Happy New Year! I haven't been on the forum for awhile but thought you might be interested in the size of vessels they build in Alberta. Dacro is one the premier vessels builders. 318ft. long and 1,760,000lbs! Crews prepare to move tower as tall as CFL football field out of Edmonton

Kind of by fluke I came across welders that are run by hydraulic power. I could run one off my skid steer. http://www.genscoequip.com/admin/products/attachments/catalogue-2016-hwg.pdf The world's only commercial duty hydraulically powered welders

I'm building a 1/4 mile motorcycle flat track and need to get it as level as possible. I got a Frontier LP1184 landplane to try out and it does OK but the first blade piles the loose clay up on the frame. Is this normal? I know some landplanes have higher sides with the frame mounted higher and...

I don't come on the forum too much anymore but hoping everyone had a Merry Christmas and has a Happy New Year. I see Shield Arc and a few others are still posting so you're in good hands.

Looks like Lance AKA ChuckE2009 is getting out of welding videos and is going farming. Bought a house a couple years ago. Has a Kubota tractor and says it cost him about 70K to get set up and he got the money from his welding video's. Looks like he made out like bandit with his video's and he...

I figure Shield Arc or other welders might have some insight on some odd things about my SA 200. I hadn't run it since last year but picked up a new battery and cables cause the old battery was shot and the cables were corroded. Should have bought a little longer cables but hooked them up on the...

I put up a pole shed last year and haven't finished the grading on the outside or put the gravel screenings in for the floor. It is kind of sloped away but we just had a big rain and I noticed the clay inside is soaking up the rain water about 2-2 1/2' inside the building on one side. Will the...

The fire that went through Ft. McMurray has burned 101,000 hectares and they said it could double in size by tomorrow! Glad I'm in Edmonton and not up there. 80,000+ people evacuated. The fire is creating it's own weather and there isn't much rain in the forecast for where it's heading...

I need some help with a frustrating problem that is driving me nuts. The fuel gauge in my 135 UK diesel was intermittent and then would only read a little above empty. I ordered a new sending unit and it was apparently the only one listed for a 135 UK. The arm for it was too low and hit the tank...

A couple of weeks ago I got a call from a sales girl at the dealership I got my truck from in Jan. 2012 saying they are looking for trades if I might be interested. I thought what the heck I'll see what they say. Went in 2 Saturdays ago not really expecting much and certainly not intending to...

I know you have a Magnum SG spool gun for your V-350 Pro and was wondering how it's hooked up. I tried looking online and it was useless and Lincoln tech support was closed for the day. I called Lincoln in Calgary and the idiot there gave a sales reps number. It should take 10 seconds to find...

My wallet is getting worn and I need a new one but all the ones I looked at are too darn small to fit credit cards or bank cards etc. Even for standard business cards they're hard to get in. Is there anywhere to get a wallet that has a little larger slots for cards? It's annoying as heck.

I could use some expertise and/or experience. I'm having a pole shed put up and will be taking some items out of a rip off storage facility. There are a couple items of furniture and a few boxes I need to mouse proof until I build a small type office in the pole shed. I might make it up on a...

Got the appraisal done on the property I want to put a pole building on. I hope the woman I'm dealing with at the Credit Union likes humble pie. The appraisal came in considerably more than anticipated. She was acting like she's stretching every dime and can only finance 50% of the value less...

Can a belt loose it's tension/stretch just because it's old? I have Sicma 72" finish mower that used to work to work great at my old place but I haven't used it for quite a few years. I bought the mower new. Now it seems that even if I tighten the belt it just stretches and starts slipping...
