The beginning of the chain case.

Getting closer every day. Have about sixteen inches of lift without compromising the pto shaft. [ATTACH

Snow is not here yet. A little progress.

Back to my fel blower. Slow progress, getting older. Ssqa plate on the blower.

New thread on an old subject. Found two more scrapers a while ago, they will be mine next trip to the lake. Don稚 really need them but hate to see them go for scrap metal. Again the price is right.

Hard to get a pic of the whole yard, but this is about a third.

Did some fresh caught northern pike.

Anyone else fab up a cowboy wok? Hopefully I値l be able to try my new build at the lake. You tube vids are inspiring.

Finished up the set screw holes, power tap to the rescue

Not tractor stuff but shop time. Same glass co needed some adjustment knobs for a Chinese glass grinding machine. Apparently hard to get the parts from the manufacturer. Made up four.

A little gig I have going with a local glass company. Welding deck posts for vinyl deck rails. Drill four holes in 1/4 thick plates and weld to galvanized pipe. Lots of ventilation required. Did 28 today. Finish with a shot of cold galvanize coating. Drilling jig and home built rotary table...

This one popped up.

Short story. Picked up a tumblebug scraper a bit ago. Going to the lake last Friday, I see this in a vacant farmyard. One of those got to have it, just because things. Need to locate the owner and see if it痴 for sale. Better condition than the one I have.

Rear gate

Previous owner of the quarter left this on the adjoining land. Said if I wanted it, go grab it. Had it sold to someone but guy never paid. I値l give him the $65 he was going to get. Needs a little fixing but is also modified for a cyl to change angle of cut. 24 inch discs might be a challenge for...

New to me. Bigger than what it seems in the FB ad. Old, square nuts and bolts. Only found one picture of the same kind. Darn heavy, had to put on my counterweight. Drum is 30 inches dia, 60 inches long will be a while before I get a chance to figure it out.

Pretty pumped, going tomorrow to pick up a Tumblebug type scraper.

Working on it. Milled the key slots, made up a shear bolt assembly, possible 1/4 or 5/16 shear bolts. The chain case drive floats on the pto. Need that as a safety in case the thing grenades. Using a double #50 chain coupler for the shaft. The unit will mount above the draw bar, using the draw...

Fabbed up one of those screw type bead breakers last fall. Used it on a trailer tire, worked good. Need to try it on an atv tire as they羆*e tough

Making progress, hopefully the blower will mount without mods.

So it begins. Salvaged sprockets and chain from an old pull type combine. Had a bit of 8x6 tube. Snagged a solid 1 5/8 round from an old rod weeder. Princess Auto has lots of bearings. Split the tube with the plasma, took out material and milled the sides straight. The bits will be welded to...

Just a litrle off topic. Love to see clamping solutions. My table is laser cut for accurate corners and slots like the Miller table. Really like the Miller clamps, though others also work well. The frame is set in three inches all around for edge clamping. Lots of clamp options.

Yup you need a grapple. Another diy guy here. Built mine out of farm scrap. Digs rocks great too. From my phone lol

Just for ***** and giggles, picked up a Ford LM 21 push mower. Great shape but missing the wheel drive belt and shaft. Cool piece of history, son is a true blue Ford fan

Is Paul Short from Newfieland on here? Would have some great snow fighting videos.

Looking for the thread about some one purchasing a new tractor with many rust and other issues, can't remember where it was.

Looking at a Sovema 60 inch three point tiller for my 1742 Massey. Any input would be appreciated.

Not the same tractor, 1742 has this. Didn’t check with a test light, but seems logical

Yup, confirmed it. Cheap led lights screw up the radio in the tractor. Finally got round to it, put some low cost Amazon led lights on my Massey. Had the lights for a while now. Had a bit of time, did the change and sure as chit, radio no workey on fm. Will try am and cd soon.

Like this? I値l

Going out tomorrow to persue one of my favorite summer pastimes, Gopher shooting. Have a few farmers with too many of the little critters causing havock in pastures and crop. They don't usually have time to reduce the numbers, appreciate me helping out. I really apprciate the opportunity to get...

One of the attachments that I built for my Massey 1742 No paint yet but, picked up a big one today

Posted this when I built it, pics never get old though. Compact size, about 600 lbs. Carries low for good cg.

