Blessing that your friend wasn't seriously hurt or killed. If his hands had slipped off the boom and he went headfirst between the boom and the outrigger, with his leg caught on the levers, the hoe would have crushed him and more than likely killed him. This is a lawsuit in the making for that...

I can't confirm this because I never chased an answer. But I think my County has a restriction on how close my sewer effluent can be to my property line. Otherwise, no one cares. I live in a large County with 8,000 residents. I'm 75 minutes from a "City". :)

I thought Moss gave very good reasons.

My shop doors are 12x12. I have to lower the boom on my hoe to get it in. I didn't want to spend the money to raise the building another 2ft to gain a 14ft tall door. Again, in the OP's case all he did was redraw the door openings. This is based on his comment and his drawings. So in his...

In the OP's case he simply made the hole larger, not the building. I totally agree with that philosophy. All it cost him is the additional cost of the door size. I had two 7x9 doors in my previous house garage. I hated them. But in that case I didn't have a choice. When we built this time...

Absolutely Kenny. Good on you for how you've handled this. Thanks for the thread!!! :cool:

Yeah Kenny is definitely my choice for a neighbor. 👍

I'm pro Starlink. Getting phone signal or WiFi from towers or cable is antiquated. In 2004 I talked on a Cell phone in the middle of the Iraq desert. Sattelite all the way. Problem is our government still wants to throw money at towers and cable. My small local phone company received a $15M...

The spin out I showed is '00 with 280K miles. Won't auto engage anymore. Both are original. Moderate use. Your entire wheel hub assembly is different. Glad you were able to get it apart. Hope the replacement serves you well!!!

Not trying to spot you, just generally, what part of Colorado are you in? We Jeep there a lot. Have a "Brother" that lives in Alamosa. Wife's family live in Springs and Littleton.

I just mean, this thread is 13 days old. The tree is gone. Actually blocked up for fire wood. The costs for repair have been determined. The OP is well on his way to fixing his building. There's no litigation or even discussion going on as to how it's being settled. I think he handled it...

Never have gotten a private contractor's bid for anything. After thinking about this for a couple seconds, I've never gotten a private contractor's bid for ANYTHING. In my catastrophic claim the insurance company and I agreed on a settlement and it was over. I never felt like we were "taking...

As does ours. Rightfully so.

Good post. This condition has to at some time stall the new home build market. I haven't saw any slow down here yet. Being rural our choices of builders is small. The good ones are booked out two years. $500 p/sqft is completely undoable for me. I struggled with $120 p/sqft. A small...

Did you read more than the first post of this thread? :)

My build is absolutely legitimate. I hold myself to some standards. As do my neighbors. :)

We have a lot of old abandoned hand dug wells. ;)

My wife and I have been together 20yrs. She's a "city" girl. Never lived anywhere that didn't have restrictions or codes. I was living on 20 acres with house and shop when we got together. We lived there 15 years. Then we built our house and shop here on our farm. She was very concerned...

The most worrisome thing you said was that it had this overheating problem when he bought it. Since he has no mechanical knowledge, I'm guessing he was told it had a good water pump, good thermostat, good radiator. If the thermostat is not opening, the engine will get hot and the top radiator...

We had a construction loan for 10 months. We had to pay the interest on whatever the balance that we had drawn by the end of each month. We sold our property that we lived on at the 8th month and applied all of that to the construction loan. So our "building finance costs" were pretty cheap...

I'm excited for you. Looking forward to random updating posts. That property will occupy a lot of your "free" time. Which is the goal. Perfect!!! :cool:

That is very cool. Never saw one before. You'd need a growler low reverse. His setup is perfectly timed.

Yep. By looking at your plans the columns won't be so bad.

Yep. We'll never sell our land.

Sounds like a good ending!!!! What year truck is this?

Yeah, Warns and Milemarkers are multi piece spin outs. The primary gear is drilled and tapped. It is also held in place by a snap ring. Screws hold the outer mechanism to the primary gear. But still pretty easy to disassemble.

