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.

Looks awesome!

Killing Rick! By chance would you know the specs for those serrated flange nuts as mine are rusted to hell?
