How To Keep From Losing Slow Moving Vehicle Sign
I almost lost a slow moving vehicle sign on back of my tractor while driving on a rough road. The back side of the sign comes with a tapered metal strap on it that fits into a holding bracket. The problem is that on bumpy roads the strap can easily bounce out of the bracket, and the driver won’t even know. A replacement sign costs $10 or more.
    To solve the problem, I removed one of the strap’s mounting bolts and replaced it with a 1/4-in. eye bolt. I tie a short length of rope onto the eye bolt and attach it to the tractor. With the rope attached the sign will never fall onto the ground, even if it does bounce out of the bracket. (Leonard Seltzer, 16040 W. Manhattan Road, Manhattan, Ill. 60442 ph 815 342-0743)
