Yes I frequent other sites and yes another tractor site but I...

    snowblower grease fitting

    That's very true Scott. I still only use a hand gun. I get more feel for what I'm putting into the fitting. We have a Hugh problem here with guys greasing the hub on boat trailers. I've taken drums off and it would be packed with grease inside all over the shoes and they wondered why the...

    Spider Tractor

    Thanks Eric. It's been crazy on this end with work. We do government inspections this time of the year from boats, truck to tri axel trailer plus we're revamping the tools in the shop. New tooling makes the job easier. Great to see your still around as well my friend. Here's an example of my work:

    snowblower grease fitting

    As others said. Use a socket to drive the new fitting on. Some nipples aren't threaded. There just press on. One of the problems with using those grease guns if the nipple of the gun has to good of a grip on the fitting and it pulls them out. What you should do is use a needle attachment to go...

    MIG welding question. (CO2 canister)

    Thanks guys again for your kind words on my work. Dad always said if it's worth doing it's worth doing well and if he's looking down on me I hope I'm not disappointing his. The fact is each and everyone of us is good at something. There's an enormous amount of talent just on this site. There's...

    Spider Tractor

    Eric that's what I would call the perfect transportation for my mother in law:D I bet it does the job on ones driveway though. It could use a little bling as Scott suggested and using diamond plate might do it. All I know is that it's a strange looking bug-er ;)

    My B8200 has new clothes!

    Scott this old lift had the propane brackets on it when I bought it but had been a gas running lift. It was used for almost twenty years on a waft moving boxes of fish around. These must be a tough because the guys told me they never repair the brakes on them. To stop they just ram it in reverse...

    MIG welding question. (CO2 canister)

    Thanks Handy. Like you I've been in some bad areas to have to weld in and some very hot areas as well. I've been up to my knees in chicken poop welding conveyors as well which is not pleasant. This time of the year it gets cold welding out in the field such as you see in the pic where I'm...

    My B8200 has new clothes!

    No need to thank me. You did a great job on that machine and you deserved the pat on the back. It's tough to get something to the condition you got that tractor back to and those of us that have done this sort of thing have a greater appreciation when we see this sort of thing. I'm sure you'll...

    MIG welding question. (CO2 canister)

    Joe I use a special fan that will draw the fumes away from me if I'm in an area where there is little to no air movement. I got it from Princess Auto. If I'm in a confined area I'll use a positive air mask by 3M that I hook up to my sand blasting air system. Works great and keeps me cool on...
