10 pointsSo 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.

7 pointsSold 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.

4 pointsSo 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:

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

-
3 pointshttp://www.harborfreight.com/engine-cleaning-gun-68290.html Actually, I think we can take this project one step farther. 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!
-
3 pointsSomething like this (in Green) might look better and give a little more leverage. Again, not to scale just kinda think'n out loud
-
3 pointsManual 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)
-
3 pointsThat 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.
-
3 pointsI'd have to shoot him if you used any of my horse parts!! Jeez,,, I have to keep an eye on tools the way it is!

3 pointsMike, That Tractor looks nice just the way it is..so, I would Just polish up the original paint as best you can and then add your special decals ....Then call it done

2 pointsNew 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?
-
2 pointsI 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
-
2 points@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.
-
2 pointsit already hinges at top so this would be a real easy fix! should keep him busy for awhile. Thanks for a great idea! Gary

2 pointsHis 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

2 pointsUsing a dual valve off a D series , and another cylinder mounted to the front pivot pin on that blade - a guy could make it dump too... Sarge

2 pointsReally like the bucket , if he does any more work on it please send pictures.

2 pointsI 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.

2 pointsSpent 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.
-
2 pointsWOW! IF HE USES ALL PARTS HE SHOULD ASK TO BE A VENDOR ON THIS SITE AND SELL TO ALL THE JUNKIES...
-
2 pointsThanks for posting the added pics with details of the hooks. Nice, clean and simple design. Talented Kid...Lucky Dad!
-
2 pointsThanks 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.
-
2 pointsThanks 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.

1 pointWith all the talk about snow plows of late and winter on the way I thought I would share a few parts I decided try and make and I think they turned out pretty nice...the adjustable skid shoes for keeping the cutting edge/wear bar up out of gravels or grinding off on asphalt/concrete the factory O.E. are sand blasted black the ones I made still raw steel then painted black on the plow ,and the rear axle quick hitch black factory and raw steel I made the locking keys if you look close enough the pitted one's are original and non pitted I made, Jeff.

1 pointChris, your battery should be a 24R. I just replaced mine last week. Counter guy tried to give me the regular 24 but I caught it before he scanned the numbers. Maybe that "F" is an "R" with the ink missing from the curly part.

-
1 pointI've done some things that a safety minded person might describe as "sketchy" or damn stupid. But I can honestly say that I wouldn't try to use that thing on a dare. Mark.
-
1 pointGarry, If I may, I would add to loosen the set screw in the thrust collar on the upper shaft and tap it up as you push down on the steering wheel, and then tighten the set screw. I suspect wear in the upper bushing and tower parts may allow the gears to jump when turning hard.
-
1 pointThis is a bit of a charging archeology dig, but I do have an answer to this question. Why do 30 amp stators have dual sets of windings? The secondary set of stator windings are wound in an opposite direction to the main winding. When the rectifier / regulator allows controlled current to flow thru the "opposite" secondary winding, the secondary winding "inhibits" the primary windings from producing additional power. So the secondary set of smaller gauge windings control the output from the primary windings. Of course, the rectifier / regulator determines the amount of opposition power in the secondary winding.
