been there, done that. its a lot of work but can be done. if you want to reuse all the material, you need to mark everything as to location and write it down.tin also, mark where each piece goes so you can reuse the old nail holes. to pull the nails off the tin, i make slide hammer pullers from pairs of long handle end nippers. get some bar stock about 3 inch in diameter, maybe 6 to 8 inches long, drill a hole thru he center so you can slide the weight over a length of 1/2 inch or 5/8 round stock, weld this to one handle of the nippers. weld a nut on the end of the rod for a stopper. to use, grasp the nail head with the nippers, and slide hammer the nail out. about 2-3 whacks will pull the nails, and it does not damage the tin. the ends of the trusses are usually bolted and nailed with 60 penny ring shank nails. wast of time to try and pull the 60 penny, just grind the heads off the nails, the truss will slip righ off them. to bring the tin down off the roof, we used a long extension ladder, pulled a tractor up near the roof with the loader up, then lay the ladder on the loader, back over the then tractor, so the back end of the ladder is behind the tractor on the ground, then slide the tin down the ladder, that way it wont bend. i didnt cut the poles off, i used a skid loader to pull the poles, shake em a little with the bucket, run water around the hole and they pull straight up. for the roof purlins, we put a couple 4x4 poles chained to the loader bucket, nail some 2x4's across so it looks kind of like a ladder, then a couple 2x4's across the top. raise the contraption up uner the end of each purlin at the truss and lift the loader, it will pop the 30 penny nails right out with the purlin.

Today's Featured Article - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
