I bought these side boxes in the 80's from a independent truck guy. As far as I can tell the company went out of business in the mid 90's. Anyone have stuff they made or any other information on this company ?
Have both sizes and the small one saved me on a egr valve the one and only time I have used them the bolt was rusted and no longer a 10mm and nothing fit it. The bolt was in real bad shape and couldn't get into it real well for some reason I remembered this tool with the front and back off set...
Found this at a friends house asked him if he wanted to sell it he told me to take it.That it had come with the house 14 years ago and it never worked .
Took it apart and gave it a good cleaning Found a clock on sale for 5 dollars and a new light bulb for 3 dollars. Put everything back together...
It was real easy to make couple 2x4s and some angle iron plus two short
2x4s at the top to step it out

But you are right about splatter and I wasn't thinking about it till you pointed it out :thumbup:
A friend of mine let me use his bx24 backhoe to do some digging. He had some rocks come over the top of his bucket and broke his hood. I don't know what a new one cost but he said it was way to much so I made him a hood for the use of his tractor.
