Looks like a Bob cat. Pics. I took before letting it go from a live trap.

This is the repair I made that waited until spring to get back filled & not leaving the water running with just a couple pieces of 2" blue sm Styrofoam and covered the hole with plywood. In the spring back filled to within a 1' of the surface with sand then top soil. This avoided setting.

I love working in the woods this time of year but find it a struggle to get started when it's cold but within 1/2 hr. I'm warm and happy. Butchering up that big cedar i posted along with a doz. or so others. Got most of my order for cedar 4 x 8's done 1 doz. 8' and 24 - 12 ' just 14 more 12' to...

I'd love to have them even trade for this cedar.

The draw bar worked well on my 8,000# trailer with a 19HP case tractor. I know have a 27HP & use the 3 point The draw bar is kind of low so I had to raise the ball when I used it. Also it's real hard to see where your going when using the tractor I've considered making up a quick attach mirror.

Finally after 2 summers & nearly 400 hrs. of having dust blow up in my face from the exhaust I did something about it today. Was a little trickier than the last tractor I had but not to bad.18" of flex pipe ( that's the longest they will sell it here) & 4' of tail pipe. The writing on the pipe...

I'm not a real welder though I have done a lot over the years and have repaired a few of those benches using just a stick welder with rod for cast iron. Buying a box is very expensive but some places you can buy just a couple rods for maybe $5 each. I works so well you have a hard time finding...

It's got to the point this will be my last year designing and installing systems I dislike all the paper work & we are expected to constantly take up grade courses to gain credits. My expenses to do this & maintain a stamp add close to $1,000 to every system . It's this sort of system that...

I have to agree with oosik on the fabric infiltrators are designed so it is not necessary. As for D boxes the only ones I've never had to replace are the plastic ones & I only recommend Polyloc D boxes as they are well built. I cannot add to the good advice as for how they should be placed 00sik...

I would definitely go with a D box. I don't have your info for calculating the proper hydraulic loading rate for your field but a level D box with speedy levers so each run gets equal distribution. The chambers are louvered so infiltration of native soil isn't a problem. If the soil is such that...

The Hummers here have been going through 4 lts. a day in the 2 large feeders we put up. Like a regular airport out side my office window.

Something like this would work good for a dump station no bottom in it and you could back fill with drain rock within a ft. or so of the surface. Often a septic tank isn't in a convenient place to get the RV near a clean-out. It would last many years before needing to get pumped.

This shed is 14' deep ,16' between posts in front 6x12" beam,ruff 2x6 rafters 2' centers full 1x6" strapping 12" centers 12' high in front 8' at back approx. 3/12 pitch. Building is 10 years old now and had over 5' of heavy snow a few times no sags & no leaks. Metal roof with heavy felt paper...

Decided the last time I loaded my tractor it was time for a new deck. So found a bit fir knocked it down and made some planks a full 2" x 12" & 14". When I bought this trailer new 10 years ago the sales man told me it was a 6,000 lb. trailer but I questioned him because it had 8 bolt 10 ply...

Still not sure which one you mean to only split ones I have seen are the black ones but here's a couple more pics.

This one?

Haven't taken any pics. yet this year. When it's cold out at night they come until after dark & start again at day break. Some times there's enough hummers to empty 2 of these feeders a day.

Put up a Humming bird feeder less than an hr. ago and already had one visit it couldn't believe my eyes they usually don't show up until the 15th or later. Must be the beautiful warm weather we've been experiencing.

Riding on the upright sounds like a plan you can make something to carry some felt sweepers to keep the track clean as well. I lube my felts with diesel and chain oil mix to keep the pitch off. Round log posts work well because you don't have to lift them out to turn them around for holding...

Richard I'll see if I can find some you can visualize and if they interest you I'll get the measurements of the material sizes. Out of hundreds of mill pics. I don't seem to have many of the dogs check through the pics. in Photo bucket there may be more. Mean while I can take some descent...

Made a couple extra log posts for my mill so here's a pic. to give you an alternative idea. I think it's 1.25" tubing. It can be flipped around to still hold when sawing down to 1" material.

It has to be simple just finding where you have a fault in the power can be time consuming.

