    DIY Piston U-Cup Seal Installation

    Hey all! You do not have to purchase any special tools or pay a shop to install these difficult to install seals. Here is an easy DIY I found and had my mechanic watch it and perform the procedure. It does seem easier if the vice jaws are smaller. I think the best twine/rope to use is a smooth...

    DIY tractor cab.

    Save $8000 and build your own tractor cab. I built this for about $500.00. I have a new L2502 Kubota. Here in Canada the cab is $8000 so I built my own for $500. It is a very function strong cab if I do say so myself. DIY tractor cab.

    Actually a DIY repair but not specifically tractor related

    I have an old B. F. Barnes lathe that was probably made in the late 1890s and certainly no later than 1906. I have been acquiring age appropriate stuff to go along with it, stuff that was made no later than 1906. The lathe itself is in very good shape, not just cosmetically but also...

    Any smaller DIY mechanical thumb plans available?

    Just wondering if there are any diy mechanical thumb plans available for my 354 chinick tractor with a lw8 backhoe? I’ve found some kits on Ann but they are a weld together type so I thought I might as well just fab one up myself if possible, scrap metal being available locally.

    Yard trailer and quick dump

    A couple weeks ago I built rear 3 point control and got good feedback. This week I want to show you another if you want to look: It's a "trailer" that I can use to take with me on trips with the regular trailer. I also can use it to unload the truck in seconds. It also works to keep logs out...
