    New snow bucket with mods

    Been awhile since I've been on here. Shop has been busy plus we've had a lot of snow. Now that winter is over I figured I'd get ready for next winter. I ordered in a new light material/snow bucket for the tractor. I've had to move a lot of snow this past winter and with the smaller bucket that...

    Hey.What time is it?

    That's what I kept asking myself while in the tractor. Yes the new stereo has a clock but I have to go through a dozen menu's to find it so I found these great people on Ebay that sold motorcycle clocks and along with that they had thermometers as well so I went out to the tractor and measured...

    Another video!

    No snow today so to break up the bordom I did another video. You've seen the stuff I do on the tractor so I'll show you the other things I really like to do the most and when I get it done I throw it out in "Gasoline Alley". The only problem is I'm out of room :( I think the song "Heavy Fuel"...

    Hey don't laugh.It's Orange!

    I'll share this past project with you. This is a toy Minnitoys toy tanker I rebuilt for a friend of mine. I did it back in 2005 and only got the time to do a video of it. My buddy had the truck for some time and it was in rough shape. I told him to send it to me and I'll have a look. It was...

    Time to upgrade

    Well this week I've put over 20 hours on the tractor and we got another storm on the way for tomorrow. This week I noticed one of my factory speakers was starting to make some distorted noises so I knew it was time to get them out of there for an upgrade. Although the factory Kubota stereo is...

    Thinking outside the box.

    As some already know. I use my tractor strictly for snow clearing. That being said I've only been out once so far this winter plowing snow and there's no snow on the ground here now at all. Over the holidays I managed to get some time to myself in the shop so I fabricated a PTO guard for the...

    Fabricating a PTO guard

    Today I decided to fabricate a PTO guard for my tractor. It didn't come with a guard. We're shut down for the holidays and I've been off now for three days and getting a little stir crazy so I snuck out to the shop to do it. I used 1/8th plate for the most part but used 1/4 flat bar for the...

    Small job for the positioner

    Today I had the day off so I decided to make a support for my hand when I'm using the welding positioner. When using these things the more steady your hand is the better the welding job is so this outfit that I got made will make life a little easier. It's not ground breaking but I made it our...