I sent the chain guy the size of my tires and the chains came perfect no extra links took 1/2 hr. to install they were nice and tight and after 4 tanks of fuel still no necessary.

Bob112 I have no membrane between the metal and fiberglass just a 3/4" space the strapping provides. When I sheet with board and batt over the strapping I first put tar paper but still maintain the space to the insulation. Over the years I've remodeled or renovated building during winter where...

Bob112 don't know if this helps answer your question but my shop has metal ,1x4 strapping, fiberglass insul, 6 mil poly then drywall last year after 23 years I took the end out of the building to add on and everything was a dry and sound as the day it was built. With R40 in the ceiling during...

Seen this in the dollar store and thought my Kioti just had to have it stuck on with 2 sided tape.

My CK27 with 150 hrs. decided not to start a couple days ago . Turns over fast enough to bring the oil pressure up in 5 sec. and all the lights work. Fuel is good but not a lick of smoke out of the exhaust. I've eliminated it down to the fuel shut off solenoid . With the backhoe I can over ride...

Jim I find it amazing how fast I've turned into a ***** :) this was my daily schedule only a couple yrs. ago. Now it's mostly playing in the workshop.

This is the third cup hold I've made for equipment and I think this one turned out the best. I used a ABS coupler. After installing it I went up the mt. for a bucket of fire wood and it held and worked great with easy access. I've considered buying one in the past but never found any that...

Stuck a 45 W LED on the back of my tractor & since the wires were handy right next to the original power supply I plugged them in to come on with my headlights. I only use the tractor to plow my own place with a 3 point plow so it can stay on with the headlights and not bother anyone. If it...

Got a soft top made just finished yesterday in time for snowplowing today nice to be undercover. Not as fancy as some but I like to take it off easy first thing in the spring & this ones simple. Made this bracket to bolt on where I think there's a frame under the tractor for a mower. Right...

Looks like a N. Flicker.

Nice job on your tractor they are a very good machine I had an 1130 for 24 yrs. just sold it. It was used for logging,forks for loading logs,road building, brush hogging and plowing snow. Total cost of repair parts approx. $1,200 over the yrs. Over all a very well made tractor.

In the last 5 yrs. I've installed over 200 water meters & seen almost every kind of water line imaginable. A short time after meters are installed I get a lot of calls once the bills start coming in for water usage to fix leaks that have been ignored or just not aware ( in sandy or gravel...

Bought this in 1973 and it still keeps coffee hot all day. When I was logging in the winter I'd put it in a wool sock and the coffee would would still burn your mouth at afternoon coffee break.

Since joining I've seen a few comments on slopes so today I decide to check a few of the slopes I drive on nearly a daily bases. There is one I have to have something in the front bucket to keep the front wheels on the ground but it's been raining so I never checked it out to see the max. slope...

Best results I've had are with fiberglass resin with matting on the back then you can finish the face side with body filler for painting. It will stick just fine to plastic as I did the propane tank cover for our trailer. The hood of my dump truck was all cracked up around the head lights and I...

Well sold my Case 1130 last wk.I think it gave me very good service over the last 24 yrs. the only hydraulic lines replaced were for the power steering. Total cost of parts over the yrs. under 1,200 over than 2 sets of front tires.

Any roof over the mill is better than no roof I put this up while waiting for my NW mill in 2000.

My shop is 30' x 42' 9' ceilings 12' insulation in the ceiling and 4" in 2x4 walls metal siding over 1x4 strapping & metal roof. 1 window with no direct sunlight insulated over head dr. and when it's 90 - 100 out side it's 68 inside. After working in there 6 or 7 hrs.it gets up to as high as...

Took my tractor to a part of our property I visit seldom and found this growing there a bird or something must have dropped the sweat pea seed.

My middle son lives in Kimberly and that was one of their friend's houses the bear ventured into. I've taken pictures of over 25 different bears in our back yd. in the last 20 yrs. and get alone with them much better than wasps and mosquitoes. We've had them in the garage after the sunflower...

