its a case 207 i think or maybe a 205 Naturally aspirated with a Stanadyne pump it got this one cheap but i have done someLooks really nice!
What engine is in that Case 586c? I looked at one last winter and passed on it due to unknown issues, and I think it was stolen. Price was cheap though.
Why do folks in the north build post frame shops? Wood post, wood truss, wood purlins. And in the south, pre fab metal buildings are king.
Is it something with the snow? Or ease of working with wood over steel? It seems like once you cross into Kansas, post frame takes over. South of there is metal frame.
I’ve asked this before on here, just curious.
Well there are a good bit of steel manufactures around here in the south that I know of.Why do folks in the north build post frame shops? Wood post, wood truss, wood purlins. And in the south, pre fab metal buildings are king.

i agreeMy shop is a wood post frame because of cost. It was considerably cheaper for me at the time (2019) to build it out of wood rather than steel. I'm located in SW Ohio.
got all the Z purlin for the loft up there not secured yet but in the building
I like that idea. Make sure you put in some kind of bridging/bracing to keep them from rolling. Factory would be knock in bracing but that's when they're installed at 4' on center. I would think a row or two of metal studs cut and clipped in would suffice.
Something like the blocking shown here:
I spy a new CompD surfing location.
I see a floor joist right above the door. Did you intentionally leave out the jack studs for the door header?
Looking good!
What size gas line?
Do you have natural gas out there? Or have a propane tank?
