Like everyone else here, I have to comment on your building. I‘m very impressed, nice well thought out build!

Me 3, I also have the M&P 15-22, I agree with Sigarms, action is fairly loud while shooting suppressed. I probably shoot .22 more than any other round. I really enjoy bolt action .22 shooting. First suppressor was a Silencer Co Sparrow, but after shooting with my brother who bought a Dead air...

I joined facebook specifically to list my Tractor on Marketplace a couple of years ago. It sold quickly to a cash buyer. I’ve sold a vehicle and several tools I no longer needed since selling the tractor, all on Marketplace. I think it may be worth it for you to set up a Facebook account, (I had...

Cut and split a dead leaner today. This winter is my first year to use the forks and tote cages, working Pretty well so far. My best improvement to my process is the ”Log lifting tables” that I added last year. I lower the splitter and load them up with rounds then lift to a good working height...

That is an amazing pantry!

After the forge you may want to come up with an anvil, here’s what I came up with for mine.

Mine’s very crude, frame is from an old table saw.

I cobbled together a forge from the bottom of a 100lb propane tank. I gutted a hair drier (removed heating element) for the forced air, incorporated an air damper to control the air flow. I use hardwood lump charcoal for the heat source. I’ve found it surprisingly useful to have around. Mike

Great way to build, but I hear you on wanting to get out of your temporary home. My wife and I started out by buying our land and setting up a mobile home behind where our future home would be built. We worked a saved for two years while living in the trailer. I did a lot of the work on the...

That should make some beautiful flooring!

I agree, I now have a dedicated grinder shelf for everything grinding related. How about zip tied to the cord for the arbor nut? Yes you cut the zip tie when you need it but if you’re like me have a large zip tie collection.

If applicable check any safety switches (Seat, PTO), tap hammer on starter.

Sounds like something that I’d do. So much better than actually having low oil pressure! Mike

Congratulations on your purchase, looks like a clean machine. Mike

Thanks for the updates, glad to see you’re moving forward with your projects. Will you be installing the carport or having a company erect it? I’ve considered adding a carport on my property, your 6x6 base may be the way I eventually do mine. Mike

I hear what you’re saying, we didn’t finance our tractor either. I look at at like a kick to the b@lls, sure I’d survive it (if the tractor was lost with no insurance), but with the insurance on it, I have one less thing to worry about. Mike

After I bought my L3901 I had my insurance rep. add it to our homeowners, cost about $80 more a year. I added it after a fire scare myself. Mice had built a nest against the exhaust manifold, while brush hogging one day I smelled smoke, I wasn’t far from my house so I headed that way. That nest...

Looks like something I’d get myself into, but I’d have a lot more trouble getting it out. I’d love to have an excavator, glade you got it out without damage Eddie. Mike

Thanks for posting this info mike69440. I have a L3901 and a RTV900, the L3901 I’m happy with current power, and it’s still under warranty so not goin to mess with it for now. My RTV however is a 2005, It could use a bit more power for hills while pulling a trailer with firewood. I have even had...

I was a rural volunteer Firefighter before I was hired by a large city FD, Rural and City Firefighters in my area both make aggressive interior attacks with power still on. In a perfect world, of course it would be ideal if power were disconnected prior to fire suppression efforts. The size and...

I’m a retired professional Firefighter, The Fire Department I worked for absolutely starts fire suppression BEFORE the power company disconnects the electrical service. Mike

I have been saved by having bought a title insurance policy on a flip house I bought years ago. I bought a home, remodeled it and listed it for sale. Buyers title company did a title search and found a vendors lien tied to the property (why my title company didn’t find it when I bought it, I do...

I’m intrigued, have any pictures to share? Mike

I agree with 5030, I’d check the float, sounds like it’s not shutting off the fuel as it should. I can’t advise you on that particular carb. I sure someone more familiar will offer advise. Mike

Neil Young- Down by the river

Recently bought a new Stihl saw, asked for a cash discount, was told sorry, but we will give you a 6 pack of the synthetic oil and sign you up for the additional year of warranty. So as of a month or so ago the extra year/synth oil warranty was still available. Mike

Nice score. Did you “weld” that plastic yet? I’m curious about how the plastic welding works out. My old Grizzly has some cracked plastic, I have thought about the plastic welding for it. Thanks, Mike

Finally got the email, Tax stamp approval. It was about a week short of ten months to get approval. Dead Air Mask 22, picked it up this afternoon and put about 100 rounds through it. I’m extremely happy with how quiet it is. Mike

