    Ford 8N starter issues

    Hi folks, my father in law passed away around 6 months ago and my brother in law took over the place. It came with an old 8N that was converted to 12v a bunch of years ago. It runs good and until recently it started with no trouble. The other day he shut it off and came back a few minutes later...

    3pt concrete ballast build for logging/firewood

    I got mine from the local batch plant. $35. After this pic was taken, I cut off the excess forks and welded in a piece of channel with a receiver welded to it. I got the 3 point forklift off C/L for $50.

    Great work "poster"

    Sorry but, I'll have to call BS. I think the problem is to many college graduates, especially the ones who have the "I have a degree therefore I deserve to work half as much for twice the pay and be the boss!!" mentality. Do we need college educated people? Hell yes but, we need workers who can...

    Any way to weld the thin metal on tractors and attachments?

    I have an old Lincoln Weld-pac 100 I use for thin stuff. I "stich weld" it One little spot ever 1/2 inch then go back and move a little and get it again untill the weld is continuous. Very little warping. I can generally use a shrinking hammer and dolly to get it back in shape. A little...

    Should the community make the rules?

    I have this particular member (steppedinaufulstuff) blocked for very similar reasons. He has nothing to offer that I am interested in.

    Should the community make the rules?

    Also perhaps a category titled "anything goes, enter at your own risk" Just a thought.

    Should the community make the rules?

    I voted no with a caveat. I would like to be notified of my infraction when (not if) I commit and I want my infraction public. Perhaps a separate category for public infraction notifications and punishment. I believe this will keep the management honest and even.

    Truck rant. And don't know what to do.

    I've had many trucks through the years. For me, it all boils down to this. If you want a good truck for work, get a Dodge. If you want a good truck for play, get a Chevy. If you want a good truck you have to work ON, get a Ford. This is only my opiniun from years of personal experience and LUCK!
