In before the lock... At the lake we have two neighbors that are contractors. One is a GC, the other does new kitchens, no remodels. I can count the times each of them have made in person visits to their properties at the lake over the past 2 summers on one hand. The times I have seen and talked...

DASHCAM: Box truck crashes into emergency vehicles

The metal skeleton weighed about 350# per the scrapper. The wood cabinet was busted / cut up and might still be providing the homeowner kindling almost year later. Most interesting was some of the specialized fasteners used during the build of that piano. Ugh! To get the skeleton (tuning...

Good point. I've done removals that I sure wish the original builder would have thought about how future owners were ever going to get that out. Most recent was a player piano that was put in a basement before the house was build (1950s). New owner wanted it out of there.

That was my dad! On school snow days (so I'm guessing it was mid 1960s) I would ride with him. People along his route would wait at the end of their driveway for him to bust through the drifts & follow him.

If you don't know who PIMCO is this response to imposing tariffs won't mean much to you. Pimco cuts exposure to long-dated US debt as deficits swell "Pimco has become more hesitant to buy long-term American government debt as the $2tn US bond fund manager frets over “sustainability questions”...

I see. So the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Insurify, and Bankrate are biased sources, whereas your sources are as upstanding as the day is long, have impeccable peer reviews, and are even more remarkable in that they non-existent. Awesome counterpoint! I bet you can post eye popping statements...

Well, that was until you outed yourself as one that only trust biased sources and everything else is ":D :D :D"

Fortunately I keep very detailed spending records and can & will answer that question honestly. but not right now. Have to check in to the coal mines for my shift.

Having seen nothing like the claimed increases, thought I'd ask AI as a non biased non-political, non sensationalized source. The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that auto insurance premiums increased by 20.6% year-over-year in 2024 3 . Insurify data shows that the cost of full coverage...

Hey, let's stick to tariffs & tractors please 😊

A trait of a well rounded individual is accepting constructive criticism without taking it as a personal attach. Me living inside your head rent free is not attacking you.

When you are at retirement age the wise money moves away from aggressive investments toward capital preservation. I'll help you with English once more: Conservative investing is a strategy that aims to preserve the purchasing power of an investor's capital while minimizing risk. So here you...

The August low of 38499 and high of 41585 netted 3086. The trump bump went from opening on 11/5 at 41835 to a high of 44910 on the 29th (and fading fast in December) netting 3075. August was by 11 points.

The market had 42 week ending highs in 2024 prior to 11/6. Matter of fact there's only been one administration in my lifetime in which the market was lower at the end than the beginning. Congrats on your early retirement. With my retirement scheduled in 2025 I've enjoyed the market run-up...

As for merging, there are several factors. What am I driving? Tow vehicle & trailer? I'm merging at the first opportunity. How many semis are in the through lane in front of me? A bunch, I'm staying in the lane that needs to merge for a while. I hardly ever, if ever wait until the last minute...

That's is a wonderful gesture. Was 2nd in line at the stop sign while going straight through a normally busy 2 lane last Wednesday afternoon (t-day traffic making it even worse). The vehicle in front of me wanted to turn left. There was no 2nd line of traffic in our direction. There was a long...

No, the Mexican government brought up the gun issue in response to the tariffs threat. I just passed it along because it continues to be overlooked everywhere, including this thread by tariffs supporters who think they have miraculously found the simple answer to drugs & illegal immigration.

Toothless US gun laws have no bearing on Mexican drug cartels being better armed than Mexican law enforcement. Which is, per Mexican government an ongoing and unaddressed problem over several US and Mexican administrations, the problem with stemming the flow of drugs from Mexico to the US...

From 2011 - 2016 70% of guns confiscated in Mexico during violent crimes were from the US. This was the assessment in June 2019: "It seems like this is an ever-evolving situation and ever-evolving list of asks from both sides," Allen said. "Mexicans are asking Americans to take some steps to...

The theory is Mexico will curtail the drug traffic to have the tariffs removed Mexico is firing back that illegal gun traffic into Mexico from the US is a big problem for them in their attempts to take down drug cartels. They want the US to step up on that issue.

I have an IKEA cabinet with a cheap 1500 watt ceramic heater sitting on the lowest level. Paints, caulks, etc.. fill the rest of the cabinet,

From what I gather, if you are tipping when picking up groceries you need more ballast or a larger tractor. I understand being on level ground also helps during the lift. I'm not certain of all the yees and yaws, but it's on the interwebs so it has to be true.

Some S-K nostalgia... Throughout high school I worked at a mom & pop hardware. The owners' graduation gift to me, since he knew I was leaving the store to work full time in a vehicle dealership, was all the tools I wanted to buy at cost. I picked out a medium size Kennedy tool box (not tool...

