WHX?? 48,815 #1 Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) This was a long over due project I got started on last Sunday. I built this 12'x8' shed back in '96 or so with materials from a POS addition on the house that got torn off when I built a proper addition. Very little $$ into it and it has served me well over the years but since I no longer have or run bear dogs no need for the three holer dog huts so out they came. Ever since the affliction come upon me this shed was the just shove it in parts shed. Got to be so bad you couldn't even open the door and made @Achto 's garage look like a picnic area! What's worse is I had no idea what was in there. Guy was asking me if I had a S/G belt guard for a K241...yah somewhere in there... I think! Only course of action was to pull everything out and build some shelves. Took two hours to clean it out and two more hours to rip out the dog huts and clean up after the mice. It was infested with mice and they made a wreck of the insulation in the huts. No tractor storage in here but left it open for the barn cats to get in awhile back and strangely the mice disappeared! Should have enough room to winter two tractors in it now plus three more parts tractor to mafia and store. Found parts I never knew I had and a bunch of who knows what this is for! More on that later. Milk crates and buckets helped all the sorting and cataloging. I got the market cornered on pullies and belt guards. Tom @Shynon calls with the Sunday morning check in so we were discussing about guys stopping in off the street and seeing if we ran a lawn mower repair shop and wanting their mowers fixed! No wait @stevasaurus I ain't close to being done! Tom's right much as I hate to say it some of it just has to go to scrap! Just how many belt guards does a guy need!?!?

stevasaurus 22,725 #8 Posted August 14, 2020 I had a feeling, when I saw that picture of belt guards, they were going to be in demand. Take measurements and have Dan start turning them out. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 41,081 #13 Posted August 14, 2020 I had the same issue with my shed without the stink bugs and mice. Piles of parts with no idea of what I had. I filled 7 of those large plastic Wally World tables and took pics so I would know what I had. Then sold enough of what I didn't need to pay for gas,food and lodging for the show we didn't have. Got all of my tires in 1 loft and all the parts organized on the other loft and shelves. Room for 2 tractors to snuggle up in the winter. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,815 #14 Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Interestingly enough Kev is I found the rest of the tractor the goes with your favorite hood. The one on the corner that's painted multi color. The rest of the tractor and even the transmission is patinaed like that and most of it is there. Fender pan is at the bottom of the pile in loft pic. Thoughts are to clean it up as best possible without taking the paint off, clearcoat everything find a motor for it and assemble. wouldn't that make a interesting conversation tractor! The tractor and most of the parts came free at an auction where parts were stacked on pallets and the whole pallet went for twenty bucks. A guy would bid on the pallet for one part and give the rest away or just leave it for scrap. All those hoods were on one pallet for free.

WHX?? 48,815 #16 Posted August 14, 2020 I still have my work cut out for me as this is going to be an ongoing project for months to come. The exterior of the shed has a nice patina but starting to rot. Plans are to put MAINTENANCE FREE steel on it to match the shop & warehouse. One side has got steel on it already. Just gotta figurer a way to steel the doors. Can't grow a garden but sure got a nice crop of moss! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,725 #18 Posted August 14, 2020 Replace the bad wood on the bottom of the door and use aluminum and a bender to bend aluminum to cover the one -by on the door. That way you can keep it's chalet type style. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
