When I was looking for a seat for my Ford 1510 I looked hard at boats seats and if I had not been trying to keep it original because it belonged to my Dad I would have have done it.

Have you got pictures of the project? I don't use thin wall for anything sch 40 or better.

I use my four post for tire rotation a lot, let me explain once the vehicle is on the lift I raise it up to about chest level position my air jack so as to raise one side with one jack then I lower the lift to about waist level remove lugs now if I am working by myself I have a cart I roll one...

wow did you opened up a can of worms with this post, but I have enjoyed reading it. My two sense I have a Wildfire four post lift when I first bought it I didn't have room in my old shop so when I needed to lift something as big as my truck I put the wheels on it and rolled it outside then put...

mine is a 2018 Ram with the cummings and it is probably the best truck I have had. I just added firestone air bags to help level it up when I haul my big trailers and tractor. I have considered trading I was talking to a guy the other day that was driving one same year as mine but had a utility...

My step son is not very mechanical and only needed a saw to maintain his trail around his property so I convinced his wife to get him a Milwaukee m18 and he likes it no problem with chain, I have not had to clean the carburetor or get it running for him not one time and he already had some m18...

Welcome to TBN, I can tell from the picture your not from my neck of woods 🥶

I don't believe they changed but I would call my local Ram parts department and ask.

Been happening to me for a couple of days now

I thought about putting a rope ladder on the side of mine so I could position the basket then climb up into it. but I try to discourage myself from working alone when working off the ground.

It worked good on those briers I cut down in the front of that property they were about 8 feet tall.

Put it to work today I let the screen get full once but we caught it before it ran hot. Once Dad got on it I didn't think he was gonna stop. :giggle:

My Father in law and I went yesterday 12/22/2023 and picked ours up and you are correct I'm hearing things I haven't heard in years and somethings I still don't want to hear. It is a little over whelming, shoot I didn't realize my mouse clicked so loud.

The one in my B26 is 14 years old and it is getting real slow but still works.

He must be headed to JODY'S

My daughter was having trouble with her pop off valve leaking and got my son to come over and change it but it did not help so they put a pressure gauge on it and she said the pressure was running up extremely high so they replaced the pressure regulator at the meter and it still leaked. then...

I have some wonderful Grandkids' but he enjoys working in the shop with me and I enjoy it too, My Dad is 84 and anytime he comes up I always schedule some time for us to work on something because he still likes to but can't hold up to do it so I end up doing 95% of the work but he takes 75% of...

Got the small 4 foot cutter blades sharpened and gearbox oil changed anything else will be cosmetic I think it's time to put it to work and see what happens.

Okay got the oil and transmission fluid and filters done, Dad had said the 3 point lift was slow and didn't work right but it all seams fine after the new fluid and filter. the fluids did not look bad or smell burnt but the two low points on the rear were like a big fat worm coming out but only...

I had to call my Dad and ask him why he had the wheels on backwards and he let me know pretty quick he had never had those wheels off. While it was sitting on jack stands I noticed rub marks on the inside of both fenders and when I did get the wheels back I was having a hard time getting them...

The lift came with a set of wheels so if I needed to I could roll it out in front of the shop and lift something higher, I did that before I built on to my shop.

Yes the rim did good I was a bit surprised and my 22 year old grandson and my FIL both said I couldn't get back usable, I quickly remembered how hard it is to use a big hammer and hit something precisely where you need to. Thanks on the shop complement I broke down and ordered that lift after...

You are correct and I thought about it but didn't do it, I didn't take off but one tire had to let the tire shop do the other and I had to leave it with them so I could have painted them but didn't just being lazy I guess.

Got the rear tires on and in the shop for the fluid change.

I have the rear tires at the tire shop so I am waiting on them and when I get them on I'll be putting it on the lift and changing all the fluids. It will be ready for him to ride if he can get on it he is 84 years young and not as good as he once was. Been Done: Radiator flush and fill, new...

I find this all very interesting because, we have an individual that owns 22.5 acres behind us and including us there are 4 neighbors that gave him a 20 foot easement right down the property line. it is my understanding that the power company requires 30 feet to run power and he has decided to...

He knows I have been sending him pictures, but he will get to ride it if I can get it ready

I have a 14' and I wish I had a 16' I can haul my B26 but I have to hang the FEL over the front and I don't like it, but for short distances I have.

Just found out last night my Dad is coming up for a visit about the middle of December, I hope to have the tractor usable by then.

