Ken B 3,116 #27 Posted February 19, 2013 Does anyone have any pics of their tractor with narrow tri ribs on the front? I looked in the gallery and I couldn't find any pics with the narrower ribs. I can't decide if I want to put the narrow 3.50-8's or the wider 4.00-8's on this 633. I think I'm going to put Ag tires on it with tri ribs on the front too help it go a little better back and forth to the wood pile. I also can't remember who sells the correct thumb screws for the hood? I thought I had a set but I think I put them in a safe place. So safe that I can't find them! I hate when that happens.

Fun Engineer 859 #32 Posted February 19, 2013 Great looking tractor Ken. Love the shed interior decor. Don't let my wife see your use of pallets. She wants a new shed made out of them and I'm weaseling for a pole building Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

puddlejumper 67 #36 Posted February 20, 2013 I am not a guru, But the only real concern I would have is that you may have not got high enough above grade with the treated lumber and the bottom of your pallets may succumb to moisture. But I understand you needed pitch on the roof and if you came higher with the treated you would had to modify your pallets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,116 #37 Posted February 20, 2013 My shed isn't made out of pallets, It sits on 8x8's with 2x4 walls and 2x6 floor joists.. The door is part of an old pallet I modified. The inside wood is hand selected pallet boards I removed from pallets. I then nailed the boards to the 2x4 walls. In my case I wanted my shed to look like it has been there for along time with a rustic ambiance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COMMANDO1 23 #38 Posted February 20, 2013 i will be running drainage slotted pipe around it. there is a good slope off to the north. i too will be nailing pallet wood in the inside for that ole look. im going to insulate wrap the inside w/foil reflective insul then pallet wood Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,967 #39 Posted February 20, 2013 Commando, because you do not have a double top plate on the exterior wall you need to put a stud directly under the tail of each rafter. Then where you are framed for the windows, you need to double the top plate and resize the windows accordingly. Also you need to use rafter ties to the top plate since the ceiling is vaulted. Also since the roof is nearly flat and your rafter size appears to be 2x6, to handle what I think the snow load is in your area, I recommend you double every other rafter ( I don't want the roof to collapse ). Also you should use joist hangers where the rafters attach to the band there at the house. Also cross brace the corners using plywood or other method. All this should give you something much better and safer for you and your family and your beloved Wheel Horses. Van Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wheel-N-It 2,967 #41 Posted February 20, 2013 If you have sheeted the whole thing with 1/2" plywood then you dont need to cross brace. The plywood does that for you. Glad you are using ice shield. it is some pretty amazing stuff. I used in on my house last time it was reshingled. Send me some more pics and let me see what you got. You did get a building permit, right??? LOL, just kidding! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
