My chain pockets for the BX

Leejohn · Nov 1, 2010

Tried to do a update to my other thread and couldn't find a way to do it, so I started a new one.
Got this painted yesterday and put on today. I forgot to grind the bottom a little rounder before I painted, well have to do it later. The loader storage legs just touch when the loader is all the way down. The extra grinding well fix that.
The chain that I have is 4' a little over 1/4" heat treated chain. The pockets well hold about 6' of the same type of chain, giving you 12' of chain. On my bigger tractors I have 2 10'ers and 1 6'. I seem to use the 4'er the most for moving stuff around the shop.

It looks like an out door one judging from the pump on the tank.
Here is my indoor one.

I guess you could call it that. It all started out with a overhead tank and I had to use 300 gal. a year to get the overhead tank. I sell to the neighbors and it started out with 3 tractors now there are 6. The meter on the old overhead wasn't ever good and it was hard to keep track of the gals.
Ran across this 500 Gal. with 110V pump and the meter is only 2 or 3 tenths off in 20 to 30 hits. Now I can get fuel from who ever has the best price. The other guys price got down to only $.10 lower then on road fuel. You can guess what I was calling him. We are going thru around 600 to 700 gals a year.