That's interesting will check it out later, I wonder if the MMS100 could be connected to google home?

So far this is exactly what I have, since I can't use there app.

After my old opener bit the dust and I had repaired it several times this last time I figured I would upgrade and get a new one the other one I had was used when I got it. So I purchased a Mighty Mule and installed it and after some head scratching I got it working much better than the old one...

It is way stronger and yes a little paint always makes things look better.

Before and after picture of home made grill

I was wondering about using one of those, thought about fixing it to a board so as the sockets are lay down that way the magnet is not holding the weight and the size would be facing up.

about a year ago I bought a cheap set of metric impact sockets and it came with it's own organizer but they were not adjustable and would not hold the sockets in order and when I did locate the one I wanted I had to use a screw driver to get it off, so then I brought home one of the cheesy metal...

I went ahead and flushed the radiator, changed air and fuel filter and of course got air in the line ended up bleeding everything and the coolant looked like muddy water or darker but it all looks good now found another tire shop that will do tractor wheels but no body is open till Monday.

Got the wheel beat back in shape but it will have to have a tube from now on. The numbers on the Wheel/Rim are W11x16 0587 Japan. I believe it is referred to as an AG wheel

I have not found a replacement wheel yet, I have two new tires so I'll have to stay with the size wheel/rim that I have. Today may be Hammer Time and see if I can make that wheel resemble it's former self. :)

I am constantly getting emails from these folks with buildings on clearance some are pretty good deals, get your name and email on their list and watch for something you want. SteelMaster Buildings 844-559-8582

Well I done it now I was trying to break down the rear tire and bent the rim with the bar I was using after bending it in a couple of places I got a little to rambunctious and when I was done I think I need a new one. :mad:

I wish we lived closer I been wanting to do an experiment with a bad Noco and of course it involves taking one apart.

They sell different amperage ones so get one that fits what you are jumping off, me I purchased a NOCO big enough to jump my diesel pick up and have jumped everything from my truck to my lawn mower they work. I also used it to finish dumping a load of dirt in my dump trailer once.

I'll have to admit that first picture and story brought a proud tear to my eye and I have to agree with Dude more Patriotism needs to be taught in our country.

My Dad got some OTC aids and at first seamed to like them but after a while said they didn't help with conversation but are great for watching videos with his phone. My MIL got the 6K pair and bless her she has a terrible time getting them in her ear correctly so they don't really help much and...

Woody is a play on my last name I guess I've been called that for better than 50 years.

Yes sir I looked at Tractor Supply and they are out of the manual that covers the 1510, so I'm looking for a PDF I can download or I may check a different TSC later. I put new front tires on yesterday and found something to build the grill out of, but since I have been real busy helping my...

It will now and the hydraulics are working although a little sluggish but I am hoping when I get around to the fluid and filter change it will get better.

first things to do is new tires, that is why I have it raised up so I can get the front tires off. Then I can get it in the shop for a complete oil and hydraulic oil with filter change.

My Dad has decided to down size and basically get rid of everything he didn't have to have, and I got because no one else wanted it a 1986 Ford 1510 in pretty sad shape. I may not restore it to it's former glory but I will restore it to working condition.

So do we have anyone that is on the Humana USAA Honor plan and do you like it?

Thanks for all the replies I'll be asking the guy about this when he calls back, if I can't switch back because I am having a problem with it I don't think I like it.

Matt from what the guy on the phone told me they pay 88 dollars a month towards my part B, I'm just having a hard time understanding how they can charge me zero and increase my benefits and then pay money for my Medicare part B.

Digging up an old thread but there is a lot of good information in it, that being said I will soon turn 65 and will go on Medicare A&B, I have Tricare and as of Jan 2024 it will turn to Tricare 4life, a Humana rep wants me to take USAA honor plan at a zero cost for me. This is all quite...

I use the one in my truck mostly at the rock quarry and the one on my motorcycle for group rides.

Yes I still use a CB.

Well since you dug up an old thread and I read the whole thing :unsure: I used my son's Milwaukee M18 while working on his trail and it worked very well and now that my FIL can't handle a gas saw anymore we have gotten him one for his birthday next week hope he likes it. It still has a little...

mine didn't take two weeks, I completely rewired my trailer and tested the lights then parked it. Two weeks later I hooked it up to make a run to the lumber yard but the lights didn't work so I pulled it up to the shop and was looking for something I did wrong but the only thing I did wrong was...

this is what I use and I prefer the second picture

I know there are a lot of differences between GMC and VW but I had similar problem with our VW and it turned out to be a wheel speed sensor I purchased a code reader and it lead me right to it.

