    Ford 841 Diesel Project

    Machine shop called Wednesday with no good news. Block has badly fitted sleeves over sized and I'm told he would have to have custom sleeves made. The crank is OK. I'll get all the measurements when I go over there. So, $1K for 4 sleeves if I go that route or look for a better block? Tractor has...

    Anyone re-skin a 1950's shop?

    We get blizzards in this part of Texas, 70 mph winds etc. So, really I need to look at some framing upgrades and whether this building is conducive to all this.

    This happened in my resent thread, post #15 about re-skining (metal) a shop.

    Anyone re-skin a 1950's shop?

    I'm toying with the idea of renting an excavator for a week. One hydrant needs to be dug up as it leaks bad. I also have a leak north of a shut-off valve that goes to another hydrant. No issue finding other things to move, stack etc. I could relocated a septic tank cover I buried also. This is...

    Anyone re-skin a 1950's shop?

    Shop is full of vintage tools, three phase equipment, restored 1954 travel trailer, my Ford tractor etc. If I can't control the building heat issue it's just uncomfortable storage.

    Anyone re-skin a 1950's shop?

    I looked at one of the 2x6's roof purlins, it has 22 nails in one board. I'd have Popeyes arms removing all those nails. No free lunch on this project. I have the money but not the time, one quote was $60K. I'd try to re- sell to old tin, some roof panels are damaged and don't over hang past the...

    Anyone re-skin a 1950's shop?

    Yes, it leaks from the roof. I want it insulated so new metal is a must. Both top rail 16'x16' sliding doors need to be replaced. It would probably be cheaper to start all over but only if I could do all the work. It's an hour from my home so no popping in for an hours work etc.

    Anyone re-skin a 1950's shop?

    I can't decide what to do with my 40'x80' old timey shop. I've owned it less than 10 years, came with 4 acres and an old farmhouse. The Texas wildfire in 2023 blazed through all the land and spared the shop and house. The lawsuit paid me what I paid for the place. So, it's built from oilfield...

    Grandson and I cleaned out the solvent tank in preparation to clean some tractor parts. He pressure washed a quarter of the shop floor too. Not sure why the pics are rotated.
