Glad you've got it going without messing with it, drilling and tapping is never fun. I've surprisingly never done a helicoil on an engine repair, they're used to keep the same size bolt as the original and I've never had that constraint yet, a slightly larger bolt has always been acceptable for...

I would wait till you have the new caps at least, and hopefully you don't need new bearings or even worse a spindle. You'll need to pull the cotter pin and unscrew the castle nut to get the bearings off, note how it comes apart so you can put it all back. Once you clean them up and get them...

Yup, they're just pressed in there

Get some bearing buddy caps with a zerk, then replace the cap with the bearing buddy ones. Then you dont have to pull it apart to grease it, which is the normal way. Since those haven't been touched in years you might wanna pull them apart, clean them, then repack them.

The horses seem to know what's up and who to trust :lol:

I think this is the overwhelming general consensus, and I'll be honest that fact greatly confuses me. I know I'm spoiled coming from another trade, and the fact that I've have a crane or other lifting device readily available for pretty much every day of my career doesn't help, but the ability...

I use a 5/8 treemaster for my secondary because i use it on the butt, where most of the weight is when swinging limbs, the winch gets the tips.

I'm sure you know about using multi part line to make it swing far above its weight class, very handy on occasion. I'm sure you also know you can stand up limbs that would otherwise hit the structure. And I'm sure you know you can pull limbs up or together more for cabling. I also suggest to...

I only have a non tailing homemade version i welded up and i absolutely love it. I wanna add a much better fairlead with rollers, and thinking about doing a big rigging bollard and winch setup on a little hand cart, walk it up to the tree, lean it up, winch it tight, and then I'm all set up for...

That was awesome!

Yup, and cleaning up the kerf on gap hinges, which i probably use too much.

Yup, common around here too where the waters shallow

Accidently hit post reply before i was done lol

You could rig up your own cable tool one if you needed to, I've been toying with the idea myself since I'm on a bored well and have to haul water from time to time.

I do splices or a buntline hitch.

That works better than i thought it would honestly, he's knocking out brick sized pieces every few seconds.

Yup, i splice everything, even wire (grommets are "easy" in wire and are super handy). But 3 strand is unparalleled with its versatility of splices, and the rope tools you can make with it are sweet. I still run 3 strand for my construction work positioning lanyard, and have either an eye or a...

That's the thing man, that's not special that's just the job, and tree work gives me a chance to do my own thing that's different from my fitter job so I'm not as susceptible during downswings in the sector and gives me more control and autonomy with my income and work requirements. My training...
