widen rear wheels
kpinnc replied to sqrlgtr's topic in Restorations, Modifications, & Customizations
I ran the wheel opposite of the direction of the grinder. With both wheels off the ground the differential makes it difficult. Again regardless of direction- don't bear down on the grinder just let it run. The cuts are far better if the grinder creates a straight groove to follow. -

Some people use railroad ties for a base when installing metal buildings. If you have a good source they should outlast the new generation of treated lumber. -

Eric, Who did you purchase your car/camper port from? Thanks. -
Such a short run on a momentous topic. Seven months and a lot of crass opinions later, she's back doing Celebrity Roasts along with Don Rickels and Phylis Diller...

Did you hear the rumor about butter? Well, I'm not going to go spreading it!

The word on the street is that Trex or any of the composites require you to seal any cut ends because they are basically plastic coated compressed glued sawdust on the inside... Why not move the offending structure over to be in front of the two garage windows instead? A screened in sun room is a nice feature during the summer... a comfortable living space on the inside, bugs on the outside... I did not see an outdoor gas grill in back - a word of caution if you have one on a Trex surface. Grease drippings from the grill that land on the decking will leave stubborn, almost non removable stains. Home stores sell a containment tray that the grill sits on - it looks like an oversized boot tray. 953 types faster than I do......

A lot of decisions to be made. If it is practical, the screen room could be moved behind the garage, it looks like a keeper to me. We had a small covered porch that will accommodate a couple of chairs before I built the deck and we kept that. Bering at floor level I can go to the porch with my walker and go down two steps to the patio.

Two tractors and lots of parts
davem1111 commented on davem1111's classified in Wheel Horse for Sale
Yeah, that is pretty far, unless one is not really that busy, and really likes driving. I do have another possible option - I have a neighbor about a mile away that I've only spoken with twice, who has a variety of tractors, cars and trucks that he tinkers with. I think he only has one Wheel Horse though, probably a B or C series. He has at least one puller of another brand I couldn't identify, probably a Cub. If I offer the lot to him cheap enough or just give it all to him, he might be interested (or he might just say "no thanks!"). -
Someone please call a doctor, @T-Mo has lost his mind.

widen rear wheels

I had it pictured in my head that I could cut em all good and square than just set them on top of each other and tack them a few places then go to welding but sum times them pics in my head don't pan out like I want um too . This was my plan also. @kpinnc which way did you find was the best way to run grind wheel and rear wheel? Opposite each other or same direction (both clockwise or one clockwise and other counter clockwise). -
I hear that Richard. I'm fortunate that I can still do some fairly heavy work but not a hard days heavy work. More like a hard half day. Concrete might be an option for us in the back. My wife like that idea but I'm on the fence. The nice thing about it is that I wouldn't do the concrete and could sit looking out the window like the dog at the workers. That still leaves the tear out. That house window directly behind the structure is the family room. It blocks the view.

Agree they are handier about access but do interfere with some types of wheel weights (i.e. Wheel Horse) . -

My 20x30 tent garage is sitting on two layers of pressure treated 2x6 with the upper layer notched for the tension straps. I did this to keep the steel frame off the ground and to gain the 3" of extra height I wanted for my tractor with cab to pass in easier. It has been 12 years now and the wood & metal are getting along just fine with no rot or corrosion. + -
Definitely needs a bushing there to allow the bolt to be snugged up and still pivot freely. Something I do if needed is to increase the diameter of the bushing (usually with stacked washers) on the next bolt back. It allows a bit more lift so the deck rides better in the transport position.

Don't have group photos but this one is a group upon itself.

The deck looks great Bob. I can't do heavy work like that any more so I got bids for replacing the old PT decking with Trex. An inspection of the framing reveled some serious degradation of the majority of the joists so we had the deck removed and a paver patio put in, love it. The deck dominated our small back yard and the patio allows us to enjoy the deer and other critters that come through.

That’s the best line I’ve heard in a loooong time!

Rumor has it the JD 60 popped out of gear, hopefully the driver with recover okay and shed some light.

Picked a set of these up at the show $75, but that was an insider price from Fast Eddie's. That valve stem on the outside is a luxury, but I have welded them shut and drilled new on the other side.
