A few day’s of welding, you would be a pro. You need to get burned a few time’s to make a good welder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wtnhighlander 7574 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Rickey, I hope you are grounding each roll as you weld it. Arc pitting caused by welding current through the bearings can reduce their lifespan significantly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spanky 1223 Posted January 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Coop, do you have a cheap single phase 2 hp electric motor 1725 rpm’s? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wtnhighlander 7574 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Harbor Freight does. But I think you would be better off with a 'Farm Duty' motor, than 'Compressor Duty' Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will pm you with my wife’s cc number. I’d like to come up and be part of that operation. That’s gonna be cool when finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spanky 1223 Posted January 31, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 I was going to use a silage blower for a sawdust blower for my mill and edger, but I didn’t want to tie one of my tractors up to the blower. I was also afraid, that I would blow sawdust in the next county where Rick live’s. It would have made a bad blower and a cheap one too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Spanky 1223 Posted February 1, 2020 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Dave I need to get you and Coop here one day, so I can get the old ford transmission in third gear. I would like to see the Houston Boy sweat alittle for the first time. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardA 5021 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Now that would be neat. Coop, Spanky, Dave and me all in one place together. We did do 3 out of the 4 once in Iowa for a woodworking show. But doing that here in Tennessee would be the cat's pajamas. Young'un's are gonna have fun with that expression. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coop 7459 Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 It would be like the House and the Senate. Me and you booze, Dave and Rickey, coffee. But that’s ok as we’d all agree .... at least on something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