I have this weed growing and was wondering if anyone here could help identify it. Thank you, Bill

A lot of discussion on water lines and yesterday my wife notices low pressure in the house. It's been hot and dry here for mons. and we've been watering every day. I have a 1,200 gal. concrete reservoir fed from an underground spring ( so I don't have to use the well 350' deep 40 gal. per min.)...

Not sure how many hummers here but they go through 4 quarts of syrup every couple days when in full swing. Took these pics. of my youngest sister who was so intrigued by them she stood there for hrs. every day.

The shaft in my hydraulic pump snapped and I've been finding it difficult to find a new pump. It's for a 1991 - 1130 case tractor . I was told this no. is also the same pump 1992043C2 I've contacted a few parts suppliers on the internet but have had no return reply's. Any ideas would...

A lot of individuals come here who have never packed or repaired a cylinder so since I had one to do I thought a few pics. may help at least as a confidence builder for anyone wishing to tackle this job.I'm no professional or mechanic but have done a 1/2 doz. or so , so helpful suggestions...

This was my last experience with a boom cylinder. And be very careful when not having a guard on a angle grinder.

Here's a few pics. maybe a little different than others but gives an idea of what to expect. I seen another post where there was a much better explanation of this repair with pics.

Well today for the first time in wks. it was raining so time to do 1st oil change in front dif. around 100 or so hrs. on Kioti CK27. It was real nice to be able to fit the tractor into a heated shop this morning out of the cold and damp. Not a lot of room for tractors as it's a wood working...

First baby I've seen at the feeder he was having trouble sitting on the perch.

Since I bought the Kioti I haven't liked the height of the ROP ( 8' ). Yesterday was the day I'm not a professional welder ( fabricator) so had a little apprehension not that it wouldn't be solid but that it would still fit and not look top bad. I've learned from welders in coffee shops and...

Nothing fancy like some here but got a start on a few things.Moved the small tool box to the front and put a larger one on the back. Only had a step on one side so made another one. Made a bracket and bolted it to existing one that all rwady had threaded holes to hole my chain saw. The chain...

I've never tried it but maybe an infrared heat gun could give an indication of where the tank is since the ground will be warmer there. Just a thought and the guns are cheap. I'm not sure how others do it but I not only do detailed drawings but I also take pics. every step of the way and give...

3rd wk. of cleaning up limbs first from the heavy snow we had now for a big wind. Today it was around the mill. As usual my 2 companions were keeping an eye on me

There are many opinions posted here on the subject & rather than offend I suggest looking up on line how to maintain septic systems on line. There has been many yrs. of research on the subject and plenty of good advice.

Made a scabbard for the saw screwed a couple brackets on the back of it to hang on the piece I welded together and bolted on the tractor where there was already accommodation on the loader post.

We had beautiful weather for a wk. or more now 13 C or 55 F and the sun just came out as I was typing this as we had some clouds & light rain over night. I've been getting lots of spring cleaning done after the winters snow cleaning up trees and limbs the snow knocked down.While working I get...

Thought I'd post a pic. of the balloon I found in a small fir tree this winter with the needles burned in approx. 12" diameter that concerned me could start a forest fire in dry season. I've seen lots of them in the night sky but figured the candle would go out before the balloon ever landed.

Here are a couple other stiles that could be implemented for storage sheds accessed from the front . In this one you can see the plywood gussets Eddie mentioned in his post.These were done with posts buried.

Here's a few picks of a shed build I did this stile because of limited flat ground and I had to build a 20' plus rock wall and fill it in to get this space. Any way the picks will give you an idea but the angle braces ( front to back) are not installed yet in these pics. Shed Photos by Bill_053...

I disagree with the opinions expressed here from personal experience. This is the first winter I haven't kept 3 or 4 miles of mt. trails open with chains on the front wheels of my small tractor in 23 yrs. . The universals and differential are original and still solid. Smaller wheels take less...

Any good contractor should dig the trenches for you for less than the hassle of a trencher. Good going on flat land doesn't take long $1 ft. should cover it or you can hire an excavator with a 5' bucket and place them both in the same ditch. This was 600' very steep 4' deep sand included plus I...

Nice trees, nice lumber & nice saw Sawyer Rob in fact it looks very familiar :)

In 2010 a saw mill 2 miles form our place had a fire in the log yd. so I took a few pics of the water bomber here's one.

