I made my own. I went to Home Depot and bought a 4 foot length of 3" ABS sewer pipe. I cut it with a hacksaw to the length I desired, then put two 3" sewer cleanout plugs on it (one on each end) and used two large stainless steel pipe clamps to clamp it to my skidplate.

I think the whole project cost me about $10 including pipe, end caps, and clamps, is that cheep enough for you? . Btw, others use PVC rather than ABS, but the reason I went with the ABS is because the sewer cleanout plugs screw right into the ABS, whereas with the PVC you have to glue fittings onto the pipe. I didn't want that extra mess . _E

hold instruction manuals on farm tractors. A quick google search was not informative, but they're out there somewhere: smaller but substantially lighter in weight than the schedule 40 pipe style tool tube. Try your local John Deere dealer (or rather their dumpster out back, since most tractor purchasers immediately dispose of them), or you can order them at AGRI SUPPLY DIRECT http://www.agrisupply.com they have the pointer to them on their front page (they must be selling a *ton* of the things, I can imagine them good ole' boys in North Carolina standin' 'round scratchin' their gimme caps and sayin' ta one another, "now what's a buncha them dadburn Californicators want with a tractor operator's manual canister? Well, nevermind, they want'em, we'll sell'em!"). The killer is the shipping -- it's like $6.95 for the operator's manual canister, and $8 to ship it!

Or get a welding rod container and some heavy duty hose clamps. Kevin
