Their already boxed back to the bed, doing just the rear should be easy. 4 link rear, gonna wheel it?
Negative sir, only boxed to the firewall and a little where each of the crossmembers are for the bed. Zoom in on the picture.
Nope, no wheeling. Just upgrading old technology as I don’t ever want to get rid of my non emissions truck.
Well, unless that bad influence Shawn convinces me to SAS it with a SD Axle…..

I concur, I am in fact a bad influence and readily admit / warn people. Unlike Ken and the gf of his…….

My YW was like $120, hard to say no. I have a cutmaster 42 for general use and could swap.
Great strides on the whole compound build, table is icing and should help with the biz.
Thanks it’s coming slowly.

I bought a Yeswelder pro55 that is supposed to be non HF start, should work with my Arcdroid, about to test.
Dang brand names are so crazy now!
I think that’s the one I got for my table also.
It cut 1/4” like butter.
Time will tell if it was 200 wasted bucks or good enough for me.
Shawn, this looks a lot like the ND’s garage unit I’m building.
It’s actually how I was thinking of modding it to have both ends of the x axis supported.
They clearly copied it to some degree…well there’s really only so many options to build it also.
ND’s? Got a link I’m not familiar?

My number one rule about life I preach to my kids (beyond normal things like follow gods word) is “everyone is a moron until they prove otherwise” so the people who continue to vote for that guy after 40+ years in government even if not morons in most aspects of life are choosing a moronic path by voting for him. My 2 cents & im pretty sure my kids are gunna engrave that dad saying in my tombstone some day as it’s been implied that is their plan.

Hope they last longer than the 37” units on my neighbors mega cab Cummins. At the rate he’s going he may get 15k out of them……

  More wood splitting and stacking. Storage shed is half full for next winters fuel. Although, I’ve not used much of this winters fuel as of yet. We’ve only had 4” of snow this winter and temps have been in 30’s and 40’s daily it seems. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m not sure what happened to 2023 frankly. For us it flew by, most years do it seems. I’m just gunna put my head down and keep pushing forward. The better half and I do that best in fact. What else can you do? Giving up isn’t an option and like most around here it’s not our first rodeo. We will keep preparing to help ourselves and others when the need arises.

Yeah, my youngest thought the gehl could go anywhere being 4x4 (I had a moment or 2) and he got really stuck in soft soil. Took a few attemps, but he got out with the bucket.
Getting a tracked unit stuck take practice, big hole you said?
Think quick sand, muddy water laden new fill. It’s was sketch, had I dropped it in that hole it would have needed large equipment to remove it…..

Long story, but I almost lost a rented tracked skid loader in a big hole once. Was able to use bucket and push myself back away but it was pretty hairy for a good couple minutes. Fortunately, owning one and operating one on construction sites years earlier I was able to save it….

Nice I hauled another 30 yards of pit run today. Backside of shop is almost ready for top layer of 3/4-1” minus crushed.

« on: December 19, 2023, 11:22:57 PM »
Picked this up. I asked the to shot blast in addition to the chemical dip and wash, but they didnt do it.
Still trying to find a reputable shop to double check everything. You wouldn’t think it would be that hard in the 4th largest city in America.
Lots of gas performance shops but they wont touch a diesel.

My local builder does not advertise diesels but he will do them. Closest good shop I know of to you is Denver….. sorry

What batteries are you referencing? Link?
Propane isn’t an issue in the cold. I’ve considered a diesel genset too, with two trucks and a skid loader a gravity fed red fuel tank is already on the list to acquire.

I had that truck in a reg cab short bed in high school, although it was the crappy 2.8L

JR, I’m in a toss up myself.
We have a small portable propane genset 3500 watt maybe? And have looked at the air cooled 26k propane whole house gensets.
I’m on a shared well which is backed up by neighbors genset already. With price of the 26k unit I’ve been wondering if a battery system backup wouldn’t be a better idea / more cost effective?
We don’t pull a ton of juice with well on neighbors system. The grid could keep batteries charged and easily power the place for some time if the grid was down.
Then with the small backup I could charge batteries and even add solar (although winter charge would definitely suffer due to lack of sun).

For the air compressor array?
The big compressor & storage tank will go up on top next to the axle rack. The rest is for misc storage. I need to deck it yet, hoping to maybe do that this Thursday. Hauling more pit run tomorrow, it warmed up yesterday and rain set in. Supposed to rain until Friday or Saturday and turn cold and snow again.

After all these years of snow blowing up over the top of the plow one would think the companies would build them with the deflector installed.
Right! Or offer the rubber cut to bolt on as an option when you buy the plow…..
