Maybe so, but you will notice there is not as much quicksand now as there was in all the TV shows from the 60s and 70s. Definite proof of a warming trend.

Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit!

Yep, and guess what, the parts are going to be expensive.

Just wait, it will sell.

I did not read all the threads, so not sure if this angle has been covered. If it has done it in the past and can’t do it now, then either the load has changed or the generator has changed. Most likely scenarios is that the fuel in the genny is crap. pull the carb bowl and look at the fuel, most...

I have a 2 hour minimum at my fab shop. $250 minimum repair cost. That said, I generally fix my friends and neighbors stuff free. I had one friend who insisted that he pay. I told him what the minimum charge was, he was a lot less insistent, and very grateful.

My first tractor was an 8N. It had tons of things wrong with it. Mostly labor and new gaskets and seals. It was a fun project. I used it to maintain my road and for work at my cabin. That FEL is a monster to steer with a load in the bucket. I eventually took mine off and sold it. A rear scoop is...

It is easy to tell a lot of you guys have never really used an anvil. Mild stell doesn’t cut it for heavy use. A couple weekends a tear, no problem. I have owned maybe a dozen. The anvils with tool steel tops are vastly superior to soft tops. My current anvil is a 275# Trenton with a tool...

I am hoping to find a 5/8"x4"or5" edge to use. The original has bent up sides, which I like, but don't...

I got this box blade when I bought my tractor. It is very near a Gannon, but some of the parts don't quite match. It has a round front tube, and the linkage is quite different. There is lettering on the sides B---R. The on lat word I can come up with is Bexar, as in Bexar Texas. Could make...

I am trying to find some lift link and leveling box for my case 530, or if anyone know of a different brand that fits. Thanks,

Some years ago I sold the '48 Ford 8N that I used around my house. I had it up at my place in the mountains, but it was not heavy enough to do work up there. Also with the well worn motor, it barely had enough guts to pull itself up the mountain, much less a load of dirt. I also sold my Cat...
