I found a roll of the material in various colors on Amazon for not much if I remember right.

Got here a few minutes ago. I will still tape it ,but like the cover and its pockets. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MainelyWheelhorse 2,812 #52 Posted July 3 @Brockport Bill Well, I need to come up with something different. I caught it on something mowing the fire station lawn and almost ripped it off. I think if I stiffen it around the holes, it would last longer as that was the only spot with issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I look at a tractor I haven’t used in a while and think I should sell it. Then I use it for whatever reason and think no, I like this tractor, I don’t want to sell it!! Same here, I’m running out of room but then I grade the driveway with my plow tractor or take a ride on the C-141 I built and think,“Nah, I’ll figure something out to use this for.” Edited July 5 by MainelyWheelhorse 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
c-series don 12,075 #54 Posted July 3 @MainelyWheelhorse How about if you sandwiched that piece with a piece of 1”x1”x1/8” angle iron? Not flat stock, angle iron with give it much greater strength. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MainelyWheelhorse 2,812 #59 Posted July 5 (edited) I had to set this up today. For an idea that popped into my head right before I took the picture, it came out great. Edited July 5 by MainelyWheelhorse 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My back .40 is far more brutal. The last Predator motor tolerated it for about 12 years. I just put a new Hemi Predator on this spring. The old one still ran, it just got low on compression over the past year or so and was hard to start at times. If i only get half of that out of this one, for $135 it’s no big loss.
