Yeah, or pretty similar. I'm not familiar with potato equipment though so I can't say for sure. I live in the highest potato producing county in the nation so you see parts like them all over. I personally dont work for a potato farmer but people still know a potato digger piece when they see them. I can't find a good picture of a single one on google but they are rods that are bent into a hoop at one end and are linked together to make a digger belt.
This is the best picture I could find on google. -
Tore up some 1950s era pad of concrete and they had filled the concrete with old potato digger pieces instead of rebar. It worked I guess.Yeah WOW was my reaction too.
Speaking of rebar, I demolished an old cistern in the back of my house and found old metal tractor wheels, rods of all shape and size, some sort of angle iron with rollers on it in the concrete slab. It was quite a bit of scrap money ha

Nice pickup. I've always wished I did a cummins swap on the pickup I'm building.I didn't exactly find this truck on the street but it is my uncles 85 Chevy crew cab longbed truck. He fixed it up a couple of years ago and also swapped a 5.9 Cummins in it along with a nv4500 5 speed. He has an 86 single cab that he is getting ready for another 5.9 Cummins swap.

I realized I had a problem when I was skipping class just to look at tools. They weren't even good tools, I would use any tools I could get my hands on. Craftsman's, husky's and then it got to the point where this happened.
[emoji24] [emoji24] [emoji24] [emoji24] I had to realize that I had a problem and every tool I bought took away a little piece of me before I could start the long road to recovery. Shortly after realizing that I said "f%#$ it those protos are shiny". I dont know why I bother coming to these meetings anymore. Im constantly confronted with pushers triggering me with phrases like one is never enough.[emoji6] -

All I can say is that I'd avoid georgias. Was up on cold damp tin and slid flat on my back. Luckily I had a manlift to catch myself on or I'd be hosed. My dad does a lot of roofing and uses tennis shoes.Any roofers out there? Curious to what I should use on a metal roof not to slip I used to use a pair of vans board shoes but old and blew them out. Anyone try the ones at lowes awp roofing shoes

I've heard good and bad about those. I'll have to check them out when my Georgia's go out. Can you get them without a steel toe? I cant do steel toe boots for safety reasons.I have caterpillar brand boots and I'll never go back

In third world countries rebar is rare. Thats what caused the horrible tragedies in Haiti. Everything was concrete but didn't have adequate rebar and so it all just crumbled. Then we had Chile a year later get hit by a stronger quake but saw little deaths because they could afford rebar. Sad stuff.

I like the Pittsburgh ratchets more than Craftsman. Proto is great for USA made but I like Gearwrench 120 XPs, great price and they're smooth.
I suggest getting some Super Lube for anything that you buy, it will make an ok ratchet, much nicer...it will make a nice ratchet, fantastic. Even my low tooth count Williams ratchets are smooth as Pierre McGuire's head but a lot less noisy and weird.
Where can a guy find some of this super lube?

That sucks. I'm surprised those locaters workthough. My brother was an apprentice for a plumbing company and said the ones they used were only accurate within three feet. When I was 15 I did a septic line repair for a guy where the old cast iron line had sagged and was backing up so I had to cut the cast, fernco it, and put in ABS and a two way clean out. The part that sucked about that is that he had his plumber buddy show up and run their camera with an integrated lacator through the thing and find where it was so it could be dug up. I didn't know how inaccurate these things were though. So anyways they said it'll be about 4-5' down. I was fifteen and wasn't about to go rent a mini excavator so I grabbed a shovel. It was terrible digging. It was pretty much just 8" or bigger rocks with only enough dirt to fill in the cracks. So I dig an 8'x3' trench centered on the locater mark to have plenty of room to work. 6 hours later I'm 5' down and nothing. 2 more hours I'm down to 7' and still nothing. I get pissed off and ram my shovel into the side. Yeah the pipe was about six inches to the side of the trench. It wasnt even 5' deep. [emoji20]

Depends on what you do.

Picked up this today. It's a tool of my trade. Ruger 10-22 collector series with some sweet sights and a picatinni rail and modular stock. This thing is sweet. Got a rock Chuck with the first couple rounds. It'll hit dead center of a bullseye at 100 yds no problem.

Yeah a twenty ton bottle jack should do the trick. I've lifted heavier roofs that had sagged a lot more with a loader. I'm talking heavy enough that I had to keep the stick cranked all the way back to keep the bucket stationary and had the rear wheels about off the ground.No surprise I guess, time to get out the hydraulic jacks

I've updated the post to include hypoids in purple. Never even heard of those before now. It's interesting to see that the hypoid is always paired with a sidewinder.
-
I've heard that wormdrive
vs. Sidewinder
style (inline?) drive vs hypoid drive is a regional thing, I think the guys even mentioned it in the skil video. I want to see if there's any truth to it. I'm in central/eastern Washington and have never seen a sidewinder style on a job site. Never even once. Every crew exclusively runs mag wormdrive skilsaws day in and day out for everything. DIY'ers are the only ones you'll see touching sidewinders. What about you crew? Let us know what area of what state you're from and what style sawsThis map will be regularly updated. Blue = sidewinder and red = wormdrive. I'm going to throw in hypoid too in purple.