Couple more

Couple of pics of my treasures

Didn't persue the issue past this forum. Any old stuff interest here? Just picked up four in various states of disrepair. One Sears Roebuck/David bradley, a Simplicity that looks complete, with a 12 inch tiller, One that looks similar to the Simplicity, but no transmission, and an obscure...

Pic of the old disc. Has eight, 24 inch serrated discs. Haven稚 found a name yet.

Another low buck project. Need to soften up and smooth out the dirt bike track I carved out in a pasture. It痴 ok for bikes but a tad too rough for trikes. Figured a drag harrows set might do the trick. Ten trips around and the results are less than spectacular. Next order of business will be to...

No paint yet but earning it痴 keep.

All done except the paint. Not perfect but does the job. Lighter than I thought. Only cost is paint, cylinder and hoses. Roughly $175.

Some progress, need to mock up a cylinder and mounts for the claw.

Got a new project on the go. Building a small grapple using material salvaged from a couple of old rod weeders left on the property. Taking them apart is a major pia. Surprising how easy the old square nuts and bolts are to undo. The one has been in the bush more than forty years, steel wheels...

Just built my ballast box. Close to 600 ingots, carefully placed in the box. Easy to get a few if I need to cast some.44 cal.

Counterweight done. No fun transferring all the ingots one at a time. Prob have room for a couple more layers.

I lied, looked at my stash, found a couple hundred lbs not yet processed. Weighed the good stuff. Another get round to it job.

A new project for the Massey. Looked at many diy weights, came up with a compact version. Short history. A few years ago, I was involved in the lead wheel weight frenzy. With all the do-gooders frowning on lead, pressuring governments to ban them and go to steel, I salvaged and melted down about...

I see a new project in my future. We have some old round bales here set up for snow breaks. I'm thinking plastic snow fence, taken off in the spring would be a better alternative. I'd build it to slide on my first ssqa plate like the forks. Need to price out a couple of pick me up truck torsion...

From my phone. Ditch mower

Part of the herd

Needed to transfer 3100lbs of screenings for deer food into a bin. Made up a box to fit my snowblower, mounted on a pallet. First bag was 1300 lbs, Massey lifted full height with some complaining. Second bag was 1800 lbs, so I had to divide into two, no problem then. Once the assembly was lined...

Getting close to done. Too cold for paint. Only thing I had around to test is a full 45 gal drum of heating oil.

Asked about this a while ago. Just about done. Will give the extra height needed to get pallets into the barn loft.

Lathe steady

Got a few things Tube roller

Can I play?

Just posting this from personal experience. My 2017 Massey 1742 had a cold start problem right from new. Dealer was out to check the usual faults, none found. Seemed to start better when the block heater wasn't plugged in to -15c, after that it was a crap shoot. Having a good snow dump, needed...

Fabbed a cab for my Case 446 a couple years ago. Not really cheap. Laminated glass front and rear, lexan for the doors. Heat drom the engine blew in, comfy in moderate cold

Got a new attachment project in the works. Need an extra foot or so extra lift on the Massey 1742 fel. Not quite enough height to place pallets in the old barn loft. Old dairy barn, low ceiling, great loft for storage. Picked up a ssqa plate. Will fab up a short hydraulic lift system, like a...

Try to get a pic off the phone

Planning a chipper/shredder purchase, specfically the Champion 338 cc model 100137. Any one have this model? Pros and cons? I'm not doing large stuff, branches 2" and smaller. Anyrhing bigger goes into the stove.

This one is for a yuk yuk. Had to remove the Massey from the snow when I got too close to the ditch. Too steep to get back up.

Used the Massey to build the Shelter Logic shed. Sure makes things easier.

This was the first project for the Massey. Started out as bucket forks for the ford 3000. With the flex in the bucket, marginal at best. Massey has a quick change on the front so a pallet fork attachment was a no brainer. Forks are tapered as per a you tube video, fabricated from 2x4 .188...

Welded this up with the stick function on my Lincoln 210 MP. Liked the land plane idea, just added a hydraulic gate to carry or distribute material as required. Six ft wide, six ft long. Ft blade is serrated, rear is straight cut, set at a 10 degree angle. Run them 1/2 inch below the side...

New guy here from Sask Canada. City boy for over sixty years, moved to a rural quarter last fall. City is great in the rear view mirror now. Purchased an old Ford 3000 prior to the move, needed something with a fel and three point. When my city house sold, immediately bought a Massey 1742 cab...
