Menards 24x50 pole barn. They include a box a 60d 6" nails and don't tell you how many you need to use. I'm wanting to use Spax construction lags instead of the nails.
So here's my thinking, 25lb snow load, 10lb dead weight, add in a buffer, so lets say 40lbs x 24 x 50 = 48000lbs of potential...
Barn has an existing shingle roof and cupola. I'm going over top of the shingles with metal. Been googling it and can't find a reference on how to flash the cupola. Best I can figure is that I need to remove it, put down the metal and then reinstall it so the flashing sits on top of the new...
Alright, finally got to messing with it. It would not tap black into place with a wood block and hammer. Tried with a piece of aluminum and a hammer and it went back in pretty easily. Some water did come out as I pushed the ring in. Moved a round bale with it today and nothing seems to be any...
I've owned this tractor for quite a while and just noticed this ring slightly popping out of the loader cylinder. Do I give it a little tap or let it be since it's still working?
Thanks guys, I'll look at these options. The reason I'm not using a hinge is it's in a 14' section of my barn that I use for sheep. Working them around a swinging gate would be a pain in this location. I also like to crowd them in this area for worming and stuff, with a slide gate I can kick...
No but cheaper, plus in my case I already own both. A new spreader at TSC is around $500, here in Michigan a cultipacker is $700-1200 in the 8-12' range. On the other hand you are getting towards the price point of an older double disk drill at this point.
I don't need a full paneled standard barn door. Right now I'm sliding this gate back and forth along the ground. Wondering if any hardware exists to do something like this and make it smoother? I've tried googling it but now that everyone is putting barn doors in their house, that's all the...
What about spreading and using a cultipacker? I have a field that I'd like to get a little more into and I've been brainstorming on how to do it. Was thinking of using a spreader and cultipacker but waiting until next spring when the ground is a little mushy.
The red feed fork is hitting the frame on the downward stroke. Bandaid fix would be to cut a notch where it's been hitting. Any ideas for an actual fix? There's a nut pictured below on top of the rail that the feed forks are on. I found that completely loose. If I tightened that I could see it...
Looking at cheap used box scrapers to maintain a gravel driveway. So far I've just been using a back blade on it. Someone I was talking to said the teeth make ruts you don't want. That's why you see them flipped upside down a lot of times. Thing is my driveway is starting to have large rocks...
This is the fuel tank I use to fill the tractors.
I'd like to hardline in a filter with water trap like this.
I currently use a portable 12v pump to get the fuel, has a 3/4" rubber line that I drop in through the fill neck. When I'm done with the pump I put it in a plastic tote and put it...
Decided I want my own tire changer and balancer setup. Biggest tire I'd want to do is a Case 970 front tire(10.00-16), would be nice to be able to do ATV tires and of course basic car/pickup tires to include some lower profile car tires on 17" wheels. I started looking at used stuff on...
Picked up a used livestock trailer. When I asked the seller about hooking on the safety chain he said it just loops in front of the ball. Initially it seemed like a good idea but the more I've thought about it I don't like the idea of it. Big enough bump that causes the ball to unhook could pop...
New to me New Holland 258 rake. Went and tried it out and it was clicking quite a bit while using it. That quickly turned into not working at all. I undid the axle from the wheel and found I could spin it by hand while it clicked away. Opened up the box to have a look around and nothing really...
