    Good Morning! I will have to do some major home improvement projects, most notably re-staining/sealing our log home, and I don’t want to do it on a ladder. A scaffold (or two) would make for a much easier and safer job. I have never used scaffolding before. -EDIT/UPDATE: Terrain and deck...

    TRACTOR SLUNG PTO SHAFT!!! - PICS.

    In case anyone takes life for granted when standing near a spinning PTO shaft - here's what can happen when a #8 grade bolt for PTO clutch is no match for PTO engagement at 2000 RPM's (that was my fault - had just turned PTO off and saw I had missed a spot so turned it right back on before...
