Thanks for waiting guys. ;) Gone for 2 weeks, come back to 35+ pages of missed TBN posts. Just came back from the farm, :D finally got a land line set up out there. I wont say much but when we arrived after not being there a month, it was obvious some security was needed, so the best we had...

I think that it would be very important to slime the pins on a machine like a b.h. that is under heavy stress in dirty wet conditions all its life. And I think most I see are. That said my pins are not greaseable and the dealer says not to tap them as they are solid pins with no grease gallery...

I call it the cab imprisonment system, if you have one of these truck you likley know they lock you in when apx 20km speed is reached. This drives me nuts for fencing and other farm chores, I walk around to the passenger side and the doors locked:mad: keys in the IGN. To whoever recomended me...

I have to rebuild the steel pads that my trench chain rides on. (pics below) I would also like to experiment with building up the teeth although thats not really worth all the grinding involved. The chain rides on the bar that will be built up, would too hard of a weld material wear on the...

Snapped these on our last trip down the trans canada hwy. Hard to get top quaility on a 110km road but there still neat. My buddy at the base in Shilo said they are destined for Alberta, to be used in more training exersices, then most will be sent overseas. I seem to have missed pics of...

Ive seen it done with forklifts but does anyone actually back a trailer onto another trailer? I cant afford to buy a decent horse trailer right now and a friend has offered to lend me her 2 horse trailer, so I can get them to greener pastures. To save running empty and making an extra trip, I...

I had hoped to start a thread named "all conditions met" or "Shows on the road". However when my wife and I returned from a moving trip to the farm, our realtor informed us that the buyers couldnt obtain financing. So the deal fell and were back on the market. :( But, Looking for the good...

How do they rate them? I bought the PA 3-ton version and I cant belive its only rated to 3-ton, thats still 6000# right? it weighs 24# and can accept 3/4" wire rope. my winch is 10000# with 1/2" rope. double line pull would in theory allow a 20000# pull, true? so the snatch block...

Never heard of it but its a sweet looking unit. Looks pretty tough. SHIBAURA tractor ;)If you have time check out some of the Right hand drive motorcycles on that site;)

Where to buy and whats a good price? (im in Alberta) Today I bought 1/0gauge wire at 3.49/ft, 60ft came to 210$. Seems really high. 2/0gauge was 4.50/ft I went looking for winch wire and new welding cables but didnt need the welding cables bad enough to pay 3.49 for 200ft. Where do the...

I didnt want to hijack kossetx's drill thread, but has anyone used an old 12volt cordless drill and converted it to run "corded" from a vehicals 12v power? I havent seen a new 12v drill in years so the old drills should be a dime a dozen with a box of dead batterys.

Im late to the odb code reader party. I think I finally NEED one enough to spend the money. Some I have seen are cabable of reading live data from many sensors while you are driving. Which brought me to this (well priced) Maxitrip Auto Computer. Unlike a typical code reader this mounts on...

Anyone have one? Im interested in knowing the lift capacity of it. I know it will lift a full bucket of rocks, but what if I used it as a hoist? Theres not much for markings on it, can you determine hydraulic strength by cylinder diameter and length?

How do you remove sticker adhesive without damaging paint. The stickers were about 8"high X 2.5ft long, and they were put on when the paint was very fresh. The stickers are off but most of the glue remains and if I dont get it off im afraid they will be covered in dust and almost impossible...
