    So I got tired of the wife complaining about the lack of TP in the bathroom so I took it upon myself to make something that will help alleviate the issue. She didn't even complain about the fact that it is pipe fittings.

    Sold one of of my green lawn tractors and had enough left over after buying a model train I wanted, that I went out and bought this nice Commando 8, fully loaded with lights, cig lighter, nice rear discharge mower deck(not shown), original WH marked tires and a working slot hitch. He has the moldboard plow for it and he set it aside and I will pick it up once I have some more funds in my wallet. Its been awhile since I had a WH in the stable. I want to do some special autism touches to it. The paint and decals are super nice, except for the top of the hood and fender pan. I hate to loose the original decals and nice dealer decals in a full repaint. Thinking of having a decal made to cover the top of the hood in the autism rainbow jigsaw colors with "Autism Acceptance" in either yellow or white lettering in the middle of the top of the hood.

    So this project has been going on since before Christmas... Room before: Been doing some construction inside the house... The basement bedrooms have these stupid corner closets that don't hold anything useful. Like two coats a pair of bibs and a pair of boots and the closet is full. Useless. Plus they had this stupid drywall mud texture. I'm told its super expensive to have done but I'm not a fan and neither is my wife. Talked with the people across the street that built that house and decided that putting the room back to how it was designed to be was the best approach so that's what I did with the help of a bunch of people along the way.So in preparation of things with an estimated arrival date of May, the old closet was ripped out and a new one was constructed like this: Click this bar to view the full image. Even my wife got involved in some demo...more like just for one photo...I scraped all of the walls and most of the floor of all the old texture and glue with a 4" scraper blade. Spent way too many hours doing that, but the end result was worth it. Still have part of the floor to do.In progress: Click this bar to view the full image. Click this bar to view the full image. Had some supervisors stop by to inspect work: Click this bar to view the full image. Click this bar to view the full image. How the room sits now: Click this bar to view the full image. Installed pine paneling on the ceiling (just like the rest of the house), new dim-able LED light fixture, added closet with light, fixed the walls/painted them and my wife added the stenciled birch trees on the wall. My friend installs carpet for a living stopped by and put the new carpet down for me last week.Since carpet went down, trim was up next. Click this bar to view the full image. Decided that the new trim made the door look even worse then it we realized. Hit up Menards for some 11% rebate and picked up a 6 panel solid core door. Got that stained and installed.Alex should be picking up the dresser for the closet so I can get started on building the closet organizer. Click this bar to view the full image. Yes, that's to scale with 1 block being 4"Cat Tax:

    You bet, Hobbes (the cat) did the majority of the work. He's pretty good with an air nailer and miter saw

    Other than the young lady swinging the hammer, I'm assuming this guy did the rest of the work? That's a lot of work. Been there. Looks like you did a fine job.

Add shop air to that pipe manifold and then you can add this Just think of it as a water pic for the nether region. ------OR------- Who needs a bidet when you have one of these? Thanks Harbor Freight!

    Something like this (in Green) might look better and give a little more leverage. Again, not to scale just kinda think'n out loud

    Manual dump. Hinge the top, weld a lever to the side of bucket, pull with rope. It will separate at the bottom and dump out of the middle. (Drawing not to scale. Probably needs longer lever)

    That is really neat!! How many trips to the hardware store? That would have been at least 2 for me...or maybe 2 hardware stores, because they only had 1 end cap in stock.

    New to Wheel Horse. Picked up a 1975 D160 with 54 hours in excellent shape and I am looking for a 3 Point PTO tiller and a 5-0901 mower. Any thoughts?

    I was looking for my Pawpaws GT-14's I know it's a long shot but they were sold at his estate sale back in 2011 in North Carolina after he passed. I've shown a picture of what they looked like, they're probably restored. Like I said, it's probably nearly impossible to find them but hey I tried

    @hermitmanand @wallfish I saw something similar in a article some time a ago . Of course now I can't find it. If I find it I will post a copy. Hermitman your son's creation is a lot nicer. How did he curved sides and what gauge metal did he use. I bet you could sell some at the BIg Show.

    His buddy has a transmission shop. Steady flow of materials! Daisy dukes was a complete fluke. I was going to do marine vinyl but was too expensive then it hit me! Dump idea is excellent idea but then pump would be needed correct? Thanks everyone for input! Gary and Aaron

    I think what Jim's getting at here is that you need to be really careful around those nests, especially when cleaning them out. The droppings and urine can be dangerous/toxic/sickening, and to be completely safe you should probably wear disposable gloves. I can't say that I do, but at the very least you don't want to touch that stuff with your bare hands. I know somebody here on RedSquare posted some more specific information a while back about what's in these nests and how to safely remove and dispose of them. If anybody can find it and post a link, I know I'd personally appreciate it.

    Spent some more time cleaning and organizing tonight. Moving everything out when I get ready to run electricity and finish is gonna be a chore. Maybe someday I'll have a nice shop but for now this portable building should work OK.

    Thanks Richard, I have a saved craigslist search for a big swath of Wa/Or. I waited about a about a week and a half after this was posted and was the only one who's talked to him. He pulled the add when I went to look. He is the second owner, and has owned it for 16 years, and knows exactly what he has. It's only for sale because he is in the process of moving from a sizable rural home to a smaller city lot. So after here we are: Who Doesn't like a little propaganda? Manuals for everything but the tiller.

    Thanks and I'm all for criticism. Helps get better ideas floating around. I know there will be weak links here and there. I do agree that those probly will be the first. There isn't any bushings though. Those are thick wall machinist sleeves with 3/4" solid round going through them. They will be getting grease fittings.

    Right you were. Found several issues while having it up in the air. The belt was rubbing against the other fuse blocks wires and had rubbed down to the wire, relocated that one and taped it up. Rodent delecti has been up in there sharpening his teeth as well. Fixed three or four chews and disconnected the clutch disconnect while I was in there. Replaced all the fuel line and since I had it up, decided to replace the leaking axle seals and input shaft seal. I was delighted with the removal of the hubs (I may never get a chance to say that again!). A little effort, but nothing like the pain the C-160 was. The axles cleaned up nice. Will try to put the new seals on tomorrow and then tackle the input shaft seal.

    I bought one of those HF $99 on sale welders. Took it back after one use as it was apparent it didn't have enough power. I was wavering between the 140 and 180 Lincoln you just got, and went with the 140 to avoid running 220v. A month later I bought a plasma cutter and had to run the 220v line anyway, LOL. I wish I had gone for the 180 now. The 140 is a nice machine, but I can only do 3/16" in a single pass. For 1/4" they recommend multiple passes. Do yourself a favor, get a tank of argon (or argon/Co2 mix), I hate flux core. I think you will be happy with the 180. I built my front end loader with the 140, and it worked hard this summer with no broken welds.

    I got the inside of the transmission cleaned up, and the case cleaned and primed. Then I cleaned up the frame and found the "dreaded" transmission mount cracks. I have seen some of the ways people have fixed it, but decided not to go to the extremes and only used 2x2 14 ga angle to reinforce the corners after grinding and welding the cracks.

    I'll let you all know, I used 1/4" wall 3"x8" rectangular tubing and cut to dimensions on a band saw then heated them with a torch while in a vice and bent them to the angle as close factory as I could get them then drilled 4 3/8" holes and finished the slots up in a milling machine,Jeff. Oh and I had the quick hitches powder coated (ruby red) here's pic ...

    It's been my understanding that the rectifier with the 3 straight posts is for a 10 amp stator. Original on the GT14. The rectifier with the 1 over 2 post setup is a 15 amp model.
