This is my unit...

NIca, I just thought it was the welding fumes that were effecting your spelling. Actually around here, Wench seems to be the spelling (or at least the pronuncation) of choice when to refering to winches AND significant others. Serously, at least every other 4x4 is advertised with a wench...

Cali, The chebby (1950) had a 235, but it was cracked. The GMC should have had the much coveted 302, but somebody put a 248 (same engine family ) in it at some point, but it runs ridicuolsy well. and does the job so I am not complaining. The oil in it was pretty scary also. I let it warm up...

Mark, You are right, it is rare I handle amything over 1/2, but I collect junk and there is some heavy crap in there, like rail road track and boiler plate, old furnaces, that kind of stuff. I am thinking of a slide on over the teeth / chain bind blade for my excavator so I can use it for...

MArk, How thick can you do in a pass? I use .035 almost exclusivly in mine (which is a size down), but I really can only do south of 1/2 inch, maybe 3/8's in one pass. Sure, I have been known to bevel and grind and build up my weld, but can you stick it to 3/4 stock and be done in one pass...

Cali, The hardest part was wrestling the old fuel tank with 10 gallons of "fuel" out. It was so plugged with shellac and crap that when I pulled the petcock off nothing drained out! As you can see it was a lost cause though and I have added an "aftermarket" feul cell to the fender. I...

Oh yeah, Junk yard Dump and garbage trucks have big pistons for little $$$ also.

Dougster, I will throw in one final plug for this. Rather than spend $1000 plus on that welder (and proably another couple hundred at least on a helmet, grinder, torch, metal saw etc) and then mess with figuring it out, Why not spend $275 and 10 mondays learning how to use the welder you...

PB, I am more in line w/the agcrane that Paul suggests. I have seen homemade ones for cheap that you can drag with your tractor when needed. One was a old forklift mast on a truck axle that got dragged around with a tractor and worked off the tractor remotes, but a Pto axilary pump could...

DOugster, You can spend $500 bucks on a spool gun if you want to, but for steel wire you dont need it. I would say start without it and upgrade later if you have to. The spool gun pulls the wire which is good for aluminum. The machine will push the steel wire to you just fine and the gun...

Dougster, Unless you see yourself welding alot of Aluminum, you do not need a spool gun. You can get a teflon liner for your tweeco if you need to do occasional Aluminium, but I would stick to steel for a while if I were you. That welder should do you well and $800 is a decent price. I think...

Dougster, What tis your love for NH again? We only have one tax, property, but it makes up for the rest. If you want cheap, I reccomend you buy a trailer on a hunk of land that is just big enough to perc out for a septic system (ussually about an acre) YOu then get to deal with a well, long...

oops, wrong pic lets try that again....

Knowing how doc feels about empty threads, I figured I would share a very usefull machine I found rusting away in a feild near me. After a few hours of tinkering and a good tuneup, This little beast hauls the goods....very handy

Mobilus, I have about 500 ft of drivway I need to finish someday and I am weighing recycled asphault vs hardpack(they called it 3/4 minus in Oregon, dont know what they call it by you, bluestone?) ANywhoo, I know a guy who had some recycled asphault thrown down and he loves it, but t is on...

What do you guys think about Kei trucks? It seems to me the $5000 for a heated cab 4x4 is good, but some of you have rtvs and mules and stuff. I will probaly modify an 82 toyota into gator like proportions, but thes Kei trucks have an appeal to me. Especially since I could ag plate them and...

Hawkman, Here is thread about the barn http://www.nettractortalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=390 and I will fish for the house timberframe project pics. MIth, The wife at one point entertained a treehouse B&B (we actully stayed in one in Milton Abbas..not the treehouse part but the B&B...

J, I got 3.5 in the back of my truck on Monday, but lots of folks say they got 5 so you were pretty much on the $$$. Now what is your prediction for Friday?

Well that was a nice find!... I love the crap you bring home when you have a PU , a welder and a place to store scrap. I have alot of crap laying around and the wifer gets poopy now and again about it but then I will make something out of it that she apprecaites like a hay feeder and drag...
