The bins are from harbor freight, it's a 20 pack for $15 that comes with mounting rails. I used three of those on this. The rest is 5/8 plywood. I have about $100 in it all together. I built on to the end of a big cabinet. If I had it to do over I would have made it as it's own free standing unit. 1 Quote

I'm tired of the over packed storage containers and coffee cans full of mixed junk. So I built this. I thought it would be a lot bigger than I needed. It is actually filling up a lot faster than I expected. I’ve heard that about shed size, figure out what size you need, then double it! Or was it triple it? Quote

oleman Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 My current project is to get a 42MT starter connected to a Cummins ISC engine in the rear engined RV I have been on for a while now.. 3 EA 12 MM bolts impossible to get to that have to be torqued to 55 FP. Bolts are special 12 MM shank with a 12MM, 12 point head. It requires a small 3/8 drive flex-head 12 MM, 12 point socket, just received, costing me $30. for one socket. Good old PROTO PROFESSIONAL 5275AM 12MM SOCKET MADE IN USA TOOL. Probably lucky to find a decent tool in 2023! A picture of this socked attached. 2 Quote
Gearclash Posted January 26, 2023 Posted January 26, 2023 First picture, doing lathe work on a mill. Work piece doesn’t fit on my lathe really, plus I want to give the rotary table a workout. Second picture, the German horizontal boring mill that I am bringing back to life. Still have some things to do to it yet but hopefully this year it goes back to work and maybe it will help keep some good old IH equipment working also. 11 1 Quote
Blee25 Posted February 1, 2023 Posted February 1, 2023 I spent sometime this past weekend working on my cub again. Had some help form my sons. We put new valves, and rings in it and got it all back together. Unfortunately we now can't get it to fire. We have spark and fuel to the carburetor. I even switched the carb off my sons cub that starts and runs good and still couldn't get any fire, so I am thinking that we have done installed something wrong and aren't getting compression. So I guess next weekend we will have take it back apart. 🤔 4 Quote
DT Fan Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Still sorting. All the while I'm dreaming of going through the range shifter on the 10! Really hope I live long enough to get this done, even if it's the next owner that gets most of the benefit. Not that I'm planning on dying soon just not sure when I'll get to this. Seems like there is always 'something more important'. 2 Quote
TN Hillbilly Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Rebuilding the pickup on this 276 baler. I like pretty much everything about the New Holland better than the Deere baler, BUT the pickup on the Deere is much, much easier to remove. 2 Quote

460 Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Going through my Stihl MS310 saw, it has been on the list for a good cleaning for a while with some new parts. Well last week it moved up the list when I noticed the muffler had come loose and shook itself to pieces. It is getting a new bar, muffler, air filter, clutch and a good wash with hot water/compressed air. Also a good polish too, working on the kitchen table this past cold Saturday while the wife was at work...this summer plan to build a shop so maybe these projects will be done out there! 4 Quote
DT Fan Posted February 6, 2023 Posted February 6, 2023 Put my MS 250 back together today. Maybe it will oil the bar now? I doubt it but I've not got time to fix it now so will have to wait. Didn't want to loose any pieces. Quote

I think I might prefer that. Nothing on this pickup is coming apart easily. I am thinking this might be the first time its been redone? Quote

If you keep working on engines at the kitchen table I have a feeling your wife is going to be very supportive of a new shop this summer 😁 3 Quote

My 269 needs pickup tines and packer fingers, but I rarely do squares anymore so it will probably never get done. This baler came off a horse farm where they did 4-5000 bales a year for 20+ years.

If someone did 1000 bales a year or less, I'd probably leave the pickup alone until a bearing went out. But we have been doing 4000-6000 a year with this thing, and picking up a little more ground this year. So I don't want to risk it going down in the field. Thought about going a buying a new one last year, but from what I hear, they are as unreliable (or more so) than the older ones. So I'll probably keep running this one til I can find a decent 575 or similar. Quote
bitty Posted February 7, 2023 Posted February 7, 2023 Red is done today and now it's reassembly time. Started to put the new wiring harness on it today . Waiting for hood hardware yet 5 Quote

Gearclash Posted February 8, 2023 Posted February 8, 2023 Working on the shop itself while the weather is decent. Replaced some plate, new section of rafter. Then some new sheeting. Then I can get on with insulation inside. 7 Quote

Looks like a new lease on life for an older building. 1 Quote

This building was in rough shape when we bought the place; yes many would have demolished it and started over, but I like to keep the old working if I can, plus it was either work with this or have nothing as the up front cost of new would have been too big to swallow. The frustrating thing is that this building would still be in good shape if it had been cared for earlier in its life. 4 Quote
