I considered leaving the tractor at the woods. It is about 8 miles away. The trails in my parents property are so tight and curving that I have all I can do to drive thru without a trailer. The dooley fenders and wide turning radius of the truck are not ideal for driving thru the woods. We like...

With my 13 year old daughter Josie behind the wheel of the John Deere this week we managed to bring home three loads of wood so far. The grapple I made has been very helpful lifting and moving larger logs, moving brush and holding logs at waist height while I saw them up. My daughter drivers the...

The lower the price usually means lighter weight materials and less strength. For light work you might be just fine. I bought the TSC County Line yellow 5' blade knowing I was going to "Beef It Up" All the new blades at the store had some sort of bend or twist to them. It was obvious they are...

Well I am am almost ready for the tarp. I need to drill and tap 5 holes to secure the new tarp to the bar it rolls up on and one hole for a hitch pin to keep it locked in position.

Well I took the day off and picked or the dump trailer. Dealer didn't have the lunette ring so I had to use the 2-5/16" ball coupler. I decided to order one off the internet when I got home. The trailer had white spoke wagon wheels but the dealer didn't have a spare to match. So I had them swap...

Any suggestions on how I can make a matching bumper for the back of my truck. I still need my tailgate to fold down? Weight is not an issue.

Dealer said the new trailer will dump 6-7 times without a recharge. I have battery maintainers for my truck and tractor and they are always hooked up when I am not using them. I have one for the new trailer also and RV power outlets on my property to plug it in. I will probably look for a marine...

Thanks The photo is off the net. Mine won't have alumimnum wheels. Otherwise the same. They will be white spoke wheels 16" x 8 lug. Trailer, tax, title and plate was $5915. I have to drive about 1 hour to pick it up. The box in front of the bed hold the battery, reservoir and pump

After 3-4 weeks of shopping on the net and making many phone calls I put a deposit on a dump trailer. I wanted a dump trailer with slide out ramps tucked away underneath the bed. Many have located the ramps on the side of the trailer for numerous reasons. Sure-Trac HD Low Profile trailer was my...

I will be purchasing a new 12' dump trailer soon and decided on a pintle hitch. The pintle hitch on the back of the truck will also be handy for use with my tow strap. I found a bolt on pintle hitch on Craigs List 2 miles from my house for $30 that looked as if it was never installed. It was a...

I purchased a Northern Tool "Northstar" 22 ton logsplitter with a Honda motor. I have been very happy with the machine. The next size up comes with a higher grade Honda motor.

Has or does anyone hear a slight ticking sound in their Yanmar diesel engine. Almost like a valve lifter noise. I always wear hearing protection when running the tractor. Recently I have been walking beside the tractor as my daughter wants to help out and run the tractor all the time. I haven't...

Thanks everyone, That is a locking pin hanging from the chain. It's nice to do all the details but projects seem to take longer with three kids and wife teaching school. Another subzero night started and the woodbox needs to be filled. I have to brave the windchill and haul a few bucket loads...

In less than 10 minutes you can drill out the hole(s) tap some threads and install the zerk fittings. This is the rear blade for my tractor. I decided to lubricate the pivot for the rear blade and the cylinder clevis pins. I drill a 1/16" pilot hole and then a #3 drill deep enough to tap with a...

I am not impressed with the styling of this yellow truck. The suicide doors look nice but having to open the front for rear access is a HUGE negative. You cannot rotate the the rims and tires on this dually. The front clip to tailgate is from a decade ago. Too many plastic side pannels on the...

Mounted up the cylinder tonight after work and it work wonderfully. I gave it a short try-out and scaped some ice off the road. I am truely going enjoy this feature. Tom

I finished the fabrication on the blade. The cylinder and hoses should arrive UPS tomorrow. Tom

Might as well add a park stand for it if you change implements time to time. Great buy!

Heck yes they are working great! I have 18 Watt for the rear and 27 Watt for the front. I used them quite a bit for leaf pickup and mowing after dark in the fall. Lately hauling wood after dinner and a little snow plowing. very happy with them.

I bought all the fittings from Surplus Center. Look under the hydraulics tab for fittings, couplers and adapters. Here are a few pictures of what I used. If you have more questions please ask. There are quick couplers that use a retaining ring to hold the coupler 1/2 in the bracket. These...

