I bought my 966 new 20 some years ago. Have used it every week since. No real complaints. Mine sits on a couple 6"x6"s because it was a little low for my liking. I highly recommend getting the blow gun kit! It's really nice blowing all the dust and grit off your parts before taking the out of...

If you hammer a piece of copper pipe make sure to anneal it first. It'll be much easier to work with and you'll get better results. I have a roll of copper roof flashing. Use it for all sorts of stuff from weld backing to jaw pads on the lathe. Handy stuff. As far as a 14ga mower deck repair...

Well that worked out slick, well done!

Yep I have thoroughly brutalized several Dragon Scale treated squares and now know it's limits.:LOL:

Congratulations on your new table. Post a full review once you've used it! One word of caution about Dragon Scale, it is a very durable surface treatment but not impervious all abuse. It'll still be good practice to wipe down the table with anti-splatter time to time.

Very cool! Showed your photos to Mrs.Nortonscustom and believe a large rocket stove may be added to the to-do list.

That stove is super cool, and looks like beast! Question, how do you empty the ashes or does it burn clean enough you don't have to?

Thanks. I was in the same boat, now I kick myself for waiting so long. It's a 60 year old pole building, the post is a 6"x6" oak timber that's in the floor and bolted to the truss directly above the upper hinge. The hinges are backed by 6"x8"x1/4" plates and clamp the sides. The hinges will...

Wanted a light duty jib crane to mount to a wall post. Plan was 200lb capacity with 10' reach and 180* swing. Friend of mine gave me a new 120v hoist he had no use for. Little overkill but the price was right. Made the bits for the hinges that mount to the post. Next dug through the misc...

Hans well done. I enjoy parkerizing and use it on all sorts of projects. Posted a couple years ago about the super simple DIY process I use. https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/custom-barrel-diy-parkerizing.282388/

I love the shape of that wheel! Very similar in styling to my wheel. If you are able it would great to see some machining pictures when you get to that stage. Line boring was a challenge for me on mine. Would love to see how an actual professional does it. Fantastic work!

Those countersunk holes are where the legs bolt to the table. You can also see a threaded hole through one of the fixture holes. Perhaps try assembling the table correctly and rechecking. I'm also a bit suspect of the unknown white material in the upper left of the picture that's between the...

You might want to try one of the Schumacher under hood battery maintainers. Seem to hold up just fine. I have them on a couple trucks, trailers and my tractor. The tractor spends its days sitting in an open faced loafing shed half covered in snow usually. The charger just mounts to the side of...

It took about 6 months from start to finish. Worked on it as time allowed. I should have made that clear in the first post. I had the same problem with my trailer as well. Welded up quick ramp just for loading the Clark.

Take it to a motor repair shop. I had an old lathe motor that all the wires were unmarked and a mess. Dropped it off at the local motor repair shop. Next day got it back with all the leads properly tagged. Cost $20.

When I was looking for info on mine that picture kept coming up. Cracks me up. :LOL: Thanks! And I love your IH 484 with a loader. That's a machine that can get stuff done.

You're on the right track. Similar to my setup. My compressor sits on a 120gal at ground level and is plumbed into an 80gal tank. The 80gal is about 8' high. The main trunk line comes off the 80gal tank. Both tanks have auto drains. It's also really important how you plumb your branch lines off...

That's what Clark calls it as well. The original inching master cylinder was obsolete and to retrofit it to the newer style was too expensive to justify doing. So I replaced it with a second brake master cylinder. The left pedal only works as a "clutch" now with no braking. Works perfectly fine...

I was worried at first too, but it zips around on the gravel with zero issues. It's not a very heavy machine that helps.

IndyGarage, I went through and replaced all needed seals and gaskets. It has the torque converter/ auto trans. The "clutch" just actuates a bypass valve. Pretty neat system. I got really lucky, the company I bought it from were the original owners and it came with all the factory manuals...