Reading this thread with interest, it got me to thinking about installing a door opener on my shop I have not had the door on there but a few months and am already thinking about putting an opener on it. But it is a 12x12 rollup door and the abundance of options are confusing. Never had a...

I run across some 5 conductor 14 gauge wire that was used in a plant construction and used that on my 16 foot utility trailer it's been several years now with no problems.

I switched over to Milwaukee several years ago and just bought my Dad a combo set for fathers day because his old 19.2 craftsmen batteries have bit the dust. Several years ago I was looking for something better and the power plant I was working at bought some Milwaukee tools for us to use during...

I ran mine on my B26 and controlled the speed with the tractor rpm, it did well and cut down my driveway cleaning time by a lot.

I've done that tied front and back but we were not going far and did not get off company property.

you nailed it that is exactly what happened, I replaced the missing hub, springs and tires had to repair the wiring also. Look closely and you can see that the metal got so hot it melted the wire going to the tail light.

ok so you wants some pictures, I do believe this trailer was hauled wrong before I loaded it on my trailer and yes that was a 4 leaf spring before.

Nice looking trailer that should take care of all your towing

The only question I can help with is #2 there is no safety switch

I'm with some of the others, No I would go in that sub and I take a big enough risk each time I get on my motorcycle

I'm having trouble stopping at one thing but since I got my 4 post lift I keep coming up with new things to use it for. loaded my Miller welder in the back of my truck the other day and the wife just shuck her head and laughed and the easiest set of lawn mower blades I ever changed was on the lift.

While hauling this way before I screwed a block of wood to the underside of the 4x4 to keep them from sliding from side to side, I have not done that since getting my trailer with a flat bed though.

Thanks for the replies I run it just a little and it seams just fine but later when I go do some bush hogging I will know

Okay this is what I came up with and if the heat don't destroy it then I think it will work. the screw heads slide in the same grove as the old screen and the ones on the bottom keep it from going to far. The frame is aluminum and so is the screen and I know they make the corners in aluminum but...

I have an Exmark that was doing the same thing and I picked up a battery disconnect switch from harbor freight and it has not drained since.

Thanks for the reply, I might not of been clear I was referring to the screen that we have to clean just in front of the radiator. I will check these folks out Thanks

the radiator screen on my 1980 Ford 1700 is rotten and trying to pry the metal frame a part to just replace the screen is not working. I have found a couple of complete screens on line but at 120 bucks I am thinking I can build something, now I have an idea but I'm looking for something that has...

I have the Milwaukee grease gun and will not go back to a manual or an air operated one. sometimes I just line up the tractors and the lawnmowers and use up some grease tubes.

I use to have a ditch between my property and my neighbors and I would use a sickle mower to cut both sides at one time but when I moved my dad got it and started using it to cut around his pond said worked good.

those ramps look like they would be slicker than owl ---- when wet be careful

I spent the extra when I purchased mine and got the 1400 lbs I don't regret it. about a year ago I was at a local tire shop waiting my turn and was observing the tech having trouble getting several lug nuts off he had the owner out there and they were discussing different ways they could try. I...

Had a friend donate some steel to me so I put it to use and built a porch in front of the 10ft rollup door, the post are 4inch channel and the rafters are 3inch beams all welded together. I scored the Hat channel for 28 bucks a 20ft stick the local roofing supplier was asking 60 bucks. I will...

your profile doesn't mention where you are, but if you have someone around that can let you use their trailer and give you some pointers that would be best. Short trailers are harder to control and one tip I always tell my kids is go slow and if you place your hand on the bottom of the steering...

was the tripped breakers on the same buss bar or maybe every other breaker?

we purchased new living room furniture and I told the saleslady my wife and could not move the old furniture and she said the delivery guys could move it so we made the order and then when the lady calls me to arrange delivery I told her my wife has had back surgery and I have a bad back as well...

That's messed up right there some people just will not listen

carried my old 1700 over to my son's house and scraped the gravel driveway smooth, finally gave up on the starter and ordered a new one got tired of jumping it with a screw driver and the starter was dragging anyway.

what was you doing when that happened?

