To Isavetractors, Very nice build. It's wonderful to see a younger individual with passion and drive (instead of addicted to all of the electronics). I have a number of older tractors. Wish I had more free time for creativity and tinkering. Keep dreaming! Blessings on your future endeavors.
Norman, great idea. I use to weld with tennis shoes, but I got tired of burning my feet, and I wear jeans, a welding jacket, hat burned my scalp alot. Can't blame my bald spot on that.😂😂😂 Subscribed for more.
Yea, I have burned up one pair of shoes so far. I stopped wearing my steel toe work boots because bending over with the boots up would hurt my toes. I need to order soft toe boots! I wear Arm protectors now.
I save Wheel Horses too. You do good work. Congratulations on a successful build. Keep saving them, as many people don't understand our passions or sicknesses. lol. Cheers.
cool videos. I am in the process of getting my shop going. I can't wait to start fabricating And restoring my old garden tractors. You seem very knowledgeable on w h at you do. Love watching And learning new tricks. Thanks again for your videos.
You're welcome and thank you for the kind words! I have videos coming out weekly now so stay tuned. When you need parts for your old small engines think of isavetractors.com
Very nicely done Norman. The only thing more that I would have done was round off all the sharp corners which I seem to always manage to find a way to tear my jeans or cut my leg on! I purchased a new utility trailer a couple of years ago and when I got it home I spent probably an hour so with the angle grinder rounding off the 90 degree corners all over the trailer and touching up the paint. I use a quarter (coin) and a scribe to mark the radius on the corners and that way when I grind them off they're all the same radius!
Thanks for your comment, I agree, I should have taken off more sharp corners. Truth is I did this project on a whim to handle a problem on my property,, and decided to film it. I did not expect to get this much interest on this video!
Enjoyed your video, great project. P.S. That Clean Weld spray is meant to be sprayed inside welder nozzle it prevents slag from building up on the tip.
Nice job, a little wider would've made it perfect, won't be driving over what you've just done and less passes ...but still a good job. Little tip for drilling, don't go straight to a large drill bit, step it from smaller sizes, your drill bits will last longer. Also if it's smoking like it did it's getting too hot, over heating drill bits will wreck them fast, you need some coolant/lubricant on there. I've seen people use many things in a pinch 😉
Awesome build and works great. Word to the wise, when you use the angle grinder for cutting, wear thick welding gloves cuz when it kicks (not if) you will be missing a finger in a jiffy.
Norman, cool video! I am contemplating some type of ripper or even a tiller on the back of a Wheel Horse C-161-8 / Ark Loader I am picking up soon. I know I need weight behind me for loader ballast, but I’d like to tear up soil and scrape it off with the same piece of equipment.
It's a good idea. You can use a fixed weight bracket that is separate from your implement lift, so you can have both ballast and a ripper. You should also install ripper teeth onto your bucket and use it for both ripping and scooping
isavetractors good ideas as well! I have yet to see the machine but have an agreement with the current owner. It’s not really on the market. Once I pick it up, I’ll figure out how to make it all work for me!
Nice video! I like how you explain what and why you do stuff. I didn't really hear what you said about the spray you are using(my native language is Swedish). Are you using a no gas welder and the spray is to keep the splatter to attach to the steel? I have a no gas welder to and will soon be using it to build a new mower deck for my 28 year old Stiga Park. That tip could be useful then. Regards Nils from Sweden.
just wondering what size generator are you us to power your welder, an if you ever want a tougher paint try Magic Paint its sold at tractor supply the only bad about it is it take 24 hours to dry but when it does its almost like powder coating
Nice design, good work. I see a few similarities to my setup.What did you use for shanks? Were they store bought? You should have stuck with your original width, or possibly gone wider. Can you gear down and go deeper?
The shanks are from Agri Supply. In the video I test it digging it in pure compacted sand and gravel. It works much better in our garden area which is a nice loamy top soil.
just two things that i have noticed that needs some work on one is not to have your spray can that close to your welding a hot spark could explode your can and if you got closer to your weld about 1/4 inch away from your material you should have less splatter. at 378 on time line looks like you are over an inch away with your nozzle.
PT SUTPHIN yea it's a bad habit of mine but the contents are non flammable according to the can but still is under pressure. I have since kicked the habit and you won't see the can in future videos. thanks for watching and for your concern.
As a result of your suggestion I am going to buy a pedestal shop fan today at Harbor Frieght! I rewatched the video and even with my fan, that welding smoke comes right at me
Our property is mostly sand. I think it will work with denser material, but you would have to make multiple light cuts. It works well in our garden with well amended soil.
