Even the 10 O'clock news has some of these "slow news days" every now-and-again. :laughing:

The slow news day provides an excuse to post photos of my latest project. It's a holder for the two different sized shear pins on the new snowblower.

Let's hope they remain excess baggage.

I like to always have a work towel/ rag handy for wiping my hands off.

Some years ago I bought a 3-pack of black bath towels at Kmart. Black of course doesn't show dirt/ grease etc.

To make it most handy I realized I could simply tie one around my ROPS & let it hang there. In the pic I have wrapped it up around a 2nd time for road travel, so my blinkers can be seen from front, too. Normally, though, I let the towel hang straight down to where it sits about right on the fender. The knot holds it nice & tight for wiping your hands off firmly.

(this is what I post when I have no actual project to report on )

I have a towel behind my seat and use it when I have lots of grime on my hands. However when I am tractoring I wear a pair of soiled jeans with trucker suspenders until they stand on thier own in the corner. Then I actually switch them out for another like, cleaned pair(of course I change my spenders!).
:laughing:
Most of what my hands get into I wipe on my pants. If I wore just any pair of jeans while working outside I wouldn't have any good enough for daily use.

When I get ready to head outside, I grab three things, my cap, gloves and I hang a shop rag out of my back pocket.

I never thought about it, but I do the same.

The long, narrow OEM toolbox between the fenders behind the seat is sufficient for me (for now anyway) ... & by hanging a towel from the ROPS it's always right there in front of me ready to be used without having to dig around for it with super-greasy hands :thumbsup:
