M1009 Little Red Riding Hood.

I can barely tell the difference in the park lamps between LED and standard bulbs. The B/U is the big difference. I am going with LED because of the heat difference and the amperage draw . I may call it a day at this point. I don’t want to over do it and rush into things. I guess the rear gate is next. That is a fun job. I have everything brand new so it will take me a bit longer. Have a Great Day. I also had some other work done this week. Just sharing.

I was being rained out and needed to take time to work on my project. Rain has me mowing 2 -3 times a week. Slow progress. I picked up some new 7/16” hardware and decided I would attach the hitch. Now I will think about installing the rear bumper.
Have a Great Day. Be Safe.

Well if it keeps on raining the levees going to break. I wanted to clean up my shop and the first thing I came across was the rear bumper setting on a stand in my way. Why not just do it, it had to go on anyway at some point. I had new bolts and serrated flange nuts all ready. I installed the rear bumper and attached the hitch to the bumper. The hardest part for me is the cotter pins on the clevises.
It looks great and I measured it and it is perfect on both sides. Not my first day. But new fasteners make the job a breeze. I used a 3/8” ratchet with a swivel head. A long handled SnapOn that o had since the 80’s.

Now I am going to clean up the garage V8 and put Al my tools away. It is always a motivator for me when I don’t need to search for everything. I guess the gate is next. Getting to the time of year when it gets hot and I can attempt to have a the windows and new rubbers installed. Take Care. Be Safe.
