Thanks Tony, for the cool comment about my son. He's been with the same contractor since he was 17 and that was 21 years ago. But he is used to the fancy new machinery, not my old worn out stuff. Thanks for watching...more to come soon.

Hahahaha...thank you for the smile this morning. I actually HAVE a copy of that book !! I guess it might be a little obvious that I adhere to his principal... (on occasion). LOL I was sad to hear he'd passed away a while back. He was a very humorous writer and got really good on the Allis tractors.

Yessir, my son is a union heavy equipment operator working for the same company since he was 17. That's been 21 years now. He's used to new machinery though and not the old worn out stuff I have. I LOVE to have him on a machine when we are loading logs...so smooth.

Almost....part two will be the rest of the work to move the debris. But I was pretty much the teamster and the camera man for this part of the job. My son's the guy doing all the 'real' work.

Good Morning Gus....it sure sounds like you had a fun project too !! I've never had the chance to use a cabbed tractor at all. But with the yellow jackets I bet you were happy as could be with yours !! I really like the skid steer for quick maneuverability in tight spaces. So much quicker than even an HST loader tractor. Hopefully your butt quit hurting with a little rest.....Hahahaha. Thanks for the entertaining story my friend.

Without a doubt. We ended up pouring over 40 yards of concrete on the project.

Heck yeah. man....whatever it takes !!

That's my son in the skid steer. He's a heavy equipment operator and has been at the same contractor since he was 17. Part 2 coming soon my friend.

Oh i realized it wasnt you lol just happy to suport all yall.. thanks..be on lookout for part 2 !!! ​@tractorman4461

Hahahaha....he's used to running fanciful new machines and not my old worn out stuff. It's hard to tell in the video, but the top soil is all skimmed off and the clay is a bit on the slick side from an overnight rain. A tracked machine would be a bit better here.

We dropped a ton of trees, some big and some not so big. He dug all the stumps with the old Ford 4500 hoe. More to come.

Heck yeah, tons and tons of seat time !!

This was a quick video to help out a buddy in Canada. I didn't know it would be viewed by so many or I'd have made a much better one. Here's one for a Ford 2000 that's a little more comprehensive: ruclips.net/video/PXIh78bDr0U/видео.html and here is the whole playlist, start to finish on the 2000 Ford: ruclips.net/p/PLk72G9DTzZ1uBYT70un1MnWxpiZ8f017c

That happens to all of us from time to time Phillip. I think I have forgotten much more than I've retained to be honest. Old mechanics are just as good as young ones....just a little slower moving. I'm rapidly approaching that myself....heck I MIGHT already be there !! Thanks for the comment. Please do so anytime, my friend.

It can be done basically the same way but to seal it properly it needs to be TiG welded on the corners. You can silicone caulk the corners but eventually it will leak. A TIG machine won't distort the metal while welding. Unfortunately its not an easy thing to do without the proper tools in a home shop.

Randall, I always say if it was hard, I wouldn't be able to do it. Machinery makes a lot of difference. With the stuff you know how to do, I could have you bending tin pretty good in just a few hours !!

Oh...I guess I can recall picking up tin snips at least once before Jeff. LOL. Thanks for the cool comment my friend.

I've found that all a fella needs to do is try to do something and eventually he will muddle through good enough....if he stays with it. Thank you for the really awesome but undeserved comment.

What really helps is making the stand for the front half of the tractor. Most of the time I do this under the overhead I-beam with two chain falls.

Good morning Tom. it looks like your comment got sent into the spam folder. I just found it 6 days after you sent it. LOL. Ya just gotta love computers and their programming !! And here it is another weekend, so I found it just in time to be 'on time'. Have a great weekend yourself my friend.

Good Morning Zane. I've always wanted to do body work. I HAVE, but its only a dabble here and there. But sheet metal is sheet metal, just a variation of materials and application, I guess. Have a great weekend my friend.

When the Missus was pregnant with the youngest daughter, she would start dancing a jig in her tight living quarters every time I'd fire up the electric hammer. It was funny as all get out !!

Hot doggies I do too Tom, but I find it easier to find one to watch if I go to another channel.... But thank you my friend for always the fun comment.

Me too.

Well Gator you know I appreciate comments from guys like you the most !! You're one of them that's 'been there and done that'... Btw, my SIL is about to turn out of his electrical apprentice classes soon.

