So interesting watching you guys trouble shoot and come up with solutions. Bill

Is that a plug on the opposite side from the male connector? Maybe it is the right block being used the wrong way?

I'm looking at it this morning and wondering if with the tires off, could you use a magnetic base drill on the frame mount and drill the pins. It might take a few setups and sizes but some of those newer bits really cut fast. Their name escapes me but my son works for a bridge construction...

I worked with a guy like that, couldn't get a drain plug started on a piece of german made monofilament machinery. So he would hit it with a hammer while turning it with a wrench. Didn't quit till it was stuck but not tight and then refilled it with oil. I got the job when production complained...

Another non user here. Won't find a can of it in my garage. I am convinced it attracts rust. Bill

Thinking now your right about the outriggers. I put my BH77 on a dolly and use only the boom and bucket curl to get it loose at the pins and curl to then lower the BH to raise it out of the lower hooks. Avoiding the outriggers completely because I am in the garage. Bill

Along with spraying and getting the pressure off it with the stabilizers I wonder if you could carefully try a pickle fork/ball joint fork under the retainer pin area if you have one that is wide enough. Might get it to break loose that way? I have a set of chisels for my air chisel that...

Those F85's were a great looking/running car IMO! I remember my older brother having one with a 4 speed and probably that smaller v8. I was a year or 2 from having a license and wanted one of those but never had one. I wound up with a 64 rambler American with a 196.6 straight 6 and 3 on the...

I wonder if there is a lug bolt in that thread size that you might use instead or maybe a shorter stud is available. Don't know the thread and I am in the US so I go to places online like Rockauto or Mcmaster-Carr when needing something like that. Bill

I have that kind of conversation with my better half. I use my line of "it doesn't work like that" in explaining something she doesn't understand but in a polite way. My other line is" you can't beat math and science". Getting back to the loader arms I don't have your design skills but have to...

Looking at the OP 's picture I have to wonder about the design of welding that tube to the fish plate. The thickness of that could have been flexing above the cross tube on both sides leading to the break starting there. You can see there is more metal to flex above the tube as compared to...

Call me paranoid but I find these things just another step in the ability to track you. NY went to plate readers during covid on the thruway. Won't be long and they will have them on non toll roads and catch you for inspections, registrations etc. When they first were putting plate readers on...

Nice! We haven't anything that big so I have a little rock envy! Bill

Wife and I like the rocks too, she has many gardens. We have found a few nice ones in the woods but a best one is the "potato" It looks like a big brown russet, I would guess it is a piece of granite It is about 30" long and maybe 15" thru. We keep looking for those patches of moss on the...

I don't know but wonder if that style extender is going to add a flex point and defeat the purpose of your hydraulic top link for some attachments. Like say wanting to make a box blade tilt back. I made my own of the style Gaspasser referred to. That moved my top link out and works well. I will...
