The under mount blade makes your tractor like a mini motor grader and you can do some nice smooth/level work with them. I only had the cub and used all the time til I got my AC D motorgrader a few years ago.

Great job on that one too! WOW you guys have some great ideas on making these!

Here are pix of the cub blade in the under mount mode. Quite simple and grades as level as a motor grader. The drawbar is in the lowest level and that gets you pushing straight and not at a high angle. Something like this could be done on most any tractor that has enough room for a blade under...

spammers are getting sneaky nowdays. govt. just allows this chit to go un punished! SAD!

I like that idea too! They can be made several different ways and will do the job. If you make your own it can be as heavy or light as you need for the log size you are working. My biggest is 18" and not many of them. Mostly 8 to 14 right now. bigger ones on down the road are possible.

YA!--- them third world apes are smart at illegal crap! guess it beats working!

I can take some pix and post them for you.

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND next year will NEVER come!! Trust me on that! lol! Anyway welcome to the forum and keep up your dreams!

Whats with all these spammers invading the forum???????? I didnt join to be plagued by that crap!!!

I learned stick at the age of 16,---never had wirt in my hands til last year! Got an old Century 200 and no gas with it so I tried flux wire. Welds great on clean metal just makes a nasty lookin area! I was told that is natural that the flux is like slag. All I know is that you have to match...

Had to make new tabs for my skidloader fork plate. Ripped the old ones off diggin sweet potatoes! (big tater got it! ya, right! LOL) anyway they were needing rebuilt a long time ago, (30 years to be exact!) but I got them done now and heavier than before! First pic they are just tack welded to...

Glad you posted that idea cause I need to make one of them myself! lol! Turnin even small logs on my sawmill is a bear at times!

Great job on your blade! --NOW if ya want to step it up a notch, ---- you could add gauge wheels IF you needed them. Guess I got lucky on my blade,---it came under an AC model D machine! I had a big hoggin fourty-five AC but it got stolen so I had to look for something else and this little D is...

The Farmall cub blade mounted either under Or out front. You might look at that as an idea,--its quite simple really! I have my cub blade under the tractor right now.

Welcome to the forum.

IF you can find a phone #,-- that is the only to actually find out anything now days! Not many companys pay any attention to e-mail/text or other methods, but usually answer the phone!

I have a lot of popping with my big torch, ( ws acty. tank and biggest oxy tank Lindie made) and if you try to blow a hole it will do that and is normal but annoying and dangerous to say the least. normal cutting if you get ahead of the melted area it will blow too so its mostly a matter of...

guess I missed that one LOL!

Sthil 88 chainsaw for $89. is another of the thousands of ads out there!

a lot of this has been going on lately. --- just more crap that makes it harder to use the internet.

You wont stick the rods much after you weld a bit with them. My favorite welder is the Linc. 225 ac jobber----bought it new in 1984 -- still using it today.

used wd-40 on my 3-wheeler one time --- first rain and plastic was grey again!

Mine is a 200 pounder --- VERY old one. --- has a deafning ring when you hit it. dont have any dings on it from use either, so dont know what its made from but in its time, must have cost a fortune! I have beat on it for 65 years and it still kooks great. as for the hf stuff----its not even in...

neighbor uses some sort of foamy stuff ---- dont do any good that I can see!

cant get to mine to take a pic of it, but its a 30 x 48 sheet of 1/4" diamond plate stuff with triple wall pipe for legs. also bolted a big vise to one end of it and used it for many years. right now its in a moving trailer that didnt get moved yet!

below zero here this week so no more work on anything ----- still trying to find a reverse idler shaft for the case 310-g crawler loader I have torn down in neighbors shop. Cant work on the case 1530 skidloader til it warms up. ---it blew a head and is outside right now. Did put new valve...

nut splitters are a waste of money-----they wont fit in the places you need to get a nut off of. ----- most of the ones I have to deal with are hard to even get the torch on them! As for torch size, I use linde ws acty. tank and the biggest oxy. tank they have to go with it. Torch is standard...

