When my kids where first learning to split wood I would take duct tape and wrap it around the collar of the handle of my mauls and sledge hammers . After a day of splitting they would bring them back and the tape would be all beat up but the handle would be intact. I bought a steel handled...

5lb. Rack of lamb ,Mash taters.

Makes you think with the big guy standing there and the two little girls loading the trailer for him. 🍻

put a magnet on it lower grade ss is slightly magnetic. higher grade is not magnetic at all. 🍻

Couldn't be a ram it was running. 🍻

Keep us in the loop on that one. Old truckers never die they just get their Peter bilt. Perfect for a glider kit. 🍻

When I was a kid we all had pos cars and trucks had a 383 road runner paid $500 bucks for went through a quart of oil a week . Same thing on a 73 blazer,78bronco,and 69 camaro . I used to add a quart of oil a week in just about all of them . I called them [self changers] you added so much new...

I'd much rather read this than some of the other soap opera threads. Fuel to the fire { Galaxy turfs are the best tire ever made } Or at least they make your tractor look realy cool Even if they have no traction.

lou have you ever had a pull snowblower before? Wonder how good they are in deep snow ? You beeing in the snow belt, I guess you should be a expert. What type is best for deep snow. 🍻

The milage on the truck should stated when people talk about good a engine is . Makes me laugh when people say it was a great engine I got 60,000 trouble free miles on it .that should be bare minium on a truck that cost 60,000 $$$.It's not even out of warrenty. I use to put on 60k in a year...

The ford v10 is knowned for getting 4 -5 hundred thousand miles on them . My son drives my old one to work daily . 435,000 and climbing. Still people say modular engines stink.🍻

Oh yea dodge sucked so bad they had to change there name to ram. 🍻

I'd get a cummins motor as long as it wasn't in a dodge pos. 🍻

There is no auto 4wd on a tc35d with hst 2wd or 4wd only.. If you have a loader raise wheels off ground then shift. Probably wheels are in a bind. 🍻

No body wants to work . They are getting 1,000 a week to stay home . I had 75 interviews lined up since dec. 5 showed up , 5 hired. 2 showed up for work . 1 quit after 4 hrs. 1 stayed on he's a decent worker . Layed off a girl last sept. still hasn't got a job yet . She said she was making...

Tracks to the wall 🍻

I aw one of those split in half just like that a long time ago on the side of 80. It was brand new with the dealer sticker still on window . It had a load of lumber on it that would push a 1 tons limits . I was driving past it at 70 mph but they looked like 12" 2 x stacked about to the top of...

plenty of tractor junk yards around . tc35 and simular modles were very popular should be fairly easy find. Try long lane in PA. they are a ford and NH only junk yard. 🍻

If he could do that for a 1/4 mile they'd pay good money to see that at Englishtown. 🍻

If you get lucky and find a decent used mini cheap you could use it for a year or two then sell it for the same price or more after your finished with it. Just good luck on finding a good deal. 🍻

Good job (y) If you could give a quick sinopous of what type of paint and process you used it might be helpful to the next guy.🍻

difference is when a slush box goes on a 3/4 ton truck it's a 5k rebuild and a clutch cost under a grand. Not on that manual car list was a corvette .I must be getting old I remember when I bought my vet the dealer showed me a auto I said you gotta be kidding me . Everybody with real...

I always hated them every time we got a company truck that was an extended cab it was a struggle to get back there.The first Superduty came out with it in 99. I ordered one in end of 97 my build date was jan. 98 . Arrived april 98. When I ordered it sat in dealer and got every option avaible...

every glass and granite company has outriggers on their pickups and van's like that . the problem is that there is no middle support and rebar is not tied down properly. max width is 102 " around here . Definitly under that . 🍻

That's probably what it cost off the show room floor. The problem with those extended cabs the back door don't open. I t's a nightmare getting things in and out . Much less any person bigger than a toddler. But it's shure clean. 🍻

I take all these articles with a grain of salt . You can never belive what information they are giving you is correct . Espically the point that ford and international worked together since 1994 . Ford offered a 6.9 international engine in 1983 then they bored it out to 7.3 1987 . I...

