    This has been my go-to for a while now.

    I can get through a whole Winter and into Spring with it. I did learn not to top it with anything though as it will not hold up at all.

    I learned the ‘if it’s too good to be true, it probably is’. Thanks for you inputs.

    I used to use Meguiar's Shampoo Plus wash and it had some glossifiers and it did make the paint looks pretty good. But, I always had some protection on it. I've been kind of a detail nut for a while :anonymous:

    Try the 845. It's liquid and can be applied with a DA polisher so no strain on your arms. You can also use the 476 with a DA polisher, but it's tricky.

    I'm debating ceramic coating the 4th gen. Have to do a full on polish before hand. The Underground color micro-scratches and swirls just looking at it. Got some major chipping on the bedside to fix first :annoyed:

    Well fellers, it has been a good day working out in the sun. I did a bit more work with the Lincoln AC 225 and some 6011 rod.
    :welder:

    The hitch is done on the mule tractor.
    :yay:

    20250324_162624.jpg

    The hitch frame is welded, just bolted to the tractor though.

    2 more 10K capacity tow hooks too. :benchpress:

    20250324_162617.jpg

    The height is the same as on my truck as well. Partly because it just worked out that way but it seemed to be a good idea too.

    The fill port for the transaxle is still easily accessible too. :thumbsup:

    Back 10-15 years ago I was washing every weekend. Even if it was gonna rain the next day. Now where I live now if there's precip within in a couple days I won't do it. I can go weeks between washes as it isn't worth it. Between the mud and cow crap (literally :puke:) keeping my truck clean around here... :bananadead:

    Collinite is good stuff :thumbsup:

    I like any of the old style carnuba. Current is Adams Buttery wax..

    New attachment, I have had this HF truck crane kit in the archives for years.

    20250324_180751.jpg

    It won't lift a Ford 390 obviously but I'm betting it can lift a dead mower to tow.

    It pivots more than 180 degrees.

    Those hooks are being useful already.
    The hitch can't fall through the pulling ring, everything stored right on the mule with the crane on.

    I better close up shop for the day, Mrs Green will be looking for some dinner. :hungry:
