I wonder what the inside of your tank looks like? With the fuel sitting in there for so long I'd be concerned about algae and gunk. Shock it with something like biobor first and see how much black residue gets trapped in your filter housing. Maybe run the tank low, if you can or drain it and...

Here's a good explanation of bonding. There is typically a green fastener included with your panel that is for bonding. If you didn't have this fastener or didn't install the fastener, then you are ok (again, have an electrician and/or inspector look your install over to verify).

You did solicit feedback to make it better, I would follow the clamp advice as well as others to ensure a safe, problem-free install. As @Dieseldonato and others mentioned, it's important to stay code compliant and also have a clean install. You did re-do your roof trusses based on professional...

Thank you! I hope it all goes well. Plan is to set everything up 2/3 of the way and move sloooooooow, shouldn't take more than a half hour 😁 I'll start a porch rebuild thread soon to document all the progress.

With the "service" you were getting, I'd recommend reaching out to the manager or going somewhere that wants your business. Have you thought about two tractors? One for indoor work and in tight spaces and the other for the heavier chores?

+1 on the ground rod for our outbuilding subpanel. Here in the states it is required for a subpanel that is detached from the house. My attached garage subpanel does not have one but I plan on adding one just for the hell of it (it was recommended by the electrician that did my final hookup to...

Agreed although I doubt the galvanized allthread will break or strip threads... Even the weakest grade 2 1/2-13 allthread on McMaster Carr is rated to tensile strength of 50kpsi. Even @baronetm slabs that weigh 2-3x more than my piers were lifted using the same size fasteners (may have been...

Found some precast piers for my project for now so we are going to trench for them with a backhoe but I still have my eye on the SA20 for future projects.

Looks good, I've been looking for an idea to put the chains somewhere on the tractor for storage. The "toolbox" on my LX2610 is laughable.

Yes, this! It's not leading but it is a VERY close 2nd and regardless, that number should be close to zero. It's real fucked up that gun deaths among children are even remotely close to car deaths.

Impressive work! Looks pro. Looks like you used lat pulldown or other gym equipment weights as additional ballast. There are a ton of old machines out there that I can yank iron weights from. I wish I had my welder set up for use in our current house, I ran 100amp service to my 3 bay garage when...

Fair enough, I needed an excuse to buy a box blade or rear implement. Thank you for sharing, your tractor is a lot heavier than mine so I will definitely need counterweight. Is your ballast box custom? I haven't seen one that nice online 😭 Noted, I will need to grab a box blade or ballast box...

Did your friend throw some leftover poutine in the trash? 😁

That's a good point... I hadn't thought about that, I do have filled rear tires. Think it will get tippy with 500lbs lifted a few inches off the ground at near max height? I have lifted a bucket full of gravel to full height with no issue but I think this weighs more and will sway side to side...

Thank you for this advice - so you're saying to hook a 6ft or shorter chain through both bucket hooks at the top and use the slip hook to center the slack to one central point where I'd attach the clevis shackle to my eye nut on the pier? I will definitely grab a jam nut and another nut/fender...

I'm so glad I got rid of my F250 gasser 😂

4.99/gal in Michigan. Cost me $50+ to fill a compact car. Ridiculous.

Just looked these up, these are awesome. I will need to add a few to my collection. Sadly they will not work for hooking the 1/2-13 eye nuts I bought but I will find use for them. I should have taken your advice when I first read it! My eye nuts just showed up and I cannot fit two 5/16 slip...

Yeah they are about 4-500 lbs fully assembled. Shouldn't be anywhere near FEL or chain working load limits thankfully. That's good to know on side loading vs. vertical loading - I plan on assembling the pier with threaded rod in the vertical position and then hooking them up to move once the...
