Awesome kbeitz!! I really need to make the short trip over and check it out sometime!!

I do a fair amount of cycle ridding in Central, PA

How the heck you can find time doing that when you already doing the work of 5 men? ;D Heck, when do you sleep? :D

By any chance can you fix a broken heart? Got out this morning to set some post. Dug two holes with a post hole digger and had to call it a day. >:( Yep, DanG very bad day. >:(

Some days I say enough is enough and go for a cycle ride... Old Honda 400... Love it.

Well, you didn't say if you could fix a broken heart. ;D

They wanted to put one of those LVAD's in me a few years ago. Passed that up and glad I did. Even the transplant team is glad I did. ;D So it is day to day operations with me.

Oh, was just up dating the wife on your post. She even says they are outstanding. ;D

You said Honda 400 and brought back memories.  I started motorcycles with a 1972 Honda 350 twin Scrambler.  It was given to me in several boxes in pieces and a rolling frame.  I put it all back together (without a manual) and got her running again and put her on the road when I was 17.  It would redline at 10,500 rpm.  Rode like crap and handled like it too.
Never wrecked it, though!  Incredible. 

I'm glad we've got who we've got on this here forum.

My fix for your heart would be a Dominican woman...
Or maybe not... Seeing that you already got a good woman...

I got this for a cool $1000.00... Check the millage.
An older guy had it stored in his kitchen.

Nice...that's barely broken in!

I ride a Suzuki DR650 enduro bike...

I had an 81 Yamaha 650 Heritage Midnight Special that looked exactly like your bike.  Funny how they all had the same basic shapes year to year, most of them anyways.

You got a decent deal on that bike for that money and mileage.  I bet it's a decent ride, good handling and decent MPG to boot.

K,

As mentioned numerously before, this is fantastic, amazing job!! I'm sure you could sell a lot of twisted posts, there are so many possibilities.  In my opinion, you should consider a patent on your device.  Depending on where you want to go with this and what you want to do, you could also contact the mill manufacturers with your design.  I could see this as an addon accessory much like the Woodmizer lathe-mizer.  Congrats on your success, where you go with this is totally up to you!

amazing results!  That is what i call putting a new twist on an age old skill.

As promised here is pictures of the gas powered winch that I'm building.
I got it almost finished. It will fit in any class 3 hitch. I got a very large
free walnut tree given to me but its in a very hard place to get it out.
I'm hoping this will help. Again this is all junkyard stuff except the fairlead.

Cool, but could you explain how it works?  The motor is belted to a transmission or is that just a gear reducer?  Direct or is there a cetrifical clutch (I don't see one)?  The big lever - is that the brake for the drum?  Is there some sort of forward/reverse or is it just free wheeling for payout?

No clutch needed... Long handle is brake. These little tyrannys come in handy for lots
of things.

OK, You are the winner of the best collection of things ever.  No one is even close to you.  Never knew such a small, simple thing existed.  Wish I had one or two.

I have around 6 of them on the shelf. It's one thing I really watch for in the
junkyard. They came in some Garden tractors back in the 60-70's.
Other equipment also had them. Some come hooked right fast to the axle
like this one. This one came out of a powered wheel barrow.
I'm going to make a but buggy out of it...

Nice pics.  It's hilarious how they're avoiding and going around that little puddle.

They do something similar north of here at the Tuckahoe Steam and Gas Association show...you see some amazing old equipment there!

Holy cow, I just checked for those Eaton 11 hydrostatic transmissions on ebay...they ain't cheap, even all ragged out. This bugs me to no end, because I could swear that somewhere along the line, I threw one of them away. It sure looks familiar... Can you still get parts to rebuild them KBeitz?

There is another little tranny called sunstrand. You can also find them on E-bay.
Parts are for sell for them there also. If you do a search on e-bay for...

Simplicity 7016 Sundstrand transmission

you see one. Its a different company but it looks the same.

Then if you search for...


Massey-Ferguson-1650-Tractor-Eaton-1100-025-Transmission

You will see that it looks almost like the same thing

Thanks, Kevin. Interesting that the one they want $325 for looks like it went through the war compared to the $85 jobbie.

So those transmissions are pretty durable? I was always leery of hydrostatic trannies in lawn tractors, at least until I got one...

At the Tuckahoe Steam and Gas show, they had these cool powered machines called "David Bradley"s ... never saw one before but they were pretty neat.

Thank You Sponsors!
