    Pet safe invisible fence

    We have a houdini dog that doesn't know the meaning of a fence :rolleyes: Around four years ago, we put in one of those invisble fences to keep the dogs in the yard. Fence has worked really well except for one issue. The contoller for the fence seems to be pretty sensitive to lightning. Came...

    Happy Monday

    Nothing like having to go into work early for a delivery. Driving down the road, stuck in traffic and having a message pop up on the dash that says "pull over now!!" :confused: Then having the truck quit :mad: and having to push 14,000lbs worth of truck and load out of the interstate :rolleyes...

    Turf tires for an l1501/ l185

    I did a search but didn't find what size turf tire I need for the front and rears on my l1501. Which is the equivalent to the l185. Checked the site and tractor data with no luck. In this case I'm looking for rim and tire size. Doesn't have to be an exact match since it's two wheel drive. Just...

    What do you use for a welder?

    I started out with a Chicago electric 110 mig for the house. Not real happy with how it works. Fairly decent for thin metals. Got back into stick welding and realized I'm better with stick welding. So I picked up this beauty today. 1975 Montgomery Ward. Got it for free to a good home :D guy...

    Homemade box blade

    Started building a box blade to fit my l1501. Needed one that was 54" and didn't like the prices. Started scrounging around and managed to find most of a sheet of 1/4 plate steel that someone was getting rid of. Was able to pick it up for $50. Then it cost a case of beer to get it run through a...

    Fixing back blade

    Some people were wondering about fixing wallowed out holes on a back blade. Here's a perfect example. The holes were wallowed out so bad, that when it was in the straight position, it would rotate side to side around 30 to 35 degrees. Put it in the 22 degree slot and it would rotate almost 60...

    Math Question?

    So, we were discussing torque specs on a bolt today. This bolt needs to be torqued to 335 ft/lbs. We have to use an impact gun to install due to a couple different factors. The main being that there isn't a way to efficiently lock the motor to tighten by hand with out a bunch of labor. Talked to...

    Box blade questions

    Cleaned out the garage and posted a bunch of stuff on Craig's list. Had two offers for my lawn mower and attachments. Ended up selling the mower separately and trading a cheap dump cart and aerator for a one bottom plow and a box blade. Box blade was off a scut and wasn't set up for rippers...
