Hope it solved the problem. Remember. You will have to do this once a year if you drive in a lot of water.

Opelousas area.

@@outdoordiy4884 I knew I heard it lol. I know my cajun accents

👍

Every case is different. This is just to show you how to free the engine up. I did state that it will never be like new again. This is to just get someone by until they decide what they want to do.

My apologies. Been hunting a lot. It was our rut. I do have some catch videos I’ve been wanting to post. Bear with me and I’ll get them up soon.

If crankcase is empty fill it. If you get it freed up, I would replace the oil just to ensure the wd-40 didn’t contaminate the oil.

You're welcome!

Held up great. I was worried about the access panel corners but hasn’t come loose anywhere. I recommend it to everyone.

@@outdoordiy4884 Thank you for the reply, Very much appreciated!

Never from the top. 2 months ago. I did have a pig keep running into the back of the trap slowly moving the trap next to a wallow and he dug out. I just added 2 3” pieces of 1” pipe on the corners and drove a piece of rebar in the ground to eliminate the trap movement.

Hope it fixed it quick for you.

I’m at 650$ a trap. Still selling them easily. The cost of material for your build is up 75$.

@@outdoordiy4884 thanks a bunch brother! I like your set up and will have to build some!

They work well. I showed the spring door due to the simplicity of it. I’ll do a drop gate video after the season. Happy Hunting

@@outdoordiy4884 hey thank you! I have a trap and the pigs learned already how to eat my corn and open the gate. One goes in, others push the door from inside to release their buddy and they take turns. Those rascals are very smart. Thank you for your video! Keep up the good work!!!

Appreciate the compliment. I’ve been busy but have some new trapping videos coming soon and a tutorial on how to make round traps.

I havent done any more yet. I’ll show the hatches and the area around the console. Give me about a month. Just got more carpet in.

I did not paint the wood. I used a clear wood seal for the planks and I used cherry stain for the trim. I put a 2nd coat of sealer on the whole smoker once I finish staining

@@outdoordiy4884 thanks

@@outdoordiy4884 I'm coming back for more clarification if you don't mind because my English is not good enough. That wood seal is not having some smell? Because I think is some chemical coat based on water and is having some chemical smell. And that smell is not going through smoked meat? Sorry for disturbing you but I just build one wood smokehouse based on your clip and I try to find some solution to protect that wood. Thanks

Don’t coat the inside with anything. Leave it natural. The outside wood use a clear polyurethane. Or a good wood sealer. Or stain it. The inside will take care of it’s self once you run the smoker. Run the smoker without food for a few hours. It will seal itself on the inside

Worst case. Put some Thomason water seal on the outside. Don’t put any chemicals inside the smoker.

Screen door spring. There are 2 sizes at lowes. I like the smaller diameter one. I get a lot of requests for the larger ones. Buy both and try them. They cost 4$.

The carpet didn’t hold up. Use rubber.

Sure can. When I get back home Saturday I’ll add it.

@@outdoordiy4884 Thank you soo much sir. Really appreciate it.

Anytime.

Roberts 6500 adhesive. Got it from Home Depot

Thank you Cornelius

After I put the notch for the spring I cut it down to 3/4”. From angle iron to top of pin. I also round the top of the pin with my grinder.

@@outdoordiy4884 the measurement from the top left corner of the door to the top right of the door. What would be the measurement from the top left to yhe pin

I hope I’m understanding your question. From the top left corner of the door to the pin that is on the door is 16 1/2”. From the pin on the left front corner of the trap to the door pin is 17 1/2”.

@@outdoordiy4884 thanks thats what i need to know

Was 450. Now with the cost of iron I’m at 500$.

Started selling them at $425 then around August I had to go up to $450 and currently I’m at $500 because iron cost just shot up again. I follow the iron market prices. Trying not to exceed where I’m at.

Another idea would be if you decided to use a guillotine drop door . You could make the entire back panel or front panel removable , if someone wanted to upgrade it into a corral trap to catch a whole group. and would leave more room to upgrade to remote triggers and cellular trail cameras.

Do the coons mess with your bait. No matter how stinky I make it, the coon are all over it. Sometimes they set the trap off.

@@outdoordiy4884 ​ Oh yea I used to. Raccoons are opportunistic omnivores which means there really isn't much they will turn down , as long as its free and easy they will eat it . I try to bait an area for coons with leg hold traps or even cage traps . to clear out the problem causers before hand or even during . Sardines and cheap dry catfood for bait. The best way to avoid unwanted animals, though, is to change your trigger to a root bar or a trip wire.. This way you can adjust the height and sensitivity better. I prefer a root bar and a Guillotine drop door. Once i switched to that set up , i almost never catch anything other than hogs, and can usually catch a few at a time with a trap you size .

piglets too small to eat, coons , possums , and any other unwanted meats or scraps all go into the meat grinder, and are either used for a maggot farm for the chickens or cooked up for the dog food .

Ive been making this style trap for 12 years. Can build them with my eyes closed. I hope you are very successful with them. Thanks again buddy

Now that the hunting season is wrapping up. It’s time to start catching pigs and processing the deer my family harvested. So those will be a few videos and cooking real people style. Not the cooking shows way. Appreciate you Sam. What part of the state you hunt.

@@outdoordiy4884 zone 4, have a 300 acre lease in east Baton Rouge area in Baywood.

Will be doing a smoked sausage video soon and I normally throw a chicken or roast in the smoker while I do that. So bare with me and I will have plenty of smoke house videos. Even will do my favorite and simple smoked hamburgers. Thanks 87.

Awesome lookin forward to it brother. I’ve got a weekend project to get started on now. Lol I gotta have me one of these 👍🏼
