Today I finished assembly of my fuel bbl by getting a water separator on it. In the past I used cans which is a hassle....as I am always out. I can place this bbl on a trailer and drive a few miles to fill it. Seems I was always out of fuel when I wanted to work in time gone by.

There is about a five inch tube on my loader where you step up into the cab. I saw an easy mod on some farm website that allowed me to make a simple tool box out of this tube. I may stick a short chain in there as I’m tired of having it under my feet in the cab. Works really slick and it cost just a few dollars to make.

How can you fix something without a hammer?

Farmers pile all the tools on the cab floor!

What did you use to cap the tube?

What did you use to cap the tube? Menards has a "pressure test cap" that can be used with pluming systems. It only cost a few bucks. It has an expanding fitting that is expanded when the screw is turned. I found that a small section of plastic tube perfectly fit the tube in the loader frame with a glued-on cap on the back end. (I used my belt sander to make the plastic parts fit snugly....and they are basically press fit into the loader tube frame with a bit of persuasion by a hammer) Very secure and dust and water tight! I think I have $14 invested in this little "tool box". Pretty cheap storage space if you need lotsa stuff with you. Been wondering how your might grade my welding with a stick welder. I thought I did pretty well.... and ground off any rough areas before prime and paint. Not bad for an old senior citizen with limited tools....eh? .

Ok so now I had to go back and zoom in on the guard. I'll give you an A for effort. Grinding and paint hides a lot. I hate grinding and 99% of my welding is on stainless steel that doesn't get painted. So I learned how to lay a really good bead. Because like I said I HATE grinding.

. I like the "stall-guard feature allot. I can see the auto throttle working really well when doing loader work. And I can get used to the treadle peddle.....but given a choice .....I would take the dual peddles as found on Deere over this set-up. I can see there the stall guard can come in handy. Thursday I was digging out a mound that has been there since before I bought the property. Don't know why or how it got there. It's about 5' tall and a 25' diameter with some birch that are 6-8" diameter. I stalled more than once digging in this mound, so that fature would have been handy.

For me.....I think the stall guard feature is gonna be really slick with my stump grinder. I cannot tell you how many times I have stalled my old tractor when running that stump grinder. It's one of the biggest reasons I do NOT want a higher HP tractor in the model line.....as I feel having less HP keeps me from wrecking stuff with the stump grinder on the PTO. I've broken my drag links three times from essessive push from the grinder.....and stalled the tractor likely several hundred times. The three point linkage on my old 3320 is pretty loose and floppy now as a result of wear to all the pins from the grinder. Stall-Guard would be a big plus with the grinder. (Still.....I think my old JD 3320 is a fine tractor.....and I have made good repairs to what ever I broke in use. I doubt the new owner would be any the worse for wear with this tractor.) I dont have many more stumps to grind now.....and have new teeth on my grinder...which definitely reduces the effects on the 3 point. It will be interesting to see how this new Kubby and Stall-Guard performs with the stump grinder.

How can you fix something without a hammer? Isn't that what the crescent wrench is for?! Looks good, Foggy!