Ya! -- I have a jar of it and do use it on most bolts/nuts I mess with. Saves a LOT of headaches later on. I never plan on taking this 310 apart again, ---BUT they are notorius for breaking reverse idler gear needle bearings so I want the nuts and bolts like zippers on this one!

I see this stuff as a rip-off! --- might as well dump Elmer's glue on it. Probably hold just as good. If it dont penetrate----it cant hold.

any nut that is where you can get a big ole oxy/acy torch at will come loose. Had several on my Case 310 crawler final drive cases that had to be heated red hot TWICE before they came off! ---- will put new nuts back on when it goes back together. studs are fine, so just need new nuts!

wd-40 has always been a joke!

Hobart or Lincoln here -----dont waste money on off brands

a friend of mine makes this and that just for the heck of it ----- I never could bring myself to do it! lol! --- bout gotta have a motor or tracks on it before I can get interested in it! Looks like you do great work!

I did have an old 200 amp engine drive that also had a 15 hp electric motor wound inside and was 440-3- phase . we ran it with direct connected 39 chevy 216 truck engine ans transmission with a governor from an Oliver 70 tractor. Welded for many years with it.

I have a couple old ones myself---the old iron has better qualities than the new stuff you buy nowdays!

Welcome! --- I have welded since I was 16 and am by no means a pro but never had anything break that I ever welded, Dont matter what the welds look like as long as they hold! lol!

Still need to make a steering handle and linkage for my power buggy, --- things hit the skids when garden time came! --- haul water to garden every day for 6 weeks, now that rain came mow every 2 or 3 days, also now busy harvesting the garden and putting up our winter goodies so time is at a...

Not bad price for all four! ---look great and should do the job. Here in IL. they dont allow atv's on any road or street,--course that dont stop people from doing it anyway!

a little imperial will also work but the peanut butter really is the best. --- this time of the year mice and voles are starting the move to winter quarters---- we have them here right after fall harvest and fight them the rest of the winter. Keep traps out all the time for best results, that...

What do you expect from third world terrorists? ---certainly NOT quality products! ----More than likely underage slaves doing the welding in their factories!

The century 200 is a heavy 220 volt welder. ---- No stick is NOT used for welding in todays manufacturing ------ tHAT is why the welds break and I have to re-weld them.

stick is quicker for me, less mess, I still have not mastered the wire process to use it on important stuff, just mess with odds and ends with it for now. I dont want somebodys tractor hitch to break off after I have just welded it on so til I can get the wire thingy figured out, I use stick...

I only use .035 in my Century 200. ----works o.k. for what little I use it ----99.9% of my welding requires the stick welder, but I still "play" with the wire jobber----its something different.

My Lincolns came with 15 foot grounds and 20 foot rod holder cables. ---- I made up some extensions for them to use on the "now-and-then" use. also found I could make up a 49 foot power cord to plug the welder itself into. All of this gets me anywhere in the immediate area to weld on anything...

It can produce current and weld,---- BUT have major problems in the circuit , so without some info on why you think its not working no-one knows what is wrong.

Nickle rod will hold if you prepare the part right both before welding and after. 6011 won't work at all.--- that's for steel not cast iron.

That chimna crap wont work at all!---I use Hobart wire in my old Century and it welds good,---even outside where 99% of my welding is done.

Looks like that should hold now!

this shows how to wire a unit to make ac welder into a dc unit. --- I have NO idea if it would actually work, but enjoy the vid at the link above.

Not sure about modifying one but You need rods that are for use with dc. Some rods are ac only!--some work for either.

Spindle speeds on mine range from 170 in low to 3,600 in 16'th gear. --- I only use the first gear 170 for all of my drilling,--bits stay cooler and less breakage. I think it's a Central machinery brand,--probably the same thing HF sells now. I bought 5 items from this guy back in the early...

