stronger800 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Puller and a Rider! Nice. How have those Ryobi tools been for you? Would you say they are definitely superior in power to that older style craftsman you have there? My neighbor just bought a Ryobi set this week, and he was able to remove the blades on his lawnmower with the 1/4” driver. And I know those blades were installed to 150 ft/lbs, because I installed them last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the price they are ok we have some Milwaukee ones at work and they are great and have taken a lot of abuse and are still going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stronger800 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I have all Milwaukee fuel stuff here, I agree, I think it’s the best, but it cost enough too. Was considering the Ryobi for around the house to replace the aging craftsman stuff that I keep there now. Wife misplaced one of my craftsman batteries putting desks together in her classroom.

oleman Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I want to build one of those. My initial plans are 2 X 2 angle non-rolled 10 gauge expanded metal and no wood. Sized for small square bales. Also seating for 4, using seats out of the old Gillig City bus. The seats are heavy vandal resistant fiber glass formed buckets complete with a drain hole for the bottom.

oleman Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Today used a corded drill that I purchased in 1967 from Sears. Had to replace the cord 10 years ago but still running on the same power source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one ended up being 6.5’ wide and the bottom it around 40” it worked out good for a cooler and two chairs. The worst part of the ride was once the fog burned off it got to be about 90 in the sun. And couldn’t seem to get the right gear 5 th being almost to fast at an idle but 4th being slow unless the rpm’s were right up there it was a good time though 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
int 504 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 I have centers available from a Farmall 504. I don't know if they would work on your 450. It has 38" wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a set of spin out wheels and centers for this 450 I bought from the previous owner I need to patch the rims. As they were loaded with calcium I bought them for my 450 then ended up buying this 450 that they came off I’d like to sell these 18.5x38 Firestones. I’d like to put it back to stock with maybe some 16.9x38’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
