Being they are from an 70-80 el dorado front (not a light car) they might be fine for the rear then.

You wouldn't need to run fluid to the caddy caliper once it was pressurized. I believe those pistons don't retract after closing the pad gap. ..they have a threaded ratchet type mechanism and iirc the ebrake lever is adjustable..a splines shaft. Been a while since I dealt with those...same as vette.
I believe that is correct.
True, did them on a 9.5 axle, worked great. Not sure if they are rated for the 8k sub though!

Nice quick fab work. I was almost thinking alum spacer on the stock mount.
Don't drop something on those toes!

Thx guys, unfortunately it will be a few weeks before I get back up. That's ok as I have plenty to do here.

Spent over 2k at the tractor store today, but got a HD box blade. 3/8th wall, boxed 3 point pins and sacrificial ripper teeth. Hydro oil is $103/5gal for the good stuff and $55 for the OK stuff (Kubota=Valvoline), need 15gal. 3 hydro filters, $200. Service was another $800, that just included fuel filter, oil change and grease. SUpposed to fix the horn too (button missing) but not sure if it works yet

Reminds me Ken I need to measure for a thumb. I have lots of rocks!
Was a pricey day at the tractor store. Service $800 for oil change, fuel filter, new horn button and grease!!
$200 for 3 filters and a over a grand for 72in Land Pride HD box blade. Others were 5/16 wall and pin only 3 point. This has 3/8 walls, captured pins with sacrificial rippers.

He could have at least sunk the screw and then patched, jerk. See the mail into my laundry stack in my build?

Nice work. I take it the drip rails now drip vs channeling the water away?

Good looking road there too. So you did you buy or rent?
Hoping my little 45hp does a fair job on my roads, picking it up today.

Is that the HF stud gun you are using? Mine is OK but grabbing the studs is a chore.

Here is a pic from the n/e corner. I drove up to about 100ft from where I want to build (front of truck. You can see the end of the road too (south)
Here is a sorta 3d pic. Plotting out the road, pad and well area. The yellow dash is where I was parked in the above pic.

Beautiful Ken, just came back from stacking mine out a little.

Saw the land pride today, cheap looking like 3/16 sides.
Walked the property and makes some lines.rear is way up the hill, had problems finding it.
Can't find pics on phone

It's getting there, lots of good stuff.
That 80 will be sweet when done.
But afraid, Dana 80=tach topper.

My cell sits right where that new switch is on yours. Doesn't block the view and I can see it fine.
Like the new head unit, thought off and on about doing that in mine. I also have XM and rarely play CDs.
In retro do you wish a 10.5 had found its way to you?

Dang, you must be going pretty close to my place. Was thinking about heading up there tomorrow, looks like weather is coming in too.
To bad about the tires. Never makes for a fun trip.

Gave the ultimate for others.
What more can you add.

Not including jeeps, I scored 550.
Never rolled, never driven topless. I did run over a VW bug off roading once,,,,,,,,,

Can't believe it cost $100 for me to do an oil change today. Changed the trans filter too.
I will add it runs so much better now with the new gearing. Shifts without pulling as hard.
Finally got the speedo reprogrammed too, dead on. With 35s its turning 2k at 70mph. 37s should be perfect. Plus the ABS/brake lights are off now.

I won’t recreate the log splitter drama but the new carb showed up today. It will run this weekend or get blown up

Good life span there. I hear cannon has that issue but sounds like they stepped up.
Just replaced the batteries in my Liberty 72, at least 7-8 years.

County did have free contour maps for both 30ft and 10ft, but the 10ft stops 2 parcels west of my parcel. 30ft (10mt really) is not bad, better than the 100 from USGS.

Good Job  Now you can cook for us all,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Mine is done. Weld on are about $500, but I need to measure the bucket first.
Dang, a once over and an oil change is costing almost $800. Hope they topped off the fluids at least.

Going to stay for the next setup. Gears and labor are handled.

