    Simple WOOD STOVE Build

    I wanted to build a larger woodstove for my shop and keep it as simple as possible. I started with an insert that was in my basement fireplace and was very inadequate and inefficient. I cut the entire face plate off of the insert and, after cleaning it up, I welded it to a piece of 26"x1/2"...

    PTO PROBLEMS

    I have a 1993 Massey Ferguson 231 with right around 1800 hard hours on it. My problem is that the PTO has started disengaging itself while in use.
