If you use much fuel at all, that will get old real quick.

It’s the best option I have short of buying a several hundred dollar pump. There’s a 2 foot elevation change from the bottom of the tank to the CTL fill lid. If the filter restricts flow too much I’ll take it out. When I don’t need fuel somewhere else I’ll set it in the barn loft and that’ll take care of the tractor and lawn mower. The backhoe I don’t currently own and the CTL will hold over half the tank so lifting it twice with the loader doesn’t seem like that big of a problem. I welded mounts for a clevis on the tank bands to make lifting with a chain pretty trouble free.

Get a Golden Rod filter and you won’t have flow restrictions.

goldenrod filters from Northern Tool + Equipment

You can get them on Amazon, at Northern Tool, Tractor Supply.

Oh I understand, at least you will have a good start on a transfer tank if you ever decide to go with a pump. I also agree with Rick go with golden rod filters.

I scored 2 gate post. I’ve got 3 more but I’ll have to wait until I’ve got the CTL to get them out of the ground. IMG_0953.JPG

I made a bushing to put an impeller on a smaller shaft motor. This is a monster 3phase dust collector conversion into a less monster single phase dust collector. We’ll see how that works out. At least the price was right. IMG_0981.JPGIMG_0982.JPGIMG_0983.JPG

I built a personal gym for my wife (and with her help) in my office I gave up for this purpose. We put 8X5 mirror on the wall and installed flat TV connected to SAT above that. Wi-Fi was already there. I will put a carpet on the floor tomorrow and order internet connected bike so she (and possibly also myself) could race with our children over Internet.

Sweet. We are just cleaning out our unfinished basement and having a contractor come out and finish it. We will be left with a bedroom, bathroom, common area, and most importantly a gym. Can’t wait to have a nice place to work out. Hoping for mirrors on the walls and also a tv or two. We do lots of video work out programs such as P90X and I am hoping to have more then one tv so no matter the exercise it is still in view. sure have come down in price. Any pics of your new gym?

Love our home gym. As I've gotten older, though, I find the hardest thing about workouts is getting past the procrastination and actually staying with them!

For those of us over 60, a friend tipped me off to this exercise program. Haven't started it yet. :)
