[Farmall] Only Slightly off topic: Shop and Storage building for Farmall Tractors

[Larry L Hardesty]

H. Fry,     Mine are now running but never know about the future.   The 
pull/winch attachment idea sound like a good one.

Thanks

Larry

Larry, don't know if you work on many derilicts or not; if you do, put 
three (or more) recessed pull/winch attachment points in the slab.  Had 
thought about it before we poured our slab, but slipped my mind till after 
the pour.  Had planned to put two plates down at the back of the slab; one 
in line with door center and another slightly offset to one side.  Also 
intended to put a third plate down about two feet outside the front door 
in the ramp up to the slab.  With this arrangement we could pull the old 
tractors/implements into the workshop and also pull them back out the 
front door with a small winch.  One thing I did remember to put in is two 
deck drains which have come in handy for washdowns. 
One option to save on heating costs is to put a partition between the 
workshop and storage area.  This has the benefit of easier heating 
arrangements, keeping the dirt out of the shop and providing wall space 
for more storage...of course it has the drawback of having to add another 
door.  Just some ideas.  Good luck.
H. Fry
