Welcome back, Shane, I've missed your creative project posts! Best wishes with your new place, it looks like you've hit the ground running in your new shop!

Good hearing from you, Shane.

When I bought the 2 front blades for the 140's one of them was wore out. I made a new frame several months ago and finally got around to installing it last night. Needs some paint now.

I added hydraulics to make it swivel, got a Danfoss 1500-BG valve from ebay for $30 https://www.ebay.com/itm/300916305392

I saw this 4" pipe laying on the side of the road and after watching it for a couple weeks stopped and picked it up. It was full of smaller pipe. I had no idea what I was going to do with it and it's been sitting in the shop for 6+ months. I drilled some holes in the top of the pipe and screwed it into the high parts of the tin.

I had an idea to make a gutter where I walk into the shop for when it's raining so I won't get as wet. My son ask if he could pour some water on the roof to try it out. It will get a workout the next couple of days.

Nice work Shane.

Side project, transmission problems. Shuttle locked up, I'm assuming from lack of fluid.

The problem was in here, shuttle shifter ring had a burr all the way around and was stuck. Took a dremel with a grinding stone and fixed it.





Got Cole to help me and we started putting it back together.

I’m glad it was an inexpensive fix!

My buddy is too, Kioti dealer told him $6,000 to fix it :shock:

 

[Jeff Silvey]

Ouch if you had to fix it through the dealer. Glad it was simple.
