    Looking for a Low to Medium Speed Angle Grinder

    Thanks everyone. I should have been more specific. I am looking for a 4.5 to 5" grinder. I have a couple of 7" grinders and they are beasts. I was hoping to find a single speed that was a little slower than the race grinders. Add to that, I'm cheap and don't really want to spend a ton of...

    Looking for a Low to Medium Speed Angle Grinder

    I had a Rigid/Home Depot angle grinder that I used for wire brushing. It was not as fast as my Metabo cut off grinder so it was perfect for wire wheeling. I have been looking around for a replacement and all I seem to see is high speed grinders. It seems there has been a "speed war" going on...

    Reshaping a hood

    What I have done in the past is to get several poly feed bags double them up and partially fill with sand. Put the bag on a saw horse and then beat pm the hood with a mallet or a block of wood and a hammer using the sand to conform to the shape of the hood. I would make a wooden dolly out of...

    Color me impressed!

    Ditto on the Dewalt. The in-laws have a Stihl gasser that I borrow for the really high branches, but Dewalt works for most. OTJ

    Farmall B head

    It is always great fun to watch your progress on these hidden gems. You all do a great job. You have to wonder what was done to these old tractors in the past to keep them running. I have resurrected quite few my self. Some of the "farmer" repairs are interesting. What ever it took to get...

    Auction find

    Used to know. I did use them in high school in the 60's. A slide rule hanging from your belt in its pouch and pocket protector full of pens was the ultimate Nerd equipment. OTJ

    Finding under-ground utilities

    The logical engineering part of my brain says this should not work, but it does. I can take two thin welding rods bend them and walk across a field and they will move when I cross water lines. I haven't tried it on power lines yet. Color me convinced... OTJ

    Cub pistons choices

    I had a Cub engine rebuilt last year and the engine kit came with Fire Crater type Al pistons. I was a little surprised at that. OTJ

    About to use POR-15 Fuel Tank sealer in my 706

    I use POR15 on every tractor I restore, like seven and counting. The only thing I have to do is when I am finished and the POR15 has cured. You will have to carefully clean out the threads on the bung for the sediment bowel. I use a 3/8" pipe tap. Oh, and don't get the POR15 on any thing you...

    Timing of Farmall M

    As for your over heating problem, have you opened up the side plate and cleaned out the water jackets around the cylinders? This area gets plugged up and coolant will not circulate around the cylinders. There is also a sheet metal channel on the cover plate that helps distribute the coolant...

    Powered Post Drivers

    Thanks for the replies. I have a t-post pusher i made for my loader tractor and yes it works really well. The only problem is it takes two people. I tried it with SWMBO once and it didn't go well. Plus, we have pretty rocky soil and I bent a lot of posts using the loader. As far as the...

    Powered Post Drivers

    Since I have reached the age that lifting heavy things over my shoulders is hard and painful, I am looking at powered t-post drivers. I am leaning toward a Man Saver pneumatic post driver. They are lighter than gas powered ones and I already have a generator and compressor. I have been using...

    Best all-around Jack?

    I bought a bottle jack that was rated for my loaded trailer weight with a little extra capacity. I made sure it would fit under the frame and the axles correctly. In addition I fabricated some jacking pads out of wood for soft ground. Tried it all out before I went on my first trip. All...

    Power recliner

    Don't know, but I wish I did. Sitting in the old power recliner one night and the power went out for like two days. It was a real pain getting in and out of it till the power came back on. OTJ