Yep. You are being liberal. Well,,,, I guess if I include the time to retrieve the screw driver and take the pics and reassemble. :) My '02 is the same kind. I replaced the factory spin outs with Milemarkers on it. They take a bit longer to install but still very easy. We must have...

Here's a factory spin out on a '00 F250. First pic is after removing the chrome lug nut cover. Second pic is after removing the "snap ring" that holds the spin out to the wheel hub. Third pic is with the spin out removed. Only tool required was a large screw driver to pop off the chrome nut...

The factory spin outs are plastic. I'm just not sure what caused the break? And I can't figure out the issue of removing the gears? Nor drilling holes?

Yep. I totally understand that. Just explaining to the unknowing that a container is going to sweat dependent on location. Here in Missouri, definitely.

I should have read down and "quoted" your post rather than "Thing's". :)

My all steel machine shed isn't anywhere near tight. Easily ventilates around the two sliding doors. In the Spring/Fall it sweats. After all, it's a pop can. Same with containers. Geographic location will provide different results.

I've had mine apart over the years but not sure what I'm looking at? And what caused it to break?

Dad had a two row mounted Oliver corn picker. Used a 77 for the tractor. It was a great innovation. He did a LOT of custom work with it. Imagine only pull type pickers and/or combines. You have two choices. Tromp down a LOT of corn opening a field. Or hand shucking a LOT of corn opening...

That's awesome!!! Thanks for the clarification!! Made me smile!!! 😎

Guide me.

I just moved my property insurance to State Farm. Now you give me pause. I'll approach this with more diligence. Any suggestions to the questions I should ask to verify validity of the company?

That's what I want. A pocket size that shines 20-30 ft. How many lumen is the one in the pic?

Yeah, that's my concern. 😐

If you know where to start. Guess I need to educate myself to the conversion. For example what's a comparable wattage measurement of 70 Lumens?

That's funny in a not so funny way. But still funny!!! :)

Replied to your PM and completed contact page info on your website. 7/8" is correct. 11 1/4" center of port to center of port. Thanks Brian!!!

Totally understand. :) For my application on the Kubota I use the tilt cylinder more than the top cylinder. My most used attachment is a Box Blade. Allows me to cut slope. The Ford just has a top cylinder. It's most common use is with a rear blade. The blade has a tilt cylinder. My...

Brian, here's some pics I took. Of course I'm hydraulic fitting ignorant. I don't recall the size or type of cylinder ports. If you can't figure it out by the pics I'll do some more research. I probably have the receipt for the cylinders. I bought them from Supply House and then modified...

Great addition to any tractor. Next you're gonna be wanting a tilt cylinder. Makes hookups using a Quick Hitch much easier. We'll need pics of course. :)

I'm still a T-shirt or sweatshirt guy. But I did evolve to carpenter jeans and/or carpenter shorts. My wife learned early on to search the cargo pockets before washing. Did you know you can wash a Sharpie and it don't leak or stain the clothes??? I was impressed. My wife scolded me. :)

I need a replacement light to store in my small items drawer in the rolling tool chest. After standing there looking at several choices, completely confused, I just walked off. The whole lumen thing means nothing to me. I need to confer with my mechanic Son regarding what I might need. Those...

Sorry for the loss of your Dad. Would give me a very comfortable feeling to have my Dad's tools in my shop. You were Blessed!!! And then there's those that complain about having to "clean up" their Dad's stuff. :)

Yep, that's my goal. Found a two pack. One will go on the tractor, one on the welding bench.

Thanks for the research Lou!!! I'm getting me one!!! :cool:

I'll figure it out tomorrow. Thanks Brian.

We'll see what Brian has to offer. He's the expert in my opinion and trust whatever he says.

Yes please.

