    Craftsman Garden Tractor - Model #917.273050

    Yeah besides the Garden Tractor not being the first choice on your 15 foot wide drive a 4 foot wide blade isn't optimal. You know yourself that once you clear a path you wind up going over that path at least overlapping it. Conditions vary also and depending on where you live and what kind of...

    Craftsman Garden Tractor - Model #917.273050

    You bring up a very good point! It wouldn't be my first choice for Snow Plowing either. With my experience and seeing many non experience plow operators as the snow gets stacked up drivers try to push the pile besides pushing too much snow and you could very easily over work or damage the...

Great Mower and I pull a Cyclone Rake Leaf Machine behind it plus a garden tractor trailer for yard work but No Plow. I could see it being done with a few alterations and I understand...

    Sump Pump Gurus Step Inside

    Yeah I totally get it. Also as a young man I was wondering which way was the proper way until we thought about it and was taught at a young age that water rises and we went from there making money fixing others mistakes and re installing their upside down pipes! LOL! LtF

    Sump Pump Gurus Step Inside

    Maybe your talking about PVC Drain Tile which came about in our area in the Late 70's as we started using it and people weren't sure which direction to point the holes. Rule of thumb naturally was DOWN, as Water rises. I always preferred the 3 hole at 6 o'clock and 4 and 8 o'clock. Verses the 2...

    What do you wish you had done differently when you built your shop?

    Good Points. When I picked out my 3 doors years ago I had commercial doors installed each with two eye level oval clear Lexan plastic anti Fog/scratch double pain windows and they add a lot of extra light as needed during the day. Not too big for security reasons but just enough that I like...

    Best small tool tote for small projects?

    As much as I like the choice you made for a glorified tool tote. I personally can't and won't put down $200 Bucks for that when a simple bag at Harbor Freight for $5 bucks will do the same thing! I have bought several and have different bags for different jobs and have organized them...

    What do you wish you had done differently when you built your shop?

    As my previous post was getting long and I had something to take care of I didn't finish that I was able to include heat and cool in the Garage as needed along with Ventilation/exhaust fan's to circulate air and remove fumes/smoke/odor as needed. Hot and Cold water with a deep slop sink was a...

    Metal Building Venting

    Besides adding venting and trying to let some of the Hotter trapped air at the ceiling out, I think I would look into possibly adding some Solar powered Ceiling fans to keep the air moving inside of the Building! With all that Sunshine at your disposal it's kind of a no brainier to me. In my...

    Sump Pump Gurus Step Inside

    Anytime we're gluing any kind of PVC pipe we always use 2 coats of the specified cleaner with the provided dauber and it not only cleans but softens the pipe and really allows the glue to weld itself together with the pipe! LtF

    Craftsman 12 inch Bandsaw Model # 113.243411 replacement parts questions.

    I had a similar problem and I went on Ebay and found a couple 12 INCH Band Saw Tires,(belts) for $34.95. Listed under Blue Max Urethane Band Saw Tires with Model #113.243411 I'm very happy with them! The original craftsman part #41815, (belts) wasn't available. Good Luck. LtF

    Low Profile Mini Fuse

    I ordered the Kit! Even if he trades it in it'll only take me about an hour like you said! It's the right thing to do! Not sure if they include a relabel of the #27 re locate to another spot. (Looks like possibly the white stickers are exactly for that purpose). I'm big on properly marking...
