    You Know You Are Old When

    Speaking of keeping old clothes, I bought a pair of Tony Lama boots in 1965. I went to the Lama store in El Paso and this nice guy helped me pick out a pair. I was a college student and he directed me to a nice pair that were reasonably priced. I took them to check out and the cashier said “do...

    Your last generator Maintenance Run

    I installed a 8kW Generac 10 or so years ago and it served us well for all that time. But 8kW has it’s limits as it would not power the AC, oven, shop or other large draws. We are getting older and decided to up grade to a 22kW which will power everything. Well, in the 8 months since I...

    Loader hoses

    If a tire blows, it probably won’t kill you. If a belt breaks, it won’t kill you. If a loader hose fails, it might kill you. I’m not willing to take that risk.

    Loader hoses

    I got all 12 hoses installed, new UDT2, filters and screen cleaning. Considering that I’m 78 and only do 30 to 40 hours a year, its the last time ill have to do it again.

    Loader hoses

    I got my hose “kit” for my B7800 today. They look good and everyone is an exact match for length and fitting. $145.00 delivered for 8 hoses!

    What bugs/diseases/critters have ya'll seen that weren't around 30-40 years ago?

    Three or 4 years ago, the local population of Black Tailed Hares (Jackrabbits) developed hemorrhagic fever and it almost killed all of them off. Last year a saw a couple and this year I see them every day.

    Yes, they store hundreds of commercial and military planes out here. Must be a reason for that.

    Loader hoses

    So how do you explain the lack of deteriorated rubber, paint and trailer roofs in the desert after 20 years. Are the 2 pieces of equipment identical or is one built with lesser quality? Maybe the air quality in Philly is really bad for some products. Take your best shot.

    Loader hoses

    OP here. Even though my tractor has been outside in the desert at 3500 msl for 20 years, the hoses still look to be in good shape. No rust (this is the desert) and no cracking or discoloration. The paint while shows some fading is still reasonably good. Never been polished or waxed. I’ve...
