Farmall-IH Workshop

[farmcat]

After the 1st day, two guys, they got a lot accomplished

Im curious about something in the pics, at the bottom of the sheathing, there is a small gap on one side of the building, where the trailer is parked. But, there is not the same gap on the other sides of the building with the door entries. Just curious why that would be there, is it something to do with finishing with a full sheet at the top of the wall?

 

[farmcat]

it will lock in better having the seams staggered, and for finishing with full sheets

 

[farmcat]

day two of framing....walls are all up and sheathing on. Door headers are all in. Now we wait for the trusses coming a week from tomorrow. The boys will be back next week and start on the lean too in the front. and get ready for the trusses

 

[farmcat]

An update with photos of the last week. Picked up a little forklift for $300..runs but needs a couple bearings in the steering box...pretty easy fix.

 

[farmcat]

Had the lawn hydro-seeded and grass is showing already...Very Happy!!

 

[farmcat]

Today the builders came back and started on the shed overhang. Best of all the trusses showed up today.

 

[Carl_WI]

I wish I would have used attic truss in my shop. Nice progress. How much pitch is on the overhang?

 

[farmcat]

The main roof is 10/12 and the overhang is 6/12

 

[farmcat]

Trusses are going up today, thought I would share the pics.

 

[farmcat]

more pics from today

 

[farmcat]

Just and FYI, these are two piece trusses, the 2nd part of the trusses will go up tomorrow

 

[CNGsaves]

LOVE the trusses to maximize the space in attic.

You plan on having big door on outside so you can get stuff up there ??
Will the forklift reach up that high ??

Keep pics coming !! Great shop.

Yes, I'm planning on building carriage doors on both ends that will open up to
8 feet. The forklift wont reach...I'll admit I didn't check the lift height before I bought it. I think I'm going to finish fixing it and sell it to get one with a higher lift.

 

[farmcat]

This weeks update, finished the trusses and sheathing the roof. This week will be finishing the gable ends, shingling the roof, prepping the floor for concrete and pouring.

[Sunbimmer]

Just WOW !!!

 

[farmcat]

Big day tomorrow.... The floor gets poured!!! spent the last couple nights putting down the vapor barrier and the 2in insulation. Also dug in a little deeper for where the 10K lift will be going so there is 12in of concrete 4x4 square for each post.

 

[farmcat]

The floor was poured today and expansion joints will be cut tomorrow.

 

[farmcat]

The floor is all in and usable!!! This weekend we hung the garage doors, the walk in doors and windows. Got some of the siding up to mount the meter box. Now to concentrate on the roof.

Can I rent a room and a place for my IH 1200C and two Scouts? I would also need you to be ok with my wife visiting.

Your 1200C and scouts would be welcome. They can keep my 1200C, 1600 loadstar, R185, 5 Farmalls, 1 IH, and 5 cub cadets company. Wives are allowed to visit.

 

[BajaScout]

No Scouts? Guess I can't say anything. Other than a 2 inch tall 1086, I don't have any IH tractors. Wish I did.

Yes, I do have a scout, a 67 800 v8 in Sheridan, WY that I need to get home.

 

[BajaScout]

That should round out the stable. I have a 64 80 (4 cyl) and a 69 800 Aristocrat (304).

Lived in Deaver Wyoming for one year (1978).

 

[farmcat]

Roofer came in yesterday, started around 2pm and in a couple hrs they have already got so much done. It's definitely a good idea to leave some things to a professional.

 

[farmcat]

This weekend the roof was finished, major hurdle accomplished. 44 squares of shingles. Now to concentrate on the siding and electrical.

Nice build. I love seeing the old iron you're going to be working on in there too. I'm a wannabe tractor guy. I have an 08 New Holland 2420. That attic storage is excellent.

 

[farmcat]

Got some siding done on the front

 

[nsula_country]

Subscribed to this build... I have old iron too. 1963 IH/Farmall 504 diesel with aftermarket wfe and a 2008 Koyker loader modified with Skid steer QA and 3rd circuit for grapple. Also have a 1968 Allis Chalmers 180 project. Truck project is 1979 C20. Cannot wait to see your projects kick off!

My build is here. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=313043

Enjoying!

Awesome to see some other IH/Scout fans here! I have 4 of them myself.....Three 1972 II's (one being a parts truck), and an 800b Comanche. Would love to find an Aristocrat one day!

Almost finished with this one.

Love this build! What kind of shelving is that? Looks very interesting. Wood/steel combo?

 

[farmcat]

Wow, great looking shop! Shelving and everything.

I also like the IH brand.

Started in 1977 driving a Loadstar 1650 my boss rented to PennDot for snow removal.
Helped build the IH Registry Cub cadet site in 2001. It crashed and I started www.cubcadetcollectors in 2010.

Currently the herd consist of a 1961 Original Cub Cadet, a 149 HE (High Extended) Cub Cadet custom build and a Farmall 140 (for sale).

 

[farmcat]

Love that Farmall 140, where are you located ?

[Farmall Cub]

I'm in Southwest PA.

It's a good runner. I bought it off the local church where I do grounds. Used to cut 4 acres with a Woods belly mower. Loved the sound pulling the hills in second. Sold the mower a couple years ago, mistake, coulda had the tractor sold if it still had the mower. It has a full size pickup snow plow which does great on the driveway but I have a new Yanamr for that now.
I bought it with the intention of restoring it but that hasn't happened and I don't like them just sitting around not getting used.

 

[farmcat]

Got the two carriage doors built to fill the hole you see that's covered by the tarp. Now to fill screw holes, sand, seal and paint.