Thanks to the OP for sharing info/pictures of your “Old Hoe” I really like it. I watch locally for a decent used backhoe but price or condition has kept me out of the market. I have several large stumps I need to remove for a future shop. I’d like to have before I get to old To build/enjoy it. Mike

Great points, congratulations on the purchase! Mike

I recently disconnected my log splitter from my tractor but forgot about the pump disconnect (pto driven) luckily I was looking at the splitter as I started to pull away. That could have cost me a couple of hydraulic lines. Mike

We all have or doh moments. If it were mine I wouldn’t feel comfortable until I completely drained the tank and lines. Mike

ptsg to the rescue once again! We’re very lucky to have members so knowledgeable and willing to offer great advice! Mike

Looking great! Bring on the summer! Mike

Modified the IBC’s I picked up, the L3901 had no problems picking them up and shuffling them around. I’ll probably keep an eye out for more totes, but I don’t expect to find them as well priced as these ($20 each).

Scored two totes for $20 each this morning from a Marketplace listing. Very good price for my area, typically $50 and up. Mike

Great setup you have there Rob!

Great story, that young man has a bright future. Thanks For sharing the story Mike

I’m not worthy, well my tractor isn’t anyway, pretty sure she couldn’t lift that pallet. That’s a beast! Mike

I found someone with two about a 1/2hour drive from me tonight on Marketplace, if it pans out I’m picking them up in the morning for $20 each. Mike

I only have one of these and am actively searching for more. I handle my wood too much (what did I say) anyway, with my loader forks for moving I like them. I cut the one I have just as you have. Plans are to go right from the splitter into the bins. I have some metal lying around looking for a...

Interesting project you have going on there, thanks for sharing Mike

It‘s a 13 year old post, probably no longer available

Good updates are always appreciated, glad things worked out. Mike

That’s pretty inexpensive, what do you use for the container?I’ve been reading about the FF treatment, our newest vehicle is a 4 year old Honda Pilot. Last oil change I did, i saw a bit of surface rust on some panels underneath the vehicle. I cleaned them up and hit them with rust oleum. I’m...

That is odd, maybe worth testing the battery. I won’t recommend it to anyone but I may have zip tied my seat switch. I use my PTO to drive a pump for my log splitter, after a few times of it shutting down as I get up to start splitting was enough for me. Mike

No idea on the efficiency of mine, Probably not great, it gets plugged in about the same time the pool gets opened. I definitely use more electricity those months, seem to drink more beer then too. Mike

Here’s a few pictures of my 1950’s GE “Beer Fridge” it lives in our outdoor pavilion, currently unplugged for winter. My great grandmother bought it new. The freezer box is not auto defrost so it will eventually turn into an almost solid block of ice. I manually defrost it a couple of times...

My beer fridge out in our pavilion was my great grandmother’s from the 1950’s. I got It from my parent’s basement about 7 years ago. It had sat there unplugged not in use for a long time. I was at moms one day and asked about it since I liked the look. Figured it didn’t work, I plugged it in and...

I think I’m on my third set of seat covers on mine. I’m back to a more OEM type now, A replacement set I bought that was camo did not hold up well. Mike

I need to come up with a 4 wheel drive indicator. I sometimes forget to disconnect the front axle. Mike

Sad but true, I was one of “The Old Timers” , The younger guys will have a hard time retiring young. They are under a “Hybrid 401” not a defined benefit plan like I have. Mike

It’s part of my pension Mike

I walked at 45, approaching 8 years of retirement. I highly recommend it😬

My first tractor was a Massey Ferguson 135 Diesel, inherited from my dad. It was a good tractor but two wheel drive and no front end loader. I upgraded to a Branson with four wheel drive and a front end loader close to 20 years ago. That tractor opened up a new world of capabilities, I swore to...

I‘m Blessed to have a state pension, that I earned (Retired Fire). I’m not of age to receive Soc. Security yet. Due to having that pension my understanding is I will receive about 1/3 of the Soc. Security monthly benefits, (Windfall Elimination Provision). I did not pay into Social security...

