DIY Rototiller Trenching Attachment
I needed to run some irrigation pipe so I made this trenching disc attachment for my rototiller. I used the center of an old 14" or 15" GM rim with teeth made from 1/4" flat stock. This may be best suited for sandy soil away from large trees as roots and rocks may make the tiller kick and possibly shear the 5/16" bolt. Might be an option to add a couple of slightly longer straight teeth to sever small roots. Some tiller guards were removed for easier viewing. Anyone digging should have all underground utilities located in advance.

Painting bolts, screws, and other fasteners using a bucket lid
Просмотров 685Месяц назад
Easy reusable holder for bolts, screws, and other fasteners. Been painting bolts this way for many years when detailing engines, etc.. If you drill holes slightly smaller, the bolts will thread in and will be secure. No need to pre-drill for sheet metal and self tappers. I have a few of these around. Much easier than using a screwdriver to poke holes in scraps of cardboard every time. #diyworks...

Installing the brake spring / anti rattle clips on a 2020 F350. From what I can tell this is the style used on 2013 to 2023 F-250, F-350 and some F-450 Ford Superduty trucks.

Stuck Disc Brake Rotor- try this easy DIY trick to remove it
Просмотров 1223 месяца назад
All four rotors were really stuck, this was the only way I could break them loose. I used two bolts and alternated tightening to gently start breaking it loose and then spun the rotor 180 degrees and did the same to prevent stressing the caliper bracket or distorting the rotor. Use caution on small cars with lighter weight brackets and thinner rotors. Rotors with a parking brake drum must spin ...

    Hi! One of the best DIY trenchers I have seen! Just out of curiosity, what's the angle and width of the welded pieces and the width of the trench?

    • @GasandOilGeek
      @GasandOilGeek Месяц назад

      Thanks! The "teeth" are about 1.75" wide, Angle is maybe 15-20 degrees. Trench is probably 1.75" which worked for the 1" plastic pipe I was running. Probably could go slightly wider if needed.

  • @ljprep6250

    Not even deep enough for a phone line, let alone a cable run, electric run, or such. Good thought, but not really that practical. I'm in the process of building a stump grinder and think that extended nosecould be rigged to dig deeper trenches.

    • @GasandOilGeek

    The "civilian" One Ton Power Wagon was essentially a WWII-era military chassis with a 1939-ish Dodge pickup cab grafted onto it. They were off-road beasts. Dodge actually built them for domestic U.S. sale until 1968, if memory serves. After that, they could not meet the federal safety standards and the dies for many of the parts (especially the cab) were simply worn out. Back in 1973, a local electric pole line construction company where I lived still used this model of Power Wagon for the really tough off-road power line-building jobs in the mountains. The one I saw working was a 1965 model. It was essentially the same as this one, with just minor differences in tail lights, turn signals, etc. The "newer" ones also had synchronized gears in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, much like the contemporary "modern" 4WD trucks of the era. This truck likely had the engine replaced at one time. If memory serves, the '48 model came with 230 c.i.d. engine. The 251 came along later. I have an owner's manual for the early model like this one. You will get a workout lubing the truck--it has, I believe, 32 separate Zirk grease fittings.

    • @GasandOilGeek
      @GasandOilGeek Месяц назад

      Great info, thanks for posting! Yes, someone upgrades this to the later 251 engine. Previous owner(s) probably kept it maintained fairly well since everything still works today.

    Not sure if you know this or not but old transmissions don't work the same as new ones. 1st gear is not your starting gear unless in extreme circumstance like off roading or pulling something. It is called compound or granny for a reason. During normal driving start out in 2nd and treat your gear box like a 3 speed.

    • @GasandOilGeek
      @GasandOilGeek 2 месяца назад

      When i first started driving it I found that the clutch chattered quite a bit if I started out in 2nd gear - I think the clutch/pressure plate surfaces may have been rusty from sitting so long. Found that getting it rolling in 1st gear seemed to work pretty good. Now that I driven it quite a bit, it's starts off smooth in 2nd gear, so I think the rust has worn off. It's much easier to drive starting in 2nd for sure. Thanks for the note!

      @imgettinby 4 месяца назад

      @@GasandOilGeek OK, Now that you say that I can see it there, I just thought that was an ill fitting hood alignment issue. That's just not how Dodge did it, so I was looking at the front where it usually is. Ultimately, running the engine numbers (at 2:10, the flat spot on the block, just above that screw-in rubber freeze plug), to make certain what it is is your best bet. It could be a 251 or a 237 or it could be a 265. Whichever it is you are still a winner.

    We have the same transmission. I have a 1950 B2B. Guys already said start in second. Your shifting at the right RPM just add a double clutch and don’t change the speed of your shifting it is suppose to be that fast. I quickly shift through the gears in my truck as intended. Even though my truck is a RWD i have used first for steep inclines, good loads and off roading. It’s a god send. Still would be nice having a 5th gear for that 4.10 in the rear.

    As a EX-owner of one of these great trucks, change the brake master cylinder to a two- line set up as if you lose one wheel cylinder you lose all of the brakes that is why I am an EX-owner. as I was turning a down hill corner and lost a cylinder and went off the road and totaled it.
