I wanted to get some more pictures of it, but I didn't feel comfortable taking a lot of pictures in someone else's house. One nice touch he did that isn't readily apparent was to the rear window. Before moving to this house, they owned a ranch in Robidoux Pass Nebraska. My cousin took a...

They scheduled our reunion later in the year this time because of conflicts with other reunions. I was wondering if you had been home when we drove past Sanburg Implement. I have not been in that area since my last reunion, and it has changed quite a bit. One change was when we drove through...

I have had a bunch of different things going on over the last two weeks. A lot work related and some personal, over the last week I traveled to my hometown for my 40th class reunion. We flew from IND to DEN and drove on to Mitchell NE for my reunion. Along the way I stopped in Cheyenne to visit...

This weekend I was only in the shop Saturday, and I only worked on the sifter for about six hours. Before I got much farther on it I wanted to come up with a way to move it around with the bucket. It would be a total pain to swap out the bucket with forks to move it around. When I helped my...

Yesterday I acquired some rivet rack shelving for free. It took me most of the afternoon to get it loaded on my trailer and I was so caught up in loading it and getting it home I never took a picture of it on the trailer. Needless to say it was a good test of my trailers load capacity. This...

I had some good progress on the dirt sifter today but didn't take a lot of pictures. Earlier this week I ordered a couple of side crank trailer jacks to make the deck adjustable. I positioned them so the deck was at its lowest point 7'4", and about 18° this is about as high as I can set it and...

Last weekend my buddy recommended some cleaner for my trailer deck and I ordered it. It was a same day shipment and when it showed up the seal was broken and was leaking in the box it shipped in. After all that it turned out it was the wrong stuff and so he brought his cleaner over to my house...

Agreed, most of the soil around here is heavy with clay so a little be longer dwell time probably will work better anyway.. I have been looking at them for a few weeks, unfortunately the side crank ones are almost double the cost of the top crank jacks. Ill try it out before I spend the money...

Quick update: Last weekend I was able to spend a little time welding the last of the two sides together. I have been spending a lot of time with cleaning up old welds and fittings on the reclaimed metal, it makes the progress very slow. My steel tables have feet that are easily adjustable I...

Bob, I have cameras in the shop and the house, I even have one in the crawl space to watch the sump. The motion detection built into the camera at that distance works well enough to alert me of any visible water. I actually had to go down in there last week to clear out a cobweb that was...

Absolutely correct, that’s why I said any good prevention is more than one thing. The picture with the chain was staged to demonstrate an idea and make the picture easy to take. The implementation will be less obvious, make getting to it harder and take much more time to cut. Some of this is...

Last weekend was a total wash for any projects. Saturday morning started with me trying to change the oil in my truck, getting it all jacked and drain pan in place only to realize the filter I had was for the Corvette. It will fit but is a much smaller filter than the truck uses. Luckily, I...

I used it last night for the first time and yes I should have bought it a long time ago. I like being able to roll up the hose with one hand while holding a rag around it with the other. It makes it so easy to clean the hose off.

Thursday the tailgate I ordered for my buddy came in. I was outside when FedEx pulled up so I helped get it off the truck. The box looked pretty rough, but the driver wouldn't wait for me to open it. Not surprisingly it was completely destroyed, there were no markings on the box to prevent...

Mine is flat and 8' because the used metal I bought was welded in 8' frames, and the sheets were 8'. its literally going to be made the way it is because I am repurposing most everything. My bucket is 6' and I think most skid steers use 6-7' buckets. It being one-foot wider won't hurt a thing...

This weekend my buddy came by and wanted to replace the Trump 2020 sticker on his tailgate. We brought it in the shop and started peeling it off and it quickly became apparent that the bottom of the tailgate was nearly corroded though. I know he has looked for one for a while and the chance of...

I had time to install the plugs I ordered in the Corvette. I don't know it could be just totally psychological, but the throttle response seems so much better, and the **** dyno has it at another 25 hp. Seriously though it probably does run a bit better, it's funny how something like that will...

I just noticed you said yours was on the top of the tank, mine was the bung on the bottom of the tank. Different bungs, same problem. It doesn't make me regret buying the compressor, I still think it's the best option for the money.

I had the same exact problem last October. I thought it was an NPT plug and tried thread sealer, this slowed the leak but didn't fix it. I contacted Eaton and they explained it was a bad O-ring, I told them there was no O-ring. They insisted on sending a Tech to fix it, I was fine with them just...

It's a little scary that we both took pictures of spark plugs this weekend.
