Tractors, Mowers, Chippers, Trailers, Chainsaws, Generators, Driveway Erosion Control, ETC.

While putting the neighbors mower back together, which runs good I got Cole to turn some bolts.

 

I need deets on that valve guide repair.

 

I cleaned all the oil and dirt off of the head and pressed the guide back in. It’s pretty simple to get off if it moves again and I’ll set screw it if so.

 

i understand the hurt of pricey maintenance on stuff you did right.

 

Damn, you got that thing stripped down to the bare bone. Might as well do the brakes while your at it...

 

Pump truck is 1800 just to show up.

But it & concrete truck would both have to be on the driveway.
Can't sit in road, Its a narrow 2 lane road uphill in blind corner.

That's a no go.

Buggy would just take forever & again truck would hv to be on driveway...

If truck is on driveway, might as well just roll up & shoot it in.

This is gonna take some good researching. Concrete company already said I'd have to sign a liability waiver for them to even bring it.

& I've already got 250+ yds from them.
That's why I'm concerned.

 

im thinking good thoughts as i have no ideas.edit.
concrete company that wants money will do the job. im in construction enough to know that.

 

Faster than a Rodeo event

Always was lookin’ at one of those small hydrovac units. That & a culvert steamer could make a buck around here.

 

Have you seen the guy clean culverts online?

He uses an old tire. Why the hell had I not ever thought of that?

When you pull the front trans drain plug and see this……




Then the rear trans drain plug




Getting close to separated.






Pretty sure the culprit is in here, we’ll see.

 

silver and gold, silver and gold. see the silver, gonna cost you some gold....

 

@w.adventures I had this pop up in my feed today. As you only have a few acres the CX line might be sufficient to meet your needs and is a fair bit less expensive than the CK line.

Here's the walk around on the CX

Got groovy with the tires last night. Now if we ever have winter maybe I’ll try them out.

 

looks cool too.

 

One of those pictures you can smell

 

My main worry is lifting capacity with the bucket. I will be moving logs around.

 

Lol your math is correct considering your assumptions.
This is Civil stuff, but I know a bit about concrete.
The thickness of concrete is not as important as the preparation of the ground the concrete is on. If they did a good base, one inch of concrete is thick enough. If it was shitty preparation and there are holes and valleys under the concrete, six inches will still crack and break.
Remember concrete is great in compression but it sucks in tension.

 

Thanks! can give you some background on the foundation.

its got many hundreds of tons of 57's under it. was all gravel for 20years before i had it poured. put another 80 tons & had it tamped before the form/pour.
didnt have any holes ... just Ohio clay, so it always just sinks in & then you ad more. :-0

The parts up by the garage that had concrete already were only 4" & they were busted all up.... so took those out & did it all at the same time.

 

My driveway is a mess

 

Looks almost like mine, ours is 1/4 mile long.
