Equipment blooper thread

[TSO]

TSO's blooper isn't shown in the pics. Ask him how much he was paid to do that yard job. D)

?????

TSO, bad joke from the peanut gallery? (House in pics looks uh familiar, so...)

Apologies that respect felt isn't shown by cheesy wise-crack. Admire your work, posts, and impressed that you get so much done without breaking more or bigger stuff. (I could show you a few things ... :laughing

btw, broke that hitch pin tab on the BB again and might should have asked you weld it up for me and get it right for once. (tried my hand again, doubt if I'll catch up) Only broke that stump bucket (my 'default' now except for snow removal or moving big piles) when a poor factory weld broke out. My welding there is 'so far, so good' & if i can bust it again I'll show the damage/repair here. :tractor: tog

Don't have many pics of the old Erie dragline (sold 5 yrs ago), esp when the boom-hoist spool didn't stop and 35' of it went 'over the top'. (explains the crinkled cab pillars when I bought it) Could have made a great video from the cab of nearly having a 1/2 yd drag bucket & bridle for lunch and more than once. :mur:

Got the o'sized 'heavy lift' FEL (Allied 495) working on the big Deere. With BIG cyls & extra front o'hang (not 'S' model for short wheelbase) I'm set to test/break a front 2WD spindle. (Just give me a chance ...)

Hey, not to worry... I figured you were kidding around, but the joke went over my head. I'd have only put one "?" in my response, but apparently there is a 5 character minimum for responses. So, the "5 ?'s" may have seemed excessive, but it wouldn't let me put any less LOL.

Regarding welding, I've gotten alot of practice in since last time and my welds are getting real nice... Bring that back sometime and we'll get it all fixed up.

TSO I saw you're welding progress a tractor of so ago, when you built that 'cab', and was duly impressed by the caliber of your fab work. :thumbsup:

Managed a small 'oopsie' already today. Was doing some of this:


... and managed to acquire this:

(Wasn't that blade of grass that did it ..)

... because in 15 yrs of driving trucks, tractors, T5C, and the golf cart over it on the 2-track I never noticed this:

(little 'oops')
Guess I'm a tire repair away from that 'big break' I predicted, but give me time. :laughing:

I ducked, the ROPS didn't.

Silly rops lol, bet that slowed the tractor down quick.

That reminds me of an oops with the cedar tree cutter that the ROPS saved me from a bump on the head.

Couldn't drive out from under it. When the tractor moved forward or reverse the tree moved with it.

This is what happens when you tie up the discharge deflector on your mower deck to keep it from getting clogged when cutting high grass, but there's an unseen landscaping rock in that made its way into that high grass.

I'll add a pic later.
Driving up the driveway in 4th gear, High range, turned at the end of the driveway to run down next to the ditch to a field. FEL is longer than I thought. Hit a telephone pole with the bucket. Stopped the tractor RIGHT NOW! lol
Bucket is still bent.

Awesome deer blind.
