I'm so jealous.. I do not have the time or abillity to do such work..I also wish i could afford an old tractor with a front loader..
Also noticed your axle stands  ( blatant plug here)  have you tried [b]melco[/b] axle stands, british made and the best value for long life. I hear they do other useful tools for farm vehicles and equipment..
sorry, I have been involved in the manufacture of these products all my life, as my granfather started the business, and now we are so quiet due to the recesion that it might be terminal.

 Had this built this from an old strimmer.Took off the shaft and welded a pipe on the exhaust.Altered the handle and attached the throttle to it.
Start it up..pipe down the hole..fumes down the runs and it works on rats and moles.
