Default Post hole digger

Well the Wife let me buy another piece of property to store all my toys on, and she said I had to fence it in, it joins our other property so I only had to fence three sides, so it was going to take 36 post, and in Arkansas putting in post holes is a Big Hard Job, and i didn't want to put in Nine inch holes the size of my Digger and could not find a small digger to buy, So I went to work in the shop and Built a 2 1/2 inch Bit, and Boy did it work, We put in All 36 Post with concret in TWO DAYS

What did you make the screw part from? That is a good looking bit!

I used to have a roll around tool rack like the one that started this thread, unfortunately when I am away from home a lot I need to secure my stuff and ended up with a rollcab instead. The rack saved tons of time when I was wrenching for a living.

Default Post Hole Digger

I used 2 1/2 inch washers that had a 1 inch hole in them and then cut one side and open or spread them open 1 inch and welded them on a 1 inch piece of round stock, the U joint is from a 1200 Goldwing motorcycle,

Funny how threads sort of evolve. I was looking forward to seeing everybody's workbenches, toolboxes, and workshops. Oh well. This is fun, too.:biggrin2.gif:

I have two bead-seaters. One for easy jobs, looks just like a cargo strap. In fact it is a cargo strap. Just strap it around the tire, then tighten it up real tight. Then apply air to the valve, and voila! Bead seated. Works for lawn tractor tires, dolly tires, and other small softer tires.

For bigger tires, harder tires, I have this little can of starter fluid.....Careful now, just a quick spray....stand back....toss a match at it....voila! Tire bead seated! That way is a lot more exciting.

LMAO Exciting indeed! It's hard to imagine that we used to seat tire beads that way, but years ago we did it all the time.

Get enough ether in a tire and it will bounce 3 - 4 feet off the floor!

Not so sure that this is a method that I want to pass down to the younger generation.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
