Nice tutorial. A fellow motor pool Marine showed me that reverse blade trick back in the 1970's. I have since shown it to many impressed friends. Nice video recording & editing as well.
I see that this was posted 3 years ago. Are you still happy with it? We have alpacas that have chosen their small paddock area to be their toilet. We have terrible clay here in Michigan and drainage is horrible. Im using pine pellets to jelp soak up urine. Will this work for such an area?
@@debbiedegayner3312 Hi - We love our dry paddocks - our soil base is red clay also - the 1st couple of inches of manufactured sand will compact into the clay to make a hard base - the 3 or so inches of sand above that will stay relatively loose - drainage is the key so that heavy rains don’t wash away the top layer of sand
@ClearCreekCabinMiniFarm so do you have extra drainage? Or is the 2 inch base above the clay where the water drains through. Our main issue is they pee there and the urine just kind of sits on top. With your setup would it then drain down the to 2"base and clay?
@@debbiedegayner3312 Our donkeys do the same - they have a favorite spot they pee in - it drains down into below but we still periodically dig up the spot & refill it with sand & soil to control the smell. As far as drainage - you must insure that surface rain water doesn’t erode the sand if you are on any kind of slope - otherwise the sand will be washed off the surface - we dug drainage ditches above the paddocks to divert surface water away - But then again, we live in the hills of Tennessee 😊
My Makita BO4510 needs a new rubber pad. It's rusted a bit and I can't open it to remove the sandpaper. It's soaking in penetrating oil and I hope to replace the pad like you have. Thanks for posting.
Excellent video. Down to earth,friendly ,honest and informative. Im in the UK and ive made my own offset smoker and a Argentina grill , both of which bring myself family and friends endless fun and food but i was at a second hand store today and found a nice original weber for the equivalent of 26 US Dollars. It needs a clean and a new ruggler and thats why im here learning how to replace it. Im planning to build a new sturdy frame to suit my needs and replace the wheels with some lawn mower wheels to match the planned beefy frame........we'll see. Subscribed 😊
I bought the vented cap from Green Parts Store - It was right around $100 - I hand tighten the new one and I kept the original one to use for a more accurate oil level reading
Man??? I knew absolutly NOTHING. . .& I mean NOTHING. . . .about these 2 bottom wheel gearbox drain plugs nor did I know ANTHTHING about the 2 little 4 MM Allen screws on top of these 2 wheel gear boxes😲😲😲🤦🤦🤦! Only the drain plug in the center of the axle! Nobody has even mentioned them in any videos nor did John Deere when I bought the tractor back in summer of 2017!!! I'll have to remember these "4 points" the next time I'm performing a "service change"! I've also found out that my left side steer axle wheel gear box is leaking fluid from the top steering knuckle seal. GREAT. . . .😡😡😡!!! Thanks for sharing your video, bud & thanks for the head up👍🏻
@@truckerray7533 Yup - next time you’ll get a complete drain of old fluid when you change it out - Just be sure to check the level after driving it a bit to insure all the air has purged & you have the correct amount of HF in the gear box - Sorry to hear about your leak - BTW mine is a 2019 so I assume everything is the same as a 2017 - you may want to get a vented dipstick - I hear the leaks are cause by pressure build up - see the video link below 👍✅ ru-vid.comhIOG9w0YuQQ?si=W6Razqp5Q7zzvK8P
Thankya sir for the reply back! Yeah I've always checked the level after a bit from the axle service, just didn't know bout the other "4 points"! I don't recall when the next "series" of our 1025's were . . . .i'ld have to look it up! I've got 1239.7 hours on my little one! They say a guy will put on an average of 200 hrs on their johnys
yeah, I've probly got that or better in hoe work myself! Done alot if digging! I've mowed quite a bit, done alot of loader work, leveling/ gradeing, digging with the hoe, plowing snow! My little one sure has come in handy & I didn't buy it to look at, lol😅! Definately been getting my share of tractor theropy! Haven't been on it much this year though! My uncle has borrowed it off n on & put probly 1/3 of those hours on!
@@pathfinderwellcare I probably should have said “Lush Pasture” - Donkeys are desert animals & have very efficient digestive systems. So, rich foods, feeds or grasses can make them gain weight very easily. Short stints on sparse pasture is okay - It’s all about “Management” ❤️
Any chance you remember the bolts you used to attach the shroud to the gear box that holds the legs on it? Ours came with none. I haven’t figured out how to attach the shroud that holds the legs.
So I live in grass Valley, California, and we have what’s called red clay here I’m building a dry paddock for my Arab because they were in the red clay last year which was horrible. I was going to put down the weed black fabric first and then the sand is that a good idea or can I just put it over the red clay? I’m afraid the clay will start coming through.
@@user-mt4gf4dm8p We also have the red clay here in East Tennessee. The key is drainage… As long as there is no ponding issues the manufactured sand will hold up being put directly on the clay. That’s what we did. It will slowly compact down into the clay over time. We’re on year 4 of building the paddock & it could use a light top dressing again at this point 👍
@@user-mt4gf4dm8p At the time it was $40 per ton - there is about .75 cubic yards per ton which roughly equates to 81 square feet of coverage @ 3” thick or about 50 cents per square foot at 3” thick (if my math is correct)
Hi. I just took delivery of a 4215 brush crusher kit?! I was wondering how to assemble it myself and whether I should start with the brackets on the loader arms. I thought I would search RU-vid and found your page where you did exactly what I was thinking about. Thank you. I like your channel and have Subscribed. Be well
you will have to try this method to believe it, but it works. cut a notch at you desired length, then stand on the waste side and grip the sheet and rip it apart! It will be within a 1/4 " of square. My granddaugther was able to do it easily.
I just checked my 2019 (Date code KK) 1025R and it matches what CCCMR has on his tractor--not the one that breaks. So the statement "2017-2022" must be a generalization. I also called my local JD dealer, gave them my tractor's full PIN and they confirmed that mine is safe to operate and is not affected.
@@petertayler1712 OMG - They do - It’s really hard to keep the weight off of them & we don’t give them a lot of treats - Maybe it’s too many hugs & kisses 🙃
Yes, there are several metal cutting blades that work better. And I've used them before. I just didn't have one on hand at the time, so I did the cuts using this old "Contractor's Trick" that I learned years ago👍
Are you talking about flipping a blade designed for cutting wood and using it on metal? I've tried that with variable results - it's much more effective to simply fit a blade for cutting metal. And I suspect it's safer too.
@@welshhomestead Yup, a regular old 40 tooth crosscut blade in backwards - A metal cutting blade is cleaner but if you’ve only got 1 or 2 cuts to do and don’t want to spend $40 on a metal one - an old crosscut blade backwards works well.👍
@@Autigers2013 I would be too - I get all my stuff at Green Parts Store online - good pricing - quick shipping - easy return if something isn’t right 👍
Didn't think you were supposed to use saws or grinders to cut sheet metal because of the swarf and how it causes the cut end to prematurely rust. Suspect that's why roofers use aviation snips or shears.
@@stuckster This is a great way for sheds, chicken coops and out buildings - IMHO Any bigger projects should be cut to size by a roofing materials supplier 👍
