   AC720man and Guys,Thanks for the pictures and support on this CA project! 
Yea a old puller doesn't need to look grand. But I am going to try to improve my body work and paint skills. Why at 73 years old??? I have no idea why! I like the idea to make improvements, we will see how this turns out.
Snowing here again today. So we are riding the couch watching you-tube where guys are  doing body work.
Regards,
 Chris and Cheryl

	I need to go to where I have all my rims and centers stored. At one time I had and odd flat bolt center wheel just like the one you have. All my others were the dimple bolt circle ones.
	If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

	Paul, Thanks! I havent been working very hard on the CA. Thanks for the hint on the bigger oil pump, you were correct. My ambition got up and went lately! Went to the shop for supper and in a hour and a half our tracks were covered. Regards, Chris and Cheryl

	Chris, you are doing way better than me - I can't get much done when it's below 30 degrees here. My shop isn't great to try to heat. I am so jealous of your buildings. I too would use that pitted wheel center.

	wjohn, Yes I like the shop, but its expensive to heat. But we really like the heat coming up through your shoes. Our dog Ruby wants to stay in the shop and lay on the 69 degree floor in the kitchen area where we hang out a lot. If I have any recommendations on a building with several big overhead doors like ours. It would be to get even better insulation in them. I think ours are R16, but the wind seemed to be whistling through them up here on the hill. I hope that i do help get you going on your CA.

	Guys, Not a lot going on here, which is pretty much the norm anymore. Temps are around zero. That D14 with the blade really works well to get some of the snow moved around in the drive area. Tractor shop on the left, Sugar house on the right. Going through fuel (propane) like crazy. But the shop is comfortable. I did get the valve cover surface cleaned up. Will mask the valves and the bottom end. Need to get some primer and orange on this block: Ordered headlights and bullet tail light today from Alex here on the forum. Found some old steel sheet stock to repair the fender. It's about .060 thick. Have the tool box steering cover in the E-tank to clean the inside of some of the rust.

	Beautiful shop Chris, what size is it? I’m still shopping around, metal building or stick built. Metal buildings certainly are less expensive and go up in 3 days. I’m looking at a 30’x70’ with a 30’ lean two off of it. 3- 10x10 garage doors, 12 ft ceiling. Enough to get the biggest tractor, my XT, inside. Will see how much more a 14’ ceiling cost, 1-12x12 door so I don’t have to cut off any of the straight pipe. Right now all my stuff is at the farm in a open face building which is fine but I would like to get it out of the afternoon sunlight. CA is looking good, snow is sticking around here as well. 4 degrees this morning and a high of 24 most of the week. Other than feeding cows twice a day I’m staying inside.

	AC720Man, The shop is 40 deep x 64 long. As mentioned when I started a thread on the shop build on this forum (Shop Talk thread) They are never big enough. Sounds like you have a good design that will fit your needs. I would recommend 12 foot wide doors. I really like that width. My grandson is having a post type building put up with steel roof and siding. It's taken since the middle of Sept and not close to being done. He has a contractor friend working on it when they can. It is 40 x 60 with a 14 x 60 lean to, on the south side. How many cows do you have? What is the breed? My dad had dairy grade Holestiens most of his life. I helped on the farm and lived on his other farm about 5 miles away where he had young stock. Cold weather tests everything! You had to keep moving to stay warm. Regards, Chris and Cheryl
