    Building a pole barn

    Thanks for the suggestions, It’s still not to late for concrete, If using pre formed 10” concrete tubes, what would be more efficient, just install a Simpson strong tie on top of colomn above grade vs. incasing post in concrete down to footer. I already have 4x6x12 pressure treat, 8 total, but...

    B2150 alternator

    You guys are correct, it is the dynamo like the one pictured above, like I said I'm not familiar with this type so I don't know what's normal, it's kind of hard to explain the resistance while spinning but it's kind of like a cam lobe effect, I did pull it apart and bearing looked good along...

I purchased my stihl 039, (which I think...

    Garage setup

    I could only dream of a new shop right now but one thing I would do is install aluminum air compressor piping, a little pricey but easy to install and a. very clean look, added with regulators and an air drier and a hose reel at a overhead door would make a sweet set up.

    L2850 V1702 di > V2203 di conversion

    If Kubota can not come up with one, You should be able to have one cut from new stock if you have the specs on what you need, that saying if the one you was going to have reground didn't turn out.

    Binders and Chains or Ratchet Straps

    always use the basic X pattern when binding your equipment down, and it wont move on you, meaning 1 binder for each corner, the reasoning behind that is if one binder ever comes loose you still have the one on the adjacent corner holding it, also making sure binders or chains are secured to...
