I think that sums it up nicely

I respectfully disagree. There is nothing to suggest that a new blade cuts straight, regardless of angle A blade cuts straight if it is adjusted to...

There are always going to be times when one needs to go and buy project supplies. Trying to minimize the frequency of having to travel to the store...

Old cell phones and tablets are good shop tools for magnifying and taking quick photos of work.

This needs to be repeated often and loudly. Thank you for spelling it out John. I have been trying to convey the same message for the past 20 years...

I have a pair of fencing pliers like to pair shown but in Jim's circumstance they aren't that helpful. Trying to pry a staple or nail horizontally...

My mind does not work like that. Everyone on this and other similar forums is here to help in one way or another not scam others. I really don't...

If you have a photo and dimensions, I'm not sure what you're looking for. As long as the top and bottom are parallel, the angle can be anything you...

I always have spares. From early on, I would always buy a box of screws if I only needed a dozen or so. That's just one example but you get the...

This is how I do it and it has never failed.

Having the screw holes directly in line with the bracket is not the best design IMO. I would stagger the screws off center which will add stability...

Checking the alignment as in the photo only shows where the blade ends up after the cut has been made. Unfortunately, it would seem that the blade...

Thank Bill

I thought I would add to the confusion the term "Limited Category 1 and Quick-hitch compatible" Which (I think) means, I'm really a CAT 0 but I'm...

That's exactly my point. Small tractors have their place just as much as large ones but they should not share the same category of attachments....

That's like saying a we need small CAT 1 (CAT 1-A for sub-compacts) and a Large CAT 1(CAT 1-B for compacts) It kind of makes the system that...

A couple of points. For the OP, I think what he linked to or the bolt on style I used (on a much heavier machine) will work just fine. The whole...

I have the previous version, a 6 1/2" saw. They work great. I've had mine for 15 years so I'm not sure if that's a good price but the tool is good....

Personally, I think it's because CAT 1 is right there in between home owner and professional. You can certainly get every attachment you need in CAT...

I have telescopic links on the lifting arms and they really help with some stubborn attachments and less than level ground. I also advocate having...

We don't disagree at all. The short answer is that not everything is quick-hitch compatible, although I wish it was. If anyone is considering...

With respect, this is just not as clear cut as you make it sound. The term "standard" is interpreted rather loosely from one manufacturer to...

I know this is an old thread but I though I'd mention Sawblade.com https://www.sawblade.com/

When can we officially call you a cyborg? Seriously, the simple fact that you're still up and about doing things with a tractor is great....

Yes they add about 2 inches or so to the length of the lifting arms, which is not a big issue in most cases. A Quick-hitch is "fixed" in width and...

I have a Pat's and it's great. Thought about a quick hitch but some attachments would interfere. JMO

I have a grab hooks on the top and a shackles underneath.

I use primarily Japanese planes, I tend to put them down on the sole. One reason is that laying on their side, unlike western planes, they are more...

I make a stop block with a hole for the proper sized dowel or turning to be used. I clamp it X distance from the bit with enough height to clear the...
