ok…well I thought I would conclude this thread with a long series of pictures and maybe a video if I can figure it out.
All this week we will be working on grading our “driveway” (about 2.5 miles) and adding a little bit of new road (~0.5 mile).
First step is accomplished.. got the D6 in to the start. The driver already impressed me by getting the dozer in ahead of a small storm that happened here in June! He thought he should run it in ahead of the storm so he didn't damage the state road through the park too bad. Good thing. Turned out we got almost and inch of rain! In June!
He did some minor grading to the state road on the way in and I like what he did. Good sign.
Here is a pic of the dozer with me (one the left) and my dad (90 years old this Feb!) on the right.
I will update this thread daily as we progress. There is much to do. Not sure if anyone really cares but hey….it's got pictures of big machinery!
It's painfully obvious I am very new to all of this but I've always tended to try and learn new things the right way the first time. It's a lot easier than having to un-learn the wrong way. Less costly in the long run too.
Don't worry about the 'tude.
I've been on the net since before there was a net. I've developed a pretty thick skin for 'tude. 
Yep… used a protractor.
I don't have a dozer for another month but when I do one of these is going in it.
Can you see the link? Does it work? I have to say I've never had so much trouble posting pictures to a forum. I can see the pic in my first post but I guess you guys can't.
Are there ISO AW 220 oils that are NOT machine oil?
Yes. Specific hydraulic oils, turbine oils, etc.
I guess that's where I get lost. I see a whole lot of numbers and letters and that's about it. Is there a secret decoder ring that tells me this is a machine oil vs hydraulic oil vs turbine oil…etc.?
(and please pardon the complete thread hijack but I thought this might be relevant discussion for more than just me)
or perhaps this pdf is more complete….do you see what you are looking for anywhere in here?
Would it work to add these biocides to your storage tank? I'm likely to keep quite a bit stored for a long time (read months). Is this not a wise thing to do or will the biocides make it ok?
If you are looking for a caliper with fractions google for:
WIXEY WR100 6 in. Digital Calipers with Fractions
I personally don't have one but I've handled one and it seems to work pretty well. They claim they do a better job of when to display the fraction versus the decimal.