I use the Stihl 2 cycle oil for 2.5 gallon mix but my jug is a 2 gallon jug so I have been using to much oil for years and I don't believe it has hurt a thing, I had rather have a little to much than not enough. Now when it comes to my seafoam I buy several cans when I see it on sale and I'm...

I don't use my wire welder very often so what is the best way to keep rust and stuff off the wire?

A picture of your log jam was be helpful.

And they know that so maybe they looking for a little regifting 😊

I'm sitting here thinking that would be a good use for a drone has anyone tried it?

A couple years ago we visited some friends out of state and they explained the way they do it after your 18th birthday no more Christmas or birthday presents and since I had been trying to trim down our Christmas buying I looked at my wife and she said NO don't even think about it, I did set a...

12" I only have 2" in mine but it doesn't get near that cold here

Got my first circuit connected of all things it is the vent fan and it is to cold to run it 😊 but it was the closest one to start on and I used MC cable for it. Now I need to get to running some conduit.

I am planning on the second ground rod, and I have enough wire in the first box to move it to a breaker but I'll have to move something else out of the old box to the new box to make room.

Okay got an update and a question, the shop is up and usable I did finally finish the back wall where the two buildings tie together and with several rainy days it did not have any leaks where I joined them, there is some water seeping under the 10 foot rollup door. Now for the question, I have...

all this organizing makes my head hurt but I like it.

That's why I have friends on TBN no one on here needs to borrow my stuff 😊

I was considering the same thing as I was supposed to put in a power pole but the job changed and I don't need it, but I may still build one incase I need it. Watching this thread for ideas

Your temporary solution is like mine, I tend to leave it as long as it works

That is what I was trying to avoid when I decided to over lap the buildings, the new metal should land just behind the first ridge on the old building

The gray one in the back ground must be that ones replacement.

Yes the new building over laps the Quonset hut about 6 inches so when I finish the new building it will be all closed in, metal to metal and electrical

Good point, I plan on running a ground wire from the panel and grounded the building also.

Thank y'all for your replies, I had thought about putting in a GFI breaker in but I had not really decided yet. when I wired my other shop 20 years ago I did not install any GFI's until later when I installed a RV box for my Dad to use when he came to visit and it has a 50A, 30A and a 120 volt...

It's coming on and looking good. I do have some electrical experience and that maybe why I enjoy a good electrical discussion because I continue to learn and sometimes it just reminds me of things I have forgotten. I have a ground rod at the building now but I plan on installing another

if we were just a little closer I would volunteer to show you what I could, not saying my bits turn out like new but they do work when I'm done. Got to be something in the setup

Congratulations, My grandson just told me last week that I am going to be a great granddad. o_O

Actually my wife has been turned down twice. After she was turned down the first time I let her use my spare machine and she noticed a difference in her sleep after about six months she done another test and both where away from home at the hospital they also told her she did not need a machine...

I will look for some when I make a trip to town, Thanks

Jeff I told to run a bead of caulk before setting the building and I was going to ask here what type should I use for metal to concrete?

Concrete coming tomorrow, no word on the building yet.

working on gravel and forms will have the concrete pad before long

Jeff that is so close to what I have in mind, I was considering using EMT because it is metal and I think would be better but I have about 10 sticks of 1/2 inch PVC conduit laying behind my shop I can use instead of buying. I see you used some MC cable and some EMT I may use some PVC and some...

No but it is just a basic garage type. This is not it but it is similar

I been thinking a long those same lines. I dug out for the concrete yesterday and I am going to get some gravel and then call my concrete guys but I am already planning the inside of the building.

Thanks for the reply, I have been doing a little research and it is surprising how close metal EMT and PVC conduit are in price.

I ordered a new metal shop building today, it is basically a glorified car port but it will serve to double the size of my existing shop and with a taller roof it will be better suited for my recent lift addition. It will have the square tubing wall studs and roofing metal walls, with the wall...

I was showed that a long time ago and it just didn't catch on with me but you can just pull out what you need and then put it all back. Now that I'm older and my arms are not as strong as they once was I may have to revisit that on some of my longer cords.

I am not sure it is actually a delay you are seeing but maybe the controller setting is low. the lower the setting the longer it takes to stop the wheel and the higher the setting the faster or stronger the brakes are applied. I believe it is working correctly from your description.

Nope that little lie is self preserving and besides you will probably give her plenty more ammo later.

Okay after being out of town and then trying to play catch up with chores, I finally got both trailers and my truck wired up and ready. I did plug the trailers up just long enough to verify a difference in the sound of the pump but I have not gotten a chance to use either one yet. Should I...

