My 6 way #2

Post by Willyr » Fri Sep 09, 2011 10:20 pm

Well it is mostly together. I have run out of money and need about $200 more to get hoses and some other stuff. Right now the twist cylinder is on but dry from factory (still plugged). I may fill it with oil just to hold the blade in one position. I also need to put a rubber flap from top of blade back over the cylinder. I used it the other day and had a lot of dirt spilling over and getting in joints that dont need dirt in them.

I have been toying with the idea of hooking up some pipe and a 90 degree ball valve so I could open the valve, angle the blade, close the valve and do my work?

Trying to sell an old furnace and a cast iron radiator, no one is busting my door down for them so it may be awhile before I can finish plumbing it.

Hi Willyr,
I like to use hose wrap anywhere they can't be clamped down or need slack to allow for joint movement.
I use ball valves to shut off flow to thumb cylinder when using grapples. Works good, but I remove the handles so they can't be turned by brush or limbs. :)
If it's worth doin', it's worth doin' right.
