Exactly! That was the first thing I did before I even used the can - changed the spout and added a vent . I went with the the ez-pour hi-flo kit as that was what TSC had in stock. Dan

For those of you like me who have a 5 gallon can with flame shield from midwest can and want to use some type of transfer pump, here's a good video on removing it. The flame shield prevents you from reaching the bottom of the can. I actually used the smallest screw driver I have and a set of...

Not sure I follow completely. Pictures 1 and 2 are both taken after I cut across the bead to take a look at the inside (penetration/fusion). I should have taken pictures of the beads before cutting, but didn't think about it until after the fact - so I laid the already cut pieces close together...

Good points about the groove and pre-heating (I like the bernzomatic TS800 over the TS4000 for flame control). When I built the tie down points for my tractor, I did bevel the edge on the vertical pieces and did multiple passes. I wasn't concerned with making this a solid/perfect weld, just...

I already ordered some 0.035. I thought i ordered that but clicked wrong and got 0.030. It'll come in handy for some smaller projects I want to do/try. I will get gas after I get the 240V installed. No immediate plans for that, but will come in time. For now, my work is outside so gas is a no...

Always fun to have a new toy to enjoy. Have fun and get it dirty! Dan

As requested - this is my initial review of the yeswelder mig-205ds (green) using 110v power using flux core wire (yeswelder E71TGS.030-inch flux core wire). Background - very new self teaching welder, the only other welder I've used is a harbor freight 90a flux core (probably dozen years old)...

if you're driving alot frequenetly, any reason not to go gas powered instead of tractor attachment? if infrequently, maybe rent one? something like this - https://kencove.com/fence/titan_detail_PGD2875HR.php Crew around me used one to drive in silt fence. And I've seen bigger ones on youtube...

Am I the only one who noticed the radio shack soldering station? Old school! Neat modification! Dan

Check out the used market. If you're able to do some work (welding, replacing axles, wood decking) you may be able to get a good deal. Also, don't forget about auction sites (rb, gov planet, iron planet, etc), I've been seeing trailers of all types and sizes some really cheap bids, but in need...

I was impressed that 99% of it split (tore) apart completely. The remaining 1% I used my axe to finish splitting it. I will say for the 1 tree, I did get a 7 cu ft dump cart full of chips and shreds which should be nice tinder when dried. It was wrapped up in poison oak when it fell., but...

Am I missing a log splitter or are you giving the ole axe more of a workout than your tractor? Outside of my tractor, a chainsaw and log splitter were some of the best purchases I've made. Had a sweetgum come down recently. I would not have bothered splitting it for firewood (fire pit) had I...

I have seen tandem axle equipment and car haulers for sale here in GA with brakes only on single axle. Yes, it does happen. Yes, use tow mode if you have one - this will usually disengage OD. Manually disengage OD if you don't have a tow mode as pointed out. Many of newer fords do have trailer...

My $0.02 As mentioned, for towing, many people look at towing incorrectly (not saying you do, but I've seen it many times and even with people I know). There are 4 main weights to keep in mind when towing/hauling. (1) GVWR for tow vehicle (weight of everything inside truck including...

Instead of using screwdrivers, I have been using these for a number of years. They cause less damage on plastic. Cheap to, especially if you get on sale. nylon pry bar set (7.49 msrp) https://www.harborfreight.com/nylon-pry-bar-installer-kit-4-pc-63594.html trim removal tool set (8.99 msrp)...

I set up the mig 205ds today on my cart. I can confirm it came with v-groove roller (installed) for solid wire as well as v-knurked for flux core. It also came with .030 contact tip installed and extra .030 and .035. All labeled in metric (.8 and .9). The nozzle installed appears to be a gas...

Mig 205ds was just delivered. I opened the box and looked at the roller, it's knurled so can be used with flux core. I actually didn't see any yeswelder website that were not knurled. After i get done burn time with it, I'll post an update - there's at lest one person who is looking for a...

vice grips worked really well for me, I was amazed how easily it bent. Dan

As stated, amazon is good - especially if you know the manufacturer of the oem parts. I ordered air filters from Amazon, not Kabota brand, but donaldson which is what came with my bx2380 (and is mentioned in a messick's video. My local dealer is amazing to work with, only half hour away but i...

but no pressure o_O Dan
