Oh man!!!!!! Nice job on the log splitter (y) (y) I wanna (gonna?) make a log splitter in the worst way. I just gotta clear some of the 243,987 projects off the list. Love it sir!(y)(y)(y)

From a "newly minted retiree"......Welcome sir! Looking back, I am unsure of how I found time to go to work.....I'm "busier than a one armed paper hanger"...;) There are lots of talented and knowledgeable people here to learn from. 🍻 (y) (y) (y) (y)

I'm not sure exactly (I'll verify when I get home) but I think it's a 6 inch "KBC" brand. I used to drive by one of their showrooms daily, and I seem to remember picking it up on a "whim" about 25-30 'ish years ago, when I began "dabbling" in metal working. It's not great at any one...

Beautiful trucks fellas!!!!(y)(y)(y) Being from a "rust belt" state, those kinds of older vehicles don't tend to last long around here.:cry:

I know what I am "supposed to do".....BUT...... I'm running on year 4, and still haven't done mine. It's one of those things that is so low on my "priority list", it just never seems to get done. I know...I know....I'm the only one who procrastinates...blah...blah... maybe I'll get to it...

Nice job! Love that holding set up in the first pic too......(y)(y)(y) Also, while looking at your set up, I need/want an accurate way to measure the up/down of the quill.....So I'm thinking of getting a single axis DRO just for that... Got so many damn projects going at once though...

Second vote for Crutchfield.(y)(y) Although I have never used them for "speakers", I have installed a few radios from them and had terrific results.

Any suggestions on a hose brand that compliment those fittings? As posted previously, I ordered 50 feet of "Vevor" brand hose, but I ain't married to it......... It was just a "jumping off point" sort of..

I don't have one, but I'm unsure of what you have Vs. what you need? Do you have a picture of what you have already? Seems to me, that if you have the mounting bracket already, the "bucket shell" would be a rather "generic" design???? 🤷‍♂️

Oooooo....I didn't think about "pushing it".......That might be cool. My head immediately pictured "dragging" it backward????? Hmmmm.............. :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :unsure:

Thanks Dan!!! I will have to dive a little deeper into this. Kinda sounds like, in order to keep life simpler, I need to decide on a manufacturer and stick with them. During my "experimental phase" I have Vevor brand hose, and some sort of "mystery fittings" from the "Big A". I was getting a...

Interesting......... In my case the BH is off in seconds, but the damn 3 point stuff takes me "forever" to put on... Mostly cause I have to remember HOW to put it all on again :unsure: The SSQA Land plane might be cool.....BUT now that I think about it, having to drive backwards kinda sounds...

Yep, red diesel, it's the same.....100% Any of the "big named" anti-gel stuff works pretty good for our MI climate. You probably get a wee bit colder than we do in the mitten though....... One thing to remember regarding anti-gelling fluids is that there is a difference between the stuff that...

I am "less picky" about my coolants than I am of other fluids like oils and such. I keep a jug of "universal coolant" in the shop, and thats what everything gets. It's "Wally World" brand I think.....(maybe O'Riellys?????) That reminds me, I need to check my coolant.......
