Blew a hydraulic return line from the loader joystick valve assembly on the tractor. No room for a wrench on the fitting at the valve assembly. It was obviously originally put on before the valve block was mounted. Got the bad one off by cutting the old line off and getting a deep well socket on...

Thanks for the great info! I think I’ll clean it all up and maybe keep the better parts. There are flat head screw bits and nut drivers and some bits and parts I don’t know. Some look like a grooving chisel. Many are unused even though rusty. At least I have nothing invested.

Thanks, now if I can figure out how to post audio...

yup. different sizes, different tones. I'm looking for some more material. I told my wife that my "art" has real value- and I think its about $80 per ton right now.

Just for kicks... Scrounged an old out of date CO2 tank and a rural mailbox door at the scarp yard, added some old chain and a new eye bolt (Damn I hated to spend the money for a new eyebolt). too far to reach my arm in to thread a nut on the eye bolt so I welded some rod to the nut and put a...

I did something similar with an old barn board and a mixed assortment of antique doorknobs. My wife really likes it and that's good.
