The pic posted by rbargeron looks almost exactly like mine, though mine has a bit of chamfer on the edges. I just reverse engineered mine from the input shaft(s). But as olthumpa says, the second clutch is gripped in the assembly setup, and should stay put. Still, having an alignment tool...

Small world. My first clutch/pressure-plate rebuild was on a Pinto, and I used a piece of a broom handle. And I've lined them up visually for concentricity if I could get my head in and a clear direct view, and even by using the transmission with plate snugged then pulling it back to finish...

When I did mine, I just made one from a scrap piece of sucker rod. But that's the joy of owning a lathe. No idea where someone would get a lineup tool for a dual stage clutch.

I've currently got a Gannon 4' tumbler. Not quite as big as I would like behind the B2150, but it's what I've got. It's a name brand Gannon, not a chinese sheet steel box, pretty heavily made for the size, so you (or at least I) would expect it to work pretty well as is. I've run rigid boxes...

First off, great looking restoration on all the stuff you've posted. But I'm posting here to recap a more detailed message sent by PM. I recently ran into what I'm afraid may be a problem shared by Buck. I bought a nice heavy Gannon box, though mine had no hydraulics. It was at that time I...

That's true of computers, but so far, it's not quite on the mark for smart phones. The browsers in smart phones are somewhat minimalist and don't have all the extension mechanisms and other toys that are exploited to infect a computer. By far the most common vector for compromising smart...

You have to give it some time. Mid day on Sat on a holiday weekend, most folks that actively help on this web site aren't sitting at their computers. I wouldn't be setting here now if it were not for having new knees (newest only 4 weeks old) that seriously needed a break. Anyway, depending...

I can't stress how much I agree with that statement. I own a B2150 with BH and subframe mount. You wouldn't believe how much damage I've repaired due to the BH on the subframe. And quite frankly the B2150 tail/axle casting aren't at all what I would call beefy to start with. Plus the 3 point...

Not really. Cat 1 means it will physically fit, but you still have to pay attention to weight and horsepower limits. For example a while back I bought a 1000 lb 66" Gannon (actual brand, very HD) that was Cat 1. My B7100 would not have even been able to move it, and I never tried. But I...

Regarding your comment on the 2150, for my part, be glad you moved up from there. I've been quite disappointed in the capabilities of the B2150. Like you, I didn't know enough to be sure what would work for me, but I eventually came to realize that I really should have been looking for an L...

You should be able to find a wider range of options at McMaster Carr for a LOT less. There are also small widget companies like "Essentra" that provide a lot of this type stuff that is very handy for home shop fab type work. Grainger is one of those stores that is the LAST place I'll look for...

It's all god, I hope. I have 2 knees completely shot, and they took this winter and fall when I needed to be most active during the better weather to go down hill very rapidly so that I can barely get anything done now. So I figured, if I'm going to be down for around 3 months recovery (both...

Care to share? 120 on the forecast here next week...

The adapters are sometimes made up of only a single link/ring between hooks. Commercial examples often have a ring with a selection of grab/slip/t-hooks on one heavy ring. Really nice for taking up long chains when you just hook a grab on the chain, pull it up, and hook the other back to the...

I'm a software developer and run virtual machines with a range of MS OS installs from XP to Win10, and I have no idea what that comment was about. I not only run a range of commercial and open source non-MS software, but also software that I've personally written. Open source, third party, it...

I've always heard the larger open hooks called "slip hooks" as opposed to "grab hooks". And the typical way to deal with that is with shortish adapter chains. I've got short chains with only about 5 or 6 links and a grab on one end, with a slip on the other (and a few other combos plus using...

Be careful with brass too. It work hardens fairly fast and becomes quite able to significantly mark steel. It can also easily be annealed, but if used for nothing but releaving pressure it may stay soft enough.? I haven't had mine off and on that much, but haven't had any problems so far...

You could make a 90* adapter, then tip over your bucket to get under lower tongues. But then I use receiver hitches as a quick multi-mount for all sorts of stuff, so having a 90* adapter is just part of the collection. The rear hitch will be handy for longer moves, but nothing maneuvers a...

I put Line-X on my '02 2500HD about 2 days after I bought it new. This is not a hard working truck but has never been a soccer mom grocery getter either. It's hauled 1000+ lb iron old school machine tools, AmSec safes weighing in at about 500 lbs and 900 lbs, engine long and short blocks, full...

I've owned some "real" tractors in the past, comparable in size to the midsize L series Kubota. But then I had real work to do with them, and never thought much about it. To me, that WAS a "small" tractor. But I don't have a big lot or fields to deal with now, only an 1.3 acre lot and...
