Front Mount Ceiling Fan (another tractor hanging)

Recommended Posts

Pullstart

This is kind of the reason I started hanging tractors in the first place.  I wanted to have a ceiling fan, but each project turned into a not so convenient spot to have it, or to hang it.

 

I started by wheeling this 1076 frame up from the boneyard, thinking it would be nice to hang from the F plate and build a tach-a-matic mount for the fan.  Doing some round about measuring, I realized I would be operating around 8’ off the ground with the final product, which should work ok.

Then, I thought about a shorter frame, then I remembered this clapped out one I had from a bundle buy where a seller just started adding more and more stuff to my truck.  It had been chopped, drilled, welded, and modified for another engine.  Every movable part on the frame was rusted up tight!

A little bit of prep work and my yard art stash was ready to be hung!

This is a C series F plate.  I drilled some holes in the angle iron and it was prepped to go into the attic for a secure mount.  I drilled the holes needed, and dropped some bolts down through the ceiling.

Now time for the safety folks to look away.


I had to get creative, and it was a bit wobbly at times but I trusted my balance.  Enough said.

Nope, I’ve never questioned the cost of me!  I do know, with the life insurance policy on me, I’m worth more under the dirt than above it!

Sometimes you must improvise to meet the desired goal, great job! Incidents happen, last week while adjusting my disc harrow on my 414-8 the disc dropped a little and it took 5 stitches to close up the top of my trigger finger on my right hand. If you do stuff, stuff happens. Glad you got it mounted,  a great idea.

Great way to put that.

 

Go sit down and don't get hurt. But I'm not sitting down.

 

BBT got to counting up how many times she's broken a bone over the years. I think it was 17 or 19? You couldn't get her to set if you had duct tape and the best rope.

Surprisingly, I think I’ve only ever broken one bone… a finger in wood shop in high school.  I’ve fractured more since then, but only one break.  I guess I still bounce well!

I thought about that, I did.  It’s not too late, but it’s been sitting in the shop like that for close to a year or better.

  • I like the hanging tractas even because i knew there will follow more.

Call it intuition or however you want....

 

The Strictly OSHA Conform Ladder use is spectacular.🥳🤪😎

 

Could imagine you be next time invited for an Article in an OSHA Magazin  at - „prevent this“ 😂

That ladder set up looks as solid as a rock,  I've definitely climbed less stable rigs when decorating. 

If it were me, I'd grab a can of black paint and do a big ole jagged hole shape on the ceiling around the hood. Make it look like the machine had broke through from the loft.
