    Code Enforcement

    TexAndy I think that most people do mind their own business but there is always one as****e in every crowd. I'm lucky that I have enough land with the right topography to satisfy the beauracrats.

    Code Enforcement

    You might be screwed if you park them on a residental lot. I've been turned in for having my backhoe/loader near my house. The town code that I violated was having construction equipment in a residential neighborhood when not being used for an ongoing construction job. The other code violation...

    Coming Attraction - project #6 M43 build

    My resources are limited and can only purchase things that I can use and an ambulance is not one of them. I have much work to do on my M51A2 as well as my loader/backhoe. Next big purchase is probably a material screen plant to seperate the ubiquitious New England stones from gravel and top...

    I believe the town that I live in has one rotting behind a hurricane fence at the town barn. Still has the red cross on it.

    MEP-701A Rivnut Nutsert Tool, Homemade

    Great adaptation. If any want to buy a dedicated tool kit for this application get the Marson Poly Nut™ Kit 39202. I installed an electric winshield wiper kit in my M51A2 last year and used this kit to fasten the motor to the upper windshield frame. The wiper installation kit came with knurled...

    Steam pressure cleaner

    I have a civilian steam cleaner and it works terrific for cleaning up grunge, oil, grease, salt etc etc etc. My steam cleaner is also able to mix grease cutting and cleaning agents into the stream as well. It is a Hotsy. If this one works as well as mine than it is a great addition.

    Magnetic Drill vs Regular drill for Bobbing

    Ohhhhh. That's much easier. Yeah, now these techniques make sense.

    Magnetic Drill vs Regular drill for Bobbing

    Okay, so if you use an annular cutter how can you be sure that you are not cutting into the frame and thereby making a oblong hole? If you use a flat bottom endmill to mill the rivet head off and stop at the frame then you can punch the rest of the rivet out.

    Magnetic Drill vs Regular drill for Bobbing

    I have an issue with some of these methods and that is that there is a potential to cut into the frame making an oblong hole. If you can't get the mag-drill exactly on center you can cut into the frame easily without knowing it. Here would be my method. 1. Set up mag drill as close to center of...

    Magnetic Drill vs Regular drill for Bobbing

    I bought one several years ago to drill holes into my backhoe. Just think of it as a mobile drill press. It requires 110v current and is great for drilling steel I beams as well as any steel plating that you can attach it to. You can also drill & ream holes, tap holes and remove rivets. Mine has...
