Thanks took 15 min of grinding.

Ill get back to my tractor this weekend. Im thinking of finishing the quick release latches and hood pin, or I might tackle the rear bumper and fenders. What do you guys think?

Shifter time! Fully custom, and designed be me.



Getting the idea?

I either use the .045 dewalt cutting disk or a regular dewalt grinding disk.

More shifter!




Sheet metal work, finally finished. No bondo here!







I got a stronger spring but it didn't fix my belt slippage problem.

Under we go!

your metal skills are very nice

Thanks! I try to make it best I can.

Looking good!

Rebarding the DeWalt .045 cutting wheels, I just bought 50 of them on sale. I find they cut a bit more slowly than the Walter Zipcut disks I usually use, but they last a lot longer. I made 4 cuts through the 1 1/4" trailer spindles I just installed with one disk, and had a lot of it left... Like 4 1/2" of the original 5" diameter.

I was cutting pipe and it grabbed in the cut lol, disk was about done but it completely exploded. Was kinda cool!

Iv had a couple cuttting wheels come apart on befour.
I use dewalt 0.45 cutting wheels and they do last long longer than i expected,

Their great as long as they don't get coughs in the cut lol.

how did you get that good of a weld without burning threw the sheet metal?

Tack the sheet metal in places like in different spots so the previous one can cool down. Then I run a line (not swirling like a bead) really quick from tack to tack, I have the wire speed turned up a bit too
