I've done the pins welded to a chunk of steel and held in a vise. Can't remember where I got these pics, seems like a great way to do it. I like how all the pieces are interchangeable and adjustable.

Could you go over the part where my falling ice shack is different from a climber falling? I'm trying to save the gears in my winch just like saving the climber's spine.

that's how they are. I also have issue with atv winch lowering ice shacks on a ramp trailer. I don't like the bang that happens when the shack sticks to the ramp, then lets go. Plan is to use a small tire, maybe riding lawnmower front tire, as a flexible link in the connection. Should absorb...

They tow great if you build them correctly. Runners have to be single pieces of plastic (no splices). And the end profiles have to be rounded not mitered. Always tow with two sleds one behind the other. Three if conditions are terrible. Even though the big skandics can move the shack alone...

Too many close calls while driving curvy single wide bush roads with 6 foot snowbanks.

Quick and easy 2 inch receiver for the ferd.

Mine is up on a mezzanine. I just plumbed in some copper pipe to the bottom drain. It would take ages to fill the copper pipe with condensate. I drain it every few months when I remember. This way the steel tank never sees any standing water.

How about heating them up and dipping in melted wax (several times) to build up a waterproof coating. When you want to open them just warm them up and the melted wax should give way and even act as a nice lubricunt. Could also wrap in denso tape after the wax dips.

Needed a small grommet/strain relief for a heated helmet plug on a sled. Wandered around the shop until I saw my bag of chinese rubber valve stems. Pulled the core and the wire fit perfectly. Installed and trimmed to proper height.

aren't you doing it wrong? the usual practice would be to put a proper skid steer quick-tach on the oddball tractor?
