if I understand this correctly.....the retaining wall will become part of the rear wall of your shed and not separate from the building.....if this is correct then the retaining wall will be considered part of your building and thus the foundation for it would need to be below frost...

from the pictures it doesn't look like you have a surface water problem it looks like you have a subsurface water problem.....meaning high water table......that will fluctuate throughout the year and if that is the case then I'd recommend talking to the locals and see what they do as the local...

I don't know why I didn't think of this years ago......just used some bungee cord to strap on a piece of plywood on the pallet forks then strapped on a gas leaf blower.....the pallet forks will raise and lower as well as tilt and side to side can be accomplished by turning the steering...

the plow on the 400 series is 5 ft so with normal snow I will set it perpendicular to the tractor and plow a 5 ft wide swath right down the center of the drive.....once I angle the blade fully this reduces the effective plowing width down to 30" - 36" and I plow the remaining snow on each side...

don't you just hate that......:laughing:.......with four northeasters in the last three weeks I'm leaving mine on until tax day.......nice pics and vids......I didn't take any plowing but took one when the snow started and another one walking the dogs after I finished the drive........Jack

these are the teeth on my grapple....mr could you post a pic of your teeth since you have sharpened them?.........Jack

hopefully you will find some solace in these words.....Jack

one of the reasons I got the pt was its versatility and ease of switching attachments........after the snow stopped from this recent storm I went to plow the driveway which is 1/4 mile long through the woods......I put the plow on and got about half way down the drive when I came upon some...

thanks to barry's inspiration I added a soft cab to my pt.......wish I had done this years ago......since I have a tall boy my size parameters were a little different as well as the engine would be sitting inside the cab so I needed the flexibility to adjust the sides to make sure I would...

this is what I did.......ran wire up through existing grommet hole to outside of pipe.....got a piece of small steel angle.....painted it black and clamped to round post of rops to protect wire.......covered exposed piece of wire with electrical tape....been like this for 12 years with no...

just wanted to give a warning to everyone.......I had placed my PT brush cutter for sale on the tractorbynet classified section and was contacted by a scammer........fortunately I recognized it for what it was an killed the deal before losing anything. Here's what to watch out for: 1) they...

my irish wolfhounds looking for something to chase..... and the female as a puppy helping me pull vines off the trees......

all shiny and new.......almost hate to to put grease in them......haha........final cost.....96 cents for two zerks and a whole lot of time and trouble.......they are 1/4 - 28 zerks......if anyone orders them online make sure you specify short stem as there is a long stem version also......Jack

Just listed my brush cutter and stump cutter in the classifieds if anyone is interested......Jack

So I'm doing my 8 hour grease.........on my pt I have 22 grease points.........except when I'm done I've only counted 20 and I've run out of tractor......so I go back to see where I missed two and come across this........sheared two of the zerks right off.......I can't even explain how I could...

finally found the solution to your problem.........bet you wouldn't even mind getting off the PT to use it..........Jack

thats interesting.......mines straight up and down with no angle.........Jack

I'm nearing my 10 year anniversary on my PT purchase and I've been thinking of selling a couple of attachments so I went over to the PT site to check the current prices.......and that of course led me to add up the cost of everything I originally bought to see what it would cost me...

Landscaping helper.......this is what happens if you don't leave a few sticks on the ground for them to play with....haha

It couldn't get this vine off the tree.....so I had to enlist someone to help me..........Jack

Was just out in the garage getting the PT ready for the upcoming snow storm.......chains on the tires....lube......rubber mat on the plow......and I kept getting a whiff of something burning. I had the garage door open so I thought it was coming from outside somewhere......kept checking and...

Yup I've gotten that polar bear comment too......haha! The fence you see in the background is 7 feet high....because he was jumping the 5 foot high one when we first got him.......leaping over it like a freaking deer! ......Jack

With the snow and ice finally melted away I have been able to get into the woods to do a little spring cleaning of trees that have fallen or are about to fall. Had one that had the potential of hitting the house so I needed to deal with it before the big spring storms did it for me. I carefully...

