Default plans and blue prints

Okay I'll try to get this right. I would like to go on record for saying that I think we need a complete new section for plans and blue prints. Some members are genius and come up with great idea's for improvements to all aspects of our equipment. Some items might better the original equipment or come up with completely new item. For me i don't have the mind to come up with these things but maybe from others I may learn from them. I've found one thing in life and that is I can learn new things and it's never to late. I stated this in another section and was informed to put it here. All I know is this would benefit all members. This section should only be plans and blue prints and leave the forum for questions and input. I have no political agenda just an easier way for me to understand. And I'll say this one more time Adam your a genius, I like your hydraulic set-up, home made sleeve hitch and your home made wheel weights. Keep those idea's coming, Luke

I agree Luke that it is a good idea to have a spot to post plans & blueprints if one wishes to do so for everyone to see at will. I also agree that the members of our forum are geniuses and its great to see what they have dreamed up for their machines to make things better or fill a gap that the company didn't fill from the beginning. That being said, many of the members may have circumvented the need for this section with the ability to private message (PM) each other with the option at the top right of each page when they see something that another member has dreamed up that they wish to adapt to their situation. Shoot of a PM to the originating member and get the info that you desire in return. Bing, bang, boom. Done. Easy as that.

You may have noticed that this group of folks is a tighter-knit group than many other forums on the web regardless of what topic they cover. I have wondered numerous times if the PM option, given how much its used, has added to this dynamic. There is more communication between members than most other forums which goes on to help in other aspects, such as more specific info on a certain part or situation, a more involved explanation, more pictures (man we love our pictures!!), outside vendors for service, etc. You also see most guys PM'ing plans & blueprints back & forth when they see something they want to add to their machine.

Again, I do think it would be a good idea to add a section to the forum for members to post plan & blueprints for anyone to see whenever they want to. Unfortunately this need may have been negated by the use of a more general purpose tool on the forum.

The dilemma is, it is easier to build the devise, than make the plans!!

It amplifies the travel of the CAT "O" hitch so the trailer tongue goes up high enough to self-dump.



You only need the self dump trailer if you are truly lazy, like me!!

The hitch is further described here: http://www.sweetmk.com/2011/10/swinghitch/

The other is my rocket stove, it will boil water faster than a propane burner, I ain't goin' hungry when the power is out!! It runs on twigs.



More info about it here: http://www.sweetmk.com/2011/10/my-rocket-stove/

Very COOL. I wonder how the rocket stove would do burning paper rather than shreding it?

A 2 foot length of 2X4 cut into 6" pieces and split will cook dinner. I have never tried paper in it, except to start it.

It is called a rocket stove because it sounds like a rocket when it is burning.

Basically, it is a controlled chimney fire.

I run it on chilly days when I am tinkering just outside of the shed. It REALLY gives off heat, if you overfeed it!!

We have added a Sub Section to the Home Made Section, see..... Plans, Prints & Drawings

It is a section for, as the title says, Plans, Prints, and Drawings, for items related to Cub Cadets. To include, alterations, modifications, better ideas, implements and attachments used by Cub Cadets.

Enjoy...

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.
