We could make a a swap meet type tihng too? If anyone has any extra parts, etc. Bring it along to sell to other members/people.
I would love to bring the ferret down for this, but may not have a way to transport it at the time. Any ideas here guys?
WOW, lots of work for sure! I striped the interior of mone when I was restoring it, didnt take the eng or trans out, that was posed to be a winter project,,,,,didt happen this year, maybe next year though.
hey HRD, why do you have your ferret trans out? I was supposed to take mine out this winter for a rebuild and to make first gear operable again, but the M211 purchase kinda set that on the back burner for now.

The people oin charge at the state have to be approached VERY carefully. If not you end up with all kinds of mess. Even if you do it can still turn into a big mess. I see you are in Minnesota? Bob Hill is in Hayward, mn. He is a member of the yahoo email group "ferret_heaven" I would greatly...
depends on how htinck the part you are welding is. if its approx 1/4 inch or thinner you may not have to put heat to it before welding, if it thicker you may want to heat it to get the prope penetration. Heating will allow the filler you are using to penetrate all the way through. If it dosent...
The nickel rod will work much better on that cast, regualr rod is relaly ahrd to flw into cast steel or iron. You can braze it together to hold it if need be then use an arc wlder with a nickel rod. I have welded engine block, heads, etc many times and it works great. it is easlily machined...
WOW! I just checked the web site out. That place looks pretty cool! Mark, I think your tractor and its overgrown tires would be cool there, dont know if any of the trials are big nuff to handle it though. I sure would love to take the ferret on a few trials out there to see what it can/cant do.
Re: RE: Re: RE: lot part of it anyway..
