    Arctic Cat...RIP

    They're only an hour's drive from my place. Very sad for the twon and all of northwestern Mn that they drew workers from. It sounds like they will fulfill their current contract orders and try support the existing sleds with parts for as long as possible. Arctice Cat was a big economic...

    Last summer I received a call from a neighbor who asked if I wanted him to deliver a new non-working 5000 lb capacity scissor lift table free of charge. If I could fix it, it would stay. Its back story: The neighbor had ordered it to use as a garage entry step with a possible future use as a...

    1st Tractor, New Owner Help!

    That's a beautiful spot you have there!! We used to vacation just outside of Hayward, Wi. Since your tractor is fairly new still and no one else has mentioned....Bring a new thumb drive/zip drive to your dealer that you bought the tractor from and ask if they'll load the WSMs (Woprkshop...

    The Kubota L2550 that slipped through my fingers!!

    Wow!! 12000 hours!! That Kubota has done its owners proud!! Now I'm really second guessing my decision to let my former co-worker's L2550 pass through my fingers to one of his other friends. I'm hoping the new owner will follow through with putting an SSQA adapter on the loader along with...

    New to me Atlas Lathe

    Is that a Precision Matthews mill in the background? I'm running out of room in my shop and am seriously considering a good benchtop mill or similar in size as yours for all the small projects that come along.

    Machine Shop Safety Reminder

    Wedding rings and electrical technicians just isn't a good combination! My wedding band has been in the top drawer in it's little box since day one. I know a guy who found out how well gold conducts electricity and has a permanent burn scar in the shape of his ring on his ring finger. And...

    Not Sure What To Say !!

    Crazy things do happen: A former co-worker's son (early 20 yrs old at the time) went bear hunting alone in the woods of northern Minnesota. He had his spot picked out and stand built prior to the hunt. At the start of the hunt, he had very quietly hiked out to his stand in the pitch black...

    Kubota L3560 and Grand L 60 Series Winter Front Covers Now Available

    @Old School2 Your covers look just fine and will certainly function just as well. It's surprising isn't it, finding out just how much time goes into making what seems like such a simple set of covers! There's not only the ever increasing cost of the materials, but the amount of wasted...

    The Kubota L2550 that slipped through my fingers!!

    Thanks, and yes it is very nice older machine. I think original owner actually purchased it right around 1990. So, 30 plus years ago. It was really tempting not to pass it up! But the new owner has a nice lakeside cabin on a prime walleye lake. I forsee a great fishing weekend in the near...

    The Kubota L2550 that slipped through my fingers!!

    Another option was to bend the tab on the voltage regulator coil to increase spring tension on the coil’s clapper arm. Bright and early the next morning: I found the regulator had no adjusting screw for setting the voltage level. And the tab to be bent for more spring pressure looked too stout...

    The Kubota L2550 that slipped through my fingers!!

    But not before we fixed a couple of small issues. Last spring, a close friend and former co-worker suffered a serious stroke on his rural 28 acre homesite. It became evident he and his wife wouldn’t be able to continue living there. With their two children living out of state, we’ve helped out...
