Can you see these?
I put the pieces back together. The bushing below the top link pin holes was worn so I replaced it with the new shiny piece shown in the pictures.

We bought a cordless Milwaukee drill and impact driver. I used the impact driver to fix a door hinge problem.
The door to the master bath is a heavy 32" solid core door. It was installed using tiny screws that only secured the hinges to the soft 3/4" door frame. These short screws could not hold the weight of the door so the door sagged. You had to lift the doorknob in order to close the door.
I replaced the 3 short screws in each hinge with 2 1/2" long screws. These screws were long enough to secure the door hinges to the studs in the wall. Using the impact driver to drive the long screws into the studs was wonderful. There was no issue with stripping the phillips screw heads. When the resistance of the screws became great enough as they went deeper, the impact driver automatically switched from screw driver mode to impact driver mode. It makes me never to want to use a drill again for screwing screws.
Here's the door after installing the long screws. You can see it is no longer sagging. The door closes smoothly now.

Ayup, I saw 'em just fine that time!
Thanks for reposting them.
Do you have some box blading work to do, or are you just tying off loose ends?

2X on that- I was hanging a ledger board on our banrs studs for a shelf running all 45' front to back at 8' up, and using a socket and rachet to drive the lag screws in, and after just a couple my arms and hands started to protest (a combo platter of carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, and nerve damage from a blown disk I had to have pulled out of my neck), just then I remembered that I have an impact wrench and using that they screwed in slick as poo from a goose and with only the work of holding on and pulling the trigger.
Since then, I also just bought an air-powered socket wrench on clearance from TSC, but I haven't had an occasion to try it out yet.

My primary objective for the BB repairs is to put weight on the back of the tractor so I lift heavier stuff with the FEL. Being able to pull the 5x8 trailer without removing the BB is something I have wanted to do for quite a while.
There is always BB work that could be done around here. For example, there is an area near the garden my wife would like to be reshaped.

Obed - Can I suggest you paint that box blade now that you repaired it ?
You state that you are going to leave it attached to your tractor as a ballast so maybe paint it to match the tractor colors.

Obed - slow down the rust and pride in the condition of your equipment.
You don't store your equipment in a barn, garage or shed so the weather takes its toll on the condition of it sooner or later.