The "A" Frame is a separate attachment for the 3 point lift. The engine drives a hydraulic gear pump that drives the entire drive train of the tractor.
Hi Ken, I could build one for a 3 point hitch, but I am not currently set up to cost effectively manufacturer any attachments for customers. Maybe in the future. Thanks for watching!
Do yourself a big favor, get a welding jacket to protect your skin from harmful UV rays from the welding arc! Melanoma (Cancer) is escalated by UV. Also a particulate mask to protect your lungs.
Hey Norman, long time listener first time caller. Starting to get into welding myself and picked up a multiprocess welder to dabble in all the disciplines. With your flux core builds, any issues with welds breaking or welds not holding up compared to stick welds? I enjoy the content, keep it up!
Hmh. Maybe a grader blade isn't what I need at all for what I want to do. A ripping bar or box blade with ripping teeth might be what I need initially.
Welding in shorts Norm, I'm surprised your legs don't look like you've escaped from a leper colony ... lol I've burnt holes right through my leather boots with hot slag from my mig ...
It didn't go but two inches in the soil. I like the design but it never proved you can bury the tines 6 inches and rip the hard soil. After all that work and money spent on the metal, it would be cheaper to rent a rear tine tiller for a day if it can only go 2 inches. Seriously I really like your design. Good luck. That Klean Weld is meant to be sprayed inside the tip of your welder nozzle. To prevent buildup of slag from the spray. Not to be applied to the welding seem. That you want to be clean metal on metal. Good luck fella!
Anti Spatter spray is for anything you don't want spatter to stick to. It works great on the metal you're working on. You should try it. I dip my nozzle in an anti spatter gel. I weld with Flux Core Wire so anti spatter spray is a great time saver.
I cringe when I see comments like this. It spreads false information that flux core is not a capable welding process which is untrue. Flux core wire can weld much hotter than gas shielded mig.
@@Isavetractors not saying I wouldn't use one but for thick steel I rather use my stick welder. Mig is mainly more convenient but cost more to run. I've been thinking of getting a flux core to do thinner stuff with.
On the contrary I dont like using flux core for the thinner stuff. When I fix the hood on the 4040 I will be getting bottle of gas for it. Check out my JD400 suitcase weight bracket build. I use .035 flux core out of a 200 amp wire welder. Welding 3/8". Keep in mind this Cultivator build is an old video. The suitcase bracket was my most recent welding project. Big difference in the end result.

Finally getting around to watching this one; just about all the way through the channel! Hope you and your family & farm have been doing well.
I save Wheel Horses too. You do good work. Congratulations on a successful build. Keep saving them, as many people don't understand our passions or sicknesses. lol. Cheers.
Thanks for your kind comment! I appreciate it!

Robert Davis OKok u
Neatly done and a ton less expensive than a disc. Picked up a lot of good info .Thanks.
I recently discovered your channel and I really enjoy each episode
cool videos. I am in the process of getting my shop going. I can't wait to start fabricating And restoring my old garden tractors. You seem very knowledgeable on w h at you do. Love watching And learning new tricks. Thanks again for your videos.
You're welcome and thank you for the kind words! I have videos coming out weekly now so stay tuned. When you need parts for your old small engines think of isavetractors.com
@5:28 just curious why you chose not to use your new chop saw. Was it because the piece is small and hard to clamp in, or was it too big for the cut?
it would not clamp well in the chop saw because of its short length.
He is such a great guy!!.. I wish he lived next door to me!
Great video. I attached a Titan ripper on my 1993 Craftsman garden tractor using a sleeve hitch from Johnny Products.
Very nicely done Norman. The only thing more that I would have done was round off all the sharp corners which I seem to always manage to find a way to tear my jeans or cut my leg on! I purchased a new utility trailer a couple of years ago and when I got it home I spent probably an hour so with the angle grinder rounding off the 90 degree corners all over the trailer and touching up the paint.

Keep it up Norman, I am REALLY!!!!!! enjoying your videos. I hope to build half the stuff you do some day.
Thank you for the kind words!
Awesome build and works great. Word to the wise, when you use the angle grinder for cutting, wear thick welding gloves cuz when it kicks (not if) you will be missing a finger in a jiffy.
Let the blade do the cutting, don't force it through, great job...
norm i am hoping to build fel on my 446 case onan motor hyd love the old tractors after learning from you
That looks great...
I do 5 acre farm and I looking for a mini tractor to clean weeds between places of rows..
Why were you running the chop saw with a generator? Testing the generator?
Great job. You've inspired me to give it a shot.
You comment is the kind I like the most!
Norman, cool video! I am contemplating some type of ripper or even a tiller on the back of a Wheel Horse C-161-8 / Ark Loader I am picking up soon. I know I need weight behind me for loader ballast, but I’d like to tear up soil and scrape it off with the same piece of equipment.

I noticed on a couple of your videos you use flux core wire do you like that better than using gas and bare wire?
Is that welder engine driven ? And is it a comb unit, stick/mig, AC/DC and what brand/Model please ?
It's just a 140 AMP inverter wire/mig welder. I run it off of a 3650 watt portable generator. Nothing fancy. It's a Klutch 140si welder.
That worked realy well another job done with pride
Nice video! I like how you explain what and why you do stuff. I didn't really hear what you said about the spray you are using(my native language is Swedish). Are you using a no gas welder and the spray is to keep the splatter to attach to the steel?
I have a no gas welder to and will soon be using it to build a new mower deck for my 28 year old Stiga Park. That tip could be useful then.
Regards Nils from Sweden.
Hi Nils, yes the spray is a keep the spatter from sticking. It's called Kleen Weld. It works great!
should have made it longer. its narrower then the tractor so you cant make passes without running over what you just broke up
Just two extra blades would've worked well, plus a little extra weight at the back wouldn't hurt when ripping.
just wondering what size generator are you us to power your welder, an if you ever want a tougher paint try Magic Paint its sold at tractor supply the only bad about it is it take 24 hours to dry but when it does its almost like powder coating
Back then I think I had a 4000 watt generator. I no longer use a generator to power my welders but it worked back then. Thanks for watching!
Did you make the scarifying teeth or buy them?
Nice design, good work. I see a few similarities to my setup.What did you use for shanks? Were they store bought? You should have stuck with your original width, or possibly gone wider. Can you gear down and go deeper?
The shanks are from Agri Supply. In the video I test it digging it in pure compacted sand and gravel. It works much better in our garden area which is a nice loamy top soil.
Hi dear could you inform me where from I can get this kind of tractor
What is the model name and number of the 🚜 you use please I like the size of it and how much?
Hey im working on a simplicity 9029 i need a bering for the forward revers lever where can i get one
How can I buy a minn tiller which can clean weeds like that and what the price is...! ?
I like a mini one with 5 acre farm
Great job🤠👍
You do awesome work, I am going to be looking for a k series rebuild kit for a 12 hp 301. Do you sell complete kits with new cams ?
We sell complete rebuild kits. Check out our website. we dont sell cams. If your cam is not broken. Reuse it.
great job, I messed my cannon camera up by recording my friend weld on my horse trailor
J&B's Homestead I use a lens cover to protect the camera lens. but I do have to replace the lens cover after a while. it will catch spatter
How wide for both tires are from left to right?
Do you sale part's for a Allis chalmer 611 I'm looking for a carburetor and looking for and brake pads and also parts for a mower
nice man i built one about like it for a wheel horse goes on where the mower deck was about like a grader blade does OK
Very cool! Would love to see it some day!
I don't have a picture on my phone but I will get one and send it to you
what type of blade is that?cut through the metal so easily!!
just two things that i have noticed that needs some work on one is not to have your spray can that close to your welding a hot spark could explode your can and if you got closer to your weld about 1/4 inch away from your material you should have less splatter. at 378 on time line looks like you are over an inch away with your nozzle.
akaeldin yes ive seen one explode in the shop. serious injury and burns.
I have seen an aerosol can explode sitting on a welding table. great job just be safe so we can keep seeing your videos.
PT SUTPHIN yea it's a bad habit of mine but the contents are non flammable according to the can but still is under pressure. I have since kicked the habit and you won't see the can in future videos. thanks for watching and for your concern.
Awesome job
I'd recommend getting a large shop fan to blow the welding smoke away from you. Cheaper then a fume extractor or hospital bills :)
Thanks! I do have a box fan running off camera, but I could use a stronger one for sure!
As a result of your suggestion I am going to buy a pedestal shop fan today at Harbor Frieght! I rewatched the video and even with my fan, that welding smoke comes right at me
Yeah the commercial floor fans are good for keeping mosquitos away too!
+isavetractors just read your article in LATMag nicely done keep the articles coming!
you should have yourself a big old garden. you have a whole line of garden tractors. you would be set!
Soft dirt , or is it sand ? Do you think it will work in harder dirt / rock ?
Our property is mostly sand. I think it will work with denser material, but you would have to make multiple light cuts. It works well in our garden with well amended soil.
SUPER IDEA . POZDRAWIAM .
What size are the tines?
Great video and effort but it’s not actually braking up the hardpan, it’s just scratching the top of it and making more layers of compaction.
can u describe about the actual material(steel or iron type) used?