Mind boggling simple and easy. Push the loops apart. Nothing to it. I've used this method dozens of times. I always have to think about it for a couple seconds to get them intertwined properly. And I always smile and chuckle when I take them apart. :)

Thanks!!!! Being in the boonies, I'll start my online search there!! :)

I need one of those in my tractor tool box. I'm gonna search for one. Thanks.

Brian can better discuss adding a control valve. I'd like to add one to the top cylinder on my Kubota. I'm not sure where to get the hardware and if it's cost effective.

Fortunately it's stayed North of me in Northern Missouri. We haven't received 12" all Winter. This last blast that went across Northern US missed us completely.

Dang it, we were just getting started on this subject.....

I think they were using a non stretch strap. But I'm not positive about that. If so, getting a run at it caused extreme pull force on the hitch for just a micro second. Stretch straps or ropes are designed to be used in a "get a run at it" situation. They soften that micro second extreme...

I suspect the failure would be moumtimg bolt shear, or tearing holes in the frame. The loop itself will most likely exceed those two possibilities.

Here's a pic of connecting two looped ropes/straps without iron.

I'm not getting it. Obviously the system knows I'm too stupid to be anything but a real person.....

Pretty sure it will.

I've offroaded for 40 years. Experienced hundreds of stucks. Bought my first stretch rope in 1975. Our group now carry a dozen of them. 1. Both vehicle drivers should always lay over in the seat just before impact. Get their heads below line of sight. 2. Avoid mixing items if at all...

I use a diverter on my LP rear blade. Very cheap multiplier.

Sorry to hear of your problems. Wish I had some magic words to throw your way but I do not. Thanks for taking time to update us. We're with you in spirit and thought.

I had been contracting my propane because I would need filled during peak price months. When I installed my larger tank one of the things the clerk at the propane office advised was that I won't need to contract as much. And if I manage my use and fills a little I can always buy when it's...

All suppliers here have that "program". But in the dead of Winter with storms approaching that gives me little comfort. The only supplier that can keep up is the one with a small customer list. I can't express how my stress level changed regarding propane when I doubled my storage capacity...

It's an example of integrity. Integrity is what you do when no one is watching.

Some tractors, well, most tractors 50hp or smaller aren't offered with 3. Not sure about yours. If offered, get it.

I have TnT and I also have a BB with hydraulic scarifiers. I also have a 15' batwing brush cutter with individually folding wings. I unhook my TnT and use all three remotes operating the brush cutter. Usually owners with TnT use a Quick Hitch. If so, it leaves a third remote open. In my...

Well, to go with your silly comment, maybe one for washing the tractor.

If you plan to use a hydraulic top link and/or a hydraulic side link, get 3 rear remotes if possible. You'll wish you had.

I've had DeWalt 18V tools since 2009. In the last 18 months I've started transitioning to Milwaukee. The current 18V Milwaukee tools are leaps and bounds ahead of my old DeWalt 18V tools. The attention to details is much better. I have no experience with the current 20V DeWalt tools so can't...

As happens often, this has changed three times since I paid attention. Started with Makita. Then DeWalt. Now Milwaukee. Seems like the followers study the current leader and improve on their design to take the lead. Capitalism at it's finest. And we the customer benefit. :)

Thanks for your assistance as always Brian!!! :cool:

Well, evidently, based on your assessment of the need for a top link, your use has been very limited. :)

No they don't. Trying to remember specifically what personal information is asked,,,, gender and age is all I can think of. You get a code that you write on the receipt and bring it back to the store. They look at the receipt, enter the code, $10 off your items being purchased. Has to be...

That's awesome!!!! Yes you should. I firmly believe in rewarding businesses that save me money. I shop at the local Farm and Home store exclusively, small town, no choices. Couple weeks ago I bought something and as I was paying and visiting with the cashier whom I know, as she handed me the...

My supplier only charges $36 p/yr rental fee. I rented for several years. They will only rent 500 gal tanks. Now we use 1100-1200 gallons p/yr. Had some spare cash so bought a used 1K tank last Fall. Got a smoking deal at $500 for the tank. Had it sandblasted and painted for another $500...

