( PTO cover..... hell, I'm still looking for cigarette lighter, lumbar support and heated seat button. )
Does this mean you found the cup holder???? John

Actually, I made my own. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Before I wedged my cup between the PTO handles, lol.

( Before I wedged my cup between the PTO handles, lol. ) Dewave, you crack me up.
I actually found an old double cup holder/trinket tray from an old Buick Riviera that I had for years. I was going to throw it away some months back, but when I recently ran across it again, I tried it over the hump on the CK platform and it fits great! I can keep my drink and extra pins etc right there on the platform. Sometimes it DOES pay to hold on to crap! John

I remember those hump holders, my girlfriend used to knock it over trying to sit next to me in my 1970 maverick with bench style seat. Remember trying to adjust the bench seat with the 3 people in the front, lol. Ok everyone pull forward when I pull the knob, whoa to far can't breath! OR... The passenger side is stuck and only the drivers side will move, lol. ah the good ole days. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

There was one good thing about the bench seat. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yep, the Riviera came with bench or buckets and the lady I bought it from in '81 had bought the bench. Of course, it was electric though so not the same problems but made it nice not to have to shift to the rear for important things. I kept that car for nearly 20 years. I think I got my $750 worth!

My 66 mustang cost me $250 back in 1976, /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Let me know how your PHD works. I think that is going to be my next attachment. Dug two holes yesterday and was thinking how nice the PHD would be. Looking forward to any tips. Probably still a while away but nice to dream.

GerardC · Apr 11, 2004

To get the feel of it, I dug a practice hole about 1/2 - 2/3 of the auger length. Was totally amazed by it's performance. It was much quieter than I expected and ran smooth as glass /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif. Sorry I can't give any tips yet as I have none to offer /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif.

Wait until you hit some rocks. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Wait a second! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Who else has a big screen TV in their garage? /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Or is your tractor parked in the family room? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

GerardC · Apr 11, 2004

The wife said that if I keep buying implements, that is going to be my family room! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif At least it's not the dog house. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Or is it?! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Yeah, I know. Does it scare the crap out of you when it does or does it just sound nasty and give you a good jolt?

I called Kioti today and spoke to Cindy. She said that my BH2365 is leaving their warehouse on Friday and should be at my dealers by next Thursday /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif.
Also, she said that they're gaining ground on the almost two month delay to get the BH (problems arose back in 10/03).

If all goes well /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif, I should get it back home by the 25th or 26th.
Here we go again with those sleepless nights /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif. G

Great Gerard. I'm happy for you to be getting the BH. After you use it a little, make sure you check the connections at the cylinders for leaks. At the factory, they tightened O ring connections too much and smashed/broke the O rings on my left swing cylinder, and also the boom cylinder connection(which is difficult to reach without taking it out)started leaking some after a little use. Just fine tuning and you'll be digging away. John

GerardC · May 13, 2004

Thanks for the tips John. I just wish it were here so I could get some work done (it is a long wait especially when you have the tractor). I have a lot of trenches to dig and the weather has been great so far. I just hope the weather stays this way for the summer. G

LOL, that's funny you're telling me after I waited 3 months to get mine! /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif It'll be here soon! John
