This shows the process of repairing a Civic with only 800 miles on it. It was a stick EX with a sunroof and alloy wheels. It was hit square on the left rear door and quarter panel and wheel. The top third of the alloy wheel cracked off and was shoved into the wheel well, crimping the gas filler...

My neighbor is a body man and I grew up around cars, tractors and machinery. He put me on to fixing late model wrecks which I've given to the kids. We've done three, an '03 Pontiac Vibe, an '05 Civic and an '05 Corolla. I pick cars that are crumpled away from the running gear, in the rear. The...

Made from a 250 gal fuel oil storage tank. Both ends open so you can put in a lot of long brush. The spark arrestor has 3/8" diamond shaped holes. In the middle, a lower door opens down for ashes and an upper door opens out for smaller stuff.

I joined TBN back in 2000 and posted over 600 post. I recently returned and the old user name/ password didn't work. After multple attempts I got up and going on Firefox. On the same Apple computer I can't get my new user name and password to work using Safari browser. Tomorrow I'll try to...

My wife's 2001 VW Beattle with 50,000 miles on a TDI diesel started to lose power and the previous MPG of 51 on the highway decreased. She drives only 3 miles to work, so alot of short trips. Here are a series of photos that graphically depict NOT working a diesel hard and NOT letting it...

Here in the north woods many automotive/truck/tractor repair shops heat with used oil, using oil furnaces specially made for that with fancy filter systems. I take my used oils to them. It builds a relationship that comes in handy.

I was going to post this earlier but my new Red Hat /Fedora operating system took some effort to conquer photo resizing. My homemade sprayer. 35 gallon capacity, sprays 14' swath or less, 11.5 gallons per acre or a hand wand can be used. 1)The green tank under the 35 gal polyethylene is a...

Since this discussion has gotten a lot more scientific lately, here is an interesting article re the additive Zn PO4. Under enough pressure this molecule complexes with itself and doesn't squish out between 2 metal surfaces thus supplying lubrication. The kicker is that that pressure is only...

Here is my solution for lighting. There are 2- 500 watt halogens on 3 hinged arms that stick out 9 feet from the sidewall. I have 9 foot ceiling and I also hang a power cord from it. It was one of my first welding projects with my Lincoln 200 Power Mig (230V) weldor

As a benchmark; a 1988 Ford 1720 with factory loader, ~730 hours, obviously shedded, shuttle transmission, no dings, originel ag rubber (fronts 1/2 gone, rears 1/3 gone) The foam was poking out the seat cushion.

When climbing on or off the tractor the FEL post is the natural hand hold, especially with senior citizen knees I welded-up this little diddy that's heavy enough to stay put and lifts out for zert access.

I just tried to download photos into the new Photo Gallery. It down loaded one from my computer of the original tree snipper. I put url of my post yesterday from Build it Yourself thinking it would "detect and parse" the photos from the thread. Instead it included personal photo...

More than a year ago I built a tree snipper that replaced the bucket on the FEL original post Here is an update. One handy feature is the ability to latch on to the tree after it's sniped and carry it to the brush pile.

Muhammed, I noticed that my number of posts is stuck at 514. Even my first post in April 2000 says 514.

Reversible air flow Bush hogging clogs my radiator big time. Dandelion fuzz then timothy seed head fuzz collect on the screen immediately infront of the radiator and to a lesser degree on the grill of my 1910 Ford Every 15 to 30 minutes I have to stop & raise the hood and clean it off. I...

http://www.grizzly.com/catalog/pages/431.cfm?&site=grizzly (The second picture down) Have any of you welder/fabricators had any experience with a swivel type bandsaw ( the bottom one on the linked page) This is set up more like a wood miter saw and enables 45 and even 60 degree cuts. I ran...

Lucknow snowblower under attachments M, the above thread comes up blank. If I go to my profile and access it from my list of all my posts it flips up. In the recent past when this happened, clicking on the 2d post would bring up the thread but not this time.

Another welding project. I got about $90 of precut steel in it. The vise was a cheap Indian steel(not cast) for $25. I plan to drill more holes for the vise-grip like clamp 6" or so away from the edge in the center. The square chunk out of the corner is handy, I have some copper sheat metal...

