I saw yours on one of your posts and that was a trigger for me to go ahead and get some. I could see some use for the Edge Tamers beyond just snow removal. I have good control of my bucket now, but it can change so quickly if the tractor rolls into a dip relative to the bucket. Being able to...

Last week while I was trying to polish the finish on the table I built, my Dynabrade DA kept skipping from locked to DA. I had this happen a couple of times last time I used it, but this time It was doing it fairly consistent when I tried to lock the head. It was a bit frustrating because I have...

With the saw functioning i started my next project, some craft tables for my wife. I bought a 24' stick of 2x2 to make the frame out of and a 39"x74" butcher block countertop made of Hevea. i had a ton of problems trying to get a finish on the countertop. I am not a woodworker and have no...

Just over a year ago, i purchased a Grizzly 7 horizontal band saw for $50. I brought it home and spent about 3 hours cleaning all the chips out of it. The drain pan was so full they were falling out over the edge. This is what it looked like after "cleaning". The previous owner told me the...

i was out walking through the yard today before the big meal, and i noticed i had grass coming into the areas i filled in over the geothermal lines. Based on some advice I got from a friend I had planted seed just before Halloween. After that I put down some straw and completely ignored the...

The picture from the manual you posted answers your question. "Select the proper thickness of shim to align the cotter pin group in the castle nut with the pin hole in the piston rod.

I have a few things to catch up on: Over the last few months I have been adding a few things to the truck, the first of which was changing out the chrome door handles for black handles. I am not trying to totally dechrome the truck, but I will most likely do at least still do the door molding...

They call it a Burrito Hawaiiana, it was full of chorizo. sausage and a little rice. i didn't even finish half of it. Their meals are so large that they give you reuseable containers to take the rest home in. They have another burrito called a Cowboy Burrito and I swear it has over half a...

I have not posted in a while, I have some projects I have been working on that I'll post on my projects thread. Work has been occupying a lot of my time and It's easy to get wrapped up in the whole work thing and be oblivious to things I around you. Last week this one caught my attention, I...

Over the last three weekends I spent most of my time running dirt through the sifter. Yesterday I ran what I believe to be the last bucket, Some of the last loads I ran through it had a lot of clay in them so I may run some of them back through but for the most part the pile is gone and I have...

Sunday was a beautiful day just hotter and more humid. The best part was the ripper performed flawlessly. I made about 12 passes through the dirt pile at about 3 times the speed and it pulled out big chunks of concrete and 2x4s with no problem. I even made a turn just to see if it would. I did...

Beautiful morning, the temp was 81° and low humidity. I was on my second pass through the dirt pile at a speed that would make it hard to tell I was even moving, when the tractor started moving with no drag. I looked back and could see the ripper was bent, even though I had been going...

Thanks for the information, I was looking at those when I was trying to decide what I wanted to do. I really like the furrower it has versus just a plain ripper. Last night I ended up ordering a tow hitch drawbar adapter along with a ripper mounted on a hitch. I have no illusion that this...

Friday night after work I ran a few buckets through the sifter, when I ended the night I looked down and saw the tractor was at 50 hours and ready for its first big service. I have been lubing the loader every 10 hours as recommended, it literally only takes about 5 minutes to hit the 16 or so...

I sent a video to the contractor that gave me the dirt, our last conversation was I couldn't take any more dirt that wasn't clean. I wanted him to know I was open to more of the type he gave me. He responded back asking about the sifter and what I had planned for it. I hope that at the point I...

I did a couple small projects during the week. I like to think they were small but sometimes that isn't always the case. I bought some black door handles for my truck and proceeded to change them out. It's really relatively simple, remove a screw, remove the handle and replace. It should take...

I haven't updated this in a month, because I was traveling and I ran into a problem with how the sifter was functioning. Four weeks ago I got the motor mounted and started working on the pulley arrangement. I initially was going to make provisions for the belt to be disengaged, after trying...

I missed getting a chance to eat at Scotty's, I love their shrimp sandwiches. I did get to eat twice at El Charritos though.
