thank you for detailing your storage box project. I'm going to hang a box or other container on this JD4200 w/420fel to tote chain, fasteners, graspers, screwers, small flash-lighter, loud HELP-ME whistler (the Roy Gonia, marine signal whistle is impressive!), a bit of bailing wire fixer...16-18 ga., an all-purpose pair of fencing pliers, a well-thought-out kit to avoid: "HEY, How am I going to stop this slash from being the 'outlet of no return?" (a fairly compact First-Aid Kit)..." I wonder if my wind-pipe will clamp shut, from that hornet sting/bite, before I get to a doc?! A feller ought to carry high proof insectizoid repellent(>90% deet would be adequate...might melt your lexan polycarbonate safety glasses though!) , an xtra key to the afor referenced tractor, a few hose clamps that could be tightened with the barrel of the 4-way screwdriver, already onboard with 'screwing things'; included with the hose clamps, there will be compressible-fuel-resistent patches of neoprene or patch-specific material that might be handy when a fuel or shagnasty middle-distillate fluid tries to depart its designated containment.
Etcetera ad nauseam...it would also be nice if I shut-up.
The ROPS looks like the location of necessity for a box mount on my JD 4200. I believe creative fabrication and K.I.S.S. protocol will be the order of the day. Hope there's enough oxy-argon and .035" solid wire on the Hobart! I've got three days to get the JD 4200, a JD 600 AMT (Gator), and two rolling stockers of the flat-bed and horse hauler persuasion, respectively, into a fleet of user-friendly tools, at the ready, to provide the services to horse-people who know that Lazy K Stables can do it!
I'm glad my co-chairwoman-of-the-board, my wife of 35 years this Sunday, quietly said, "What the hell are you doing... working on that tool kit for your tractor??!!" OK, I know I could deflect this subtle and timid questioning re: priorities. OK, she knows who's who
when it comes to really being the BOSS. So, I'll just humor her, just patronize her while she threatens to open-fire with her Colt Python(now locked and cocked with .357 hydra-shok, rose-bud,
AIDS-infected, Black-Talon, one-shot-stop ordinance...), firing for effect on my JD 4200 and
26'Bayliner Trophy (to-dream-for) Salmon Slayer boat! OK! I'm leaving for L.A. soon. I won't be here to do the re-build on the waterwell house structure and installation of new pressure tanks, plumbing and down-hole pump, controls, etc.
OK! tractor-people-extraordinairae...I'm being a little factitious. The only priority my wife, Sandee, and I have, right now, IS :
Do what you can with what you've got to fortify the well-being of your Family. There is no stronger element within the matrix of human dynamic that
holds more promise of fulfillment than the sincerely dedicated interaction of a mutually trusting family.
I and members of my Family know this. You-all know this too; if not, try it. In any quantity of effort you can't lose.
No apologies for this Lazy K speech

Chip,
I'm thinking of severing all familie-ties, in an effort to simplify my life,...and spend all my energy pleasing myself. This will also permit me to put all my financial resources into buying toys, so that I can die "with the most", and WIN!! /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
You beat-around-the-bush so much in your last post, that I'm confused... do you think this is a good idea or what??

Very nice! Almost good enough to convince me to buy a FEL so I can try it myself. I'm curious about the 3/8" quick release clevis pin you used. Where do you get them? Can you use them in load bearing situations? I'm thinking about using them for the rear stabilizers on my tractor (they are the rectangular bar within a tube type and the cotter pin is a pain to get remove and replace).

When I used to do alot of sailing I used quick release pins. Any good sailing supply would have them or could get them. The only problem they were stainless and are costly. You might look at this link for information http://www.marinepins.com/

Will, I found the clevis pins (they are actually called quick release pins) at a swap meet (Pomona, CA), but I've also located them at some industrial supply stores like McMaster Carr http://www.mcmaster.com/. They are also used in marine applications. I paid like $2 for them, at the supply places, they are more like $15. I bought them specifically for the rear stabilizers since, like you mentioned, the original cotter pin deal was too big a pain. I even bought a big one and use it for my top link. Yes, they work fine for load bearing use and they have made my life much easier. They are made of stainless steel. Fortunately I bought a few extras. The attached photo shows one of the large ones which are indentical to the smaller ones. I like my toolbox so much that I'm going to add a second one to the other side. The ammo box works great since it is tough and has a seal on the lid.

LarryS...Sorry you mistook subtle facetiousness and obvious exaggeration (for the purpose of emphasis)
as '...beating around the bush'!
To answer your question about what I thought of your idea, " It sucks." Clear enough for you?

Now I AM confused /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif!
I was just "funnin' ya" Chip (or tryin' to anyway).
I thought you were serious (about the family stuff), ... and I thought you were right! Probably should just shut-up and try again next time.

(I guess you "got me" this time, because I can't tell if you thought I was serious, or if you're simply seein' my card and "raisin' me one"!)