I made a set that work well a no. of yrs. ago I used off the loader in some circumstances now I going to adapted them to Gord's idea.

Took the pics. of the mt. thrush pair a few days ago thought I'd post for those who've never seen one their a very shy bird. This Mountain Thrush is spending the winter here seems hs has a damaged wing so couldn't fly south. This wood pecker likes the suet and black oil sunflower seeds...

Grand-kids love the equipment found a couple of pics. the only way to get the youngest one at the time out of one machine was with the promise of getting in another.These tw0 were old enough to drive but I couldn't convince them.

Had a snow fall 2 days ago this guy is standing under a tree where the snows not to deep. 1st time with no cab I don't like it .

This is how my son cuts his fire wood in the pick it's bug killed pine in northern BC. He sold the Cat last fall because it used twice the fuel of the Hitachi and to hard to get good employees seems drugs and alcohol are a problem for those making $42 ph+ benefits. BTW the fire wood is only for...

These 2 bucks hung around our place keeping an eye on me since they were fawns this yr. they only showed up once but I didn't get a pic.

Beautiful sunny day now 22 degrees every things plowed sanded the drive got the backhoe back up the hill all is good. Trees are still loaded with heavy snow so it's wise to watch where you walk out side to avoide getting smacked. Take a few yrs. ago but today looks the same. Todays pic.

Had these logs given to me from a lot in town that was getting cleared the excavator on the site loaded them 5 fir and 1 pine 24' long I soon found out I was slightly over loaded.

We live with plenty of will animals around and for a no. of yrs. my Shepard and his buddy the 28 lb. poodle ignored all wildlife except cyotes and bears they kept away from the house. After their life span was over we were inundated by packs of dogs chasing everything and some growling at us...

Well looks like I'm getting the opportunity to see how well the traction is with turf tires on my new Kioti . Yesterday with 6" of fresh wet heavy snow all went well only slid down 1 hill backwards once when I got on straight ice. Having only put 1 hr. on it so far today I get a chance to...

Inherited this dog from an old fella who was no longer able to keep her when he went into a rest home 3 yrs. ago when she was 12 yrs. old. Now at 15 hard of hearing and almost totally blind she still likes to play and act like a pup when shes not sleeping.Very gentle and laid back had her for...

The fir are fairly stable now Tom approx. 30 yrs. ago it looked real bad thought we would lose all the fir but the healthy ones over came and maybe it was a real cold winter and logging the effected ones that helped. Enough fir still die every yr. to keep me busy I don't have a lot of pine but...

One of my skid trails in spring & again in winter . I've made approx 4 miles of skid road and I try and keep it open all winter so I can get to work earlier in the spring. It's great seeing all your pics. and ideas now I'll give mine a rest for a while to see what everyone else does.

Over ninety % of what I log for lumber and firewood is bug kill fir. I have an old rebuild 12v warn winch a battery behind the skidder attachment with 12 v line hooked to the postive on the battery so I never run out of power.

A few pics. taken making skid trails on the mt. with my 1130 Case IH BTW Vroom in 1969 the first skidder I ever seen was a brand new 440 Timber Jack I got to skid with in the Rockys . The skid trails and landings were made of snow because the tarain was almost vertical.

If you can get it now Oldpath it's the best time , hard to peel but it's not all slimy under the bark. I've only fell two green ones in the last 20 yrs. but I should be logging some right now but there's no snow and I like to keep them clean for milling. Cedar is the only lumber I can make good...

Some last winter pics. looks like there wasn't a lot of snow. My property is very steep so logging in the winter isn't always possible.

Yes a nice pile of lumber out of that tree hope it's appropriate to post the pics. here.

There sure are some nice set ups here to look at & get ideas.I have a small band mill and been using my tractor to skid, pile logs & split fire wood since 1991.

Will be picking up my CK27H this coming tue. considered a cab but would only be using it in the winter decided I'd make a soft top like I've had for the last 20+ to plow snow. it has worked well.

Own a case 1130, Kioti CK27 & case 589 Super M looking forward to participating in the forums learning , sharing & meeting new folks. I'm located in B.C.
