@@pawsnazzy01 So the is my fabrication shop and I needed to get my skidsteer to the back wall and the tractor was in my way. I didn't dare move it as it was Incase the rim completely failed, dropping the frame to the concrete making a bigger project. I am planning to take this tractor apart over the winter and strip it to powdercoat it piece by piece. the less grease on it the better. Just put alittle on the shaft so it slid through nicely

@@wariat5924 I will get some footage soon! planning to pack it down for snow racing too 😁

@@nhhbbyloggr5022 I fear my shop will permanently smell like old gas now 🙄 gives you a headache after awhile lol

@@Murdermax14 yes the floor is polished a bit, it does still pick up on a rough broomed finish like on my door aprons. however I bet that would wear the bristles down faster. should work good on a regular concrete floor though

@AveryHastings1 thanks for the quick response, I get so tired of blowing my shop out, it just basically spreads the dust around and then settles again. I eventually would like to grind my floors down but I built over a 30x40 concrete pad that was originally meant for outside so we got it brushed. Polished floors are so much nicer to your knees when working on anything lol

@@Murdermax14 Yeah I hear you there, do you use a leaf blower? I picked up some shop fans from HF for the meantime to blow dusty air out but need to install a ventilation fan in the gable end. I feel that grinding a brushed floor would be fairly quick.. you just knocking down the small ^ shape lines even its not all the way

@AveryHastings1 yea I have a battery powered milwaukee leaf blower, that's what I usually do is open all 3 bay doors and I turn on 4 shop fans... best I have right now lol

I wouldn't want a robot, would probably suck something up it wasn't supposed to and also would probably fill up in the first pass and then need me to empty it... so I might as well do it myself with this

I feel like the guide wheels would be more effective on the sides of the unit behind the brushes so it sweeps the floor clean in front of them instead of in the middle where it's brushing the materials

@AveryHastings1 I used those sweepers or whatever you want to call them at a precest concrete plant. So there was always rocks just the right size to stop you dead in your tracks. And of course it always happened when you had a good rhythm going. I'm sure there's a better spot for the caster but I never found it so off it went. Either way they're a great tool and sure beat a shop broom. The electric one we had lasted a day before we ditched it cause it kicked up so much more dust. But this was awhile ago. Hopefully things have improved since then.

to keep the dust down I assume? I would rather not get the bristle wet when they do it builds up heavily on the little flaps on the bin. at least when I nick'd a damp area and little puddle that's what it did

Doesn't work well on wet floors. It just cakes up.

I'll definitely do that, I pam my sawmill tracks that does the same nothing sticks really for a while. I've been typing the bin up like you do. all in all the price was right!

I've been replying a lot but stick with dry lube. Wet grease holds sand and whatnot and eventually acts as an abrasive. Plus, it's a bigger pain to clean.

Oh I know! It's a drawback as much as it's a benefit lol I was thinking of mounting a hand vacuum on the handle to the dust pan cause it does kick up the fine silt a bit when I'm walking faster on the final sweep.

@AveryHastings1 I guess they do make a few with batteries. they're Big $$$, even the Ryobi is $500. . . A small vacuum on the collection portion to keep dust down would be sweet too. Basically a mini street sweeper. Make it take DeWalt or Milwaukee batteries. . .

Maybe drill a hole in the collection bin and put a female vacuum attachment, then you can hang the DeWalt battery vacuum off the handle and have it connected.

That's exactly what I had in mind, someone offered to give me another sweeper they found in a storage unit, so I'll use that one to modify

@@AveryHastings1 post video with the upgrade

just have to swerve the little wheel around the big stuff and it picks it all up!

Cash talks lol I'll have to run out that day and replace it though so he doesn't find out

yes sir but we tried it all at the time lol, in case the fuel pump had a electric shut off valve in it or was still pumping we unhooked all electrical. Did shut the fuel off in the back by the tank, I rewatched the video and I see I'm repeating details lol

It was quite impressive though, there was a couple pin hole rot holes in the bottom of the air intake filter housing, so when I cut off air supply it was able to keep running pulling through those 2 or three tiny holes. we had to hurry and rip intake manifold apart and choke it out there to finally get it to shut off. I did get a call from the new owner a few weeks later he couldn't get it to shut off... he was sideways on a hill and it was running off oil again because the oil level was high enough on that one side. he pulled it down flat and it shut right off

We all know gun safety, and to clarify he did not get in front of anyone shooting. The cannon was discharged and pointed to the sky... that's like telling by the bystanders behind me to not stand in front of me... when I turn around afterwards and put them in front of me lol. Safety of firearms and what not to do was explained by the parents, both ex- military.

@@AveryHastings1 sure thing.

we will have to try that! these were over 3 year old ciders the sort of felt like they was less in it. A few of them landed softly and we got several shots out of them

Haha maybe if they brought it in pieces! I think it will be just right for me but everyone says "you'll always wish you'd built it bigger" This started out at 36x40 then 40x50 and I settled with 50x60

thank you, yeah close to 30 hours lol I purchased the file, just resized it to what I wanted.

Merry Christmas! oh ya!

I'm very pleased with them! Cheap enough to have extras on a shelf

Very busy! Hardly slept a wink the night before I was so stressed but it came out great!

@@AveryHastings1 Making the dream come true. Great feeling. Are you going to start building soon ?

@@nhhbbyloggr5022 Yes Doing anchor bolts and epoxy on Sunday, and standing the back wall first so I can hook up radiant while waiting for the floor to cure another week. Then I should have a telehandler here to set the rest of the steel

@@AveryHastings1 Excellent ! I'll have to swing up some time and see what you've done. Happy for you !!

@@nhhbbyloggr5022 absolutely anytime shoot me a call if you're venturing out this way. I'll get more videos up of the progress hopefully in a more timely fashion lol

Thanks Briar!! They make awesome machines. Happy to finally get some warm weather to test it out in!

Shouda put it reveres wat king ago

@@matthewbarnier4099 should have lol but was stumped on what it was stuck on because it's a clean bottom. All the other ice was broken up small except apparently that one piece it was teetering frame on. I think he had been through it several times prior to this run too

Thank you Padawan, I'd rather hire someone to do it lol

@@AveryHastings1 Haha, don't like to tie the quilt after sewing it?

Thanks Tim! I'll pass that info on to the new owner. I had wondered how it was supposed to do it's job when upside down but the filter came with it when I bought the machine so I just slapped it on

@Midnight Cowboy. The video is poor quality and doesn't show surrounding area or where the work was to be done. The weld was up behind a wall and another wall with about 9" gap to see up 3-4' in there and well out of reach. A ladder would not have helped.