Regular Hot Rolled Mild Steel from a local steel supplier
Nicely done!
Excellent build there friend!
Does the "A" attachment come with the hydraulic to lift it. What drives the hydraulic pump?
The "A" Frame is a separate attachment for the 3 point lift. The engine drives a hydraulic gear pump that drives the entire drive train of the tractor.
Norman, do you or could you build those Ground Rippers for a 3 point hitch 2510 Kioti, 50 in wide with five tines?
Hi Ken, I could build one for a 3 point hitch, but I am not currently set up to cost effectively manufacturer any attachments for customers. Maybe in the future. Thanks for watching!
You sir are a bad man welding in shorts I tried it once and nearly died.
Do yourself a big favor, get a welding jacket to protect your skin from harmful UV rays from the welding arc! Melanoma (Cancer) is escalated by UV. Also a particulate mask to protect your lungs.
Thanks for looking out!
Get a life..
AMAZING job, what brand was that saw? I need one.
Listen to the video he says its name clearly
Nice job! That came out great!
IHcubcadet
Great video ! High quality build !
Excellent job!
Awesome job I think I'll have to make one. You do great work Thanks for the video !!!!
very nicely done
NIce! Would like one to recondition my gravel driveway...
Nice work... Love that tractor too!
very nice quality work
Nice injuneering hats off
Nice spelling! LOL
Hey Norman, long time listener first time caller. Starting to get into welding myself and picked up a multiprocess welder to dabble in all the disciplines. With your flux core builds, any issues with welds breaking or welds not holding up compared to stick welds? I enjoy the content, keep it up!
one trick on the anti spatter, make your own out of dish soap and water. much cheaper and works just as well
1 am 66 never to old to learn ty norm
What is the number of horsepower the tractor has?
18HP
Onan P218
Ok mine has 12 and also you REPLIED!? You are a very cool and talented person and I love your videos!
That was my question, I am totally wowed! Amazing!
Good tractor !
Add Gypsum to the soil it helps break it up along with some Organics . It will take a few application's, you don't have to till it in.
if i had any welding skills i would build one also for my LS tractor...but i suck at welding
Only 1 way to get better. Do it!
Hmh. Maybe a grader blade isn't what I need at all for what I want to do. A ripping bar or box blade with ripping teeth might be what I need initially.
You will find you will end up buying/building a lot of implements. Not only is it a lot of fun, sometimes you just need a custom tool
isavetractors that's very true. I'll probably end up getting a grader shortly after the box blade with a ripping bar haha
Nice job
Every time he says “here I am” you must take a shot.
Lol i was going to say "and here i am, commenting...."
I need to buy one now let me know
seach Facebook Marketplace
Good job
do you have any simplicitys?
I have an Allis Chalmers B1, that's the closest tractor I have to a Simplicity. (They were the same company at one time)
If you were located in tx i would pay you to get my 49 ford 8n and bolens 1050 to run lol
Good businessman
I have an Ingersoll two and a 112 John Deere lawnmower
Welding in shorts Norm, I'm surprised your legs don't look like you've escaped from a leper colony ... lol I've burnt holes right through my leather boots with hot slag from my mig ...
I have been
using kitchen spray it is called {PAM }here in Canada mucher cheaper
cooking oil in a spray can does a great job and is very cheep try it
Terima kasih banyak .....
Who welded that? Ray Charles!
Yep! And probly with his feet!
You should sell them... I myself would by one, honestly in need of one
It didn't go but two inches in the soil. I like the design but it never proved you can bury the tines 6 inches and rip the hard soil.

I like the vids but... how bout replacing generator noise with music, commentary, or anything else? Good job though
Done! You will see in my later videos I add more commentary. Have a proper welding outlet now too so no more generator noise. Thanks for watching!
I got a case 448
The anti splatter spray is intended for the nozzle of your mig gun ,not the piece you are welding on , just saying save yourself some money that way
Anti Spatter spray is for anything you don't want spatter to stick to. It works great on the metal you're working on. You should try it. I dip my nozzle in an anti spatter gel. I weld with Flux Core Wire so anti spatter spray is a great time saver.
Now here I am.....
Is this guy even still alive?
The myth is, he is around somewhere saving the tractors...
I'm not so sure that works great. ... I have planted a money tree in my back yard though.....works great also...
Get rid of that shitty flux core and get a tank of argon. You wont have all that splatter to worry about
I cringe when I see flux core welders used for stuff like that. For thick steel I'd use a stick welder unless I had a good mig setup.
I cringe when I see comments like this. It spreads false information that flux core is not a capable welding process which is untrue. Flux core wire can weld much hotter than gas shielded mig.
