    how to get skidsteer (case 1845c) in nuetral?

    I agree with Joe69. The 1840 had lap bar connected cable controlled lock pins that went into each chain case compartment and locked in the sprocket hubs. I would think the 1845 would be the same design.

    Ceiling vapor barrier behind metal ceiling?

    I have the same metal ceiling in my 42x75 shop. It has the blown in insulation without a vapor barrier. Been up since 01 and I have no moisture issues. For me, a metal ceiling is the way to go. Even lined my 36x60 horse barn cathedral ceiling with it. Easy to clean and bright.

    36x48 finally underway

    You show a picture of your roof trusses. It looks like the contractor hand built the two trusses for the lift area. So he built them with multiple 2x4s or 2x6s to carry the weight of the missing ones? I first thought all of the trusses were like them.

    I made 2- 4x8 tables out 3/4 plate. Legs are out towards the corners with no support under the plate. No sag or vibration. For my new work bench top I am going to bolt 2 HF 13 drawer cabinets together, lay on a piece of plywood then top it off with 1/4 or 3/8 steel. I don't like wood tops.