Congrats on the RTV, my 900 has been great to me for going on 18 years. Mike

You and your helpers should be proud, the place looks great! summer will be here before you know it. All the hard work is soon to pay off. Mike

When I added my clean out tee I put it near center of the sink run. I found out like AWSubie that I had to run both directions, to the sink and to the septic stack. I put a bucket under the clean out, not a real pleasant job, but better than paying someone else to do it. Mike

I battle our kitchen sink drain fairy often. It’s drain line is a long run to the main septic “stack” Sink is on an outside wall with my septic stack on the opposite side of the house. I added a tee with a threaded clean out cap. It’s in an unfinished section of our basement. I run my power...

Great work being done by a great son! Mike

Thanks Oaktree, It’s a monster. 12” tall 10” wide, runs off PTO.

My first and only regen on my L3901 was at about 20 hrs. I had been running it like I had my old tractor (just added RPMS for the job at hand). I talked the regen over with my salesman and he said I should change my habits as far as the RPMS I was running. Since then after warmup I run the...

Sweet! It’s on my wish list! Do you have a suppressor for it? Mike

Something else to consider are they available, if you’re buying new? I wasn’t able to get my first choice (this was last year), may not be an issue now. Mike

Great pictures ^

Here’s a few things I use to start my fires. I save all scrap wood from woodworking projects throughout the year. Junk mail, Amazon boxes, dryer lint, toilet paper rolls Egg cartons, etc. I keep a bin handy that we collect most our daily trash that is suitable for fire starting. One of my best...

Liking the log rest I added to my splitter, I’m thinking it needs a little more space for more logs. I lower the splitter, roll rounds onto the rest then raise the splitter to a good working height. Big improvement, sure helping my back. Finally bought the saw I’ve wanted for a while, a new...

Thanks for sharing that video Gordon, quite a bit more efficient than my production line😬, I enjoyed watching it. Mike

My take on a simple log lift and table for my Three point splitter. I’ve wanted to add a log lift to my splitter for quite a long time, I’m not getting any stronger or younger. I also see the need for a table that one side of the split can rest on and not drop to the ground for me to have to...

Mine is about as old as yours, it’s seen pretty heavy use. I’m on the original carb. and it needs adjustment. It didn’t want to idle the day the clutch let go, along with taking quite a few pulls to start. I have it back together but haven’t started it. Mike

I appreciate that Dave, I took an old chain with me and had them install it on the new saw to make sure they were compatible. Mike

I ended up stopping by a local store (PC Lumber) they sell and service Stihl saws. They had the parts I needed. I borrowed my brothers new Stihl MS 261C while my 029 was down. I was amazed at the difference in power, I decided to pick one up for myself. I went with the same bar length so chains...

Thanks, I’m headed to our RK in the morning in search of parts, hopefully they can help me out. Mike

Good to know, hopefully that didn’t happen. Mike

Scratch that, I just hit it with the impact driver after the acetone transmission fluid soak and it broke free! Mike

Looking for some direction, I need to replace the clutch (under drive sprocket) on my old 029, it’s close to thirty years old. My attempts to break it free have not worked so far, it is really stuck. Is it a bad idea to remove the spark plug and insert some rope to lock the crankshaft in place...

long ago, I started using my last name followed by Remodeling (I flip houses) never actually set up a business. It’s worked for me for years, anytime I’m told “We only sell to trades” I usually just have to set up an account. I have a “Business“ credit card that I use that gives a 2% reward...

Good point😆

My Nephew (smart young man) sent me a list of unclaimed state property, with money owed to me. There were two refunds from utility companies. (I flip houses and have owned several in the past). Paperwork to prove I was the correct person owed the refunds was a little work, I got around $60 back...

Along the lines of marking filters w/miles/hours/date. I mark our car intakes (don’t have to look under them to find marked filter) with Date/miles, (old cars, no computer reminders) I also mark each one with oil capacity. I buy multiple filters at a time and mark the box as to which vehicle...

Filtration/Dryer parts arrived, need to make up a short connection Hose, almost have as much into it as the Plasma cutter. Mike

Thanks Cliff, I had planned the dryer at the tank then to my hose reel. I may put a Tee after the dryer and send one side to the reel and the other to a short hose for the plasma cutter. Here‘s the final on the project for my wife. Brake rotor isn’t attached to what’s supposed to be a snowman.

Picked up a ball valve and hardware I needed to have a good drain for my compressor tank. Close to ordering air dryers based on research and member recommendations. I did play around today with a project for my wife. yes it’s pretty scary, I used a old brake rotor for the circular cut, which...

Heavy duty large trash bag liners for catching anything exiting the bottom of the toilet helps too. I basically put the toilet bottom first into the trash bag. Mike