Sad story I don't wish anybody bad luck with thier 6.0 but staying on top of it and making shure the engine oil temp and the coolant temp stays within a few degrees of each other is a good barometer of the health of your engine. 🍻

B. S. My mason bought a brand new 6.0 dump from a dealer in Mass. on the way home from the dealer it blew a head gasket . they put him in a motel till they could switch over the body and gave him another new one. That truck blew a head gasket 5,000 miles after warrenty was up . his father...

That when the 7.3 's came out and there still running. gm 6.2 came out in 82. 🍻

If you want to talk about the biggest pos diesel engine ever produced don't forget the GM 5.7.:poop:

It might be me but I thought I saw a Jasper sign on the head rebuilding video.:giggle:🍻

I just got a manual v10 a year ago with 90,000 original miles. There out there you just gotta look . There usally gone in one day . Just lost a dually V10 stick Lariet Le cause it was a 3 hr. drive and I couldn't make it during the week .🤬 Been trying to buy another 7.3 or v10 but a...

Some how I don't think OASHA has visited there in a while. Must be nice. 🍻

My neighbor gave me a 99 7.3 plow truck with the frame totaly rusted out . Engine only has 85,000 original miles . :cool: With the way used truck prices are now I,ve seen people asking 7-10 grand for a truck like that.😲 It's crazy Trucks with 7.3 and low milage and good condition are...

Can't point out any manufacture on the rut thing . Ford GM dodge they all rust Bad!!! My biggest grief is that you can spend 100,000 k on a new pickup and you can't even get stainless steel brake lines .☠️ Their more worried about the latest electronic wiz bang sh-- and tail gate ladders and...

What condition and shape ? Have cash.🍻

Another vote for TSP and bleach best cheapest all around cleaner.🍻

7.3 Junk from factory ? I got 2 with over 400,000 mile on them and are daily drivers . I'll buy junk like that all day. 🍻

I felt like Beluishi in Animal house when the the guy trips down the stairs and drops the case of scotch. If anybody know how to post that next to the beer truck on fire that would be hilaurious . 🍻

If you just changed fluid you can have air in lines Etc. or worse water got mix up and went through pump wich will kill it . Sometime the dial under seat which controls the speed of rear lift arms on 3 point is turned to loose . when I had very noisy and weak hydros the pump fried from water...

90 % of our work is SS mostly for food and pharmaceutical industry. If you wan't your welds to look pretty as stated by dstig1 use only stuff dedicated for stainless ie SS wire brushes flap wheels , zip wheels etc. SS walks like a sob. Clamp it tight and don,t put too much heat in one area...

I paint my mower deck every year when I put it away for the winter . Nothing special wash off grass let dry. touch up with what ever rattle can i have tha'ts half empty. Top of deck I touch up with simplicity orange. Bought tractor in 98 not a spot of rust on deck.🍻

Afriend of mine has a huge landscapeing company 100 employes and says he gets 2x to 3x the life out of a Kawi as he does a Briggs and the Briggs usually gets between 1k to 2k Hrs. He will only buy equipment with Kawi or Honda motors on it.🍻

If your just useing it for landscape work and construction why don't you just buy a machine that was ment to do that kind of work a JD 310 ? Way out perform any machines you listed for the same money if you buy used.🍻

I just purchased a nh 758c hoe and want to install a hydraulic thumb. To save time instead of fabbing up my own I was looking into buying a thumb and cylinder pre made. It seems that there are 2 choices cheap around 300$ for a mild steel thumb with no travel in hydro cylinder or expensive...

Just like the title says does y2k =hydro because from what I can see there are very few hydro cut pre 1999. Also I guess the cut itself was in it infancy then because there were only 2 major players then JD and NH Kubota tractors where far and few inbetween. I realy like the early vintage...

Just like title says I had my kid [18] digging out stumps from pine trees that died a few years ago due to needle cast . I guess he was back dragging or pulling with bucket curled and hit another tree root .He's usually pretty good on it because he's been on equiptment since he was 10.I usually...
