I have never seen a radiator drain that used sealant, so if i were betting, I would put my money on the "o-ring". I usually try to use the petcock, but have used the "lower hose method" as well 🤷‍♂️ Both are usually "equally as messy"....I hate dealing with used coolant. It's probably easier...

Thanks for the kind words. I started using CAD a few years ago for some 3D printing, and have been SLOWLY progressing with it. Although I still struggle, it is slowly replacing my "bar napkin" drawings. And one thing I will say, is that I still mock things up; Cause even if you draw it with...

Where did you get your tires foamed? I looked one time and couldn't find a place that does it, and I could never find a "do it yourself" kit online. I'm not "super serious" about it, but I have considered it. Just wonder'n 🤔 (y)🍻

Were you thinking of something like this? If I recall correctly, the one both filter(s) is are"outside" the frame members, therefore to help protect that filter, I have that "tab" sticking out. As I type this, the same could probably be done for the other side.??? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

I have fabbed up some "filter guards" for my fuel, and hydraulic filters. (after a stick knocked it off) Since they rarely come off, it's not too much of an inconvenience. Although I agree with @North Idaho Wolfman sentiment, I could/would/understand see where a belly pan would be useful.🤷‍♂️...

Very nice job sir! Forgive my ignorance, is that a reference to what I "believe" are the O-rings for the ORB style fittings? Either way, nice job!!! (y) (y)

So your BH is bolted directly to the tractor? On mine, there is a "dock" that is bolted to the subframe, then the actual BH fits into 2 pockets on the bottom, then 2 "quick connect" pins at the top. or, were your subframe bolts loose?

Lucas Red-N-Tacky, Dewalt 20v grease gun, coupled with a Lock-N-Lube does 99% percent of my greasing. I do have a couple of manual "back ups" though..... Lincoln 1134's get my vote for manual ones. They hold up pretty well.

Well done sir!!!!! You're going to wonder how you ever got along without it.......especially the forks ;) ;) Congrats(y)(y)(y)

Thats pretty cool man! I have a similar set-up on my Craftsman lathe, although I don't have your patience. I have played with the gears a few times, but only for changing speeds and feeds. Never threaded anything on it (yet). I (obviuosly) have never seen your lathe, but one "trick" that...

I would want to purge it as well. It may be overkill, but personally, it would help me "sleep a bit better" knowing I had done it. Good luck (y) (y) (y)

I have been practicing with the bar of 4140 that I got, and this has lead me to order some tooling that I think will help. So as of now, I am waiting for the tools to get here, then continue practicing. One thing I have learned is that carbide inserts ain't cheap in many cases. One of the...

Sorry @hagrid , it's a "box and pan" brake, not a "Magic" brake.... ;) :love:

You just gotta retire "my brother from another mother!!!!" Best "job" I ever had:p:p:p

I'll add one......Sometimes you have to "curse things into place".;)........Trust me, it works:sneaky::giggle:
