Machines | Some Heavy Duty Equipment For Repair & Sale
videos | at work | information | view | construction
I am starting a small engine shop at the off grid homestead. This provides a bit of extra income for my projects. I have been trading and dealing some more. I got these two heavy duty tillers from a neighbor. I will fix them up for sale. My neighbor drives around and gets small engines for free and brings them to me in exchange for things that he needs. This works out well for both of us. I repair them and sell them for a bit of cash to help The Off Grid Project. Eventually I want to set up a small engine shop. The long cold winter months would be perfect for such work. Then in the spring and summer I can sell the machines I repair. Follow my daily progress on the path to self sufficiency on my off grid solar homestead. https://www.youtube.com/user/techman2015/playlists?view=50&shelf_id=10&sort=dd Please donate to help keep The Off Grid Project ™ going: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=3TQSWXLLRZ6HW Join The Off Grid Project ™ and The Do It Yourself World ™ forum and share your ideas, tips and projects. http://www.thedoityourselfworld.com/forum The Off Grid Project ™ is presented by The Do It Yourself World ™. http://www.TheDoItYourselfworld.com

Great finds Troy!

Thanks for sharing part of your day. Hope you have luck fixing and selling those. Too bad you couldn't find a leaf raker. LOL. Raking leaves can really hurt your back, don't forget to save some of your grass clippings for the green nitrogen layer, or just use human urine. Well maybe not the urine, that would work on a compost pile, but it may heat the layer up too much. Is the grass dying under the tarps yet so you can remove them and add the thick layer of cardboard? I think the back to Eden garden will work nicely for you. I was looking at the lasagna method and also another method of mulching with unfinished compost and never turning the soil. I will be trying that in my own garden this year. How is the electric part of your fence coming along? Have a good week. God Bless and take care.

two volts per cell and or cap

Troy, not bad find, Get some video of you tearing in to them, That would get more attention.
-
Heavy Duty Equipment? LOL. I was looking for a front end loader, or a back hoe. Do you need a Heavy Equipment Hydraulics licence to run that rototiller? John Deer makes some massive tillers (Disk Harrows) that connect to the tractor, but they are not cheap.

You know what will be fun troy a solar powered tiller lol
-
you don,t know how work on small motors stop it
-
Well just back up 4 reverse lol troy
-
Whatever happened to that old tractor you had back along?
-
Why in the world did you sell your working tiller??? That is one of the best tools you had for the homestead!
-

Nicklas Lindgård doesn't have replies enabled. He suggested that Troy make an evaporative cooler. The humidity is way too high so it wouldn't work.

If cylinder s are froze poor some seafoam ing to them lol worked for me
-
first tiller looks to me a good one for your own garden!, for that less amount of money it looks more like a keeper to m Troy! (never know when you could use it!)(good brigs engine to onit!, no Chinese junk here!
-
Ummm did you make sure the drive system is disengaged before you decide that the engine is frozen??? It is geared down so you dont have to use it at a full run (lol) and if engaged the engine could feel like it is frozen. Dave

How much dried and seasoned firewood do you have ready for 1OCT?
-
So if ur not selling till next year, are you going to put them away for your winter project? U wont need to wait for wood to dry and u could fix them in one of ur meny work shops.

Here in the UK we till the soil again in autumn, to open up the soil for the frost to do its work. Its something that anybody with clay soil should do to help break it down.