I decided to add a DPCV top link to my Ford. I ordered one thru Amazon. $270-ish. Ordered it yesterday. Will get it Friday.

I also added tilt to my Kubota. At the time of installing it I added a Quick Hitch. I've never took them off in the last 11 years. I think the cost justification has to be a personal thing. Some members here rarely use their 3pt or maybe only use it in limited situations. If a member uses...

I own my above ground 1K gallon tank so can shop wherever. Not sure I understand the vaporization rate issue? I've never saw a problem that I know of. I agree with "out of the way". But sounds like you still have above ground plumbing to mow around? For me, I can't justify burying the tank.

As you previously mentioned, it's hard to put into words. If I had never used one I'd want to remain blissfully unknowing. Having used one for 12 years, I'll never be without.

I use a hyd top link on my Ford. TnT on my Kubota. A tractor without either is very limited. Both is the way to go if your tractor can support them. Post pics of your setup when you are done.

I like the boards. It makes my imagination wonder what caused them to be there?

I've never considered underground. The sight of the tank doesn't bother me. Around here used tanks are going for $1.50 p/gallon. New tanks are $6 p/gallon.

They sure made solid buried bunkers. Can't judge their ability to take a direct hit though.

See,,,,, I did not know that.

Yeah, that looks like a LOT of plow for the tractor. :cool:

In the beginning of container design I don't think anybody dreamed they would eventually cross the pond, several times. Matter of fact, I know where 3 are buried in the Desert as armored bunkers. I'd give anything to have the lease contract on those!!!! :)

I "heard" that if you throw an M80 up on top of the Lion's Club building on main street the flash will put out all the street lights on main street for 10-15 minutes.

Excellent post. I have the Bo Derek Playboy issue. I agree concerning selling rather than giving away. I had a huge collection of cans in my shop that burned. Shelves all over the walls. Organized by brand. Surprising how many varieties of Mountain Dew cans there have been. My collection...

Bummer.... Dove story. My first tour in Iraq I lived outside the first 4 months, thru the Summer. Had my cot under a small grove of trees. Doves roosted in them. Was very comforting to hear them come to roost and leave roost. One had a very gravelly voice. We all became good friends...

I haven't used chains on my RTV, even though I have two sets that would fit. I bought them to use on my JD SCUT. The ones I bought are 2 link ladder style ice chains. If I were buying again, I'd forgo the "ice" part. Ice chains have a sharp V welded to each crossbar link. Extreme traction...

It's been around for a long time. I don't think any restrictions are coming. Surprises me.

Unique plow for sure!!!

As long as they aren't buying a replacement. (y)

I don't have a feeder but have doves and no pheasants. 3 or 4 days ago a dove was sitting in their nesting tree calling for a mate. They've nested in that tree for 10 years that I know of.

Me too. I'm driving old iron. But it's good iron. And I'm old. So, there's that going for me.

I did not know that. I'll remember that!!!

As you should.

If I remember right mine is an 07' model.... You are wayyyyyy ahead of me on hours. Just guessing, I'm somewhere around 800hrs. I put new front axle boots on last Fall. Guessing I probably tore them running thru brush but can't verify that. The RTV is a specialty work class vehicle.

I'll just stick with logic thank you. :)

Not at any time have I called you a liar little boy. :) I don't see any 30' trees in the pic other than the perimeter trees in the background. But if it floats your boat, go for it. :)

In regards to the end result, an offset bears little resemblance to a tandem. I consider an offset to be a plow. I consider a tandem to be a finish tool. That's a heavy duty offset. I agree with Jim. It's got some serious hours on it.

