Don't sweat that. It'll change and morph as needed.

Burned out my last electrode for my plasma cutter last week. Place I bought it from said they'd discontinued the unit, and it's consumables. I use it enough that I ordered a new one, higher output, and then the next day they found me a link to the Amaze-On store for the company that made it for them where I could still get the consumables. New one arrived today, so I had to set it up and test it out. I think it works pretty well. Burned this out for the wife. It isn't perfect, but we both have some rough edges... Our first initials on the top, last in the middle, then the kids at the bottom.

Most excellent work !!!

It is slowly becoming disorganized. I have my big AC machine in between the tire mounter and the battery charger, and I need to ditch my tool cart and get a proper welding cart so I can get my welding stuff off the work bench.

If you fertilize it, it grows faster...I do not seed the snow clouds why would I want to make the grass grow faster... ??? -
I moved the tractor out of the neighbor's driveway this afternoon. I worked on a rather compacted spoils pile that has collected next to the front walk from the front porch cconstruction to make friends with the FEL and build some muscle memory with the directional pedals and brake pedal. The bucket didn't break into the pile very well. Next session, I'll loosen things up with the back hoe before doing more bucket work. I'll also move the mini van out of the driveway to make more room to spread what I am removing out front in the alley behind the garage - did good today, didn't hit my 72 Chevy pickup or the neighbor's fence with the back hoe or snag the mini van with the bucket when turning into and out of the alley. Got to talk with the previous owner as well - the temp gage said it was running hot, but it didn't act like it was hot. Didn't feel overheated when I opened the hood when I parked it, either.

Your 5053 transaxle will be very similar to the one in this thread. Before you dive into it I would suggest you drain whatever is in it now and add a couple quarts of diesel to clean up the gunk. -

Treated the lawn today with Scott’s Max Weed and Feed. Never used Max before but Weed and Weed in the past did pretty well! Used my 1962 Wheel Horse 702 and my Stryker spreader! Took about one hour. 51% chance of rain this evening and 100% in Wednesday! So i took a chsnce by spreading today! -

The pressed steel bearings are not as durable- 1 reply

Hi, I’m just starting to restore a black hood and thought if I fix one of the front wheel bearings it will be easier to push around whilst I do other things. I’ve bought some new bearings but they’re not a patch on the original. Seem to be made from pressed steel rather than solid turned metal and also the bearings appear much smaller. Can’t see them lasting 40 plus years like the originals.

After looking at all of the Tin Man photos from the movie, I am convinced that my oiler is identical to the one in the picture.
-
There are plenty of YT videos out there about doing this. My favorites are from the custom car fabricators that take longbed Chevy C10 pickups and shorten both the frame & bed to OE shortbed dimensions, without ruining the time weathered patina where the cuts & welds were done. That is some first class work...

Happy Birthday Blackhood Bill

Thank you all. Love being a part of this group and hopefully god willing many more years!!! -
Thinking bout trying to "patina" the engine to match. The custom decals are a good suggestion.
-
Some patina on the "Oil Burner" & a few custom Decals from Terry - you could pass it off as an early diesel prototype from WH.
-
Well Done...

After a bunch of hours learning to fly a sailplane, I realized the hobby was incompatible with my responsibilities and commitments. Still, treading a fine line between lift and gravity was exhilarating and made me pay close attention to what I was doing! -

STILL amazes me that Elmer Pond designed the Unidrive in a couple of months and that with only a few changes it was still being installed in new tractors for over 50 years. The depth of his understanding about machinery and manufacturing is hard to fathom, even today.
