The specific comment in this thread is moving the rear marker/turn signal lights on the BX inboard of the ROPS. Those lights need to be mounted low and I don't see any room to mount them inboard on the BX without them being in the way.

OP here... Agreed... and why I asked for pics. I am trying to keep this thread moving with pictures! I'm the only one who has posted such.

Mark, do you wax your BX? Sure looks bright and shiny. Mine sets outside all the time so is starting to chalk out the paint. Hasn't affected the running though.

Ha, no never waxed it. I store outside but undercover. Only hose it down every couple of months. Haven't even used soap yet! 400hrs on it now. Hasn't seen much use this winter. Am thinking about getting a rototiller.

Here is another helpful mod... installed a receptacle on the dash for easy 'battery tender' trickle charging.

I like that mod, where did you pick up that female end of the trickle charger? If you don't mind helping a Red guy.....

Added Jery's QA and moveable forks. Now I can quickly and easily swap my bucket and forks! Oh and also shown is the famous Piranha Tooth Bar from bxpanded.com. A great digging tool for your FEL.

Two more... again inspired by Paul Short. Upgraded to a heavier duty floor mat. Ripped my old one. Also added no slip tape on the edges. Huge safety improvement!

Hey someone else chip in with their mods, please! But I got more!

Thank you Mark. It all looks great. Love the light guards. Thanks for the business. We started cutting the Sure Footers today on our new Tracker CNC plasma table.