An early project with my new Lincoln MIG 200 welder. The cord rack has to "lean forward" so the 2 hinged bins on top of the welder will open. You can see the hinges on top of the welder. I bolted it to the welders handle. It didn't seem like a good idea to weld on the welder.

I'm getting into welding having supplemented my Lincoln 225A arc welder with a Lincoln Power MIG 200. Cutting the right angle so things join up nicely is part and parcel to a nice job. I have a metal cutting bandsaw and a new Milwaukee $160 chopsaw. Both are pretty clunky for cutting angles...

Several months ago( maybe a year) someone posted about a JD add-on grill guard and hood protecter for working in the woods and /or with a loader. I remember him saying it was buried on the JD Web site and he had a link. I thought he called it "tractor armor" I've searched the JD Web site but...

I went to Rural Living and all the folders are white as if read. This happens about every twentieth time I open a subject. Just prior to that I was in "Photos" and "Forum Feedback" and posts I had not read where appropiately in yellow. This has been happening for longer than a year so it doesn't...

I got a question for the TBN geek brain trust. When I put an URL into my Favorites list on IE 5.5 it usually has an unique symbol associated with that particular site. Upon subsequent openings of the Favorites list this unique symbol is replaced by the Internet Explorer symbol over a piece of...

Meg-mo makes an after market lawn mower blade that resembles a horizontal cutter. It is a disc (the stump-jumper) and 4 short 4-5" cutting blades that are hinged like on a horizontal cuuter.The recent Farm Show had a user who thought the short cutter blades were poorly tempered, had the same...

I have a Landpride 25-60 tiller that started leaking gear/chainbox oil at the tiller shaft seal. I brought the seal and was going to replace it but found at partial disassembly the I didn't have the tools (gear puller, chain hoist) to finish the job. I put the gear/chain case back on and pumped...

Here is my cup holder that is epoxied to the plastic headlamp cover. I drilled holes in the headlamp cover (it's plastic) and roughened the bottom of the PVC fitting and glued it with fast acting epoxy. It's held for 6 years running. There are drain holes in the bottom of the PVC fitting...

On the rear of my 4 wheel drive Ford 1910 one of the tires (13.6 X24") has split the side wall and has to be replaced. There is around 860 hours on the tires and the lugs are barely wore ( 10 - 15 %). Do I have to replace both? RCH

Here are 4 photos of a loader arm shovel bracket that took me about 2 hrs to make including a trip to Fleet-Farm for long stainless steel wormgear clamps. On the last photo (Bolens) are the old style brackets I originally used that are for hanging shovels etc on the wall. They were too flimsy...

Double "http://" corrupts urls Muhammad, when a URL is cut & pasted into a message, then the " bracket url bracket" LINK bracket/url bracket" manuever done to make a link, you end up with 2 "http://'s" in the URL that renders the link inoperative. Is that just the way it is? On my Internet...

Here is a place to store chains on the right loader arm. It's not in the way for me yet, but a 'level' bar on the loader may be obscured. I have a rod in a pipe for level and that's easily seen. I carry 2 chains, both about 18', one heavier than the other. The box is a Fleet- Farm generic tool...

Enclosed are photos of a sprayer I built for spraying Round-up prior to planting trees. The 1st photo shows a smaller ‘ gathering tank’ under the 35 gallon polyethylene tank that enables me to use all of the mixture with very little waste. This drains into the first filter through a ball...

I had an experince recently that the post on "Fire extinguisher" under Tractor Safety reminded me of. I have a penisula fireplace that was only into it's 2nd season ( I thought it took years for creosote to build up !). I loaded a fresh log in that broke up an already burning manufactured log...

Certainly one of the strengths of TBN has been it's civility. I am always impressed with the lack of flaming, insults, swearing, and bad-mouthing on TBN compared to other sites and I wonder why is that. I remember an insulting post about 6-8 months to the affect that the great thing about TBN...

M, when I read the thread "PTO GENERATOR" under attachments, only 40% or so is on my screen i e, there is a slider bar on the bottom that is needed to bring the right side of the message into view. I think that is the only thread that does that. Am I somehow out of adjustment? RCH