I hear stories all the time about what life was like growing up on a farm from my dad. He was the youngest of seven kids. His mother passed when he was 2 years old and his father at 14. Running a farm was part of daily life. His chores were important but not always as difficult as what the older...

It would be helpful to see a schematic of the furnace electrical. You might be able to use a relay to run the blower motor on the high speed setting. Some motors have 3 speed settings. The relay could be activated by a seperate thermostat located in that room. Trimming a small amount off the...

I made the bracket for the second set of rear remotes. Just waiting for my order from Surplus Center with the hoses I need.

Look at the Trek "Pure" or "Pure Sport". The nicest feature about the bike besides comfort is the recumbant crank shaft location. Instead of being directly under the seat it is slightly forward and the handle bar geomertry... makes you feel like you are in a chair. This is very nice if you have...

Very nice modification. A job well done and something you should be proud of. But as "Gomer Pyle" used to say For shame - For shame - For shame :D Tom

1/2" x 3" plate. Doubled where cylinder connects to add strength and remove slop in the tie-rod cylinder end. Tom

Added a bearing collar to maintain spacing needed for new control arm clearance. Blade will be able to rotate when in the lowered position. Tom

This is my TSC rear blade I am adding hydraulic angle to. I also want to point out that the tubing was holding water and a drain hole should be added to prevent rusting and damage to tube during cold weather due to expansion of ice. I ordered a 3" x 12" 3000 psi cylinder from Surplus Center. The...

My daughter sure has taken an interst in operating equipment. She has been riding in the buddy seat on the tractor at the farm and insisting on hauling wood this winter. Snow plowing is next whenever we get some of the white stuff.

My 1996 model 1864 just before I sold it a few months ago. Very strong and dependable machine. Pre-MTD

My extra fittings arrived yesterday but i was busy smoking ribs and making homemade chicken noodle soup. Took a few minutes this morning and rerouted the hoses behind the ROPS support farther away from the tire. I used two 45' deg. JIC fittings and was able to change the angle of the hoses. 1/4"...

Here is a band file belt cutter I made. The abrasive belts are available in wider widths for belt sanders that are cheaper that the precut belts for the band file. So I cut my own for a lot less money. Uses a standard razor blade spaced at the correct cutting width and all you have to do is...

Maybe some orange paint?

I would weld a patch due to metal fatigue and strengthen the areas. Word of caution. These photo's are what welding on a vechicle's floor inside a building unsafely can look like. In my neighborhood 2010? It's hard to stop a train also to put out a pickup truck on fire

apparently you didn't see the photos of the post office approved boxes i posted that are twice as heavy as mine. 1/4" thick plate steel security boxes.

I like to draw out many projects on paper before i get started. Sometime the old just wing it appraoch is ok too. Lately I may take a picture of something and try to make ideas with the paint program on the computer. I have no CAD program and maybe it would be something I should look into. Good...

Sometimes it's trying to hide all your welds that counts. Here was a couple of projects I did just for fun and to practice my painting skills. 1st lamp

:laughing: I feel your pain. 8 or so paper books just this x-mas not counting the electronic ones. I built a book shelf for her not to long ago that holds books 2 deep,two other bookshelfs full, and there are boxes full of books still floating around.:confused3: She wants me to build another...

I named my 2320 Deeredra

Made some progress and have the grapple functioning. I still have some fittings coming so I can change the angle or routing of the hydraulic lines slightly. JIC 45's and JIC 90's for the hose ends. Inside the wheel well I will use the 45's to redirect the hoses behind the heavy frame for the...

My RL-H3C requires no adapter to the CST stand. I believe the tripod thread is 5/8-11. Here are some pics. Just looked up the RL-H4C. They have made some nice improvements over the years. You should be very happy with that choice. Tom

Veto Pro Pac make several styles of hand carry tool bags and totes in different styles. Klein makes bags and totes that are very durable too. Leather tool totes are nice for electrical type tools. Tool zipper bags are nice for larger items. Knnack has hand tool boxes to job site chests. I have...

We too had lots of good food and company. Surprise visitors all the way from S. Carolina showed up at the farm. One of my BIL got us a worderful double neon clock for my shop.

I made a quick adjustment elevation adapter for my tri-pod. It is nice for trim work and cabinets when you don't want to use a story pole and just the detector for layout. bolts on to the tri-pod and bolt laser to the top aluminum plate.

