The “coupler” in place, ball hitch mounted near middle of tractor, for ease of steering, combined with a long gooseneck.
Also welded in a vertical square tube for a “fence” to stop logs from slipping forward, it also has the purpose as a mounting point for a future cable-crane.
Is there anybody more than me that hates when this happens? A cut-of disc with lots of “life” left, and there comes me, smooth as a steam-roller, and steps on it…
Hey Cody, how long do those wheels really last? Even if it is only 10x, I wouldn’t have to deal with the diameter getting smaller and trying to get every last mm out of regular abrasive disc. I doubt I could find the diamond disc here though.
I checked Mercado Libre, and there are several sources, but they all order from the States and the starting price is $50. It’s the typical lack of choices here, but then again, I didn’t move here for the shopping experience!
I’ve never tried those. I’m going to pick up a couple. I actually prefer to use cutting disks instead of a torch or even a plasma torch for most stuff. Cuts more precisely and no clean up of the slag and edges afterward.
Dad had a Milwaukee set we used for years.
But we wrecked one of the bits on my build. So he ordered a replacement (2" i believe) and we took the teeth right off of it. So we bought another thinking maybe the first one didnt get tempered properly… same thing. They dont make anythink like they used too.
Needless to say, im interested in a “good set” too.
It is a little early and way to dry, but after work i worked on gassifer for a couple hours then right before sunset hit my favorite moral mushroom spot. Found 14. Kept first one for my self and dropped rest off at my foremans so he can give them to his father who isn’t able to get out anymore. Does anyone else love the hunt for these pesky little pieces of delicious food
Spring has come to our place, I “spend” most of my time at work, but some is left for agriculture and other important activities (gasifier construction, blacksmithing, mechanical work, construction work,…) here are some pictures of a filter with sheep’s wool after 30 hours of operation (I wonder to myself how cleanly it works),
thanks for your foto documentations -always very interesting…i will try also the sheep wool for the fiat tractor, maybee in summer i have time…in future , when someone sees naked sheeps somewhere out of season, there must be someone with tone`s filter system in the area…
i will test also horse hair…
how much nozzle holes have you in your forge? for shorter glow you block some holes with a plug?
The days in Slovenia must be much longer than the ones here. No way you can fit all the stuff you do into a 24 hour day and still go to a regular job unless of course your regular job is mattress tester.
