Wow, that's a "BEAST" Very good use of "scrap" materials. Thanks for posting. What do you think it weighs? Also, do you remove your outboard often? (I'm jealous of the Mag-Drill BTW) (y)

Wow that's quite the adventure. Have that guy fix it with a Heli-coil and see if he will "show you" how to do it. Its not very hard, and it's a great skill to have. I have used hundreds (possibly thousands) of them and they work great. I have no working knowledge of the part you are talking...

I can't comment (intelligently) on the actual differences, but I would most likely choose the MX. I can comment on "turbos in general". I have had 2 Cummins engines and a Volkswagen TDI. With a combined total of about 700,000 miles I have never had a turbo related problem. Use a good quality...

First thing that came to my head was... Weld a plate on each side like this. You might have to put a "jog" or "step" (middle vertical line) in it to account for the thickness of the vertical part. Be sure to go back on that trailing piece a few inches. Then cut out the bottom plate that is...

I'm betting that the "stick controls" are there because the foot area is pretty crowded on HST models. That would be my guess anyway.

Sounds like a worthy project to me. Since there seems to be a decent amount of options, The hardest part is probably going to be evaluating the "Quality V Cost" thing. Don't forget to take pics as you go. (y)

Nice job! I love having a welder. It's right up there at the top of my "Most Favorite Tools" list. The overlay plate sounds like a good idea too.(y)

Threats of cavity searches are no joke, and the thought of one made my ass pucker so hard, that you couldn't have gotten a needle up my ass with a jackhammer. 😂 The night shift Border Fuzz are very uptight, so keep your “pie hole” shut, but the dayshift guys have a sense of humor. Do not carry...

Sorry I can't help you, but you will probably get a better response if you post this in a "more appropriate" section like " Service, Repair and Maintenance" Vs. "Site News" (y)

Yes sir. (y) I do not actively use the GP on the General Lee when its warm'ish out. (above 65'ish?) My Cummins does not even have the option to use it when it's warm out. I have to turn the key to the "on" position and look at the dash, then computer auto-magically senses the temp and...

True Story: So, there we are about 15 miles offshore,120 miles from home, in Erieau Canada and we are hammering the Walleye. I am sorting through the live well, weighing the fish, and keeping the fattest ones for the tourney weigh in. At one point we had 4 fish on at the same time …..Awesome...

True Story: Circa 1998 I used to fish the amateur “Walleye Circuit” in Canada. Well one weekend, I could not “pre-fish” with my buddy, so I had to get up at O-Dark thirty to meet him in time for the start of the tournament. I get to the border ~0200 and she (customs officer) ask’s me...

I/we fish the Detroit River, Lake St. Clair, the shipping channel and to a lesser extent Lake Erie all the time. If you cross the "invisible border" for any length of time, you can expect a visit from the Canadian authority's. Your pic shows a very small and "easily" patrolled area, so it...

Just clean it off with brake cleaner and looks for leaks. It's worth mentioning: You should not stick your hand in there. High pressure streams of fluid can be dangerous. Stick a piece of cardboard in there if you are unsure. (That way you can see the spray hit the cardboard.) I am sure I...

Maybe the 02's are different, but my 01 has a "sight glass" and yes, it's a PITA to see it clearly. I put some of that JD hydraulic fluid dye in mine. Now its a snap to look and see the fluid level. And just for the record, here is my favorite grappler..... :p

One of the things I find fascinating about tractor ownership, is reading about how others utilize their machines. All the different configurations and use's/expectations/ideas is really cool. For instance @D2Cat lack of fork use is the complete antithesis of my experience. If I had to sell my...

Get a stethoscope and go around touching different parts of the tractor with the tip. You will here it when you find it. (careful of moving parts though) (You can use a long screwdriver too, just put the handle up to your ear and touch the parts with the tip of the screwdriver......you will...

Huh.....That's a pretty good idea. I love the simplicity of it. (y)

If you are "kinda" close to getting the forks then wait and put that money towards them. I would classify my forks as "life altering" in a positive way. They have changed the way I do things forever. But I am a realist too. So if you are a "long way" from saving enough to get the forks, then...
