Eh, open station tractors are pretty easy to clutch, even the biguns... if you are set up for it. Most unit frame or partial unit frame tractors can be clutched in a couple hours if you've got a concrete slab or hard packed dirt to do it on, and you don't have to lay on your back and get shit falling in your eyes and ears to do it! But, if you aren't set up for it...
That rear bottle jack looks like it is leaning. Be careful man.My front line tractor (don't fucking laugh, it's the best one my dad left me) would barely pull itself out of the shed the other day. Of course haying season is upon me, and I really need that machine, but it needs a clutch unbeknownst to me until now). So I brought it to my shitty little shop that at least has a concrete floor. It's not flat or level, but it's barely better than dirt and offers some shade.
Well my idea of using an engine hoist on the front half was not gonna work.
So, I had a bottle jack, some scrap 2" square tubing, and these aluminum wheels with bonded rubber tires ( that came from a ski tuning machine I scrapped years ago).
I farmer welded it all together and got it in place, with an old hydraulic jack from a Harbor Freight pipe kinker to hold up the back end.
I have to say, it worked surprisingly well. I can only imagine how well it would work on a good floor.
Thank you. It is indeed leaning because it Chinese and bleeds down. The tractor is stable enough as it is right now, waiting on the machine shop to finish my flywheel.
"Nice" indoor furniture shit is the least useful shit to be welding.
That's like, your opinion man."Nice" indoor furniture shit is the least useful shit to be welding.

he's just an office puke who got his first stick welder a couple years ago after watching too much youtube blowhards
More like short, fat, jealous with acne 12 year old who has to shit on everything!
22 is the new 12.
Looks awesome nice work! I really want to incorporate some metal work into some furniture but those will be personal projects and I’m so backed up with customer work that I don’t have time for personal stuff. I also know that once I do get time and post some of it to my business socials I’ll have people wanting things so I’ll get to do more metal work which will be awesome so I guess I need to find some time!I have no idea how I lived 37 years without welding. So glad I took the time and money to learn it.
Made this for the wife. Didn’t know where else to post, so it’s going here.
To bad he couldnt have taken his new skill and just welded the washer he needed in the hole
I would have probably just drilled some smaller holes instead of using my entire stock of washers
That’s pimp!I posted a few in progress shots of this a while back but here are the finished/installed pics of the solid walnut sink I was commissioned to build.
Before
And after with new fixtures and paint to give this builder grade half bath a little life!
It sits on a floating vanity with a small drawer to stash a few rolls of shit tickets and clean towels. Behind the drawer is the controller box for the touchless faucet. I had to build the draw in a "C" shape to clear the sink drain plumbing.
Yeah it is! The sink is amazing! I like the hidden drawer as well.
Finer grade of sand paper.I need to learn how to grind down welds and not leave a mark. Some of my weld grinds are noticeable on this. But fawk it.
Here’s something that might appease Arse more.
Got tired of laying hoses all around. Had scrap 1x1 and scrap leaf spring parts laying around so used them.
What’s the matter, you too good for an old wheel lag bolted to the wall?
Nice welds are a myth. They only exist on Instagram. The real key to nice work is the grinder
