Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Again great points made, and my design is evolving a bit further. At first I planned to make the "trailer" tongue "as long as possible" as i mentioned, to give leverage to the "small" weight of the tractor's back end. Then I decided to intentionally make the tongue out ...

Good and helpful observations from you both. I'll be sure to incorporate some kind of ground-engaging cleats on all four ground pads. Maybe I can get clever like Case did and make flippable outrigger feet, one side with cleats the other with a smooth pad. The other direction I'm thinking is that for...

great minds think alike? Because I'm thinking along similar lines with the 3pt hitch bar. Looking at towable backhoes on youtube, most of them set up for a 4-point stance for digging: the two outriggers at the hoe end and some kind of fixed resting pads at the hitch end. So I'm thinking of that appr...

So... I haven't made any progress since June. It's getting where I don't really recall the full details of precisely what I planned to do. It's not that I think I can't do it. It's that I haven't yet gotten real clarity/comfort on precisely what to do next. So I'm thinking about admitting a measure ...

I couldn't agree more, Keith! Thanks to Eugen especially, but to all others as well!!!!

I'm wishing for a Vevor mag drill with a five-piece set of annular cutters. And seeing as how I ordered it. And it's way too heavy for the wife to wrap it... I kind of have inside information that I might actually get it. 😂 But what I'm really excited about is the presence I've gotten to buy and mak...

When I moved into this house 15 yrs ago, it had a switch in the kitchen that turned on a barn light hanging from a tree down by the road. So years ago I tapped into that line as it runs up the tree and installed an outlet. That way I have a nice power supply for my Christmas lights down by the road....

Thanks Dave. I'll give it a go as soon as soon as I'm back in the vegetable juice business. For now I'm rocking sort of a keto diet, fewer than 20 grams of carbs per day, and that much tomato juice would blow it for me. I've been doing it since mid-July, and I've lost 22 lbs, so I'm about halfway th...

Are we talking about wind and solar now?

Some of you may be like me where I'm experiencing full-on arthritis in my hands. In particular squeezing things really hard causes pain. It's not that I can't do it. It's a question of whether or not I'm willing to pay the price. So right now I'm building an aluminum tool case as a Christmas present...