I made this trailer to use in the garden and around the farm. The axle is from a pop-up camper and I cut a section from the center and welded it back together. For the bed frame I used 1"x1" square tubing. The sides and floor are extra heavy tin from a commercial hi-slide. During the...

I bolted a 6" cross slide vise on mine and that comes in very handy for my use.

YUP!!! round, rotates and tilts, goes up and down with hand crank on back after you loosen the lock handle.I bought this one back in the early 70's or so.

Mine is some off brand that I bought from one of them traveling scalpers!---- its a floor type 16 speed and 1 hp motor that can run on either 110 or 220. --- it has plenty of power for heavy drilling.

Bigger diameter pulls easier too.

Looks great! --I did one with a large 80 gallon 4.5 foot tall and almost 3 foot diameter a long time ago. Made it water tight and stood it on end to fill, took one heavy garden tractor to pull it and would crush the edges off concrete sidewalks so you had to stay away from them. It did mash the...

No REAL best,--It all depends on what you want to weld, how much you want to weld, how fancy of equipment you want to buy, what type welding do you want to concentrate on,--stick, ( the best) or wire, or, gas. all take different equipment and way different skill levels to master, with wire being...

Looks like a factory unit! --- great job on it!

On the old snowplow trucks we ran for the township had the electric/hyd. units on them and we ended up having to put 100 amp alts. and extra batteries on the trucks to handle the draw. ---standard 35 amps. didn't cut it. Worked fine if you didnt have to use it a great lot, but cleaning corners...

May take a little tweek here and there but the main thing is that it works!

I have a preview button, also can see 3 or 4 complete replies at a time. looks same as TBN to me, post the same way etc.

Engine is vertical crank model so hyd pump mounting is out and besides that would only add more empty weight with pump/res./cylinders/etc. that I don't need in the gardens where this unit will be used. Manual dump works fine for my use. going with the walk beside operation too. It was suggested...

. This is part of the sub-frame for the beds This is the 2 beds with the rest of the sub-frames The box bed mounted dump angle for the box. and the front view.----never mind the leftovers in the background ! LOL!! almost got the clutch lever hooked up and now for the steering lever.

I used to do a little, BUT arc welder came along and I never looked back! ----probably still could do gas weld but takes more time than I have to do it.

I used to have a 200 amp Hobart that had a 15 horse electric motor wound inside but was 440 volt. --Hobart offered a stub shaft to power it with an engine so Dad hooked it direct to the transmission of a 39 Chevy truck cutoff he had at the time. The engine was the 216 and it worked good.

That should take them a while to destroy!! LOL!! YA I had goats at one time LOL!! Great lookin feeder!

It should work with small engine since you are not running flat out in tall grass! ----- going up and back on the bank ---- the little engine will be fine.

Great job, It will be handy around the yard. ---simple build and beats trying to push a wheelbarrow! I had considered making a loader for one of my sunstars, BUT ended up with 4 skidloaders and 3 backhoes, so that took the little loader idea out! ---NEVER know what you will run into!

Both beds dump high so nothing sticks in them. I designed it as a walk beside unit because that is what I need to get around where the skidloaders cant go. Seat could be added but would be in my way, platform along one side to stand on might be easier to make and not in the way,---jury still...

Started on this in feb, not quite done yet. Sposed to be a "power barrow" of sorts, also have regular square bed for it.

Looks great so far---carry on!!

P.M. from Muhammed over on TBN, so here I am.

Takes a lot of practice to get going, but never give up and it will come around for you. ---Be flexible while learning because you might have to refine the methods that someone says works!---It may not work for you,--so try something different to find your groove! ---Main thing is to get comfy...

Lincolin 225 ac and Weldanpower portable welding and emergency power.

It's personal preference for the most part. I have always been a stick guy but recently was given a Century 200 wire jobber and wire is the hardest stuff to weld with! ----Can't weld dirty iron, can't do this cantdo that!---WTF!!--grab stick and weld! lol!! ----I can do o.k. with the 200 now but...

I am here!! ---is anybody else?
