    The new hydraulic rear top link came in this morning. Waiting on the 3-point quick attach plate so I can move the pallet forks to the rear and put the grapple back on the front.

    Actually.........there is a FHC tattoo symbol.

    FHC tattoo symbols typically represent the virtues of Faith, Hope, and Charity, which are foundational concepts in Christianity. These symbols often include designs like a cross, an anchor, and a heart, reflecting their spiritual significance.
