    Hand warmer

    The crew working on my new tractor barn/garage addition were using this at lunch time today for a little warmth. <a href="http://s614.photobucket.com/user/DaninOhio/media/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_1428.jpg.html" target="_blank"></a> <a...

    Front Tires 641

    I put ribbed implement tires on the front of my 641. Miller tire has them. I called and the guy knew exactly what I was looking for. On snow and loose dirt they don"t steer as well. Otherwise, no problem. I"m not sure if they are rated for the weight of a loader, but I"m guessing it wouldn"t be...

    Ford 600 transmission swap

    I don't remember the details. I do remember that if you are using the 600 rear axle with an 800 trans there are a few parts that need to be swapped from the 600 trans to the 800 trans.

    Spray Paint in can

    A good spray can paint will last two or three years of regular outside exposure before deterioration becomes noticeable. You can have any color of automotive paint put into spray cans. Although it is more expensive, that paint is much better than any standard off the shelf spray paint. There...

    All things being equal, fine thread fasteners are more vibration resistant then coarse thread ones.

    Primer paint

    Rust conversion coatings and etching primers can help, but they are not equivalent to traditional proper preparation.

    epoxy primer wait time

    It requires extra care to sand PPG epoxy primer, but it IS sandable. If you wait past the recoat window it MUST be sanded. The heavier it is applied(yes, it can be used for high build), the longer you need to wait before sanding. And, the longer you wait, the easier it is to sand.

    Various possible causes, but the reason the motor failed was due to either overheating, or a defect.

    paint removal

    You admit you have no experience with powder coating yet advise blasting to remove it. The reason powder coating is hard to remove by blasting is due to thickness and resiliency. It"s the same principal(only worse) that lets a thin layer or two of electrical protect a portion of a part being...

    paint removal

    High heat is normally used to remove powder coating. Some parts are not good candidates for that process. Media blasting works, but not very well. That is especially so if the part can't tolerate aggressive media. "Aircraft" paint stripper intended for catalyzed paints will soften powder coating...

    Sandblasting safty

    Black beauty(slag) is not as much safer than sand as some think. The dust isn't good to breath, and it may can contain metals or other things bad for you.

    Sandblasting safty

    No matter what media is used, silica or otherwise, breathing it is bad for you. Blasting should be done with a supplied air respirator.

    clearcoat ??

    Clear alkyd is available. I have no experience with it so can offer no suggestions about using it.

    Clear paint vs. lacquer??

    Most paint/lacquer needs to be applied to primer. Adhesion is poor when applied to bare metal. So, no ordinary paint is going to last well as you are using it. There are all sorts of coatings that are good for fasteners, some of those are: - E-coat - Plating with cad, nickel, zinc, chrome, etc -...
