I have 800ah.. and while I am fully aware of the benefits of going 24/48, my current system is 12v.. I will upgrade it in the future.

45watts

Nope, Washington county. The insulator was about 3ft off the ground on the tree.

We currently have a 12 volt, cooler styled fridge/freezer that works exceptional and purchased as a lightning deal on Amazon. It has worked fantastic so far. Haven't fully decided on what we'll end up in the future.. like you said, the "normal" size 12 volt ones are pretty outrageous.. as are...

Yeah, I guess I should have clarified.. so maybe not a TLB.. but a tractor with a fel in the 50hp range.. and a plow or snow blower.. and everyone has talked me out of getting a backhoe for it.. I'll rent an excavator and other.

On our first visit to our new property in Maine we explored a lot, trying to find the property lines. Honestly we probably only covered maybe 10% of the property if even that.. Nothing really strange just odd.. like how the hell did this get out here? it's very remote.. the usual though...

Snow plow or snow blower, not the bucket.

They go on and on really. We met our closest neighbor about a half-mile farther in. There are several cabins/camps.

The un-maintained part is about a mile. I do have neighbors that also keep it up as well.

Actually we would be ok with it being a little more isolated. 😄 Closest services are 20-30 minutes away. We already have a solution in place for washing/drying clothes.

dang.. no cab is a deal-breaker

Thank you and noted!

So if anyone in interested, and most probably won't be.. we made a video of our trip to our off-grid property.. if you like trees and fall leaves and don't mind suffering through a looooong drive off the main road to our gravel road and property give it a watch. Disclaimers: 1) this is my...

South of Calais, 26 acres on a lake with a stream running through it. Probably will be clearing half an acre for the house. There will be several driveways/roads through the property. Probably .5 mile total. The house or I should say cabin is going to be fairly small and I've designed...

Yes, yes it is.. :) Blessing and a curse.. we have lots of rocks for retaining walls and other things.

That 5100 series is definitely nice. What is an average price for one with a FEL and cab?

I like it.. unfortunately I don't have that much cash and not sure how easy it is to go about getting financing for something that old with a decent interest rate.

Right... the one I'm looking at has a cab... no way I'm getting one with no cab.

Thick, untouched forest that I'm going to need to make some roads through. Moving trees and brush, a lot of firewood carrying. Grapple for moving trees and large rocks. Will need a box blade for the road work and a plow for snow when it comes. Digging a small basement as well as a sunken...

Here's the tractor I was looking at. TYM 474

I really wish I could afford to buy a mini excavator. Due to the distance to the nearest rental place and how long I would need to rent one I can see renting becoming quite expensive which led me to the backhoe option.

Next summer we are planning on moving from south Georgia to Maine.. yes, Maine.. yes, we know, it's cold there.. lol... We bought 26 acres off-grid and I will need to do a lot of clearing.. making roads.. a lot of digging.. fel work.. grapple (trees, limbs, rocks) and snow plowing as the...

It's all working now. I found an electromagnet of close to the same specs and mocked up a new idler bracket. Auto-idler works and I've got the high-idle set to 3600rpm.. Front receptacles putting out 117volts.

Christmas came early.. My new torch setup.. Was nice to see some made in USA in the setup as well.

I found the problem with the auto-idler.. The solenoid is toast.. tested continuity and there was none.. removed the wire wrap and one wire was completely gone.. the second one crumbled away in my fingers.. they deteriorated all the way into the solenoid and after taking it apart I can't even...

After fighting with carb problems the good news is that the generator works and it welds!! The bad news is that the auto idler doesn't seem to work and the high idle is too low (2800-3000rpm). A/C output is only around 95volts. I checked voltage betweens wires 213 and 5 (using schematic for...

From the good 'ole days.. funny, from this video you'd think DC arc welding would be extinct.

Mark, as always, thank you.. Well, I got number 1 on Friday (I know it's been awhile since I started this thread, but the seller still had it), the Lincoln WeldanPower.. And I got it for 350.00!!! The bad news (well, not really) is that it either needs a starter or starter solenoid. But it...

Odd but I just came across several used welders all at once and would like some ideas on what they're worth: Lincoln Weldanpower. Older.. Looks a little rough, good bit of rust.. Has leads but not sure how long.. Has the Briggs & Stratton 16HP I/C engine.. no idea on the hours and doesn't...

Examples:

First, let me say I don't know any details yet on this. It's on Craigslist and it's about a mile from my house. I've been looking for a welder and I've been looking for a generator so this looks like I'd be killing 2 birds with 1 stone. It's mounted on a truck so it's been in the weather and...

I first learned of EA at last years Expo in Moultrie, GA. They had a lot of there attachments there and I really enjoyed looking and talking to them. Does anyone know if they'll be back this year?

so yeah.. your 501 looks much better than mine.. I initially got mine for mowing around my pond (even though it doesn't go much below horizontal) and it works ok for that... then I decided I wanted to cut hay with it and it didn't do so well.. a closer look revealed why... some of my blades...

Like this.. you'll have to look from the center of the u-joint.

Don't most tanks have a stand pipe of sorts so stuff that settles at the bottom of the tank won't get in the line? On my 3000 it's an in tank filter that stands an inch or so from the bottom.

I got it running although I haven't fixed the leaky radiator yet. Replaced the fuel shutoff which came with a new filter attached. Replaced the fuel filters with spin on adapters and cleaned out the lines and filter plate. After priming it started right up and ran fine. New filters with...

Just a small cellular 4g hotspot from Verizon. Works extremely well and has a really good battery life. Small. 3.5x2.5. Fits in your pocket.

The setup. :-)

No SSD.. The Win7 The Win8

It's the rotary CAV/Lucas pump. Looks like the one below.

Soundguy, somebody, please help me out. My 3000 is making me pull my hair out. I bought it a year ago and it's constantly something new giving me problems. First the PTO wouldn't stay engaged. I was desperate to get some work done so I wound up keeping the heel of my boot against the lever...

Good afternoon. Anyone have any tips or tricks to make a water pump replacement go any faster/smoother on a '69 Ford 3000? Thanks in advance.

Picked this up last weekend. Seller didn't know the brand. It's a 6 foot pull behind with a Comer gearbox. The gearbox is tight as a drum and still full of oil even though he stated it's been sitting for 10+ years. PTO shaft is frozen so I have to get it to slide. Any idea what make this is?

Good afternoon. Lots of great posts in this forum. We currently have an Allis Chalmers B that I've got torn down. It needs more work than I have money/time to invest in it right now. We have a Ford 600 that just got put back together after a new clutch and front axle pin/bushing. Also have...