This one took some trimming with the chainsaw to clear the sawhead. Kinda tough for the first two rolls.

Just another reasonable easy layout. For my sons project. Good to see ya today my friend.

Thanks Tony for another cool comment my friend. I hope all is well with you.

Thanks for watching another one. This one was fairly simple once you draw it out. I appreciate the kind comment too, my friend.

@@tractorman4461…As a former highway construction contractor I understand grades and angles very well. And you explained everything very well making it easy to understand.

Well, once upon a time I was known to bend a piece or two...but only if I couldn't get out of it. LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thank you for the compliment. Hey, if you like sheet metal, here's a sample playlist from up above: ruclips.net/video/wAKLPMRhCOA/видео.html Tons of layout and fabrication vids here, but scroll down about 7 for the good ones.

Hahahaha....don't feel too bad, most people have a problem mastering it !!

How you doing my young friend !! Thank you for an awesome comment. Every day is a new hand dealt to a guy, so you just play it to the best of your ability and the ability slowly will improve....if you keep playing the game. Have a great evening !!

@tractorman4461 that's a great outlook to have . I'm doing good. I hope you are too.

Hahahahaha...its been a while, but I think I can..... If there's a situation where it will benefit the project, I'll do it !! I'll pass on the mitered though. LOL

@tractorman4461 I like to keep it simple. A block end with a round collar cut into it. Offset with an adjustable elbow if needed.

Oh man, I bet I've bent a few miles of drive cleat 8" or 10" at a time Matt !! It's not my favorite, but onsite, ya gotta do what ya gotta do !! I used a 24" one time, but I prefer the 18" like this one.

Good Evening Keith and thank you for the cool comment. I'm beginning to get rusty again though. I don't do much metal any more.

Thanks Rick. This one wasn't too difficult of a layout once you draw it out. It'd be much harder to make it in two pieces though. Wasteful too. Four piece is the only way to go when hand layout is concerned.

Thank you for the supportive comment. Btw, if you want to see more of this kind of stuff consider giving this playlist a shot: ruclips.net/video/wAKLPMRhCOA/видео.html The good ones start down about 6 or 7 though. Oh hey, thanks for watching too !!

Thanks Allen for stopping in for a visit. This one wasn't too much of a challenge..fortunately, I AM getting a few years on me now. LOL

Well, like I always say...if it was hard to do I couldn't do it !! (-; But thank you for the compliment. If you're interested in sheet metal, give this a shot, but scroll down about 7 to get to the good stuff:ruclips.net/video/wAKLPMRhCOA/видео.html. Thanks for watching too !!

Well I'm glad to have been a bit of a help to you. Once you learn to draw your oddities in isometric form the layout really proves to be much easier to complete. At least that's the way I figure it. Btw, have you found the playlists above..? If you're into sheet metal, consider giving this one a looksee: ruclips.net/video/wAKLPMRhCOA/видео.html The good ones start down about 6 or 7 though.

Hahahahaha....cracks me up there. I USED to be a bit more hairy like him, but that's the only comparison I can make. LOL Thanks for the smile and I hope you check out that playlist I gave you. There are others too.

Hahahaha....I don't think I'd go quite that far, but thank you for the awesome vote of confidence. The big trick with ANY rusted/stuck bolt is patience. The candle wax seldom fails me though. Another great concoction is a 50/50 mix of acetone (auto parts store) and ATF. The acetone immediately wicks through the rust and carries along with it the now 'thinned' transmission fluid. A few applications and then an impact first in reverse then forward, then repeat the process. It usually ends up with a good result too.

It's not really a difficult job. If you can find a tiny flexible hose to fit in the fill tube, you may not have to remove the pump like I did. Btw, here's another service video on the same Mustang: ruclips.net/video/e-Qu-W5fNcs/видео.html You may find it interesting.

Aw heck yeah man...good ear !! South of St Louis a little and right off the Mississippi. I've been a K-SHE listener for 45 years or more. When they were in Crestwood in the little box of a building I had to repair their a/c unit one evening and the DJ was talking to me live on air through the window. LOL I don't remember who it was. I also serviced the a/c's at the company that printed all their bumper stickers so I had access to all the 'discards' in the dumpster. Funny stuff.

Thanks for the really cool comment. I AM a grandpa, btw. Here's another service job on the same Mustang: ruclips.net/video/e-Qu-W5fNcs/видео.html Thanks for watching.
