Yeah, looks like the EPA rules didn’t change—manufacturers just thought they had to remove the separate vent. The letter the EPA sent to manufacturers says separate vents have always been allowed, as long as they’re self-closing. Same goes for the spout. Hopefully someone makes a version that...

Build an outbuilding: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/pole-shop-and-shed-building.329475/ Or a garage: https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/pole-carriage-shed.342851/

Since I'm a glutton for punishment I moved and built another pole barn. Using the same techniques and couldn't have done it without the tractor!

Thanks Citydude! Here's a couple more picts from a little further back with and without the tube.

Old thread but got some ideas from here. I wanted to see if I could make my hitch tube removable when I wasn't using it so it wouldn't get in the way of material or be clogged up. I was able to use a 24" hitch tube that slides through the a hole in the blade and pins into the inverted ripper...

Finished up the shed with siding milled from the property with the portable mill. Did metal roofing and put in lights and outlets. All set!

I did a posting in January about a pole shop and shed I built last summer. I used logs from the property, with the help of my tractor of course. I'm taking on a bigger project building a 24x36 carriage shed using the same construction. Here's the plan: Here's what I've done so far...

Doing the same kind of thing, I built the kids a playhouse this summer. They wanted a treehouse but I went with an elevated playhouse so I could sneak in some storage below it. I also wanted it to be sealed up better to keep out bugs and spiders during the summer when they camp out in it...

Thanks to everyone for the great comments! I put the shed roofing on first then the shop roofing comes down right on top of it so the corrugation matches up. There's about 4-5" of overlap. Can't get a good exterior photo of it now due to the snow but here's what it looks like from the...

I'm real happy how it turned out. Definitely fun to build!

I finished up the roofing and siding and ran electricity. I went inside and built storage shelves and a workbench. I had salvaged some metalbestos type chimney about a year previous without an idea what I could use it for. I welded up a small wood stove out of a couple of expired 20lb...

I made the rough opening for the door and windows out of 2x4s. Nailers for the siding were put up and checked using a plumb bob. To keep the nailers aligned vertically I would either shim or use the hatchet to notch out the poles. Being out a 1/4" or so was fine. The shiplap pine siding...

After I cut all of the floor logs I moved them to where the building was going to end up. There's plenty of 100+ year old barns up here sitting on rocks so that's what I went with. The front corners are on two large rocks that are in the ground. The right front corner required a rock "shim"...

The shop base is made from a bunch of beech trees that were cleared for house construction. Using my chain saw and a $45 "Beam Machine" I flattened one side of the logs. You screw a 2x4 to the log and level it along it's length. I tried it on a test log first. The Beam Machine gets...

Hi all I had posted a picture of my pole shop and shed on another thread. A TBN'er wanted to know more about it and asked me if I'd do a post on it. The idea was to build a small shop and shed for the tractor using logs from our land and as much salvaged materials as possible. We were...

Hi ChrisVi Congrats on your new tractor as well! Yup, mine does the same. I believe it's what you think it is, an electric fuel supply pump that pressurizes the common rail to send fuel to the electronic injectors. I'm sure someone here can tell you if that's exactly right or not. Thanks...

My 3301 was delivered this afternoon. Just enough time to drive it around the property once then park it in the shed. Darn short days.

Put up a video of my buddy's 1953 John Deere Model 40 for you antique tractor fans. The 3pt hauler is homemade. YouTube - 1953 John Deere Model 40 - Homemade TPH Hauler

Here's a homemade 3 pt hitch hauler my buddy made for his 1953 John Deere model 40. It's made from angle iron and square stock from a salvaged home gym/weight set. There's a video of it also at the link below for your viewing pleasure!:) YouTube - 1953 John Deere Model 40 - Homemade TPH Hauler

I put this video up under snow but I figure I'd put it it here for you antique Deere enthusiasts. My buddy's '53 JD 40 clearing snow with a modified landscape rake. YouTube - John Deere 40 Clearing Snow

Here's a modified landscape rake my buddy used to clear his driveway. He came by and cleared my place. He just bolted a 2x10 to the rake. Improvised but works. Here's a video of him using it: YouTube - John Deere 40 Clearing Snow

Hi all Since I've had surgery for a couple of back discs I figure it's time to get serious about a real tractor vs my little Simplicity 12.5 LT with mower deck and 16 cu ft trailer. I love a good days work and hands on a shovel but the back says it's time. TBN is always in the google results...
