Amazon or eBay. Amazon prices can change quite a bit over time.

Amazon seems to use an interest-based pricing model. Revisit a single item multiple times from multiple locations, and you'll sometimes see the price increase over a few days. Not enough to really matter, it's usually just a few pennies or percent, but interesting to watch, nonetheless. Don't revisit that item for a few weeks, or check on a seasonal item you had bought previously that is now out of season, and you can sometimes see the reverse effect.

Smokeydog, I sure like the bracket you show - where can I find one like that? I've only seen the flimsy ones that usually come with the extinguisher, and are next to impossible to mount to the tractor. I'd get a couple of those if I could find them! Thanks, Greg

I got one just like it from my neighbors son, who works for a fire extinguisher repair company.

Is there one near you?

I had an aquaintenance who was caught in a riot while driving his truck in Potland Oregon...

I see what you did there...

I did some rough terrain mowing and it held rock steady. So far so good.

Thanks for the info, it does fit well.

I have 2.5 and 5 pound ABC dry chemical units and just recently had a couple of them hydro tested and refilled. I will ad that all of my extinguishers at this time are AMEREX. Not badger not kidde, 'nada. At risk of a ford and chevy contest, Amerex has better guts. I serviced many brands decades ago and believe what I say is true to this day. Previous to then, I ran General'. You will never gripe about what you paid for any unit once you need it.! I buy mine locally and have them serviced the same. If you have a big enough outfit, a local extinguisher company can put you on their list, come out now and then and do an update tag on your extinguishers. You insurance agent loves to see that kind of detail.

These two brands make up at least 10 of my dozen-odd extinguishers, as well. Although Badger does also make professional serviceable extinguishers, or at least they did in 1998. Here's the one hanging in my basement stairway:

Are there any one that knows what PURPLE K is use for?

It's very good for fuel/oil fires and can be used with electrical too.
Leaves a cool (very corrosive) purple powder if used.

The Navy uses them for chopper crashes magnesium was only able
to extinguish the fires with Purple K as water makes mag burn hotter and faster and if possible would just push the chopper over the side
if possible.
