Dougster, Dont jump to conclusions, IF the Chinese are held accountable the CAN build decent stuff. They have shown that in the past decade. That said, What needs to change is the corporate decisions (USA and elsewhere) to maximize short turn profitability to make their stockholders happy...

I like the Yannies, but Ductape, for the dial up community you need to shrink yout photos before posting....

A coat of paint can do wonders...that is a sweet ol Jimmy! And house...good job!

Now Now Dougie settle down, Alot of supposedly AMerican tools(and other things) have been made in china for some time now. DeWalt, Delta, Porter Cable, etc with minumal ill effects due to the fact that those companies CHOOSE to maintian decent quality control. Now this is a decision Mahindra...

MObius, What are you raising down there? I assume with all the fences you are trying to keep something in.

California, eat your heart out!

I think a school bus on the roof of the house would really set the place off

PB, I dont have a picture, but it was a basically the front half of the clark you showed with a decent lenght tounge (THink boat trailer) to maximize the tractor weight and the PTO driving a pump at the mast iteslf. I suppose a lift with a bad motor would give you just about everything you...

Dougster, One thing neat about it, Like Hilti, it is the prodct of LIchtenstein, once hat novelty wears off though I was unimpressed. Feathers and wedges for me next time. I dont beleive I have hydraulic rock guys around. In my case I just built the ledge into my basement...my own (not so...

DOugster, I got next to nowhere with my experiment also, but alot of dirt guys up here swear by it. I think there are a few steps that help to make it work 1) Have someone else buy it, it is expensive and you need ALOT, but just tell them it is cheaper than blasting. 2) Rent a ROCK drill...

Mark, Wheres the goop?

Today I braved single digits to dig some logs out of the snow so I can mill some more purlins, but the oddest use I can think of at the moment was bracing a hammer drill against the bucket to drill into ledge to make holes for betonimite. Dougster was asking about NH granite just the other day...

Tree farmer, The sprocket thing and buying a reverser will work, but here are two other options, If your tractor has enough internal hydro pump, you could attach a orbit hydro motor to your blower and run it that way. If your tractor does not have enough pump, you can feed one off your pto...

Mark, Thanks for the first hand account! Cali, I dont need one that is for sure, but my mother lives "over the river and through the woods' and was thinking of getting a golf cart, but it is a little rough for one of those I think, and for a little more you can get a "Kei" and the cab...

PB, THe homemade drag around truck axle units can work with little tractors, it is the axle that takes the weight, the tractor is just ballast, and the tounge gives you alot of leverage. What are you lifting again? Even if the lift is free, if you dont need it for a year and then go to use...

Here is some examples http://www.atvtruck.com/Cont%20001A.htm Why would I spend over 10 large on a utilty vehicle when I can have one of these, or a late model mini truck for far less?

I have bought a few things over the years from Sears with warranties, and they have always honored theri repairs on things with me from vacumes to saws to pressure washers, but I was dissapointed when I bought a spiffy new fridge (kind of a wedding present) that had a water dispenser/ice maker...

Dougster, There are only 16 people in my town(and they all seem to know who I am ), but the welding shop is in Lebanon, a veritable metroplis of at least 8,000 souls. Mark, I would be very intersted in your goop. I did get a felt wiper treated with somthing but it didn't do much. Is you...

Dougster, I have been impressed with the shops both in Oregon and especially here, even if I walk i there once every 6 months they know my name and are willing to help and they really dont push sales on me. I like to suppport the local guys, and I dont think I paid to much more to do it...
