    First time jacking tractor rear end.

    I used this one or similar http://www.fordservicecontent.com/renderers/torquewrench/wrench_formula_en.asp?type=180degcrow I tossed in some random values and got some surprising results. Go figure

    First time jacking tractor rear end.

    How did you calculate that out? I made a extension to get 300 ft/lb off a 150 wrench. It was 14.something inches@ something less than 150 setting (closer to 130 maybe?) That picture just seems like its way out of whack.

    First time jacking tractor rear end.

    Important to know, very important, that lifting tractors is completely different than cars or pickups. The front is not supported by the front wheels at the corners, its supported by the front axle pivot bolt at the center. If the whole rear is lifted at the center, you've got the whole thing...

    What is draft control

    I missed this video the first time and realized its a good one. I just want to add a thought on this that is somewhat debatable. I think that draft should be looked at as an operator helper but also as compromise. It assists the job by reducing the load, lifting the implement till the load is...

    What is draft control

    Seems like a lot of the folks commenting here are looking at whatever is in front of them and talking as if theirs is some sort of universal standard, its not. There are all kinds of different designs. Even if your not fond of reading operators manuals, the 3 pt is a area where you should read...

    Yanmar 2210

    I had a 2210D They do not have any aux hydraulic system. The typical loader installation ties the loader system into the hyd pipe going between the engine mount pump and the 3 pt, your #4 photo shows the tie in. The pipe gets cut, flow goes to loader, back from loader to the cut pipe, and...

    electrical relays

    Absolutely. And the control doesn't even have to be a switch. A relay can be controlled by sensors: temp, moisture, prox, etc One relay can be controlled by another relay Contactors (big relays) can have whole circuits controlling. You can do all kinds of stuff with relays

    Master Link Circlip Orientation?

    Yeah, normal standard is closed end leads the way (like a tadpole) But if the chain is getting whacked by tools, shovels,etc then there is no guaranty. Your situation may do better with a riveted link, one that looks like all the others. You can get a chain breaker/riveter tool for pretty cheap

    electrical relays

    Exactly. Relay testers aren't designed as universal, one fits all. Just too many sizes and shapes A tester is designed for a very few model/types of relay, often only one. But if the user is working with dozens or hundreds of that relay, then its worth it.

    electrical relays

    Don't know what your deal is. You come on a thread (multiple posts) and whine-complain about the thread. And then blow smoke about something you know nothing about. I have worked with relay testers for years, they DO exist.

    Sliding doors for Pole Barn

    Here's what I did. In Minnesota. Similar door on other end. The sliding hardware can be used with some lumber spacing on the inside to position the rail. I couldn't find any latching that would work on the inside so I had to rig up some turnbuckles. I wasn't really satisfied with that. Those...

    The wood lot

    My setup. Used to do 13-15 cords to heat the house and a workshop. In more recent years I couldn't keep up and burned more like 9-11 cords by adjusting the two thermostat's in the house, one for central heat and one for the wood heat.

    Plasma cutting

    I recently got myself a Chicago Electric Model 95136. I am happy with its performance and give it a thumbs up for the lighter duty projects that I do. My question is about the proper way to cut with it, always dragging it making contact with the material or keeping a gap from the material. It...

    Bias ply tractor tires

    I just had a tractor tire replaced. I shopped around 3 places somewhat close to me and all said that tire (18.4 x 34 bias ply) is becoming rare as used. I was picking though tires that probably had been removed because they were considered shot. I got one with good sidewalls but short lugs for...

    UTV or Utility vehicle registration?

    Does anyone know what the deal is with these machines and registration? I'm guessing that there is a lot of variation between states. Does anyone know what the definitions are of all these ATV's, Side by sides, UTV's, XUV's, Utility vehicles? I live in Minnesota and bought a Yard Sport YS200...

    Ford chrome lugnuts expanding

    Anyone else have problems with the lugnut plating cracking on the corners, rusting, and then expanding so the wrench won't fit? It happened to me again yesterday.

    Future electrical systems

    A while back I had a conversation with an electrical engineer regarding low voltage circuits and wiring. We were dealing with the industry standard of 24v DC circuits. He was telling me that there is a push to up the typical standard to 48v DC. This would allow manufactures to use higher gauge...