As in mowing 30' trees??? :ROFLMAO:

The one that says he cleared acreage of 30' tall trees with mowing should prove it. :) You guys crack me up. :)

They are an acquired taste. Mine isn't noisy enough to bother me. The shifter takes some patience. The brake pedal activates a hydraulic dump of pressure in the trans. This takes a second. Once you learn to hesitate you don't even notice it. From the factory they are very jerky when...

I'm not sure whether Missouri does or not. But I do. Extremely prolific. And pretty. Lures us in with those charming good looks..... ;)

You mowed 30' tall woods???? You are a magician too!!! 🤪

The most important thing to me is velocity at the filter element. The dirtier the filter the higher the velocity thru the portion that still allows air transfer. The faster the velocity the less effective the filter element can be. By design the intent is to dramatically slow the velocity in...

That's because you are a magician!!! :)

Excellent post.

I "reported" this post Fuddy. Hopefully the response will be to help you move the thread. An awesome thread. Brings the kid out in all of us!!!! 🙂

Big money always wins.

Fuddy, might I suggest you look into moving this thread off Front Porch?? A LOT of members don't come here. Maybe move it to rural living? I don't know how to do that, but if it were me and I wanted to do that, I'd PM Muhammad and have him move it. Awesome thread and fantastic pieces of...

Wow Fuddy!! What a treasure!!! I am very excited for you and greatly appreciate you sharing these things with us. 98% of which I've never saw before!!!!! :cool:

Funny short story about stud finders. Asked my Son if he had a stud finder. DIL went to the toolbox and came back with one. As she handed it to me she said, "Here's one I bought that might work for you but you see what I got" as she nodded toward my Son.

I did a lot of still pics inside. I also Droned the outside direct overhead. Easy to find my service burials.

Being a Military guy, that's the first thing I looked for. There are several. :cool:

That's awesome!!!!

What an inheritance Fuddy!!!!! Definitely need to be displayed. And they deserve the same quality of care as your Uncle gave them. Thank you very much for starting this thread!!!!

In regards to replacing a piece of machinery/tractor. I think inflation has actually kept things moving. I can sell my 11 year old tractor for what I gave for it new!!! But then I pay an inflated price for a replacement..... No win there at all. But some people don't look that deep.

Don't worry about it. I've never built a house. But you have!!!

As it was on my reaction.

Great story!!! 😎

A JD tech told me a story regarding a township near me. They called for a tech because their machine had lost significant HP. The tech found the breather cannister so full of dirt he could barely pull the filter out. The secondary filter was clogged as well. The engine had caused enough...

You have no idea. Just let it go.

We play the hand we're dealt my friend. Push forward.

I'll be damned, I would have never guessed that!!!! Great pic, thread and story!!!!

You won't see a Ranger doing that. :)

The officiators of any game cannot be removed from the equation. As has been stated many times, mistakes will be made. Were I on the field with a whistle in my mouth and I make a snap decision, I'm sticking with it until proven wrong. As spectators we get all worked up when they can't make up...

It's a bit small,,, but possibly!!!! Thanks for posting these. Not sure I've asked, are you the photographer of these modern pictures?

:)

I've never saw a filter reminder "maxed out". I can only imagine how dirty the filter must be to do that. I also have reservations about that. So,,,, most of the filter element, maybe 70-80% has to be clogged to trigger such a reaction from the reminder. Doesn't that mean that now the...

Who's gaslighting? And while we are on that subject, gaslighting, isn't that a weak position? When a name is made up to describe a position that someone doesn't like? I've never understood that......

Now we are going down a dark conspiracy path. I'll play. If a Ref makes a bad call to further his financial position, and that call costs the actual big money people money, he'll never be heard from again. Deep well somewhere. How's that for a theory? :)

Well,,,,, for sure it's not rim width. That's what's important. How the standard width of the tire is determined can be debated endlessly. People just need to understand that number has nothing to do with rim width. :)

Being an absolute auto nut as a teenager, I built dozens of AMT models!!!! I didn't have this one though....

Another spectacular picture. My imagination goes wild. I'm gonna "steal" this one too Dennis. :cool:

I'm sorry rScotty, that is not correct. The 12.4 equals tread width of the tire. Has nothing at all to do with rim width.

They are a mini ton truck with hydraulic dump. (y)

The RTV is a definite workhorse. I've had an RTV900 for several years. It's a beast. Only has a top speed of 25mph. But ours rarely leaves the farm.

Yep. This is proven when comparing R1 tires to R1W tires. I gained 2" of tread width with an R1W using the same rim that the R1 came on.

12.4x24 / 320/85R24. What is the rim width?

Most important number is the RCI (rolling circumference index) of each tire. If you are changing from an R1 of any size to an R14 you need to be concerned about the RCI. If the R14 doesn't have the same or very close to the same RCI you will be changing the gear ratio of that axle. This can...

Not sure I understand what you are saying? None of the numbers he posted tells you the rim width. Lou did a great job of explaining the numbers posted.

Many, many years ago a member rigged up something similar to what you want to do. Then others chimed in with their variations. Looked like a great idea to me!!!! Anxious to see what you come up with!!!

In your and my World, if man stops pushing against Mother Nature she immediately reclaims her land. When I'm traveling thru areas that have limited natural vegetation I always think about why? Mother Nature can be cruel and those areas prove it.

Mike, I called my Dentist office this morning in Bethany to schedule an appointment for a cleaning. I first called at 0830, no answer. I called again at 0900, no answer. I'm guessing they closed for the day so employees could attend the parade!!!! One of my weather apps says 2-6" of snow...

The "important note" on the first page tells me they don't recommend frequent cleaning for filter longevity reasons. I believe that. A later comment about placing the air nozzle inside the filter, but 6" from the element to blow outward is going to be very hard to do. :)

That could definitely be questionable. No personal experience here.

Truth.

We can't afford the type of filtration that would have zero contamination at the engine. Filter system is designed to only pass small enough particles that are harmless. Blowing out air filters is serious business and can easily ruin a filter. Anyone remember oil bath filter systems? They...

When a Ref throws a flag, and the offending player says yeah I did that, is the Ref still wrong??? 😁

Poison. Contained so nothing bigger than a rat could get to it.

These two things right here.

How bout this idea. Spray a glyphosate on the grass which will kill it. Spread your seed amongst the standing dead grass. It will provide "mulching" benefit. The glyphosate will not harm the broadleaf flowers.

Yep. Mine are that way too. My mix had prairie grasses including blue stem in it. One field is 8 years in. The percentage of blooming flowers has diminished and the percentage of prairie grasses has increased. Fine with me. Blooming flowers start early. Prairie grass heads out late...

Mulch will help. If mulching I'd want even less tillage. Do have a water pump that you can irrigate with?

Not with a high percentage of success. So allowing for a lower percentage of success you will need to elevate the seed population considerably. My "expert" is my Niece's husband. Third generation Sod Farmer. Again I say, the seed should be no deeper than one and a half times the diameter of...

Don't know about experts. But I have 70 acres of these.

Hope Dennis doesn't mind us messing with his pic. I cropped it a little and increased the pixel size a little. Here's my frameable version. :cool:

That's an awesome picture of that house!!!! I'd have that framed hanging in my shop somewhere. :) P.S. The chimney looks like an owl face!!!! :)

Yep. Hard life lesson right there. My Mom's been gone 6 years. I still have questions. So when appropriate I start conversations with my kids/grandkids about things "back then". I think I'll have a huge list of questions when I die. Then I am comforted by the belief that at that moment...

Decades ago it was common here to sprinkle Tordon pellets around a tree on the ground and kill them. Instructions said to sprinkle the circle around the tree at the diameter of the farthest reaching branches because that's where the root tips would be. A lot of innocent trees were killed in...

I would never knowingly plant sunflower seeds of any variety. They are very prolific. Agronomists say sunflower seeds can lay in the soil 30 yrs and still sprout when they are moved to the "right" spot. For giant sunflowers I have experienced that. Not pretty.

