I bought it for the 5th wheel, so weight & bulk were a major factor in sizing. It is a little light compared to a full size axe, and the edge seems to be decent. Not as good as a competition axe by any means, but probably better than a True Temper or like axes. For chopping around the 5th wheel...

Always amazing how well electrolysis works. Today's results:

I've heard from some pro framers that they don't like them because the handle transmits too much shock/vibration to the user- I've never found that to be the case, but I'm no pro, either.

CaveCreekRay & RCW mentioned Estwing hammers in the Cast Iron Thread. I am a big fan of these tools. I had an uncle who was "Handyman to the Stars" and when I was about five, I was "helping" him pound nails in scrap lumber. I missed, and damaged his wood handle hammer. He was very understanding...

The pivot pin is splash lubricated by the front differential oil.

I will be visiting NIW soon (July 10,11,12?, not sure yet) so maybe we could coordinate something as a date firms up.

Glad it went no further than a case of pucker. I'm always amazed how pics never do the slope justice.

26?!?! My tractor is 13yrs older than you!

When I was a wee one, my Dad had one of those retractable extension cords that self winds back onto a spool, mounted in the middle of the 2+ car garage. I was always impressed by that handy item, and swore I would have one some day. Well, I now have one for my garage up in the woods, just...

I have to agree.

When I rebuilt my front axle, I ran into the same thing. The shaft/differential setup is a little different, as seen in the pics in post #9: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=21369&highlight=front+axle I disassembled the entire axle, so your results may vary. I used a...

That is a clean installation! I like it!

That would be an incorrect assumption- used implements out here are rarer than 500 carat blue diamonds and just about the same price range.:D

D2Cat- Len- check your PM box. Bill

Don't have any pics of it, but I helped the neighbor build a dolly for his box blade. We utilized several ideas as stated above. He had HF dollies and we connected them with angle iron from an old bedframe. Kind of a cross between Repair's, Lencho's, & bearskinner's.

All threads, or just some? Sometimes folks post really huge pictures, and that requires scrolling back & forth. Only fix for that is for the poster to resize their pics.

Glad to hear it, it was beginning to sound like it could have been a very ugly can of worms.

Nice use of what's on hand. I really like the "Ranger Rake"!

I couldn't agree more, I'd be lost without mine.