I have a large Dutchwest (by Vermont Casting) inside our house that around 12 years old. It is a double wall cast iron stove. Cast iron radiates heat well and will continue to give off heat longer when the fire goes out. In my garage I have a 1/4" steel plate stove my in-laws gave to me. It...

Roger, Looks like you could replace the bolt with a pipe sleve in the 3" tube and incorporate some zerk fittings. Obviously the blade is designed to move outside the wheel track by adjusting the link. Did there used to be a cylinder there? Looks like an easy fun project.

Thinking about buying a new tig welder early 2013 I want an AC/DC to have aluminum capability. I have been wanting a tig welder with foot control for a long time. I have had my eye on the Miller Syncrowave 200. I have really been a die hard Miller fan. When I saw the price of the Everlast...

Hereis a few other large mailboxes

the pipe is 3" sched. 80 with tabs welded to the pipe on the lower portion to grab the poured concrete and not sperate. It is aslo stainless steel so it will not rust over the years. The front of the box is set back legal distance inside the curb egde so the postman, street sweeper, garbage and...

The mail falls into the bottom of the box and it is difficult to reach inside and pull the mail out. The slot for incoming mail is small enough that it is hard to attempt to reach inside for the mail. Pull your mail out from the lock door in the back. If you have a ditch behind your box, make...

Common logging tools and Wheelwright spoke tools

Even the oldest steelyard scales had some type of pivots and bearings. There are no pivots or bearings. A steelyard scale is suspended by a handle or arm with a bearing on the end The beam of the scale has a fixed pivot and a second spaced at a percise distance to calculate a ratio commonly 10:1...

just some parts bolted together? arms look similar

I was going to put a JIC X NPTM X JIC (tee) connector on one set of the rear couplers. From that set of couplers run lines to the front set of couplers.

I have to admit, your hydraulic connections and hose routing scares the heck out of me along the right side like that. Is there a guard or something to protect them? I just see one of those evil sticks grabbing a hold of one of the hoses while your drive by. The hoses aren't in the loom...

That is the factory location. I just made a new bracket to replace the old that would accomodate two more couplers. I didn't like the location myself and the original lines are hardlined from the scv. Once I run the the lines for the grapple quick connects from the new scv I plan to make a...

Just thought I wish a "WARM" end of the world to all. Let's see who will be the last one to post a thread. On your keyboards Get set.... Go!

Well my order arrived today but it was goofed up a little. I accidentally ordered some SAE 8 fittings instead of SAE 6. They accidentally sent me some SAE 4 fittings instead of SAE 6. Well once we sorted out the order David @ Surplus Center is putting a rush on my new order with the correct...

We use a petrolium grease type rust proofing on our vehicles from a outfit her in town. Hot weather causes it to run the first 2-3 years and makes a mess by the drain holes. But our vehicles are holding up great even with all the salt used on the road. My 1998 chevy is mostly driven in the...

Not a Steelyard scale.

That would have been titled "Miss Kubota" Does this help?

Talking about a HST "hydro" transmission. Kubota has forward and reverse pedals on the right with the brakes above the forward lever on the right side also. Deere has the forward & reverse on the right side and brakes on the left side. Deere F & R pedals are side by side to each other. Kubota F...

I bought my rear scaper blade first because of cost and i wanted it for snow removal this winter. I wanted the option of being able to angle it. My plans are to fabricate a cylinder set-up on it this winter after I add 2 sets of remotes next week. While the blade was less expensive it is not...

If in fact he has plans on pushing or there it a likelyhood of some light pushing scrap the idea about sched. 40 and use sched. 80. The heavier and larger diameter the larger the radius of bends also. Not sure what you want it to look like. For the grapple bar support on my bucket I used sched...

Thanks BOGGEN "boggen" tractor coloring fun on T B N save the image and paste in paint here is mine:)

i was having my morning java and had fun watching the Hawks do what they do best. Out hunting for some food. So I grabbed the Nikon D60 and tried to snag a few pictures.

Thanks ! I showed the wrong side/view of the pin in my photo's

I finished one of the greasable pivot pins. It is protected from damage now.

I repainted my 1998 K3500 2 summers back. Hood and drivers fender top was loosing the clear coat due to an earlier repair job. I was going to only repaint those panels. Then I changed my mind and did the entire truck. I did base coat clear coat because the truck is still 99% rust free. My time...

