I am thinking about getting a portable 120 volt MIG welder to do some floor pan repair on an old Mustang. Can you buy the gas bottles or do you have to lease them? Around here you can't buy oxy/acetylene tanks, you must lease them from the supplier. What about flux core wire? Does that work well...

Hey guys Today when I went to use the loader it was acting very strange. The raise/lower function seems to work ok but curl function is messed up. If I pull the joystick to the left, the bucket seems to curl back normally but when I move the joystick to the right about half way, the bucket will...

I made my own mulching kit. I took a piece of heavy gauge sheet metal, cut it to fit the opening of the discharge chute, welded a piece of angle iron to the top of the sheet metal and then welded two 1/4 inch bolts to the angle iron. Theses bolts act as locating pins for the two holes I drilled...

Somebody I know recently bought a brand new Chevy 1500 pickup. It's a beautiful truck but when I looked underneath I noticed that there were some small 1" size spots of surface rust already starting on the frame. There were also some large areas (about 6 to 8 inches square) on the rails and...

Did this thread get pulled? I haven't seen any posts in a long time.

Here is the chute blocker that I made, it's not as fancy as Scooby's but it works great for mulching leaves. It's just a piece of heavy sheet metal with a piece of angle iron welded to the top. I then welded two short bolts to the angle iron. Those bolts act as locating pins for the two holes...

We got about three feet here in CT. Spent around 7 hours today moving snow with the TC-29.

I converted my BX into a mulcher by making a plate that covers the opening of the mower deck. Only cost a few bucks to make and it works really well.

Here are some photos of a mulcher plate I made for the BX. I just cut out a piece of heavy gauge sheet metal to match the shape of the mower outlet and welded a piece of angle iron to the top of it. I then drilled two holes on the top of the deck for the two 1/4 inch bolts that I welded to the...

I noticed that the steering stop bolt is broken off for the right front wheel, it looks like the casting snapped off from the steering knuckle. Has anyone ever seen this before? If I can find the missing part that broke off can it be welded back on? The tractor is a BX 1500 with only about 300...

Recently I had to replace the valve stems on the BX1500 because they were cracked and dry rotted. Using the backhoe and a block of wood was the only way we could get tire beads broken, I'm sure there are other creative ways to do this.

I just powerwashed my deck which is around 30 years old. The deck is made from pressure treated wood and has never been stained or sealed, in fact, it had never even been cleaned. It was really covered with mildew and looked nasty but after cleaning it now looks almost like new, I was amazed. I...

When you move the lever to engage the PTO on the BX, are you engaging a clutch, or are you opening a hydraulic valve that sends fluid to a hydraulic motor that makes the PTO turn?

I need to renovate the kitchen and bathroom and I'm looking at options for the type of floor to use. Was wondering if anyone has the cork flooring and what you think of it. Thanks
