    Weather vane

    Nice job.......I'm sure she will be pleased. I picked up this "Man of Steel" at a garage sale, added the platform (I didn't want to puncture a hole in the roof), flag and pole. I replace the flag every year and give him a fresh coat of paint. He's been on alert for at least 8 years. The cape...

    A few simple mods.

    Very simple..... I have a shoulder injury and find it hard to adjust the 3 pt. with the short factory handle. My son suggested an extension and this is my solution. I had these old broken tree prunning loppers laying around that looked like they may work. I chop sawed the arm and it fits over...

    Box Scraper  Box Blade help

    Just bought a old Gannon Rollover box blade to put on my L48. I purchased the L48 with a backhoe attached and as it turns out the 3 pt hitch was never used by the previous owner(s) so a learning curve to detach the backhoe and attach the 3 pt hitch and box blade was involved.

    Bucket Hooks  Grab Hook question

    Hello, I'm looking for idea on where to mount/weld 2 grab hooks on a Kubota 1747 bucket. The bucket has a round top edge. If I drill the bucket to bolt on backing plates should I put a plate inside the bucket also? Will 1/4" backing plates be sufficient? Anyone done this or seen it done? Any...

    Would like input about "Eastwood Brand" MIG welder

    I'm going to purchase a 240v Mig in the not too distant future and am doing diligence into all product lines. The further into the process the more confused I am. The competitions from China and elsewhere offer similar models as the all the big brands and the prices are similar until you get...
