Good deal if you have something to pull it with. Pintle hitch works great if you have a large truck. Not so great with a pick up. Triple axle eats tires pretty bad until you learn NOT to turn too sharp if can help it.
No problem rigging pallets to lift - just make sure you put the lifting straps or chains under the pallet runners & not under the top planks. Connect straps to the beam behind the bucket if the load is greater than the loader will lift from the bucket lip. You can tell when the rear end is...
Probably had some, but we poured slow out of the bucket - that was about 15 years ago & the 120' tower is still standing on the ridge. The onsite engineer watched the pour & approved it, but we all agreed it wasn't the best solution to the problem - but it was the only way to get the concrete up...
It can be done, as said above - biggest issue is separation of mix while hauling. We hauled 27 yards about 3 miles up a mountain in 2 big loaders one time for a tower foundation, basically the same as what you are doing - drilled piers with sonotube. Ours were 6' diameter & 25' deep.
Not sure about early, but here in West Tx, we had a very dry year - I got more rain one night a couple of weeks ago than I had since Sept 2021.
The mesquite trees produced more beans this year than I have seen in a long time, cover the ground about 1" deep. Oldtimers tell me that means a rough...
You need a gland wrench to unscrew the gland nut. Amazon has them. A good welder can build one. The gland will unscrew, the rod & piston can them=n be removed from the barrel. Looks like the rod may be bent to me. A machine shop can build a new rod. If you weld it protect the chrome on the rod...
Easiest way to put a wheel on any type of hub with lug bolts. Roll the tire onto a bar under the hub & use the bar as a lever to raise the tire/wheel into place. You can move the bar left/right to turn the wheel enough to line up the bolts.
Maybe this link will help?

You should be able to get to a PDF of the operators manual that will show the fuze box.
Trailer battery may be backfeeding through the charger to a shorted wire. If the truck was feeding a short it would blow the fuse. Has to be the trailer battery or something that is un-fused to burn up the wires. There is probably a diode in the charging circuit that is bad.
Easy way is to take a grinder/cut off wheel & put 1, 2, or 3, notches on the handle, head, grip - whatever. Doesn't take much - just make sure your friends don't use the same number of notches!
Manufacturers have engineers that run the calcs on stress & loading & they specify weld process, weld size & joint configuration required. If the loads on a particular joint doesn't need CJP to hold then the manufacturer isn't going to waste the costs of beveling, & welding when a simple fillet...
Measure center to center on the attachment holes on the tractor. Tie one end of the cylinder to to something solid. hook a comealong to the other end. Set the cylinder ends at the center measurements. Install & forget about it.
I had a welder with an ONAN engine. It started burning out batteries. Found a bad voltage regulator. Engine was making 18 volts & overcharging the battery. Simple to test for - check battery voltage while it is running.
Brush & sticks in your back fill will rot & disintegrate over time leaving channels for water to seep through. You said there was limb trash in your original back fill? That might be the problem here.
I replace wood floors with 6" C purlin. Never have to do it again. Roll on paint when your done & sprinkle some balst sand over the wet paint for traction. Or bed coating.
Makes a real good long lasting floor.
Several different grades of rebar. Some weldable some are not. Some are bendable, some are not. Check the markings as shown above & do some research if the project is critical.
We use a lot of these type coax hangers in the tower business, but thye work great for securing hoses on equipment.

Looks to me like the vertical shaft has slipped down - see where it has been rubbing on the housing? This drops the beveled gear down where it won't engage the horizontal shaft.
We had some heavy duty bolt on forks for a backhoe. What we did was weld some large washers on the inside of the bucket where the clamp bolts touched the bucket. This gave us a fixed width, but that was where we needed to keep them anyway. The bucket had a reinforcement plate in line with the...
It is possible that your rim is cracked. That would cause the tubeless to leak down & could be pinching the tube when it flexes causing the tube to go flat. If the tube leak is on the inside radius that is what it is. Just take some duct tape & wind it a few layers on the rim before you mount...
Just an FYI, even though this is an OLD post - There is a company that specializes in re-powering equipment like welders, mowers, small tractors, etc. Oddly enough they are called Repower Specialists.

They have a lot of info regarding the different shafts on...
Looks like a blower fan for a IH or AC cotton stripper to me. Creates an air stream that sucks the cotton out of the header & blows it into the basket. Probably Allasion Chalmers.
That deck fitting has a tube that goes to the bottom of the waste tank into the fluid. As long as the vacuum hose doesn't reach the liquid it only pulls a vacuum on the tank. Only oil that will go into the vacuum tank is maybe some mist droplets caused by the agitation.
If it is an engine driven PTO it is probably power up, gravity down. For some reason the valve isn't opening to let the fluid flow back from the cylinder. Coul be electric solenoid, stuck mechanical valve, bad relat, etc.
Yes REALLY! Like I said - believe it or not. I can find a line most of the time within a foot. Lay an extension cord out on the ground & try it. you'll be surprised.
Called Hydro-excavation. Oilfield uses it exclusively in gas plants. Big truck with vacuum pump & tank, uses high pressure to cut the soil out & the vacuum to suck it up. Ditch with makes a smaller version that is trailer mounted.
Use witching rods along the trench path. It will get you close believe it or not.
Two welding rods bend 90 degrees in L shape. Hold short leg loosley in each hand pointing in direction you are walking. When you cross the power line/water line they will turn towards each other. The line will be...
John Deere uses some type of corrugated tube for the condensate drains. The run down inside the front cab columns. You can pull a rubber plug out of the bottom & you will find the tube has an S bend in it at the bottom like a sink drain. Pull the tube out & you can run a wire up it to clear the...
One trick to cleaning hyd screen without draining oil. Put a shop vac in the filler tube, turn it on, pull plug, remove screen, put plug back in turn vac off. Clean screen & do it again to replace it. You will loose a few drops of fluid, but not much.
Actually, in Texas anyway, the boundary marker takes precedence over the meets & bounds on a survey. I figured it would be the other way, but a lawsuit I was involved in proved otherwise. Cost the company about $100k.
A tower anchor was placed 5' inside the line per the meets & bounds, but 12'...
That is a fusible link or "trap". When it is installed the line is hot when it is out the line is de-energized. It serves as a protection for lightning & as a safe way to kill power down the line for service.
Yea, but if you hire $22 an hour workers they need to be able to produce $44 an hour worth of product/service. Finding hands that will do that is hard!
If your right hand cylinder seals are bad the fluid is bypassing pressure internally in the cylinder. Could be the issue. Test it by raising the FEL a foot or so from the ground, remove hoses on the suspect cyinder & plug both ports & the hoses. The you can lower the FEL (not running the...
Drill as big a hole as youcan in the center of the stump, then another hole from the side angled down into the center hole, fill with diesel until it runs out of the hole on the side. Let is soak for a day, then light it up & it will burn down from the inside out.
