Back In The Shop......Now What's On Your Bench????

Couldn't help it. Had to tear into the 288 a bit. The piston was conspicuously clean and the cylinder looked pretty good too.

I got a kit from Eastwood Co. years ago.
I just use a old oven for baking the parts. It's slow because I can only do one piece at a time.
But it's fine for me as I'm just doing it for myself.

I need to investigate powder coating.

That looks like it should be a good runner.

Thanks, Brian

So I was in the shop and needed to sort out some big boxes of chain and master links I got a couple weeks ago...

After sorting through them, I found some BIG master links. Stuff that was definitely bigger than 404. Some seems to spec out to 1/2", some bigger than 1/2 and some between 404 & 1/2".

My question becomes does anyone know someone that might need these? Seems like I knew 3-4 guys looking for chain master links in these sizes but can't remember who. I will say some are a little rusty b/c they were sitting on the floor of a shop. Still pretty useable though I think.

Welded up the tensioner arm on the rear of the Kubota today. If you can see that???

The new looking bolts in pic above, are new! Bolts were MIA when I got it from PO since they took the roll bar off to fit in garage. So the roll bar is back on and now it won't fit in my garage either! It fits in the shop, but I plan to chop the roll bar and make it a foldable rops anyhow. Will also add tabs for LED flood lights too. Dang old incandescent head lights are behind bucket and dim at best... [emoji19]

Now i see why the new ones i was looking at have folding roll bars ,never thought of home garage door ,how many horsepower is that model ,and does it use cat 1 attachments ?I am learning on tractors ,have a small kubota ,but would like a larger one some day .but be able to use same attachments .

You didn't wipe out the banana orchard did you? I'm guessin' it's fun to knock stuff over no matter how rough the ride.

We pulled logs out with it yesterday. But knocking **** down is fun too.

That's cool as a mfer.

My rops will become foldable with LED lighting pretty soon... The one thing I don't get is that they split this one in the center on the top. Why not split the sides and make them foldable originally?? The only reason I need to get into the house garage is to drop pallets of firewood off, otherwise I wouldn't care.

The L2900 is 32hp and 25hp at PTO I think? It's the perfect size for our 12.5 acres. I would have gone smaller but my wood racks hold 2/3-3/4 cord. The only reason we got this one is b/c I found it cheap with 3pt attachments. Had to about fist fight another CL guy for it but I beat him to it.

I think scallywag was looking for 1/2 straps.

I need 7/16 tie straps.

Is that what those big honkers are??? LOL... I think I have some for you Randy.

You have to tell and show us what you're using them for!

I got 100' of 3/4 decent Windsor 404 058 semi chisel full comp chain too. If anyone has a need I'll never use that much... Yes I do actually run that chain on a 7900. You want to talk all day long chain without sharpening. This is it!

I said 3/4 decent b/c there are spots of frozen links from moisture. The really bad spot I cut off and tossed on the scrap metal pile.

Honestly I think word will get around that I have these. Not hunting all the leads down to sell small items. Too much work... [emoji4]

The 7/16 ones are the ones that are between 404 and 1/2".

Now that I'm not being a smartass, TLandrum pointed me to a source in Tennessee earlier this year that should have some.

I don't remember the company.