Good eye I see the wood and some chipped paint in the area, might look into fabricating a guard for those hoses. Looks to me like you maybe able to remove the broken end with an ese out and as someone else said carry complete hose to a local shop that makes hoses.

Would it be possible to put a vent high and one low to create air circulation and maybe put it where it will be shaded part of the day?

Okay, so all of mine are inside with a regular plug down stream and outside and I have never had that to happen not saying that's the problem just comparing. another thought is there more than one actual GFCI plug on that circuit?

is the GFCI physically out doors or is it in doors with an outside plug down stream?

Welcome to TBN from Alabama

I bought the Ryobi from Homedepot a few months ago and was pleasantly surprised, I like the fact that it cuts off when I let go of the trigger and the 2300 psi is plenty for what I need it for, it is lighter than my gas powered one and I don't have to put gas in it and pull on it to crank it my...

no they are in a box but it is about 12 feet from the hitch, so that I can keep the connector clean and safe I need some way to store it. a box or even another connector mounted close to the hitch.

now that you mentioned it I do have a spare 50 cal box somewhere

I agree and I was thinking about the tilt trailer it doesn't have a box close to the hitch, I should have been more clear.

All good information now I'm concerned about the cca cable but it's on the way so I will try it. does anyone know if they make a dummy plug just to hold the cable connector on the trailer when not in use or maybe when being pulled by a different vehicle?

Sir I believe you are correct copper clad aluminum

I looked until I give up and this looked like the most complete kit I could find, don't like the DCCA wire either but the reviews were all good with the exception of one. I know a couple of scrap dealers I might have to put the word out I'm looking for some welding wire and see what shows up...

2Ga Permanent Installation 7pc Dump Trailer/Winch Kit 36ft Universal kit I ordered this from Amazon, I liked the fact it had a breaker and all connections were already made up.

I am planning on leaving a battery in the trailer as a matter of fact I'm not changing what I do now I always leave home with a fully charged trailer battery.

jaxs thanks for the information, I did post that I had a relay wired in so as my truck auto disconnects when trailer is dumping. This is exactly why I asked this question to start with to get different opinions and real world experiences. LD1 thanks for your replies also I ordered the material...

LD1 we must have been typing at the same time.

:unsure: Okay the trailer has a battery of it's own it only gets a trickle charge from the truck so it dumps the trailer until it don't. without removing the trailer battery I was going to connect the truck batteries in parallel to the trailer adding 2 more batteries to help with the load. In my...

My trailer had one of those and it went bad, got to where it would start charging when I plugged it in but would not fully charge the battery so I started using a different charger works fine a little inconvenient but works. I rotate a couple of deep cycle batteries the one in my trailer and the...

it is a 12V system I have a hard wired hand held that will reach my truck cab, but I also connected a remote that I use when spreading a load.

All good responses and thanks, I do keep the trailer plugged in to a trickle charger and it charges through my trucks 7 way plug and I wired up a relay so it disconnects from the truck while dumping but short runs between dumps and I have a dead battery. I do carry a NOCO jumper with me and it...

The sickle bar was used and no filtration on the bar there is a diverter valve that either goes to the lifting cylinder or the sickle bar motor. when the diverter valve is going to the cylinder I can raise or lower by using the 3rd function buttons on the loader. I don't have a schematic but I...

rScotty that is what I'm thinking happen but I have not torn into the sickle bar valve to see.

I'm considering connecting my dump trailer to my trucks battery, I have seen several kits to do this with but my concern is the strain it would put on my truck battery and since my Ram has two batteries does it make a difference which battery I connect to? I also have a tilt deck hydraulic...

I have never had a scrape blade on my L45 but I believe it would not have a problem. My thought would be do you have loaded tires for traction? I use a 5 foot blade on my B26 just for reference.

After cleaning out the valve I used the L45 about 6 hours and it worked good there was one time it acted like it past some trash or had some air in it but I was not using the sickle bar or the 3rd function so hopefully it past on to the tank where the filter can take care of it.

This the second time this has happened to me, the first time was hard to figure out but this time I knew just what to do. That's why we all share our experiences on TBN I know I have learned a lot reading about someone else misfortune.

rScotty, I believe it uses the PB port and the trash was not letting the spool go back to center.

That is a picture of it mounted on a skid steer not on my Kubota

:unsure: was it something I said?

