I am either a genius or completely insane. This weekend, I bought an air compressor for my new garage:

It's a professional 2 stage cast iron type, low RPM. And it weighs roughly 700 lbs on the pallet.

Why might I be insane? Because I went into this knowing it was going to be loaded with a forklift, which is something I most definitely do not have.

So then I decided to try this:

I got lucky this time, and I did not break anything or injury anybody

After that, I had to fix the stack on my tractor. It's a homebuilt affair, I put it on the machine about this time last year. I found some vibration cracks which needed to be welded:

Yikes! Good news is, it's all fixed, and I've added an additional mounting bolt to hopefully stabilize everything and stop a repeat from occurring.

That's all for now, folks. More to come Thursday when the excavators arrive
