Thanks for the info. I'm still not sure what method I'll be using. I will have to put in about 100 piles. My son has done some small jetting projects but I haven't. Basically, it is pumping water through a 3/4" pipe to the base of the pile and the water jet displaces the sand/mud and the pile...

I just noticed that "ilings" should have been "pilings". Ooops. I wasn't able to edit that. Hey guys. My son and I need to set pilings in my canal out to the river for a boardwalk and boat slip at the river. I think the most efficient method for a DYI project is to jet wash the pilings. I think...

Greetings. I'm new here. I have a 1967 Ford 3000, 42 HP Diesel. Yesterday I noticed that my box blade was low on the left side. I checked my owner's manual and it indicated that I could adjust the level using the leveling crank. In 5 years I have never used the crank although I have greased the...