Yep, grate on the bottom, let it breath and easier to clean out.

That is huge Sean, prayers sent!
I think surgery is easier. Seen strong men in tears over some the size of a pin head.
Sorry for your friend Don. Hopefully another path will show up.

You may need 37s sooner than you think. Withs 35s and 4.88s that motor is going to be screaming at 70mph.

Don't know how much area a welded thumb takes up, but if you ever want to use other attachments on the bucket stick make sure you will have room with a welded in place thumb.
Yep, don't want to limit any use of the bucket. Install vids all show spacing it off the bucket.
5634
« on: May 10, 2019, 11:43:10 PM »
Thanks, looking at options and would for sure match it to the bucket.
Don't even think the kabota thumb will work on mine with the QR bucket.
5635
« on: May 10, 2019, 10:57:05 PM »
What do you guys think of a weld on thumb? About 1/2 the price and includes hoses, free shipping.
My stock setup has a quick release bucket which adds to the dedicated thumb cost.
5636
« on: May 10, 2019, 10:46:51 PM »
Might be an option. Got a card from the seller who says there is a local who does that.
5637

Hard to hear, but it is there.

Got the Dmax back from the shop today with the 4.56 gears. Has a whine now in both drive and coast. Setup looks OK, filled with Amsoil.
MPH is way off after a new tune, like 15mph (showing 85 for 70gps). It needs the 37s now, turning 2k at true 70mph.
Darn ABS and brake warning are on with the diff gears. Time for the lift to get on!

Nate I hate you. Last time we were at Sears point Kyle Bush stopped signing autographs as we walked up, then he won. (I don't like kyle, reminds me of stewart)
Kids weren't happy but got Stenhouse Jr's.

I think mine has power down (hst plus). Hopefully the rippers will get the rocks loose and the scrapper do its job.
5641
« on: May 10, 2019, 08:20:22 PM »
Heck, I thought you would be driving.
5642
« on: May 10, 2019, 11:25:52 AM »
Yep, thought about ballast, will need to check. The 45 is considered a large compact
Did a lot of reading last night and many say tractor width minimum and over is OK, even with smaller machines.
I am don't have wet or clay soil either, not by a long shot. Some surface rocks and it looks like granite, great for drilling!
5643
« on: May 09, 2019, 11:49:37 PM »
45hp and 7K, 6ft wide. As wide as the tractor to cover my tracts.
5644
« on: May 09, 2019, 11:03:39 PM »
Yeah, I don't like the clamp on either, that's why I am asking.
Did a bunch of searches and never saw that guy. Why are they all back east meaning high shipping!
5645
« on: May 09, 2019, 08:14:40 PM »
Actually I bet that is a federal DOT rule, tuck or not.
But like I said, who would check. We do want the prerangers safe, right?
5646
« on: May 09, 2019, 08:04:43 PM »
And legal (like it would be checked)

Tractor should be out of the shop next week, just waiting on a horn button (I splurged)
Ordered a 3 point setup from kabota in sparks. I really like them they are giving me quotes with discounts already. They have Landpride box blades in stock. 6ft is $1000.
Been sorta looking for a thumb and forks. Not sure about the clamp on forks, anyone have those? Rather have quick release.
On the thumb. From kabota it is $900 for just the thumb. Sure the kit is double that. Got a quote from Toms Thumbs for about $1600 with hydro or $1000 for a weld up kit (with all pins and clips)I just supply hoses (I like).
Nice thing is the backhoe is setup for a thumb with plumbing and foot controls.

« on: May 09, 2019, 05:41:49 PM »
I believe an emergency bake must be a separate system, line lock doesn't work. Brakes fail, you need to stop you still don't have brakes, most are mech vs hydro.

Napa should have conversion universals in stock. Pretty common really.
On the air bag issue, just add a shut off valve in line? Open and adjust as needed, close and bags are isolated.

Never mind, figured it out. Jeff's a good guy, tell him I said hello. 
I was wondering if you knew him,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
