    garden hose reel (with wheels)

    Be sure to install a gearbox on it so it only reels at 15 rpm. The added torque will make sure the hose doesn't get hung up on anything on the way back too. :)

    What uses do you have for old rubber tracks?

    Can you post a picture of them? I'm thinking maybe you could make a storage pad for buckets or other implements? Knock out enough pins to separate them into quarter sections and them lay them side by side. Probably easier than trying to cut them apart.

    Minneapolis Moline Knoedler Seat Frame

    Looks great! I guess my recommendation was a little off. Also I just noticed where the PTO shaft is on that machine and good lord I cannot say that I am unhappy with being in a day and age where I don't have to worry about getting caught up in one while bouncing through a pasture. Imagine if a...

    Get ready for the Grease Shortage

    I apologize my mentioning of the dealer making the payments was an extreme suggestion that no dealership would ever take up on and probably came of a little aggressive. I also don't mean to suggest the dealer built it or broke it. However, they do sell the product and are basically the only go...

    Get ready for the Grease Shortage

    You might want to call the guy who sold you the vehicle and push for them to provide you with a loaner. Heck if it was more than a week on a vehicle under warranty I would be pushing the dealer I bought it from for one. You shouldn't be put in a position to borrow a friend's vehicle when you...

    Minneapolis Moline Knoedler Seat Frame

    If you have one set a tube of sand on it. See if 70lbs compresses it at all (thinking like an 1/8"-1/4"). if not you might want to pull it and get a slightly lighter spring before you paint it and make it unreturnable. This would be more of a sanity check than anything and just a suggestion.

    Minneapolis Moline Knoedler Seat Frame

    Why wouldn't you have clearance to the bottom of the seat pan? It looks like you have like 2 inches of clearance with the whole thing put together. The whole shock and spring assembly should collapse... Nothing should stick out. Unless there is something I cannot see.

    Nice. It'll be a long time before I can build myself something like that. I think I can squeeze 2 more years out of my current computer but even after that I think I'll have a hard time convincing my wife (and myself honestly) to go much above a Ryzen 5.

    I mean I don't know what sort of performance you are expecting but I (personally) would not call any Threadripper machine old by any means. Unless you are encoding 30 minute videos daily that thing should rip (pun intended) anything you want to do to shreds. I'm running a 5 or 6 year old i5 6500...

    How much time do you spend?

    We separate recycling because it takes longer to fill up a burn barrel if the recycling is pulled out. Then we just drop our recyclables off at the recycling dumpsters on our way into town. We also seperate aluminum cans and plastic soda bottles because that's 5 cents each when we turn them in...

    I completely understand where you come from on the work side. If I am on the verge of typing a nastygram I type the email out in Word first so I don't click the wrong button and send something that will bite me later.

    Hydraulic Fitting Assistance

    Thanks for the link I'll check it out. Unfortunately no. There isn't enough hose length if I cut it.

    Does anyone have a good way to take a male 3/16 inverted flare fitting and size it up to a 1/4" JIC? I cannot seem to find any adapters that are Female inverted flare to male JIC.

    Minneapolis Moline Knoedler Seat Frame

    Happy to help. I could be wrong here but I'll mention it and one of the car mechanics on here will definitely chime in if I am way off base. If you combine a shock with your spring it will effectively increase your spring tension (K value in the equation I gave) to an extent (I think). Here is...

    Minneapolis Moline Knoedler Seat Frame

    The question I have is, how confident of a fabricator are you? If you got a spring and the cups are you able to weld on the round bar stock to the bottom yourself and can you make that little saddle with the bar stock ears and weld it to the top cup? If so then finding some rear coil spring...

    Kubota insurance question

    If it happened on your property the camper might be covered under homeowners insurance. However, I do not think KTAC covers what is hit with your tractor.

    Minneapolis Moline Knoedler Seat Frame

    I know for checking the ride height they want on cars they'll take a piece of tubing and cut it to length and "install" it where the shocks would go for checking wheel clearances and stuff like that. You could probably do the same thing with the seat and set what you want the top of travel to be...

    Warranty Service.. Not Happy..

    What did you take the pictures with? If you took them with your phone then it will have a timestamp in the picture data which should satisfy most anyone with the condition that the tractor left in. Since you already spoke to the owner of the place and they told you to pound sand, it is time to...
