    Lombard Log Hauler

    We are working on getting our steam traction engine back home where she belongs. She was used in the timbering, lumber and shingle industry here in Shingletown from 1905 to about 1938, when she was parked as an exhibit on the side of the road. She's been overhauled and then her boiler went bad...

    Front-End Loader 3 pt. attachents mounted to loader

    I've been looking at one to use my rear blade (not BB) for snow plowing work and also attaching my Fresno digger to the front for delicate jobs in tight spaces.

    BOLENS G14 1453

    Nice buy - I have one as well but not with the attachments. Strong little tractor and I love the ag tires on mine - makes it think it's a big boy. Painted it a few years ago - not white though.

    New Member in Southern California

    Glad to have you aboard. You are about as far south as I am north. But you don't have a volcano, huh?

    Canopy G3038H ROPS/FOPS and fiberglass canopy on top

    Okay, I've been doing some thinking (painful) and trying to do this project as inexpensively as I can. I happen to have sever 10' lengths of Superstrut that was originally intended for a ground mount solar add on on my ranch, which has since been sold. I'm going to use this for the A-pillars...

    So what would you have done different with your new shop?

    Agreed. It does take a bit more wire (often) and a little more planning, but that breaker is not the way to do it. If you want a single switch for all lights just put one of these in the circuit right next to the breaker box, if that's convenient and use it to do all the lights in the place.

    Tooth bar

    I think the best way is to come up against the willow, engage it with the toothbar but don't push too hard, and roll the bucket back while creeping forward. That is what I do with the manzanita that I'm trying to get out and it is a bit tougher than a little willow. I suppose, if you put the...

    Log Splitter Caddy

    I saw this great little idea when looking for something else on YouTube and said, "Hey, what a great way to get rid of a wire basket I have laying around." Besides getting rid of some of my treasures from my metals pile, the wire basket is great because there are no wood chips to contend with...

    Black as standard loader attachment paint?

    Black goes with everything - While I'm cheap and would certainly use a Kubota OEM bucket if I could find one at a really good price, and I wouldn't paint it, it would sure look odd with my blue tractor. Everyone would think I had a Mercum.

    Flat face hydraulic connectors are better?

    Yes, I don't know why it's true, but it is. I can't say it is a "feature" of FF couplers because I have had occasional residual pressure in ag style as well but the FF are certainly very consistent in this regard. As I said, relieving the pressure in the ag style is very easy, a tap on the end...

    MIG welding thin steel

    Of course you can just get a portable tig/stick like I have. Just throw it in the back of the car and take it wherever you want. 450 lbs of love.
