    Freekin ticks

    I had the same black widow problem in my shop. They were huge! A few foggers wipped out all of them. But last year we had unbelievable tick problems here in the Deer Valley area, with various theories regarding contributing factors. So far, no problem this year, but have you noticed any...

    Load bearing wall??

    I agree, doesn't look like load bearing. Looks like standard opening and corner studs/headers.

    Load bearing wall??

    That makes more sense to what I see in the pics. I saw the AC, but assumed it was run up between rafters. Out here most everything (that I've worked on) seems to be sheet rock on rafters for vaulted ceilings. So that's not a style of construction I am familiar with, so I'll butt out.

    Load bearing wall??

    You'll really need to get in that attic section to see. But with that vaulted sealing, I'm betting that ridge beam ends right at that horizontal wall and is supported through that corner wall section to the floor/slab/grade/basement/whatever. If the beam comes through on top of the truss...

    FEL supports

    They don't seem to hold much weight at all on my B2150. Mine were missing, so after asking about here and looking at pics on the web I made a set from common hot roll bar stock. Was just a bit too wide, so I cut a rabbit on one end for a good fit, and the shoulder prevents over insertion...

    B219 loader pump question

    Good deal, much better pics. The top plate and grime on mine makes it somewhat difficult to make out the mount.

    B219 loader pump question

    Sorry for delay, hectic day and worked till after 8 PM. Anyway, here is a pic of the pump on my sad AZ sun faded old girl.

    B219 loader pump question

    Headed to bed now and I've got my morning booked, but I'll try to get out there and take a look, maybe some pics, by lunch or so tomorrow.

    B219 loader pump question

    I'm headed out at the moment, but if you have specific questions, I can check my B7100/B219 when I get back.

    Gauge package, B7100

    Over all, VERY nice. And I've often thought the same of that hour meter "wasting" valuable space in my sight line. I guess the thought was "out of sight, out of mind", keep it where they can see it and maybe they will keep up with it? But stuff like that, something so rarely focused on, it...

    L2501 or B2650?

    Sorry, I was thinking of this thread when I responded to a new post in the "BX or B" thread (that I thought was on this one). I think my comments may have some relevance there too, so I left it, but I'm copying it here quoted below.

    Tractor choice?

    I'm not really qualified to offer any advice, but I will offer my current thinking regarding my own choices. Many years ago I had a couple of 20-40 acre properties in a local area with a variety of uses. I had several different tractors including Ford, Long, and a (trashed)Case over the years...

    Pallet-box for pickup bed?

    Funny. First "real money" I ever earned was "bailing hay" as a boy. Started too young to handle most of the bails, but he found ways to put me to use. Got older, and answered every time he called me to help. Eventually I got bigger and was a major contributor alongside the other big 'ol corn...

    hydraulic cylinders

    For the ignorant among us (certainly me), other than the kit, how best to go about getting what you need? Seems to me that there either must be a general parts reference somewhere to identify rings/seals by part number or dimension. Or you pull it down and take it to your local purveyor of...

    What do you use for a welder?

    Doesn't help now, but for reference, these are the bits I bought recently. 1/4" Bosch and 3/8" Bosch. I really like the HCFC bits that also cut through rebar, because apparently I have a real knack for hitting the only piece of 1/2" rebar in a 12" span. However, you can save about $3-4 per...

    Kubota b 3030 with woods backhoe and cab TOPHEAVY

    What I don't understand is why Rimguard is so darned expensive. I can't imagine it would be that expensive to make, and with that kind of retail price, there should be some competitive pressures. The only other viable option is CC, which isn't as expensive, but is hard on the rims. So water...

    What do you use for a welder?

    I just ran into a similar thing trying to run a smallish wire through slump block. Never realized till that moment that all my long bits were monstrously large for a little hole to feed a motion sensitive LED light. Generally the small bits have been just for anchors and such. But take a look...

    Auger Hitch/Boom

    I've got a Ford 905. In fact, that's my rebuild of the gear box near the top of the results. But more than a little large for the little B7100, it's a bit large on my B2150.

    Top link

    Mine appears to have a minimum length of just over 20". It's currently adjusted to around 21.5 or just under, and I rarely (pretty much never?) have to go very far from that, and don't recall ever bottoming it out. That's pin center-line to center-line.

    B2150 Ag.Tires

    Give it a bit for the old hands to drop by. We've got several here who know their way around the in's and out's of tractor tires. They helped me work out what would work, and also eventually make the connection that landed me the tires. They will know how to answer your original question...
