    Hi:
    Nicely done! May I suggest a bracket behind the seat to store the drive wheel? Keep it out of the dirt, etc.
    Thanks, Carl.

    That is pretty clever.

    Just a thought, when I have hydraulic quick connects, I put 1 male and 1 female connector on the implement, same on the machine. Keeps anyone from hooking them up backward. PLUS, when disconnected you can connect the implement ends together to keep them clean.

    I was actually really impressed with the bolts mounted in the top face of the vice jaws - quick cheap way to expand the range of the jaws
