Finally was able to score a decent deal on an air hose reel. I've tried numerous times to get the curl out of an air hose with no luck. I could have stuck the hose to the Sahara sun for five years and it still would have curled back up. ohwell Not bad for $45 and no leaks! Time for search for a place to mount it.

Bought this tool last week. Looking forward to ruining a perfectly good cylinder ridge.

I finally broke down and bought a Rivnut tool. I have one at work and use it a lot. I bought this one to mount my Cab Lights with.

I found this set on Amazon, I had a Gift Card so it cost me nothing. It lists for $55.00.

Picked up a cheap Harbor Freight tire changer at a yard sale last Sunday. It will come in handy repairing UTV and lawnmower tires.

Picked up a snout tool. It is designed to allow you to thread a crankshaft snout so you can install a balancer without beating it on with a hammer. It worked like a champ. Threaded the snout on my 283. I believe the 235 has the same size snout.