The 3rd function valve messed up again I told myself if it did it again I was replacing it with a new one, but I didn't! While using my hydraulic sickle bar the other day my 3rd function valve stuck on. since it was on I just finished what I was doing but the rest of the tractor hydraulics kept...

I put one similar to that on my motorcycle but with a volt meter and it works great. Nice clean install on yours, none of my tractors have one I may have to look at that.

This thread might be some good reading for you. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/logsplitter-lift.328514/

I checked all the lights vanity mirror, glove box and cabin lights did not see any on but that did raise a question. since the 12v plug has to be hot all the time in order to work and the only one I have is behind the console I think I will try to splice into the hot wire going to the glove box...

I ordered a 10W solar panel with a built in controller so we will see how it works.

If I am understanding what your saying I would think #20 would be the problem, or maybe just order both.

A few years ago when I was doing side jobs I would have like to have had that trailer it looks like it could have been handy, but now a days I leave most of the work to someone else.

I had my alternator checked when I replaced the batteries and I do have the HD and it was showing good voltage. All connections have been checked I was hoping I had missed something. I like the solar idea cause when we go camping and carry the motorcycle the truck may not get cranked until it...

this sounds like an opportunity to upgrade the pump if need be.

Since I retired I don't drive my truck unless I need a truck hauling or pulling something. With fuel prices the way they are we go in the car or on the motorcycle when possible. So I have in the past year replaced the both batteries in my 2018 ram because after it sitting for a week or so it...

I got in trouble yesterday I parked beside a handicap spot (I have a disabled vet tag) and my wife says that spot is closer to the door and my reply was I don't feel handicapped today and you need to walk so I sit in the car while she went in. 😊

Glad you are ok and that is a good reminder to the rest of us.

I think it is Bias ply

I finally got a chance to use my lift with a mower, that was the easiest blades I ever changed and I been changing them on that Kubota for 10 years.

my wife had back surgery and me not wanting to do the dirty work bought her a ToTo bidet to add on our toilet the heated set is all ways just right and that splash of water when your done with your business is great, we sure do miss it when we go on vacation. Do retired people still get a...

Ebay, there are more there now than when I got mine. we have used the usb connector while camping.

I still have a few craftsman 19V tools and have not bought a battery for them in years, I switched to Milwaukee and bought an adapter to run the Milwaukee batteries on my craftsman tools. I only have a few craftsman left but the adapter will also allow me to plug in my cell phone.

My daughter-in-law wanted to buy my son a chainsaw for Christmas a couple years ago and being the fortune teller I am :unsure: I talked her into a battery Milwaukee because he already had an impact and drill and I have several batteries. My prediction was right it set in his closet for almost a...

Welcome to TBN! Your post don't say what part of Alabama I am in central

my runners are bolted in place with no other holes to bolt them in. I only bought one air jack I used the air jack to raise up one side of the vehicle and placed jack stands under front and rear.

Since I modified the wheels on the lift, like yesterday I used the tractor and pulled the lift outside where we done the tire rotation and had a look under his vehicle at things he had not seen before and he has decided he is going to change his own oil and filter since the lift will make it a...

I should have asked him that.

My grandson came by today and wanted to rotate his tires, so I got to try out the air jack on the lift. It all worked fine and I did not have to crawl around on the ground to find a good place for the jack.

Mine are not and as heavy as they are I don't think I want to. I have done some measuring and believe the ZTR will fit cross ways. I am going to cut two runners to go in the middle and put my mower ramps that I use to load on the trailer on the side drive it on and remove or just slid the two...

shhhh don't say that out loud I plan on using that excuse to add on to the shop. ;)

That's one of the reasons I went with the four post but the mobility was a bigger reason. I replaced the swivel wheels on one end of the lift and now I can move it in and out of the shop without much trouble using the tractor of course.

I won't be able to do that with mine unless I get real creative. but that's pretty awesome.

https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/sabre-samurai.280697/ this is from when I first got mine and if you will search there are several more with lots of info. I don't use mine anymore since I got the bigger sickle bar.

I can't help myself I tried to move on but couldn't. is STUPID another one of those words we can't say? sorry I didn't know.

I have used a sabre sickle bar on the front of my B26 and I use motor rpm for the speed of the mower and just hold the button because sometimes I need it to stop quickly.

The real test Ram 2500 and it did good.

Optical allusion, I was a little down hill from the concrete pad when I took the picture.
