Couple More

[Fawteen]

Built my own dump trailer out of the power pack from a 1 ton dump. Replaced the PTO drive with a geared down Honda and a chain drive, built a scissors lift from plans I bought on the internet, and a TSC cylinder. That's the current configuration after a couple of less-than-satisfactory attempts to use a straight cylinder lift. Only drawback now is that I should've located the lift points further aft as it doesn't lift quite high enough, especially with sticky loads.

I inherited yet another blown up snowblower, this one a 28" with a(nother...) blown up Briggs and Scrapiron (can you guess my opinion of B&S engines yet?) I'd also grown weary of underpowered blowers that gag on anything over a couple of inches of powder. So I got out the welder and chop saw, raided the scrap pile and crammed a Harbor Freight 13 horse electric start Predator on the 28" blower chassis. I haven't been able to stop this one!

Does the wife ever ask what you are thinking?

Does the wife ever ask what you are thinking?

Nope. She hates the smell of grinding and welding so when I disappear into the shop she won't come near it. Not that I take advantage of that or anything...

Somewhat more seriously, she's happy that I'm pretty much always around and she knows where to find me if need be. If I'm busy and happy, she's happy.

What does that snowblower run in the 1/4 mile?

Let's just say I've never gotten it out of 2nd gear. Out of 6...
