Need ideas for locating a reducing right angle gear box (like bush hogs have) for a trencher project we're working on. The trencher will be a ground saw design, but capable of going 18" deep. It will be hydraulic drive, to mount on the front of a power trac. thanks, Billy

Both are AC/DC Stick. I already have a small wire welder (Linc.) And now want a stick for the thick stuff. I've narrowed it between these two: Lincoln Miller Thanks, Billy, out.

Anyone have any ideas on how to make fold down sides for a 12' flatbed dump? I'm thinking of using round stock for the hinge, and c-channel for the standers; need help on the latches. Also swinging barn doors for the rear. Thanks.

Here is a very cool use for the homemade forks I have. Gas powered straw blower mounted on a pallet, carried around on the pt. We can cover about 30k Sqft in an hour. :D

I bought a 3pt hitch 6' box blade Saturday. So far its my favorite attachment, I can use it with my 3 pt hitch adaptor. It is so easy to drop it in float and gently tilt the box to dig or drop the dirt. These pics are from a job site where we had to repair the grounds where heavy equip. tore...

Step One. I mounted a $50.00 fan on the side where the muffler is located. This will help pull the mufflers heat away, and help pull air from the rear where the induction will be after I make it. ;) ..more to come

Tiller. The ground is hard as a rock and full of rocks here. I've broken several teeth bolts, but no teeth yet. I'm replacing the bolts with stronger ones.

I'm seriously considering buying a tiller (72") for the PT. Who here has one and how do you like it? Also which direction does it spin?

It occured to me today, I only post about the 1850 when it breaks down. It impresses mt a lot too, but I never talk about that, LOL. Go to any leadership seminar or read a like book, and it will say positive affirmation makes good employees better. So its probably human nature to focus on...

Any of u who run turf type tires.. Do you have many flats? I wonder if the more tread would help. I tried higher bias ditch witch type tires but they won't hold up either. Anyone know the make, size and ply of the factory PT turf tires?

Instead of spending $500.00 plus on a new Deutz alternator imported from germany, I decided to retrofit a "one wire" chev. unit to the contraption. I used a ford 300 six cyclinder alternator bracket for the lower and made the upper bracket. I removed the Deutz idler pulley, and used the...

These are the heaters that sit outside your home, up to 100 feet away, burn wood which heats water up to around 200 degrees. The water is then plumbed underground to inside your house to a core which is sandwiched between your original heater and squirrel fan. A separate thermostat controls the...

I'll have to call Monday and see how much and if available. But If its way high, I'm thinking about plumbing a hydr. motor to spin a chev. alternator and rewire it. Probably why the electrical sys. is junk on the Pt anyway, I don't think the Duetz alternator can handle the electrical system...

I priced a Hyd. Top Link and hoses for my JD 4720 , it was around $1,000.00. This seems high just for a cyclinder...this isn't a tilt kit, just the one cyclinder to replace the top link. I want to use my new rear aux. remotes. Seems like there would be a cheaper way to go than this. ? -Thanks.

Is there anyone who makes a reverser for the PTRo? I want to make my tiller reverse rotate. Or am I gonna have to spend big money on a new reverse rotation tiller. :( - Thanks.
