MF or my dealer may be aware of the clip problem. My brand new mower has the clips on the inside.

MF or my dealer may be aware of the clip problem. My brand new mower has the clips on the inside.

I think I had mine on the inside when it yanked out. But then again I was using my mower deck like a brush hog.

Well, I'm getting better at this... After using the FEL and BH to handle firewood logs, I --once again-- went through the conversion from TLB to lawn mower and hit our lawn yesterday. Now taking me only about 15 minutes to drop off the BH and the FEL (I leave the MMM on all the time in the summer).

Still like to stand back and look at the result -- that LRB/MMM sure does do a nice job.

Over the past few weeks have gone through several iterations of my tool storage issues and think that I have it dialed in. Also got my winch mounted.

Attached some metal channel framing (strut), AKA Unistrut or Superstrut, to the ROPS with some long U-bolts that I got from the Bolt Depot. Then built a wooden tray and mounted it to the strut with angle braces.

Next I got my winch attached to the top of the 3 point trailer hitch.

The wireless controller of the winch is mounted under the tool tray. I used Anderson connectors to be able to disconnect the winch from the controller.

Next I mounted a strut crossmember to the vertical strut and then attached an ammo can to use as a tool box to the strut. It fits nicely behind the seat and is easily accessible.

I've got the mower deck on and just mowing 2 yards these days, FEL and BH are off. Too dang hot to do much else!
I'm learning this thing mows really well, and rides rough due to this cheap ass seat.

Added some metal channel framing to the side of my forks so that there is something to attach the ratchet strap to. The straps help keep the logs in place where they are being moved from the lower field to the pile near the house.
