I have a 6" PTO clutch that needs new facing on the disk. What available material might work, and how could I cement it on? It gets little use, but needs to connect well.

It's too much to type again, so I'm attaching an email I sent with all the info and pictures. Hi Arv (and Gene), It's 3am and I just got back from a long night at the casino playing nickle keno...so cut me some slack. Apparently the tire is repaired. I now realize that my first repair...

There seem to be an endless supply of free old drill-drivers because the batterys and chargers are expensive. I'm finding that the drill itself is always (so far) still good. I previously posted an 18V unit test powering a worm, or screw drive front tractor blade. I hope to test again today...

The contraption is covered in a shed, so no pictures right now. OK, I'm kidding, it's not jet powered BUT it is a new creature. I bought a used chipper/shredder at a Craig's List sale that had an 8hp B&S engine. That thing bogged down easily and the motor worked itself to pieces. I have lots...

There are tons of old riding mowers available for free to $25. I have a few myself, and this is one. I decided to see what it could do if I beefed it up a little. I made a front blade that adjusts every direction and a rear box scraper and tried it out. Then I returned it to the shop to...

This pump came to me as junk. It may have fallen off a truck...it was badly damaged. The engine now runs fine. Originally it appears this was a self-priming water pump, but all of the outer housing was missing. I welded up a rotor shell and sealed all the obvious holes. First test it leaked...

My Son needed a dump bed...but still needed his toolbox, full-length storage in the bed and a contractor's rack. I bought a motor coach leveling jack for $100 and made this 12V dump bed. We have dumped 2,000lbs net with ease and it is used daily. When I realized the power of a DC motor I...

My Son found this old Black & Decker 1/4" drill (used to sell for $8!!). It had been buried in dirt and was stuck solid. I futzed with it and got it working, but it didn't have a chuck (or the chuck was no good, don't remember). We had a Craftsman 18V drill driver that I fried the charger and...

The attachment is of my first all metal cylinder. Don't know if it's hydraulic, pneu or traumatic. It was a shock absorber style opener (or Keep It Opener) I suppose. Like the little units on a hatchback car rear door. One of them seemed to be spring loaded and somewhat functional. T'other...

2 pic's are of an original Perrin Garden Tractor, 1940's vintage. Other 3 pic's are of my modified Perrin. This time, I added cylinders and controls from an old Merc. 140 outboard 12V hydraulic system. Max 3,000PSI but does all work so far @ 1,000psi or less. Lifts over 300lbs of dirt/mud in...