Nice work Looks like you ordered SAE6 ORB to 3/8" NPTF 90's for the remote supply and return hoses and reduced them down to 1/4" for the hose? I was thinking that all of the lines were 3/8" and those would be also. My 2320 list's a differen't plug. (15H558 Pipe Plug | 1/8in. ) I guess i'll order...

Well I made a guard and I will give this a try and see how things look with the grapple full of brush. I can always unbolt it and modify or make a larger guard. I have a list of fittings that I need to purchase. I still need to find out what size SAE ORB fitting is on the bottom of the John...

Homemade greasable pivot pins.

This is a rough sketch of what I was thinking for the lower bolt on guard.

Primed the pieces late last night and loaded the woodstove in the garage before going to bed. I'll shake up some flat black paint today. Rustolium flat black will be an inexpensive / easy way to touch it up before storing it in the shed after gathering the years firewood in the spring.

Nikon Coolpix L22 Nikon Coolpix L120 Nikon D60 W/extra lenses Nikon Speedlight SB-600 I just love the D60

Ready to prep for primer tomorrow.

I had one from HD a few years back and it worked well. In 2004 I bought a ST926DLE professional series with the OHV Tecumsen motor and switching differential. It too works real nice. The 926 steers easier than the first that only had the pin locking axle without the differential. Real work...

Any more weight and I might need to shop for a turbo charger.:laughing: This might have to do. I need a nap:thumbsup:

I have done a little more work this morning. Added a 3rd grapple tine and put in some gussets. Now I need to round the front off a little and run one more pipe support across to tie in some upper gussets.

7yr Lab "Avery" / 7yr Rotttie "Renae"/ 8 mth Rottie "Winry"/ 8 mth Rottie "Rory"

I would say the hard part of the fabrication work is over. Lots of little details left to do. I have the cylinder mounted and the rest of the work is cross supports, gussets, cylinder guard, hydraulic lines and things of that nature.

Did a little more fabrication. Far from done done but i did get the a bracket made for the remote hydraulics plus have started the grapple fabrication. I will try to fabricate the cylinder mount and cross or lateral bracing for the grapple teeth soon. still need to add zerk fittings and trim the...

Whats your favorite chair? I rescued this before it went to the land fill a few years back. It came out of a time capsule. Late 40's early 50's - B.L. Marble Furniture Inc. I have a second that I had to repair and refinish.

sounds like a good use! I store my fuel in old tanks outside.

Yes, you would clean the metal by removing all the paint. try to find the ends of the crack. drill a small hole at each end, this is to try and prevenct the crack from growing any farther. grind out the crack to bevel the edges on each side of the crack so you can get penetration with your weld...

I clear a trail to the woodpile and all around the yard for the dogs to use. The dogs never seem to use it for their business but it gives me some seat time plowing. My oldest rottie loves the winter and will play/lay around outside for hours. Then she will cook herself next to the woodstove.

I bought a Nortrac 3-point quick hitch. $138.41 w/shipping this year. Works great and the price was right.

We had our first snowfall today and the new puppies weren't sure what to make of it. I'm glad to see the first snow.:thumbsup: Feels like Michigan again.:D

Here is a snapshot of the 3 point linkage. rubber washer keeps spring from rubbing against fuel filter housing, spring pushes filter up in correct location.

Looks good. I like those mounts. I wouldn't mind a couple of those for holding a shovel. can you point me in a direction where you bought that? I bought some magnetic rechargable lights last year. 4 light modes. magnet, belt clip Tom

Made a little progress this morning in the the shop before everyone was up. Also did some welding after dinner. Tom

You bet. Wife has me do hers too. 2 pairs on the left I wear day to day. I usually keep them in the box so my dogs don't chew them. I will still clean up this 4 year old pair even though stiching is missing on toes. Thet are worn in the shop when kneeling and welding.

Started making my bucket grapple today. Bought some steel and started the grapple. I still am waiting for the dual scv controls to arrive plus buy all the hydraulic fittings. I will post pics as I have time to work on this project over the winter. Tom

I come from a family of engineers and my sister (an engineer) is mechanically challenged?????? looks good on paper but she can't turn a screwdriver. I send her this comic time to time. Tom

I keep it inside. I do have a lean-to outside for attachments. we heat with wood and my garage is always warm and varies from 55 F to 80F . depends what i've got going on. were in Tri-cities Michigan. its usually 0F to 32F. WE do get the occasionaly get down to -20 F, I have a engine block...

