The people were selling the windows to make a residence and rental palace out of the church and needed the extra light in the building/rooms for rent. We are blessed to have it and love it. We had been looking and looking for a stained glass window for several years and they are so danged expensive understandably so. We came across this one and the guy actually sawed it out with a reciprocating saw right before we got there i cant believe it survived the vibration/sawing event. We werent aware of the JEWELs and that those are even more valued by people that desire stained glass stuff, at least that is what we were told by some other people that dabble in stained glass. The jewels are less common and usually older stuff had them. It was a blessing we didnt ask for just came across it and were able to purchase it. Its BIG if it were square it would be roughly 4x4. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT Fan Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Painting the old 'White Garage'. Took the power washer to it yesterday, it did a good job removing the old paint but took a lot longer than I anticipated. After working on it for quite awhile my shoulders were getting tired so I got out the D-15 to paint the front rims. Made a good diversion and got most of that project done. Finished up this morning. Trying to get it spruced up a bit before the power show next month. Probably put the 62 plow on it and give that a whirl Saturday or Sunday of the show. Here's a few pics of the garage before and after and one of my rim painting technique. The plan is to paint next Saturday. County fair tractor pull is Sunday. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the 3020 diesel is a nice tractor to drive, in some ways nicer than the IHs of that era. I just don’t want to be the owner . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowrosefarm Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Those look great. I could really use a set like that. What size is the threaded section? Is the nut sitting on a bearing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iowaboy1965 Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 New bearings in a cnc lathe ball screw today. Couple weeks ago one of the overnight guys broke a pallet clamp on a cnc mill. The spec for height variance was just under .0004. Took a couple trys but we ended up at about .0001. I was just the taker aparter and put er back together er. Had a very good guy grinding shims in tool room and an engineer checking the variance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oleman Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Replacing the floor for the rear bathroom with ceramic tile over the concrete slab. Next I have a hot water heater, that produces cold water. Perfect indoor hot weather jobs. Our grapes finally came in, about 1 bushel at the same time! Everything has to be maintained and I am the jack of all trades. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oleman Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Thanks to my C S Osborne #388 official USN paint scraper I was able to easily remove the base boards and vinyl flooring crap. The 388 is a real piece of black smithing, made from 14" x 1" X 1/4" tool steel bar stock with hammer forged widening , cutting and scraping ends. On a ship, this handy tool is used to remove rust and clear out cracks and descale areas that you can't reach with power tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the lift shafts slotted and retained to keep them from rotating or are you relying on the top U shape to stop the rotation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not slotted, the top will stop rotation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stronger800 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 New subfloor will make the finished floor 5/8” taller than it was, and the electrical outlets were already touching the baseboards, so my helper here has been helping me install and re feed new boxes at night. Walls are 1” concrete board (2x 1/2”) from the 60’s, so it’s not quite like cutting sheetrock, -but it Is as dusty 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
