    The undercutter

    When we started with 300 plants 15 years ago, that little Kubota was an awesome little bugger. Now we plant and harvest 15,000 and it will be 20,000 plants soon. It was hard to part with her, but this new one is just one of the best designed classic tractors in the world. Still manufactured...

    The undercutter

    The bars marked weight are there to mount a 52 inch long steel bar I have with a weight of 336lb. This saves having a human ride it for weight to keep the blade down. Items yet to do: I have to create a leg to mount on the weight so that when I unhook the cutter it will sit on the blade and rear...

    The undercutter

    I just sold off my Kubota tractor and the tiller, brush hog, and undercutter, etc and bought a Massey 35 tractor so, now I'm upgrading to a larger rotovator, and brush hog, and making a larger undercutter for the garlic harvest. The Massey is a true rowcrop tractor so I don't have to add spools...

    1/2” steel welding/ work bench, $400, Edmonton, AB

    That is why I never darken the doorway of Metal Supermarket. C.W. Carry will cut you a piece of T1 4x54 for $125. Metal Supermarket wanted $535 + tax

    One Used Piston 500$- Norfolk ontario

    Hell of a homemade air compressor... or if you are an engine rebuilder, it would make a great sign base.

    Annular cutter in Mill

    My morse 3 adapter has a spring and the pin will eject the slug out through the headstock bore and hit the wall

    55 ton press, Calgary, $700

    Nothing quite as useful as a good powerful press. I'd jump on this if I didn't already have 100 tonner scaled back to 45. The down stroke for me is the hand pumps. A electric with remote controls would make this awesome.

    Induction forges

    Adds a lot of weight to the front end too.;) I did say they were stationary. I have a big old engine from National Oilwell, and it has a neat cooling system, sort of a modified 'boiling pot' system like the hit and miss engine had. There is a radiator and a fan on top of the water jacket...

    Induction forges

    I would not worry about the water cooling stuff. Why not use a fish tank pump and filter setup to circulate the water? Toss the filter, not needed. Heat rejection is not a big deal, it is the heat picked up from the iron bar that can melt the copper tube. I have seen stationary engines run for...

    Other Sears Craftsman Garden Tractor

    None of the above machines had Briggs engines. JD uses Koehler, I believe Bradley had Tillotson, and the Gravely I had was a single cylinder Wisconsin...never seen one before that. Shouldn't have scrapped it.

    CA-AB Source for cheap/scrap steel near Edmonton?

    One common mistake that kills a lot of small people taking in scrap is not understanding the industry and pricing. It is not all about weight. You can have a tractor trailer load of #1 select steel worth $360/ton, and throw on a frig and cloths dryer. Your load just went to $28/ton. White goods...
