What have you done to your Branson today?

Oh man Lou, I was cringing when reading your post. I thought for sure it was going to be a window.

Where did you find the P/N for the hinges, and where are you ordering them from? Your local dealer?

Not much of a task really, but used mine yesterday as a lawnmower "ambulance" when my riding mower died behind the house.

Used it to carry the rider around into the garage to "fix".

Turned out it was just a stuck carb linkage, but had to take the engine cover off to see it.

I have a 3 point post hole digger that if I lift all the way will surely break the rear window if it is open. Haven't done it yet, but like K5, it is an expensive accident just waiting to happen.

I have the parts catalog in a pdf for the 8050 and looked up the parts number and gave them to the parts guy at my local dealer. They should be here in 10 days to 2 weeks a bit over $40 for the two little straps, but not knowing how much of an offset they had originally straightening them would be guessing game. I may straighten the originals when I have the new ones to have as spares, so I'll never need them again.

Picked up a set of 6600 # Express Steel pallet forks Wednesday.
Took my new pallet forks out for a spin today and used them as a barb wire roll carrier.

I rigged up spool carrier for the 3ph that I use for a variety of unrolling tasks. Most commonly I spool out single-strand or dual-strand fence wire, though I've also used it for electrical wire (in this case, 500' of 4/0 when I put in a ground mount solar array) -

basically it's a piece of pipe with hitch pins welded to the end, and a couple pieces of PVC pipe as bushings for spacers. I have a smaller version which is basically just a wood dowel with holes in the ends that I use for smaller spools
