I am looking at getting a small cross-feed table for my drill press. Something that has 8-10 inches of cross travel and 5 to 6 inches of in/out travel. I have a small project that requires some higher precision pieces than I can make by hand, mainly straightening out edges on some relatively...
I needed an air saw from a specific tool manufacturer, and wanted to find a local distributor. The tools are sold through independent dealers who work out their own trucks. I called the number listed on the manufacturer's website to get a name and phone number for a local distributor in my...
As a point of interest for those people with a pacemaker or a cardioverter (pacemaker / defibrillator) I thought I'd post my latest experience.
I have had a cardioverter for the past 4 years, and the electrophysiologist said that I should not weld using a stick welder as the arc was too big and...
I have a Wallenstein PTO chipper that I should be able to run without being on the tractor's driver's seat. However, when I put the transmission in "N," apply the parking brake and attempt to engage the PTO without being on the driver's seat the tractor shuts off.
I figure it has to be the...
I discovered a buried t-post on a piece of land that I own in southern New Mexico. It is in an area where I want to expand the driveway into the propery and needs to be removed or othewise dealt with. It has about 10-inches of the post above ground and an unknown amount buried.

I just got a new to me (used) 448 backhoe with a 12-inch bucket. I have some landscape work to do in relatively soft, sandy loam soil, and need a larger bucket. Has anyone used the 448 with either the 24-inch or 36-inch buckets? Is the hoe capable of handling the larger buckets?
After looking for nearly 6 months for a used Harley Rake, I decided to just go ahead an purchase a new one. I went to a local dealer who sells Woods Equipment, and got a price of nearly $10K for a Woods TPR7200-2 power rake.
The $10K really wasn't quite in my budget. I contacted the regional...
A friend of mine is in the business of repairing and building wooden boats in Salt Lake City, UT. This is his latest, based on a 1929 Chris Craft, triple cockpit runabout. It's 29-feet 9-inches long, has a Mercruiser 8.1 liter motor, and for maneuverability, he added a bow thruster.
It's...
Just to counteract so many negative posts ....
I've owned and operated a number of different brands of equipment. All of them have been dead-nuts reliable and did the job. I was totally happy with all of them....and then I got my John Deere.
I have to tell you, that I get off that piece of...
A local industrial tractor dealer has Alamo cutters. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them. The conservancy district (irrigation) uses the Brahma + an Exten-A-Kut on their tractors for ditch maintenance.
But, in talking with the district employees - none of them have...
I've had this tractor for 10 years and I've had to:

4. Grease it.
5. Wash and wax it.
6. Put water in the battery.
7. Grease the tiller chain and bearings.

I have a JD 300CX loader with the heavy duty bucket and wanted a tooth bar that would fit the bucket with the cutting edge on the bucket. After looking at several alternatives, I contacted Rezloh and sent them a CAD drawing; and then coordinated the purchase through my local Case Industrial...
My 3320 arrived last week and I'm having a bit of difficulty getting a handle on using the E-Hydro transmission.
I've only used tractors with manual transmissions (my other tractor has a 12x12 shuttle-shift) - and I don't get how to use the E-Hydro transmission with ground engaging implements...
