When they were cheaper, like $8 plus the old 20% off coupon, I would buy them to rob the casters off myself. You couldn't beat the price for 4 casters.

I couldn't help myself and hoped to stack a 15% coupon but it didn't work. I know some have had luck doing but I didn't. . . didn't stop me though.
I've considered this for awhile since I got the new boxes and being this close to the press.
I wanted to put all my press "related" stuff in here. Like this

First, move press out of the way and hang box.
Move pressback and find issue....
Problem solved by cutting about 3/4" off the rod and turning it around, inserting from the back side.

This box will give some room to grow for the future.
Bottom drawer, all flat steel I've used during pressing.
Room stuff in the next drawer up.

The middle drawers, automotive related 
Bearing separators.
Since they are not something I use alot, I bought the one set awhile back and picked up the larger one yesterday.

OP
Then the top two drawers are for the press itself, like pump handles and spare rods for the pkates.
Very top drawer is just the rebuild o-rings for now...like said room to grow. I'd like to pick up another set of press plates or blocks, possibly a small press brake

Couple of more pics.
Here's clearance I gained cutting the rod down.

It will surprise you how quickly those drawers will fill if you start pressing bushings, bearings, etc.
Every job requires at least one new piece. Then it gets saved for next time.
That side box is a perfect fit.

Eric, looked like a busy time over the weekend with the train jumping the tracks. Suspect your crew was very busy. Take care..
OP
OP
Yes, it was busy and thanks. The duty crew and in coming off duty guys spent all night out there.
OP
Got a top cut for the side box and some polycrylic on it.
Looks good on the box.

Picked up a few things for an electrical upgrade today.
OP
Well, seeing those boxes, outlets and covers above, its obvious, I'm adding g outlets somewhere in the garage. Yes, going to replace a couple of single gang boxes with doubles.
One reason is the 56" boxes have an outlet strip built in the drawer. What i don't like is how the cord comes out the back.
We're looking at like 3" behind the box of clearance needed without really straining the cord. So doing some research, I found theses on The Jungle.

Closer look at the label for anyone interested.
Comparing to the original plug, these only stick put about 1 1/4" .
They allow point straight down.

Great switch Eric!
OP
Thanks. I bought 3 of them. One for the box shown, one for the box on order and the last one goes in the box that is paired with the 42" box.
The latter is going to be real fun moving out....glad there's AC in the garage.

Eric, that is similar to how I have the rods for my hydraulic press. I have no bulbous end on either side and just slip them in from the front up to flush with the front of the adjustable worktable/beam. I like the drawer to hold the press accessories, I just have mine on a side table that I built, but I like your drawer setup.
OP
Thanks Mike. I know when we ( neighbor & I) built the press, he said to put ends on the rods so they don't accidently get pushed or bumped in. Home shop maybe not an issue but factory updating/remodeling was his area of work at the time.

Yeah, none of our commercial hydraulic presses have those bulbous ends either, they all just have straight shafts/pins. In reality a retaining pin being "bumped in" is probably less of a concern than one would expect.
OP
A little project for the afternoon... parents have a bird feeder that needs attention. They're having issues with '**** and squirrels getting up the feeder pole. Step dad used to have piece of duct work on it for prevention...
They bought a new feeder and his mental condition, he couldn't repair the duct work so here's what I came up with.. pole is 1.5" rigid conduit, so I bought a coupling and bent up some steel. A few minutes with the Horbart and its now a duct bracket.
It'll fit something like this, inside the 8" round duct.
More like this vertically but with bracket inside.
I added a close ****** and a coat of paint. Hopefully tomorrow will be installation.

First time for everything, took off the backhoe this morning and put the new box blade on the 2032R.

How involved is it to attach and detach the backhoe? Is that a frame mount? Mine's a 2038R, so I suppose a backhoe would be similar on mine?
OP
I thought I had a picture with the box blade in it but didn't so I had to snap one.
OP
Should be the exact same being a 2038R compared to my 2032R. The only real difference would be the turbo for the extra 6hp.
It was fairly easy to detach, attaching should fairly simple as well. I will find out later today when I swap them out again.
Honesty, I thought it was going to be removing a frame and more buts just a different quick attach compared to the 1025R I had previously.
A couple of pics of the backhoe mounting framework.
OP
You would also need a power beyond kit for the hydraulic side of it if you don't already have it.
OP
Ohhh tight fit...

Thanks for the reply and the pictures. Looks like a slick set up. Nice to have the Frontier attachments, too. I have a collection of attachments acquired over 40 years. Some work well with the iMatch system. Some not so much.
OP
I bought this unit used as a TLB. It also already had dealer installed for 3rd function hydraulics and included grabble. It's not a huge machine but a noticeable difference over the previous 1025R TLB that I had previously.
I think its the prefect size for me, which includes working in the woods at my parents place.
OP
Some if you may remember the tiling project I started back in May...its now finished. . . Just side tracked with work, other projects and life in general.
Ready for grass seed which my step-dad is going to take care of. . . If not, I will go back over and do it.
Here's a second area that stayed very wet a where I had previously gotten stuck trying to get this project done.
Probably hard to see on a phone, especially since the river rock is still dirty. After the rain last night, its probably cleaner. There's 2 tiles Tee'd into the main line. One has rock around to help with drainage and the second you can see above. I also cut, cleaned back the woods and created a swale with more rock in an attempt to direct the water were it needs to go.
There's still a third spot that needs attention. The tree line has a low spot, almost a foot shallower, than the frontage grass line. We'll see what happens once the rain starts back up and may tackle it this fall after it cools down.

I think 30 HP is the sweet spot for Class 1 3PH attachments. Enough, but not too much. I also like the operator stations on JD, and small niceties like hydrostatic transmission, quick attach implements, and a nice dash set-up. You did well. I don't need the extra HP on my 2038, but the price was right. Mine is also used.
OP
Back by the house, I cleaned up a bit, added some stone and tamped it with the plate compactor. This gives me an area to work off of when am over doing stuff or cutting wood.
I'd like to enlarge this whole area, basically a driveway for "me." This way my step-dad can leave his trailer where it is and if there's more company over, it'll give additional parking area.

OP
I had considered a 2038R but I was concerned that most if my work is in the woods and slow moving. I was afraid the turbo would create too much heat under the hood.
Once I found this deal, just by chance, I snatched it up. I was fully on board buying a used with 1 year old machine with 200 hours to save about $18K.

I don't think you'd have heat problems, but in all reality, unless you're pulling ground engaging implements or running something that is really taxing the PTO you won't notice a difference in the HP.
My Branson 3510H has a 3cyl Cummins rated at 35hp, tractor with loader/bucket weighs in at 4200lbs. I don't think I'd want to go any smaller. My buddy had a 1025R, and parked next to my JD X724 mower, they were the same size physically. The 3510H will do more than it should, but I like the lift capacity both front and rear. Just wish it had a cab in the winter when I'm clearing snow
OP
I'm pretty sure the 700 series bodysize are quite similar to the 1 series, 1023/1025... the series 1 & 2 seem similar until you put them side by side or climb off one to the other. I believe the rear tires on the 2 series are 10" taller.I don't think you'd have heat problems, but in all reality, unless you're pulling ground engaging implements or running something that is really taxing the PTO you won't notice a difference in the HP.