Well, Mother Nature doesn't have a culti-packer either. I have scattered seed with a hand crank seeder, then use a steel yard rake and scratch the soil a little to help plant the seed. What species of Wildflowers are you planting? I've got 70 acres of CRP that's Pollinator mix. The mix had...

When I look at old pictures I always look in the background. It's an indication of how these people lived. An indication of their financial position, etc. We are so spoiled. :)

That's how you would handle it, "friendly chat about rats"? For some reason I doubt that. Rats are colony critters. There aren't individual rats just roaming around the countryside looking for a place to live. They only spread because of over population within the colony. My Brother was the...

Ideally,,,, the seed should sprout in the Fall. That gives it a jump start for Spring. But,,,,, that's man's interpretation. Wild plants seed in late Fall/early Winter. Freeze/thaw plants the seeds. Sprouting starts in the Spring. With that theory, you could go to the island and broadcast...

Good attitude Kenny. Makes you a great neighbor. Karma. :cool:

I "give" them very little. I don't own any sportswear. I've never attended a major sporting event. At most I watch one NFL game per year, SB, if I am at all interested in the teams playing. Sunday I turned on the TV at halftime. Used that 20 minutes to eat Supper because I had no interest...

Dennis, my respect for your family heritage value continues to grow. You take this responsibility very seriously. As it should be taken. When you are gone, a lot of this information will be gone. Unless someone in the next generation is willing to take on the challenge. My Mom saw that...

Neighbor had the same contact with my Brother that you would have with your rat infested neighbor.

In Medieval times the players were called Court Jesters. Same with all entertainers. Now we idolize them. And actually let them tell us how we should be running this country. And insulting our flag. The list is endless. WTH?

For the primary purpose of treating fresh cut stumps, nothing can be simpler and easier to manage than this. No mess. No broad kill. I have no idea how many small stumps this bottle will kill. Takes a teaspoon or less.

Tordon RTU is already blue. Easy to see treatment. On a stump 2-3" diameter a teaspoon full is enough. I buy it in Quart squirt bottles. Extremely easy to use versus a product that requires transferring to a usable container. For spraying I prefer Remedy. Have also had good luck with Crossbow.

Yep.

I think that was the point made.

Bummer, great product. Still cheap though.

No. My Brother ignored a rat problem. So bad they migrated 1/4 mile to the neighbor's farm. My Brother got adjusted by the neighbor and took care of the problem....

Was the only good commercial I saw!!! 😎

And I've been saying all along, there are 3 ujoints on my 23 yr old truck with 280K miles that have been greased once. When they were built. Glad you got rid of the problem.

Me too.

You can wear out a vehicle in 2-3K miles?

I always enjoy looking at pictures shot in a shop. You see the darnedest things...... Popgadget, how many used mower blades do you have there? ;) ;)

Yep. Tordon RTU is my go-to for stumps. A quart bottle costs $12-14 and will treat a LOT of stumps. I keep a bottle in my chain box on the tractor.

There is a reason a properly greased ujoint, by your own admission, only lasts 40K miles. Way more going on there than the size of the ujoint. I'm thankful you finally got rid of the problem.

My rule is if it won't start a vehicle after sitting overnight, replace.

How did the roof look? Did it bust the purlin? Puncture the roof metal?

I just noticed I have mole activity by my barn. Never had that before.....

My rule is a road without a ditch is a ditch.

Replace.

In my Insurance World an adjuster comes, offers a cost to repair, we negotiate and come to terms, Insurance writes a check for that amount, I'm on my own. I've never tried to make the insurance company fix my damage. Maybe I'm missing something? :)

And that folks is what's wrong with our country..... :(

If you asked the Eagles players, they would say the Chiefs steamrolled them the second half. Potential maybe, complete game changer, no way. Actually saved the Eagles from being "rolled" some more. :)
