    M8540 Tool Box

    I got feed up with not having any decent place to store tools, chains and parts on my tractor (not on the cab floor). I cut off the right step post (useless) above the first step and fabricated a mount for a weather proof box I got from a local sporting goods store. E/S

    Posthole Conundrum

    Dug a whole bunch of really nice 9" x 4' holes for the llama corral today. Problem is they have to be a full 4' deep and a regular hand porthole digger will not close enough to hold the dry loose dirt. The wife is threatening to getting my shop vac and have me string 500' of extension cord...
