Cowboy, I read this thread when originally posted. I'm surprised you haven't sold the pipe. It is high as a cat's back in price in this neck of the woods. Sucker pipe? I spent most of my life as an oil field welder and never heard that. Sucker rod, yes. Tubing, yes. Guess it's an area thing...

Nice ideas on the pullers. After the wheel pulled off the hub I would have just sliced the hub off the axle with a cutting torch.

I finally bought an Echo early last summer after firing up my Ryobi once. The next time I tried to start the Ryobi I found the PLASTIC choke shaft had viberated out of the PLASTIC carburetor housing and disappeared in the weeds somewhere. Made a trip to the local small engine shop. Tom didn't...

In the ATV world you see a lot of cracked fenders repaired with zip ties. Drill a series of holes down each side of the crack and lace the ties across or in an X pattern. It works but I consider it really UGLY. It seems to be kind of an honor thing with the young guys. "Hey, I ride so hard I...

I never tried to find out the manufacturer. I have never seen anything made by Lincoln that resembled it but Wards and Sears had various things built back then that weren't simply rebadged products so I don't know. I do know that it has been a very good machine. I forget but I think it was...

California, that is the same machine I have. The finish on mine is in a little better shape. Mine has a 325 amp DC converter (rectifier) sitting on top of it which came from Wards. When I bought it the salesman told me it was made by Lincoln for Wards. I had to do one repair to mine years ago...

Slang for a 220volt AC welder in the old days. No one made a 110 volt welder then. What is now called a buzz box.

Take your torch, turn on only the oxygen, take your striker and try to get it to burn. Good luck.

I have been a member for quite a while but hardly ever post. I'll get in on the welder thing. I welded for a living for forty years but am retired now. I have a 230 amp crackerbox with a DC converter that I bought in the '60s. I also have a Lincoln Weldpak 100 that I use for really little...

I hardly ever post on this forum but I'm going to chime in on this. Acetylene becomes unstable above 15# when in a gaseous state. It is desolved in acetone when it is still in the bottle and is stable. Acetylene should never be used from a bottle laying on it's side as that draws acetone from...

This is definately an old thread but I'm always curious about oil questions. I dug out the manual on my little B7510 to see if I remembered right and I did. It states to change both the filter and fluid at 50 hours. Next change is at 300 hours and each change thereafter at 300 hours intervals...

I completely fill it. It's hard to see in the picture but there is half of a 1 1/4" pipe collar welded on top of the tank right behind where the top link attaches. The is half of a 1/2" pipe collar welded on each end to drain the tank in winter. I toyed with filling it 50-50 with anti-freeze...

Been awhile since I've been around the forum but I thought I would post a picture of a tank I built for additional weight for my little Kubota. The tank is made from a piece of 16" OD 3/8" wall pipe. Ends are 3/16" plate and the frame is 3" sch 40 pipe loaded with 3/4" sucker rod before the 1/4"...

Hello, everyone. I'm a retired welder and need something to occupy the cold days. I grew up driving tractors and still enjoy using them. I recently bought a small Kubota to help me keep up with chores around the place.
