That looks to be made of sheetmetal.

I haven't seen an HF magazine ad since Covid. Are there any now?

HF says they are opening 2 new stores per week. The sign on the new local store, 60 miles from another HF store said.

I bought a set like this for testing my dozer and excavator. $50-70 https://www.amazon.com/VEVOR-Hydraulic-Excavator-Construction-11Couplings/dp/B07HQ3CZ1B/

Online, my local Tractor Supply only lists Stens AW46 for $160 for 5 gal. Walmart will deliver Sinopec AW46 for $47.49 for 5 gal. I also buy from the local Chevron jobber.

Thanks for this! I was looking at 2# rolls for $10-15 (unknown COO), and INE on AMZ -made in Italy - is 10# for $25-30!

I plan on doing this with a broken Irwin EZout stuck 40 years ago in a '59 Corvette 4 speed.

The non-UAW Maverick factory in Hermasillo went to 3 shifts in the last month or so. My Maverick hybrid was ordered in May and delivered Nov. 3. Some 2022 orders were upgraded to 2023 and then 2024. Some orders were given discounts for the changes and wait.

I have gotten impact sockets at the local Habitat For Humanity stores. They range from 6/$1 to $1 each. Many are US made and some are Chinese. At those prices I have backups for my backups. My monster Makita 1/2" impact hasn't broken one yet. Tekton and Gearwrench will warranty their stuff with...

I hosed my excavator with premade stock length hoses and fittings from www.surpluscenter.com . They ship by USPS so boxes arrived 2-3 days later, from Nebraska to Oregon. For emergency hoses I go to a commercial fishing supply and a saw shop/rental place, much less expensive than the NAPA. I...

The steel looks very rough. Poor quality? China?

My dad twice loaned out equipment to friends. One dozer came back with a cracked block, and the other, an Oliver OC 4, beautiful little diesel dozer, was rolled and the operator killed. Cracked the case and both finals. Never was right again. Not "perfect". Everything stays on my place.

For the 1" ledge you can put some 1/2" PVC pipe pieces or triangular wood pieces there when you need to roll something in.

A 6 way or 8 way tilt blade. A big dozer with operator or a small/medium dozer you buy or rent would be my first action. Then later get a tractor for finish work and maintenance. I started with a TD9 dozer and a Case 580B. Now I have a Mitsubishi BD2J dozer and a Bobcat 331 mini-x that do...

Yeah, that's why I have 2 Hurst Line-Loc setups for future projects, a 68 Dart with a 440 and some other project. The Line-Loc allows you to lock your front brakes to do a burnout for drag racing. My 32 Ford 3w coupe (racecar from 1959) had a locking aircraft brake valve mounted on the dash for...

For real heavy pulling I use a cable choker behind my dozer. Real logs. For little stuff, a chain. Sticks. Always good leather gloves with the cable choker.

Always good tests of things from tools to rechargeable batteries.

Oregon State Highway used to have a chain flail mounted on an arm on a grader for cutting roadsides.

Don't buy this... Found today on TBN.

If I can't do the work with my Mitsubishi BD2J dozer or my Bobcat 331 mini-X it doesn't get done. I almost bought a Kubota L2250 but I'll rent a small track scoop for the little bit of gravel moving into my shop floor.

You will NEVER meet a scam seller of a $1200 Kubota or Toyota. These are what I see on CL and FB Marketplace most often. Both have ways to report scams. Scam reporting works well on CL and FB.

Whack it until it works. That is the sufficient whack. If you whack it until it breaks, that is too much whack. My dad used to say "Come spin or bust."

In the last year there was a similar story that I posted this on, I think. My dad loaned out a small dozer to a "partner" for personal use. The guy used it on a job where it was rolled by an old man, killing said old man. Then it was brought back with a broken final and case. I don't get asked...

My small Mitsubishi dozer won't push like the old TD9 or HD7 would, but it's better than the Oliver OC4 was.

My dad loaned out his diesel Oliver OC4b dozer to a "friend" to do a little dirt work. The "friend" took it to a jobsite where his boss' father rolled it, killing himself. The rollover also broke the final and case. It was never the same. Looked like this'un.

If I recall correctly, on the TD9 we had years ago you closed the petcock at the glass bowl, then pulled the diesel throttle while pushing the gas throttle.

Looks a lot like a hood spring from a car or pickup.

I haven't been to that museum or The Spruce Goose yet.

My dad and I would go to Kroenigs for parts. Sometimes I would pick up parts when going home from Linfield. Neat machine!

At Walmart, their gallon of bar oil is $12.73.

I keep my Makita 18v in an old plastic tool box with a handle. I have an Aussie made Macnaught KY Plus Safety Grease Coupler on it from Amazon.

Wench vs. winch... Mid to low level Warn winches are made in China, IIRC. I got a Smittybilt (pictured) thinking it was made in USA as the website said, but no longer, 2 years ago.

He solved it. The first step should always be to clean the batt connections, then cable ends. It is the easiest and probably most common solution to the clicking in my experience.

Like the Springfield tire fire on the Simpsons. Maybe all of the volatile liquid burned out, leaving a carbon rich mess. if you can't recycle it due to the asphalt plant only accepting ground asphalt, you could find a place on your property for a parking place. Excavate it and put the pile in...

The cones would work with one wheel off if it didn't have a Positraction/locker/Sure-Grip rear diff. If it did, you had to jack up both wheels or remove both. I split a lot of wood in my youth with a sledge, wedge, and maul. Usually big Fir on logging sites.
