The videos show it does a great job. I like your projects.

Thanks for the kind words.

Here is a photo of a rear hydraulic angle blade I designed and built several years ago. I never used it even one time and it sat for several more years. So I decided to cut the main beam off where it swiveled and turn it around and convert it into the snow bucket I now use on my little Waldon mini loader. The second photo shows the sides and floor attached but not the top piece of steel. I still use this bucket every winter. Funny to think how it started out and how it finished looking.

You are very talented.

Is your museum open to visitors?

 

[Waldon52]

Ha, Ha, sorry no museum , most things get sold I build but I sure have fun building them.

It looks like you added a cab to your Waldon tractor. Did you build the tractor from scratch? That would be neat to read about.

 

[Waldon52]

Yes, I built a cab for the Waldon Loader, much nicer on windy days. No I bought two of the Waldon Loaders and tweaked them a bit . They are old and very slow . I sold one of them but I sure have fun moving snow with the other one.

JD 54" Snow Blade Extensions- I have been thinking about making some extensions for my blade to increase the plowing width to 70" . It would be a pretty easy project. Here are photos of the Steiner/Deere blade that I tweaked and built extensions for. They work great .

Ok, brain cramp by me. I was thinking your last name is Waldon because of your screen name but obviously not according to the links in your signature. Duh.

Thanks for the link Xfaxman.

Ha, Ha, Waldon is not my name. My name is Don Campbell .

Garden Tractor Grader Blades- Over the years I have built 15 or so small tractor blades. But I have never shared that a few of them I still have have never seen dirt or snow. It would be great fun to plow snow with them but they get packed away like sardines in the back shed. They would just be in the way all winter otherwise.

Ha, Ha, Waldon is not my name. My name is Don Campbell .

Brain fart.

JD 730 Narrow Front / Trip Bucket Loader- Here is another fun project I built. I had never seen anyone build a old fashioned trip bucket style loader on a narrow front garden tractor. So I had to do it, ha,ha. Today the loader is off of it and it is also packed in the back shed for the winter months. Now it has rear duel wheels and I love how it looks. I have always loved duel wheels on tractors. My little grandson loves grandpas little tractors.

John Deere Cab- Here is another project I built but never used. I scratch built this cab and tweaked the front snowblower and took a old 59" front mount snowblower and tweaked it into a rear box scraper. This was another very fun project. I did sell this one to a fellow in the U.P. of Michigan.:thumbsup:

Simply amazing!!!

 

[Waldon52]

Thanks !!
BEARING BUSTER PROJECT- Yesterday I built this little tool rather than pay $40.00 plus shipping on line. Just a piece of pipe welded to a piece of steel rod , then I took the plasma cutter and cut a strip out of the pipe just wide enough to slip over the shaft to knock out the bearings from the inside. Another fun little winter project.

Lawn Trailers- Over the uears I have had so much fun building small trailers , wagons and sulkies. Often from scraps around and tires I picked up cheap or even got many of them free.
As a young boy I enjoyed pulling three real wagons up and down the roads on the farm during harvest time. So hooking these little trailers together brought back fond memories of those days so long ago. What great fun it has been in my little shop.
