Thanks, have been using it with the loader for 12.5 years.

I lifted up 3ea. 20'x 2' diameter horns (corrugated steel tubes used for drainage ditches and such when you need to cross with a driveway or such). Perfect for the job.

The tires in the previous pic are the original tires,,,

I replaced the fronts about 3 years ago,,, and I replaced the rear tires and wheels this year.
The originals were perfect for over 30 years,,,

A local dealer had the tires and wheels for sale, probably some sort of take-off/swap,,
I am glad I got them,, less concern when the snow starts.

I see the dent in your fuel tank. I had a 1974 464 (45 hp) years ago and I dented mine there too.

And then, sometimes even two sets of forks aren't enough. I was trying to re-seat these tires. In the end I familiarized myself with the magic of starting fluid.

Moved Stairs,

Built these stairs in the shop, and carried wit forks, They are heavier than they look with all PT lumber and first generation composite threads.

I used excavahttp://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/asset.php?fid=466806&uid=19607&d=1508720702tor to reach over Dog Pen and place stairs next to side porch without having to take down fence

Everybody should have an excavator in their suburban driveway!

Breezy Ridge, Breezy Ridge GSMD - Home is not exactly the suburbs. I tell my wife will live too much like those Alaskan reality shows. Just did 8 Turkeys last weekend and and butchered a cow. I'll spare everyone a picture of hanging meat.

Love it! Not sure how I feel about gazeeboes (sp?) but turning one into a giant swing is cool.

Not sure how I feel about eating meat (I do) but admire a man (or woman) who can do the nasty work in this endeavor.