This was a little project i made a little while ago. It is simple and easy to make. the back is removable and there is a power outlet strip inside. I was tired of chargers scattered around the shop looking for an open outlet to place one. I used to have a 3 bay charger before i bought my new set...

I set out to use the weld on type. I have one 3/8". I called my neighborhood industrial fastner supplier and the didn't carry them in the store. TSC,ACE,LOWES,HD - none of them carried weld-on So I had these sitting around. I actually liked the fact the slot for chain is slightly higher off the...

I had bee issues with my clothes line pipes and some fence posts near my kids pool in the backyard. This is how i keep the bee's out. Rubber corks. Tom

That is a good idea. I know a gent here in town that has a fleet of wreckers and plows for them. I think I'll pay him a visit and ask him to save me some old cutting edges for the steel. This should last for awhile as is right now. Tom

I made some chains hooks for the bucket. Cut off the eyelet on each hook and welded them to some 1/4" plate to spread out the load and strenghten the mounting area. I may beef up the front edge of the bucket with some extra steel to keep it from flexing or bending over the years. also Two of my...

Couldn't justify the price of a new one.:eek: I think I'll tack weld a sacrificial bottom to this and change as needed. lots of blacktop, concrete and gravel road to plow every snow fall. This should save the bucket edge. Next will have to be a homemade tooth bar and grapple I guess. Tom

Thank you, I put the ends on tonight, drill all the holes for the bucket and primered the top side. Tom

Decided to fab up a sacrificial wear bar for clearing snow this weekend. I started to get hungry:licking: So i went for the graham crackers , strawberry jam and frozen yogert :thumbsup: I'll have to nap and finish later.

Finished up my ballast box today. I added some scrap steel and capped it off with some more 1/4" plate. I have some Craftsman metal tool boxes that are empty. I might paint one green and bolt it to the top of the ballast box this winter. Lets have some snow! Tom

:eek: I asked for some help today and got more than i bargained for from my 13 year old daughter. I lost my seat and might have a hard time getting it back! :laughing::laughing::laughing: Big Dooley

Looks Great! I made one almost identical to yours. I do not have a lower tray though. If you do alot of welding you can ground your vise permanently with a bonding strap. I have my work bench hooked directly to my welder and a vise on the bench. I also have a vise on a pedistal like your with a...

Set out to make my own ballast box. This is a 4 cubic foot box made from remnant 1/4" thick plates I welded together. I am going to use it for a while and see how I like it. I am considering the idea of a mount to piggy back a second weight for larger projects only. This here will be just great...

Morning, Thanks, I would hate to mislead or steer someone down the wrong trail. Off the topic I have a fresh 28 F morning in Michigan today with some light frost. Shutters might be a great solution to many peoples debate of which set to purchase. I doubt that you will get a strong "beam" , but...

The dealer delivered my new 200CX loader on a pallet this afternoon about 3:30 this afternoon. There were not any clear instructions with the unit but there were some in a user manual. I assembled and hooked it up. topped off the hydraulic fluid and tried it out. This will be nice for snow...

glad to hear that. i taped a thermocouple to the lens of the light and turned them on. the lights do produce some heat but not alot. more than likely by design. thus the heat sinks on the back of the lights. it will improve the life of the electronics. also to keep the light from pressuring up...

I posted a thread not long ago about led lighting for half the price. I have been so happy with the purchase of the new lights that i bought some more for the tractor. The first pair was (18 watt) lights. I have now put those on the back of the tractor and bought a (27 watt) pair for the front...

I bought a small 5 foot blade for my 2320. some were bent at the store. i modified mine when i got home to strengthen it. cost was right with a cheaper model but if you can weld you it is not ard to beef one up for a low cost and some time. i am working on a few types of skid shoes now Tom

After an old girlfriend but with different spelling. Deeredra

Some features of the JD 2320 sold me over the Kubota model in the same catagory/ price range, JD is truely lacking a snow blade that meets my standers for a tractor with this power and size. Kubota offers a much nicer beefier front snow blade built with work in mind. In my opinion the mold...

I recently made some wheel spacers for my JD 2320. The front spacers were needed for tire chain clearance. 1" aluminum with pass thru holes for the lug bolts gives good clearance for the chains. longer 14mm bolts were required. HD 2 link ladder chains "fit" on the rear of my 2012 and clear the...
