    Way wipers 8 x 30 Mill

    I replaced A&C with toolbox drawer liner. For me they fold fine & are still pliable after a few years.

    South bend lathe - $1200 - Tofield, ab

    In first pic looks like a number of teeth missing on bull gear also. A parts lathe for sure.

    Machine PDM30 table nut stripped

    My X leadscrew nut arrived yesterday from Grizzly. I did some measurements, & it is indeed for my .925-10 leadscrew. It was $106.95, $115.29 USD total delivered to the house with free shipping. I’m too busy to install it now, it’ll be this winter. I’ll report back then. hopefully it’ll alleviate...

    Box Blade build

    To be honest you probably don’t even need a rear removable cutting edge. The moldboard will never wear out even without, I’ve used my 48” BB hard for years without any appreciable wear On either edge. This is what my BB looks like with the dimension's in post #18. I have no trouble carrying a...

    Machine PDM30 table nut stripped

    I just called Grizzly again, they gave me part# 1005423 for the X leadscrew nut. They call it a table nut. It’s $106.95 usd, I just ordered it. My guess it’s the same part for the PDM30. That nut has 2 mounting ears on it, is adjustable & it’s bronze. And while I’m up for the challenge of...

    Machine PDM30 table nut stripped

    For the record, I have a Grizzly G1007, build date 6/04 that also has a .925-10 X leadscrew. I suspect mine & the PDM30 are almost identical machines. my adjustable X leadscrew nut looks like Brian’s in post #6. I adjusted the nut with a 4mm allan on a long extension years ago to remove some...

    Box Blade build

    Shawn, you should be just fine. You don’t have to put all the rippers down. Or take deep cuts. Recently I took the crown off a hill in the pasture at our place. put the 4 rippers down 1’ with the back blade down. Rip and pull dirt at the same time. With just the blade I couldn’t do it, a 3 point...

    Box Blade build

    The sides of the BB in post #13 are 17” deep, 24” long. sides are 3/8“ plate. End plate just shy of 1/4”. this thing is a brute, weighs in @ 368 lbs before my mods. With a BB, weight is your friend. I use this with a Kubota B7500 with 21HP. I could prob have bought a 5’, but the 48” fits the...

    Box Blade build

    For your consideration is this hitch mount I installed on my 48” Agri Ease box blade after I bought it 7 or 8 yrs ago. I move trailers & my log splitter etc. around my place with it. The box blade lives on my B7500 unless I’m using another implement with it. This mod is very handy. I thought...

    Myford Super 7 Victoria BC $600

    I often wonder if a seller would meet me @ the border in Washington state for a bit more $$$, (assuming it’s not too far) as machine tools look to be cheaper in Canada. Too many hoops to jump thru I guess.

    Hercus 9” metal lathe $800 Calgary

    I suspect a SB 9 would fit, they will be easier to get I think, better check fitment first. still great deal as is.

    Anvil 600.00 Canadian

    The weight would be in the 3 stamped numbers at the bottom where solid wrought is stamped In a circle. i can’t make those numbers out. my 90# (or 41kg anvil) has 0 3 5 stamped on it. this is hundred weights.
