At work just waiting for 3:30 to get here
I noticed that a wheel bolt wasn't tight. After investigating I Discovered that a P.O. had forced some 7/16 coarse bolts into four of the six 7/16 fine thread holes. I managed to rethread the holes, but wasn't sure how well the threads would hold up. I decided to run bolts in from the backside with lock washers and locktight. Then I retained the wheels with some chrome lug nuts. This old beauty needed some bling!
I am still deciding as to fabricating a sears hitch or a sleeve hitch to the rear.

Still have flies? Not seen any here for over a month now.
Yep! Biggun's too! Since I build a fire in the shop, it doesn't get that cold at night!
I worked on replacing the stock on one of my Swiss K31 rifles to a fancy one I bought a while ago.
Not happy with the fit....at all. Was expecting some "fine tuning" but this thing had some pretty major things wrong with it.
I was so annoyed with having to file, sand, grind and polish this thing to make it fit/work, it spoilt the final result for me a bit.
Might just revert back to the original stock, and sell this one....

Decided to start re-arranging the shop some. I don't use the movie screen any more (I have a portable one now) so I needed to start on this one wall. I moved the peg board up, planning to add another next to this one. I found a large wire shelf, but didn't like the way it looked there. Put a regular shelf and moved the wire shelf over-head. Well, It's a start.

How much stock is in the way? I have used a sanding drum to scalp out a place to allow the bolt to be removed. Or move the entire rifle further forward and glass in the lug. Have to put a dummy screw in the old hole. Lot more work doing it that way. Be easier to remove part of the stock.
I need an enclosure for a 12v power socket and usb outlet/voltage meter I want to install on the Massey.
I wanted waterproof and non-conductive. Matching the faceplate would be a bonus. Enter Dusty, best brother-in-law ever, and his 3D printer.

Got busy today and did some work on the Speedex S18.
I decided to put a sleeve hitch on this unit, instead of a Sears 3-point.
The transaxle on this tractor is only held in place by 4 bolts on the top side of the axle tubes. I didn't want to pull straight off of that.
There are 2 brackets hanging down from the frame in front of the transaxle. I installed two sections of angle iron to run to the rear under the axle.
Then I dropped two brackets from the top of the axle tubes to a section of angle iron connecting the first two pieces. I kept the width wide enough to accommodate the width of the sleeve hitch. After positioning the hitch I tied it to the axle brackets with 2 pieces of flat stock. After installation I needed to bend the lift bar a little to clear the tire/fender. I will probably bend it again as it is a pretty far reach to grab and pull forward.
