What make is your 2 x 72 belt grinder? I have a Bader III and a old Wilton square wheel both set up with variable speed controllers . I also have a home made 2 x 72 contraption that I have the belt running horizontal with a small diameter (5/8) contact wheel and Platen. No vari speed for this...

It might be a bit of "over kill" as my one friend said but there is a reason to my madness! Another dear friend had gifted me the rock solid shooting bench he had made many years ago. His club hosted and built up about 10 of these benches for 4H kids to use while learning gun safety etc. The...

Thanks for your input and weighing in! 😀

Interesting! Check out the genus Tolype Specifically Large Tolype. Tolype Velleda or Tolype Notialis, small Tolye

Thanks! And just a private message away! :)

Of course safety is a relative term. Certainly I do not dispute your numbers but I think perhaps they do not take in account my topography . The shooting bench sits high and both backstops are in a low bowl with rising terrain in all directions. A 20 ft plus or minus in all directions. In...

Over the last year and half I have been developing a safe shooting range.. Admittedly its been slow going , lots of other projects going on at the same time. Saturday with the help from a neighbor we "boxed" in my covered shooting bench. The white pine we used was cut and sawn by him. I will...

If things gel and you start offering kits will there be a different kit for those of us running a Land Pride installed third function?

Fully agree with UpNorthMI ! Looking forward to seeing how this progresses.

i agree , well filmed and explained. I learned a lot, thanks Lil Foot!

I was operating my L2501 with LA525 when the joystick started feeling not normal. As it happened it then became non-responsive up and down, and was stuck in float. Turned out the heim joint number 070 unscrewed itself from the joystick, part 110. Not sure if this relates to your problem but...

Thanks for all the kind replies and comments. Hopefully this might inspire others that there is almost always a work around if the desire is there. :)

You sir have a sharp eye! 😀👍That small hole in the square tubing was drilled on my drill press before I welded it to the c channel and served as a pilot hole . I then Drilled and installed a grade 8, 5/16 bolt with a nyloc nut to retain it. I wanted to make sure I was drilling thru , as close...

Thanks for the kind comments David! Appreciate you passing on the thoughts and info on removing the loader! While not having a need YET to remove my loader I did build the seat lift to work with or without the loader on. I have a middle column support that utilizes the main pin that keeps the...

Thanks! Yes, powered with a 12v winch. I had contemplated using a jack screw type setup but decided to keep things as simple as I could. The tricky part for me was working out the articulating seat arm that connects to the trolly that rides vertically in the C channel column . It had to "wrap"...

LOL, yep , implement changes are troublesome to say the least. I try and time my work and what implement change I need with the schedule of one of my boys free times. I figure it gives them a good reason to spend some time with this cranky old man! :) I have sketched up some rough plans to...

Good eye on the grapple stand! I lost the spring that keeps it latched and the new spring is sitting at my dealer with me needing to pick it up. I keep an eye on it as I am working but yes, I risk bending it. Thanks everyone for the kind comments thus far. I really hope that my post can inspire...

Thanks for the kind and thoughtful comments! I made the the extension levers for the hydro pedal and clutch pedal also. I did find it interesting just how tight things were as far as the operators station. I may still reconfigure my hydro pedal lever and give it some adjustability. I find I...

For starters I debated to even post this video of myself using my self-designed and built seat lift that allows me to get up on my taller L2501. I am able to pull myself up on my B7100. I use a wheelchair full time after suffering a spinal cord injury 40 plus years ago. One of the reasons I...

Spent a few hours pulling dead and dying Scot pines along with a few red pines around the backside of my covered shooting bench. In a few weeks I will be boxing it in with low side walls and a apron around the top.
