I had thought it was cut out of pre-punched flat stock but no... ovals were done by laser too. Amazing what machines can do these days.

I sprayed the inside of the tool box with bed liner. I figured that I would more apt to use it if I did not have to be afraid of scratching it up. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it doesn't work I'll switch it out for a 4L-830. Thanks for the tip!! I have a TSC 82" on mine. I had to slip the clutch for a bit to "burn it in " but it works fine now 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tonytoro416 952 #142 Posted June 4, 2023 Looks really damn good. I am going to get started on my grandpas 953 next Hopefully by the end of the summer. It was missing the hydraulic pump and all related items. I have been gradually sourcing those pieces since last fall. This is a real good example for me to refer to on how things belong. I sourced the correct seat frame I just worry how I’ll ever get a decent back and seat cushion made excellent job. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
