    Between 485 & 705 SQ/FT Cabin with a Carport

    Thank you. Man, if it was my world all my doors would be 120" tall. My trucks hardly fit into any garage and I've had it!. lol . Right now I've got a tarp draped over the operator station to keep it clean. I am considering the idea of a temporary 10x20 shelter for the winter and building a...

    My tractor is here! It rolled up early and I received a thorough walk through from the delivery guy. He was actually the one that prepped the tractor so he answered questions thoroughly, so that was cool. As he was reminding me about the grease points he says I should go down to HF and grab a...

    For those that ask "how deep do a build my garage?"

    28x34 is no slouch. And you gotta stick you your guns, you are after-all the one paying for it AND living with it. Good to nkow there are realtors out there fighting for their clients.

    For those that ask "how deep do a build my garage?"

    OP, nice truck. Now don't get mad. While you have a short bed configuration, I don't know you can consider a MegaCab a short bed truck. That configuration is longer than the QuadCab or Crew Cab setup due to the longer length of the cab. In my experience a MINIMUM to get a 3rd Gen 2500/3500...

    A task I haven't mentioned but will be done is digging the remainder of the fence post holes. The tractor hasn't even arrived yet and I'm already doing the back and forth on quick attach auger? 3pt suger? renting vs buying? Brands? Models? All have pros n cons. Being I had the experience...

    I skimmed through that one a little bit. It seems alright, I'm going to dig a bit more. I'm seeing there's not a whole lot out on these newer tractors specifically. But I suspect there's a lot of previous info that applies.

    That's great to hear. Looks like your tractor is stout machine. Moving a lot of dirt with the shovel in the last few weeks is what kicked me over the edge. My shoulders are already glad to have relief on the way. Have you found a tractor forum you like? I've seen several but not sure which...

    Yessir. straight to it. I made a deal on a new LS MT242H. Making arrangements for delivery today. Several weeks ago I talked tractors with a coworker. He referred me to a place that sells LS Tractors a town over so I went to see. I looked at the MT226E 25hp and MT232E 32hp tractors...

    Old blades, news blades. Worlds of difference. This time around I got low lift sand blades as all we have here is sand. I gave them a spin and they produce considerably less dust when mowing. Still provide a good cut. Also new blades are much quieter. Looking out the window found a...

    You're crazy...Besides I was discouraged from that idea already :dunno: :ROFLMAO: It was nixed after searching online and reading some feedback about deer impaling themselves due to not being able to see the tposts when they jump the fence. I guess I could have painted them black and left...

    What a fast month October was even though it felt like a grind. I looked up and it was Halloween and gone. I've been continuing maintenance on machines and taking care of those small job that stacked up and overall getting ready for winter. If fall ever decides to show up. The weather...

    Stuck Axle Nut Help, Possible to Snap Stud off CV Axle??

    That. Get off the impact and put in leverage work. Incorporate heat and penetrating oil. I put a 3/4" breaker bar w pipe extension on my 06 ram 2500 changing hub assemblies. Keep muscling it. I imagine the impact helps too. Just throw it all at it.

    What would you get if you needed a single 1” drive socket for lugnuts?

    Use a 24-27" long 1/2" breaker bar, Ive got 15/16" lug nuts @ 140ft lbs easy. I bought my breaker bar at auto zone or oreillys. Tractor supply has them too. Pick one and run it.

    I very well could be. I'm gonna use the 1/2" on a bolt that wanted to round. Its in an awkward part on the diff and tough to get a good torque angle due to the ring gear protrusiin snd the steering linkage. I think I'll lift the truck and let the axle hang to spread out the linkage.

    When's the last time I used a 13mm socket? Today, removing the differential bolts on the truck to change the fluid.

    Had a chance to get some maintenance done on the Kioti. Over the last month or so I've been taking the trucks and all the machines through their annual maintenance since the season is slowing down a bit and all have been used pretty hard over the brutal year. Not even gonna use the word...

    Using crescent wrenches for car repair and what sizes you use?

    I used a similar one, a Huskyself adjusting pipe wrench i think its called, to unstuck a bit of a one man auger...one turned at a time. At that time it was the handiest tool ever.

    Using crescent wrenches for car repair and what sizes you use?

    While I keep an adjustable in each truck, its there for just in case. Or the ball on the hitch. I keep specific sockets and wrenches in the trucks to do roadside repairs if required. I dislike adjustable wrenches, except my spud wrench, and that because I use the pointy end to align mounting...

    It’s been years since I have had to remove a snapped bolt, any new tools to make life easier?

    ...or, if enough of an edge is present and you've got enough room, try a punch to grab that edge and tap it.

    It’s been years since I have had to remove a snapped bolt, any new tools to make life easier?

    If accessible, plug weld a nut and use a socket to remove. The welding heat helps to expand and break loose, the nut for a thing to grab and turn.
