I don't have one. I used the mounting holes for the doubler mount.

Working 60s Mon-Fri .....and its harvest time soooo my evenings and weekends are spent running the combine or hauling corn/beans.

Still working on moving in/finishing up the interior of the house. Kitchen remodel will wait till spring summer.

Garage is almost cleaned out...PO left all sorts of junk when they moved to a retirement home in FL.

I did haul the Ranger here and shove it in the garage tonight though. I need to get the 220 outlets wired up and replace the chimney pipe on the wood burner before the garage is ready for winter projects.

It needs some better like lighting and a decent air compressor too...but its a nice setup over all.
