The new building is separate from the old garage by about 5'.
Current box in the old garage is 100 amp with a place for up to 60 amp breaker to run my new garage.
CODE means nothing in this area I live, at least no one else is going to give me grief if this isn't done buy the book. I have talked to the power company friend of mine who is also an electrician. Also to a local electrician, who is planning on coming over tomorrow to see what I have. Over the phone with him this morning, Jason says I can tap into the 3 wire line at the top of my mast and run it over to the new building, bypassing the old garages breaker BOX. In this case I may need to get a different box for the new garage, that has a main breaker already installed. I guess maybe I jumped the gun with the box I purchased and installed, WTH it's only 35.00 I guess. At any rate I am trying to avoid doing the 4 wire run between the buildings as that would then require me to install a 4 wire cable to my air compressor.....grrrrrr...already have a 3 wire on hand for that.
And I now understand what's the deal with the neutral and ground busses....but this new box I have installed now only has a neutral buss....with a screw to tie the buss to the box if need be, in this case it will be connected and the #4 copper wire will also be ran to the neutral buss from my NEW ground rod....
Having said all this, I know you want to throw the book at me, lol, but why won't this work with a 3-wire overhead to my new building IF I replace this box with a 100amp box and breaker?

In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