This seems to apply to quite a few places this winter.....haha

This is the spaghetti of hoses that is left over after pump removal.

Well my winter fun continues........was out plowing during the latest 19" snow blast when I lost all power to the wheels. I was down at the bottom of the drive clearing out on the road when everything just went....no warning...no sounds......just suddenly no resistance on the treadle and I...

Just being without the PT for one storm made me realize how much I depend on it and what a critical piece of equipment it is for me to have. I know many are getting it a lot worse than I have and I usually enjoy the winters....watching the snow fall....romping around in it with the dogs......a...

Ok....I'm back in business........one thing I did notice by having the studs in the wheel hub.....it makes it much more difficult to tighten the wheel nut with a standard wrench.......would be much easier with a socket. Having the studs on the hub does make installing the tires much easier...

Hi all.......had to do some heavy duty plowing today with deep heavy snow and ice and with all the back and forth and turning the bolts on one wheel came loose which of course I didn't notice until it was to late. Several bolts stripped out and in the process looks like they damaged the threads...

We've had a hellacious winter here this year....not an enormous amount of snow but an incredible amount of sleet and ice. After taking a header last weekend on our new "skating rink" which had previouisly been known as our driveway, I have decided I need a different attachment to deal with this...

All the opossum stories reminded me of this....happened a couple of weeks ago. I let our Pyrenees out for his nightly duty in the fenced portion of our property. Fence is 7 feet high because he was able to jump the 5 1/2 foot one when we first got him. So I don't wory about him getting out and...

I'm looking to get a 22 revolver for plinking and target, just a fun gun. I'm thinking single action but double would be fine also. My daughter would be shooting it most of the time so nothing big or heavy. What would you suggest preferably under $400? Thanks Jack

I've had an annoying little problem for the last few months that had alluded me until today. Since this past winter when starting up, the wheel motors wouldn't engage unless I let the machine warm up for a few minutes. I figured it was just the cold even though it is kept in a semi-heated...

Happy Birthday MR, glad you had nice celebration. I on the other hand woke up early and found heavy snow falling. Weather people said it would be ending at noon so I waited to plow. Of course these were the same weather people who said 2" - 4" maximum when I went to bed. Found 12"+. Now...

Finally had a chance to use the stump grinder and came away pretty pleased. The thing is a beast. Once mounted it reminds me of one of those battling robots. Went thru the stumps I had with no problems. I also didn't experience the chip throw back that has been mentioned. This could be because...

Does anybody here have any experience with the tree shear attachment for the 425 series? I'm curious how well it works and what tree sizes it can handle in actual practice. I know it's pricey but I've got 14 acres of woods to thin out so it could be well worth it. Thanks Jack

... lighten up on the torque to the oil filter!!! Finally reached my first oil change. Oil came out relatively easily after I rigged a plastic funnel from the drain plug thru the hole which was slightly off center. However I can not get the filter off. Tried hands (yeah, right!), socket filter...

Well we got our first good snowfall last night of 12 inches so I got to try out the PT for snow removal. My previous machine was a small craftsman tractor and this snowfall would have required 2 plowings at the 6 inch marks. That would have meant a 5 am wakeup call. The old machine also took...

Parking \"break\" So far the break in period of the new machine has been relatively harmless. Mostly a few hose connections that needed tightening. Biggest problem has been with the parking brake. Don't find a need to use it much but I did when digging a drainage swale by our driveway...

2425 and attachments delivered. Of course it's been raining almost nonstop ever since but I have been able to accomplish some small projects. Machine is everything I had anticapated and more. Grapple bucket is quickly becoming my attachment of choice. Don't feel any of the concerns of...

Well in a week or so I will be joining this merry band of power trac owners. I sent my check in and delivery should be sometime the week of the 10th. I ordered a 2425 with bunch of toys, er tools, to go with it. I selected the 2425 over the 425 and 1430 not because of use but because of the...
