I replaced the engine on a Kemp chipper with a Horrible Freight horizontal shaft, and am having some difficulty getting the engine pulley to stay put. Any suggestions, or rules of wisdom for that problem? Just installed for the 2nd time with locktite on the setscrews and key, but wondering if...

All the way down, then 2 taps up seems to be the key for me. But I'm gonna put a pipe on the edge too. Or move south.

With a 3" cylinder you should be able to use it as a hoist in the summer. Next is to get some bracing behind the mount.

I'm working up one now. Bought an old Massey so I could leave the back hoe on the Kioti, and who doesn't need another tractor??

I just picked this one up. Ordered new nose parts, and a seal for the tach drive, filters, etc.

I just picked up an industrial that I'm having trouble identifying. Serial #9AT96858 Help is greatly appreciated, I'm going cross-eyed looking for the model #. If the T is actually a 1, it would seem to be a Model 2135, but it sure looks like a T.

My 3 point went from normal to snail's pace this winter. Not the control valve (unless it's obstructed). Heading out to change hyd & hst filters, wondering what else to look for? TIA.

I pulled myself up the hill with a week or two's heat chained on the back. Not sure if it makes total sense, but it definitely is fun.. Have to weigh the advantage of not sawing in the sticker bushes, compared to dragging the tree thru the mud before cutting it up.

I mounted up this Superwinch 8500 to help me drop some trees not on my shop. If I can get about 6 down, with no 'collateral damage', it won't owe me nuthin. :D

don't know if this has been around, but I stumbled onto it, figured I'd share it. A Russian tractor driver refuses to give up after his vehicle gets stuck in a river. - YouTube

I have a QC-3 on the line. Seems to work good, it gets obvious pretty quick when it needs a cartridge. I was surprised how fast it cut the 3/4", figured it would be a lot slower process. Have to get positioned so you can watch the stream too, wish I had more time to get good with it.. This is a...

Love the PowerPlasma70. Not sayin I know how to use it, but for me, this is a good cut. 3/4" hot roll.

Figured you guys would appreciate this one. Must be 100' in reverse, after forward for 15.. Ears plugged, radio on, didn't even feel it till the last couple. Was thinking 'something's funky with those trailer brakes'. :o

My shop's too full, too. Have to get rid of something(s) every time I get something.. Home-brew solar collectors. 20 ga. galv.

Picked this up from Enco for just about a buck a pound. :)
