So comparing a Peloton bike or treadmill or ShopSmith as a coat rack/storage system, which is better?! 🤣

I can be done with less, I just used my 50 year old 1/2" drill.

I also did the same with the PTO shaft while I working on my C-120.

Agreed. But the risk factor for damaging the frame, yourself, and possible misalignment goes up. As I mentioned in the first panel, I too considered this method.....

I already had the tractor disassembled, and the ShopSmith.... so, why not? I'd rather post this in the "Customization & Modifications" section than in "Bumps & Bruises".

You can hide the Peloton in the guest room!

Thanks. Google "ShopSmith" - it is a clever versatile tool. Setup horizontally, it can be a lathe, a horizontal drill, a table saw, or a disc sander. Set up vertically, it is a drill press with a 3 foot throat opening! Later versions modified the tilting saw table to become a small bandsaw too. The three motor speeds as supplied are achieved with stepped pulleys. This application has a larger driven pulley to slow it down... Latest version has a built-in variable speed control. It does a lot, but with compromises... and the components are heavy!

"Big Dollars"?? Maybe not.... this one, although not complete, was FREE - I had to get the Jacobs chuck & key, the 3 quill handles were missing too.

I use it mostly as a vertical drill to touchup small engine valve seats using tapered mounted stones. Works well for that.

My father back in the 60s and early 70s had one. Did a lot of work with that.
