    Your towing rigs and trailers

    This is my rig for towing my tractors and other toys. 2001 Ram 3500 5 speed 4x4, 24 valve. Zero complaints and has pulled anything I've hooked to it. Lately I put a I performance fuel filtration/pump system in it as well as a set of gauges to let me pull heavy without guessing on costly repairs.

    Anyone Had Or Know Anything About An Ariens Ta28 Tiller?

    I recently bought a Ariens Trans-A-Matic walkbehind rototiller from a guy. I don't really have any pictures of it except some dark ones from before I bought it.. It has a wisconsin TH, 2 cylinder engine on it, and a 28 inch cutting width. It needs a little work but seems to be in decent shape...

    Let's see your welds...

    Very good thread you got here and I am enjoying reading it. I'm probably one of those guys that just ran out and bought a welder so they can weld. Some of you guys are professionals so if you would put up with me as I learn, I'd appreciated it. I do have some pictures I took of some stuff I...

    My attempt at making a off-road trailer.

    Got some more done today. I set some boards on that we had sitting around and it looks like it will work great. 13 2x6x8 with no cutting. I left clearance so I can put larger wheels on in the future. This next one shows the angle iron I am putting around the edge. I drilled and tapped for...

    Got a little work done on it yesterday and today. Here are some more pictures. When I get some more 2 inch box tubing I am gonna cut the small box tubing back about a foot from the end of the larger and weld the 2 inch on the bottom out a little further and either use a pin hitch or a ball...

    Anyone collect rainwater.

    Since we get city water, watering is expensive and the chlorinated water can't be that good for the plants so we are trying to find ways to collect rainwater. Here are some photos of what we have got so far. Anyone is welcome to post what they have as well. We got one 1500 gallon tank hooked up...

    My attempt at making a off-road trailer.

    The bed is gonna get more cross members to stiffen it up. My plan is to hinge it at these points. and then at the front to let it rest on the piece that is braced in. Those small chunks of steel are just for a shim for the picture. Think it will work or do you think I'll get to much twist in...

    My attempt at making a off-road trailer.

    (I call it off-road cause I don't foresee getting it registered.) I haven't had a trailer and have wanted one for quite some time so I recently collected enough stuff to start welding one together. The only thing I regret thus far is not getting a truck axle instead of a car axle. I tend to...

    Ever had a 6 ply wheelbarrow tire?

    A year or two ago I salvaged a tire and axle from a wheelbarrow a neighbor was throwing out. The other day I got around to taking it apart and patching the tube. The rim is a two piece thing that bolts together. The tire is 6 ply :shocked: The front tires on my tractor are only 4ply. I can't...

    Pictures of you on your tractor

    Ok, I cheated a little here. This is not my tractor, but that's me driving. A friend lent us the tractor to work up about 3/4 acre of land for our garden. I'll see if I can find a picture of me on my tractor but there is not many pictures of me around with me on my tractor cause it's nothing...

    Power Steering as small hydraulics?

    I got a Power King tractor (similar in size to a farmall cub) and would like hydraulics to lift the 3 point. ( capacity aprox. 500lbs supposedly) Would it work to use a PS pump as the pump? I have one in the scrap bin and was wondering if it would work and how to hook it up. Thanks

    Small welding project

    Here is something I welded up today from some scrap. It is used for skimming the live coals off the top of the fine ashes in our wood stove. Our stove has no ash tray so we have to scoop the spent ashes out though the door. Not the greatest pictures but they should convey the idea. The pictures...

    Dog pics

    We have got two Standard Poodles; bother and sister. Their tails were bobbed before we got them as puppies. They are now a little over a year old. It does seem to bother the one dog especially. It does make the dogs look different with a full tail but I don't see the point to unnecessarily cut...

    A neighbor has a stone drive way that I didn't plow because the stones have not frozen yet and I didn't want to plow out all his stones. Although I may have to do it anyway depending on how much snow we get tonight. I live in east side of buffalo and am right on the edge of the storm. I think...

    No, it does not have a regular PTO. It has a pulley off the front of the engine for a mower deck, snowblower, and buzz saw, and a mid pulley for cycle bar mower and hydraulic pump. There was a PTO made that would go from the front pulley to the back but I do not have one. I may make one at some...

    Frost has killed my garden

    Well here is my attempt at drawing. This is the basic idea of what we had and it seemed to bend the pipe farely well. If it doesn't make any sense I can try again. If people want a more detailed account of the hoop house project I can start a new thread and describe it in more detail.

    Frost has killed my garden

    In the winter the daytime temp. is probably around 40 and maybe on a good day 50?.(I have not seen a measurement yet) It gets plenty cold at night but the ground never freezes in there the whole winter. If it were heated it would be quite warm. The hoop house handles the snow well so far. We...
