Those type’s don’t block your lights when they’re up. I have been building shops, treehouses, forts, clubhouses, tractor storage buildings, she sheds, chicken coops, doghouses, birdhouses, etc., since I was about 8-10 years old. I love being able to look back and see what I created with mine own two hands. Thanks! This is my first venture into building a building. It’s not perfect by no means but when done, should last me till my time expires. My oldest owns his own garage door business. This door was a takedown but fits my needs perfectly. I have another one a little larger that may end up in the side of a container. I have more concrete to pour and another building just like this one to build later. This one has to be completed first 😁 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it sounds great, until the torque converter locks up in overdrive, then there’s a funky resonance. She likes it and now it’s solid. It’s one of those “fast, cheap and reliable… you pick two” situations I think… the last guy to work on it did a terrible job. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How's that un-muffled exhaust work when it's inspected? Or do you not have State inspection? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Newbie 7,069 #5609 Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) Last night I applied some Chelsea Leather Food I have imported from Kettering, England to my Harley Davidson riding boots. ( Instructions say apply and let sit overnight ) Today after work I polished them. Then I figured my Harley Davidson Engineer’s riding boots ( @Pullstart ) and the Florsheim Wing Tips could use a little elbow grease too… So I put some Chelsea Leather Food, imported from Kettering, England on them as well. Tomorrow after work I will buff them. Which got me to thinking… “Seriously, how often do you really look at a man’s shoes?” Who knows what movie the above quote is from, and what character said it ? No cheating… Edited May 1, 2023 by Horse Newbie 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OldWorkHorse 3,045 #5615 Posted May 1, 2023 (edited) Had a break in the crazy rain and wind having around here so went out and grabbed some sheet steel and cut a piece out and covered up the dump cart tailgate. Next chance I'll get going to mount the hardware and make it operational. Also I have learned when you don't have a tailgate you don't notice things out of square, looks like the PO hauled a ton of rocks or somthing cuz 1 side will need some adjusting and persuading. @ebinmaine Edited May 1, 2023 by OldWorkHorse 3 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,838 #5618 Posted May 2, 2023 I learned something today. Jada taught me that my pants don’t actually need to be under my butt to get my plumber’s crack on! Good news #2! We have water pressure again! Notice the melted contactor on the left side of the old switch. Luckily, it failed open instead of closed. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In one of those moments of laziness coupled with mindless can-do optimism, I thought I’d adjust the limits on one I was replacing “dynamically” - while it was energized. It might have worked if I’d used a plastic screwdriver! Instead it was a flash of failure. I still have the fried unit, which reminds me I intended to replace that contactor and have a mostly new working spare. That’s one dumb shortcut I won’t be attempting again. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achto 27,565 #5625 Posted May 4, 2023 (edited) Got this Ford off my plate. I sprayed Ford red on the remaining sheet metal. This concludes my obligation towards this tractor. On to the next job. Edited May 4, 2023 by Achto 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
