steel

Now that Ford has had about 10 years putting their F150 and Superduty in the field how are they working out for for the TBN'ers? I was skeptical at first, thinking they would damage easily. Now I'm wondering why more manufacturers have not gone to Al. Coming from Northern Vermont where rust is...

My 1997 Ford F250 side mirror had a bracket held on with a regular steel bolt threaded into the end of a stainless steel rod and it's rusted stuck. I snapped the head off. I'm soaking the stub in PB Blaster right now and will put Kroil on it tomorrow. Any ideas how to get the bolt stub out? I...

Hi Our community farm has a 6’ wide bush-hog mower that sees a lot of use. The unit is probably 15 years old at least. Recently it was noticed that a stress crack had developed in the mower deck ribs. The crack runs thru the ribs just in front of the two lower mount points of the 3-point...

Need to get some drill bits for around the farm. Thinking cobalt?

Don't see any reason this shouldn't work. It's made to pretty much the same dimensions as the original tires. I've already got one welded up, gonna do the other one next and try it out after I get some new tines on it. I've seen countless videos of small hand tractors and tillers from india and...

I have a gas motorhome. I want to tow a car-- either 4 wheels down (car only) or on a trailer. Weight is a concern as there are mountains in every direction. I found a lightweight trailer-- but it is aluminum. I know nothing about aluminum trailers. Is aluminum up to the rigors of road...

Hi can anyone tell me if i can convert my 1995 Ford 7740 with steel mudguards to the later (1998) plastic fenders and were can i buy them?

The 'Speed Changer' that I have, blew a gear.... long story short, cheaper to buy new one (almost $4K) than replace the parts. The speed changer hangs onto a bracket so it's mounted to the 540 PTO. Multiplies the output by a factor of 4x so I can power my hydraulically powered 15' mower...

Why do a lot of heavy duty equipment trailers have steel plates over the tires on an otherwise wood deck? Is it a usable access point for the axles or something? Am I missing out by my tandem trailer not having that? Random Example:

I recently bough a s355 steel pipe for 3.3€/kg (~1.8USD/pound). I only needed 4 feet and the full implement weighted only 300 pounds so I didn't complain too much. On the other hand, if I were making a 2000 pound subsoiler (on my bucket list), then the current price of steel is unacceptable...
