As you can see in the 1. Pic. There apears to perchance maybe be a little rust by the rear jacking point. Gotta love having the roads covered in salt in the winter.. Have cut out the bad metal and am now prepared to grind/chemicly remove the remaining rust before welding new metal on.
Was driving when the oil pressure light came on. Was about 1km away from home so I kept driving (big mistake) the engine died shortly after. I found out why the light came on..
The first cylinder rod bearing is most likely gone. After cleaning the filter and pan the engine now starts but makes a squeaking noice from rod bearing nr. 1. :( REMEMBER TO CLEAN THE PUMP
Found it in the basement in my house. It has some kind of markings but I cant make anything out of it. Google picture search led me on a goose chase
Found on an old homestead that was last lived on in ~1910. The axeheads cleaned up good after 2 days in the electrolysis tank. Also found an old medalion that to my research there were only given out 300 of them in the span of 40 years up to 1884, so quite the find.
I'm not an expert, but I feel my trip springs may be too weak.
Some of the parts used includes: a tractor wheel spacer for the base, parts from a rotovator for the feet and the red thing mounted to the middle of the pole.
Found metaldetecting in a field in Trøndelag, Norway. I think it is lead, it weighs 229g, is non magnetic and has the lead white corrosion. Is this just a pice of metal?
Even with the mark on the dust protector I cant find anything resembling this. Does anyone know who's mark this is and possibly how old it could be? I have found no other markings.
All that is missing are the trip springs, skid shoes and the winch for lifting and lowering
Need advice from seasoned metalworkers/welders. I already know it will get critique but I hope most people come with constructive criticism.
This is my first real metal/welding project. I'm making a frame for mounting a regular tractor snowplow to the front using what I have laying around(last pic is the inspiration) only things missing are adding some welds here and there, the trip springs and winch.
Do you think this will be sufficient for the job? If not, where should I add more strengh/bracing? I am also trying to remove ass much weight from the plow as possible without removing the original connection points. The metal in white scribbles will be removed.
I estemate the plow itself to be about 200-250kg +/-. The frame is about 20-30kg, can be easily lifted by hand
I was having trouble where the pressure line would pop out of the fitting with little to no load.
Tried installing a new pressure fitting with no luck.After some research I found out there is a bracket that is supposed to hold the line in place, but somehow my pressure line must be bent or something because I had no chance to get it in the bracket without it feeling like the line would snap. So I had to weld on an extra bit to the bracket to make it hold it in place. All is good now
My Ford 3000 was having trouble where the pressure line would pop out of the fitting with little to no load. Tried installing a new pressure fitting with no luck. Lost almost 10L of hydro-fluid with trial and error.

I have posted about this earlier in the early stage of the project, but now I'm almost done.
Only missing mount for the actuall plow itself and the swinging part of it. Working with limited matetials(and knowledge) so have to make adjustments as the project continiues. Any tips by someone would be appreciated.
The CCV of the car was spitting so much oil into the intake the 1.9tdi became a run away. So threw this together in hopes it catches some oil
Found this in my barn, and was nervous touching it because it reminded me of the top part of the German ww2 bouncing Betty landmine. I was kinda right thinking that. According to google image search it looks about right. It looks unused because of the pins but I'm not sure.

According to google image search it belongs to the M16 US land mine. It looks unused because of the pins but I'm not sure
I always had a weird feeling my draft arms were too long for the tractor. Turns out I was right.
Mine messures CC 88.5cm, they are according to google and verious sites they are supposed to be about 82.5cm.
Turns out I eighter have aftermarket cat1&2 arms or arms from a bigger tractor according to the internet.
Was changing the thermostat on my 3000 and when reinstalling, the thermostat fell out of its slot (and I didnt notice) and got wedged between the housing and block so the house snapped.
