Long time since an update -- Well I purchased a small mill to play with its a Jet 8x30 and alot heavier than I first thought it was going to be thats for sure. Now need to get DRO and some more tooling to play with..

My 7 year old Son started pulling this last weekend and could not be more happy with how he did came home with a 1st and 2nd place - Not Bad for his first time... Now he's hooked and can't wait to go pulling again. Also informed me we need to repaint his tractor to RED - green won't cut it..
Had to clean the trailer and make sure all the lights worked before the first pull and get the Blue one cleaned up ready to go aswell..

Well after a week and a half of burning the midnight oil - I got my sons tractor painted Red per his request.. He's so proud of his new pulling tractor since it's red... Now how do I get all the over spray off the concrete any suggestions?

Anyone have an Idea or way to get paint overspray off concrete floor?

Awesome stuff man! Love the shop, love the Driveway and especially love the Red Tractors.

Go rent a floor buffer and use a pad for cleaning concrete, and maybe something like ajax or something? That would be my best bet. What kind of paint did you use? Did you use hardner?

Would love to get into pulling but I've got too many expensive hobbies already. Here's my tractor I use to pull a wagon around, spread fertalizer, etc.

Very nice shop, im trying to build one very similar. I saw your post in another thread about the heater, I think that's what im going to do with mine also. Can you elaborate please on how the heater has been working? Too hot? Too cold? Did it take the paint off your cars? (like I keep hearing) Moisture problems? Any info would be great.

Also, can you take a pic of how they did the trim at the bottom of the walls near the man door? Im doing liner panels as well and I bought base trim, but its kinda funky, just curious how the pros did it.

Thanks again.

Sorry - The heater works great I have never had any issues with Moisture in the building when the heat is running - It is vented to the outside. Not sure why others are having moisture issues? It heats very well and is quiet, park a snow covered vehicle in there and in a matter of a few hours its all melted. I leave the shop 60* almost all winter and it bearly runs. I can take some pics of the base trim they used (I think it was the same as they used outside at the bottom of the panels)

Very good, thank you.

Also how many BTU is your heater? I don't think I saw it?

 

[newhollandpuller]

the heater is a two stage 75K and 50K BTU.

 

[bullnerd]

Thanks

 

[newhollandpuller]

No problem

New Addition to the pulling fleet - should make for an interesting Summer.

 

[newhollandpuller]

It has been awhile since I updated any info - Just finished up a customers tractor before the Winter Nationals (Qualified # 4 and finished 13th out of 70) not bad for maiden runs.
