    Homestead Machine Recommendations Needed

    Also, a 2-way blade on a skidloader becomes a PAT blade when you figure in bucket curl and roll. Easy as a bulldozer, quicker turn arounds and lighter to haul...:D

    Tire question...

    Simple single drop axle, bolts to frame, I see where you are going, that's a lot of work, to shim it up right... Even the wider tires, might not clear the axle, its close right now. I might have to do some hilbilly engineering...

    Just picked up a little drop axle trailer, currently has a set of 11+year old 205 75 R15's on it. Drags ass end , going down a steep-ish hill, to where I park/store it. I think if I could get it an inch or 2 higher, dragging would stop. Here's my question, Does anybody make a 205 85 R15...

    IMHO, pipe threaders are going the way of the landline phone, but What I have found since buying a nearly new one about 5 years ago, is that pipe threaders are a lot like snowblowers. Buy one and it wards off jobs that you need it for!:D

    That looks like the old mcCollugh sharpeners, takes a special chain, and bar, now being hawked to homeowners by oregon (and chinese knock-offs), or like ColsonO4 said, you'll ruin a good chain. At best the McCollugh system was designed by idiots, for idiots!

    If you want something to go with that cordless circular saw, take a look at this: I bought a WRX 103" clamp, the saw guide, and 2 clamps at Lowe's for about $107. WRX Is slightly different, in both the guide and clamp, but damn does that thing cut straight!;)