Another diesel heater vote. Route the combustion air from, and exhaust to, the outside. Don't oversize it. They need to run at the upper ranges of capacity to reduce potential clogging of the combustion chamber.

Congrats! I wish you the best :) Next July for me. I had hoped for an early retirement but a major life event 4 1/2 years ago severely impacted my retirement savings. I've been able to recover pretty well since, but retirement won't be what it could have been prior to the financial hit...

Between 2 tow vehicles & 3 trailers it takes 3 stingers to keep everything level. The 2 15/16" ball in the 3" drop is swapped 180 degrees at times depending on which vehicle is hooked to the cargo trailer. I really should buy a 2nd set up for that trailer. Far to often I find myself trying to...

It has more to do with the value of their time. Handling piles of worn coins doesn't usually return any big payouts. On a smaller scale I'm the same way. My time is worith $$$ / hour. If the venture doesn't cover that figure on average, I'm taking the (melt) money & moving on. I already have...

I have a close friend that is world class when it comes to coins. They go to invitation only coin shows. Their standard response is: If it shows any wear at all from having been in circulation, it's worth it's weight in "whatever material it's made from".

Wheat fields aren't as tall as they were when I was a kid

Exactly, I have nothing to complain about. I guess you could say that's my complaint. Oh sure, I can't run as fast, or jump as high, or process as much firewood in a day as I used to, but I can still run, I can still jump, I can still cut, split, & stack firewood, and complaining won't change a...

Had a buddy (in the mid 1970s) that could ride a wheelie forever on any bicycle, even mine, on which I wasn't able to keep the front wheel up for any distance at all. I'd suggest it's not the bike, it's the rider. Like any skill, some have a predisposition, others work hard to attain results...

Humor, right?

Not a single house in that neighborhood with a basement. I knew the owner of the closest house to mine (about a mile away) with a basement. He said his sump pump ran 24/7/365 and his electric bill was sky high because of it. If course my lawn was always green so there was that 😆

Yes. Had a professionally done crawlspace. Difference is greater than night & day. I could have lived in the crawlspace. It's that clean & dry.

It's said of the IDIs, they will never get you there first, but they will always get you there. Believe it! I have a 94 F250, SRW 8FT bed, single cab with the 7.3 turbo. My only dislike is it will get stuck on it's own shadow. That heavy diesel up front makes for poor traction with 2 WD

Interesting question. Here's one take. Answer The largest city population-wise in the US to later become a ghost town was Goldfield, Nevada. Established in 1902, Goldfield quickly became the most influential, richest, and largest city in Nevada, with a peak population of 20,000 people. However...

You'd be amazed by the number of things made from the same plastic as Tupperware. Try it first in an inconspicuous spot of course.

Plastic welding rod can be laid up one next to, or on top of, each other to fill gaps. You'll need to let the last one cool down before laying the next one.

I found this background interesting.

This will be one of the themes in my "Things that happen, which you couldn't do if you tried" thread.

Yeah, yeah... but how is the stirring column?

I have one with the stirring column intact I'd gladly sell for $3500.

^^^. This ^^^

The sprung weight of the trailer has to be deducted from the axle rating. Axles come in 3500 & 5000 ratings. You won't find a trailer with a 3500# axle rated to carry a 3500# load. You may, with much searching, find a single 5000# axle trailer rated to carry a ~4400# load

You need 2 tractors.

Great to hear (pun intended)! Would you share the brand & model you purchased? I'm there. The draw back to the ones I've rated top choice is they only interface with iPhones. My work phone is an iPhone. I hate iPhones (not just because it's my work phone 😆)

It's not paranoia if they're really after you 😉

Seems I'm always starting over at square one 😊

~125#; +/- 10~15 # I've lifted and carried them without help. Two people would have made it much easier.

Isn't it "build with what you have available or can get your hands on' anywhere north of the 75/127 split in northern Michigan? 😉

No. I welded mine on about 10 years ago. They aren't pretty either 😉

I'm not sure I'd store a chain on that hook, let alone hook something to, or pull something by a chain attached to that hook.

Here's a truism: You will steer to where your eyes lead you. Was there an out to the left or right? Look for an opening and drive through it. I once topped an icy hill to see traffic dead stopped on an expressway. I wasn't driving fast, touched the brakes and nothing. Didn't even seem to slow...

Don't overthink it. Have been moving snow for 30+ years with a geared tractor and the snow has always been moved.

The drawbar works nicely

Starting with ether is a factory installed feature on many older diesels. Diesels with glow plugs should never have ether used as a general rule. Diesel fuel is inherently dirtier than gasoline directly from the refinery. Don't assume that fuel filter changed a couple weeks ago is still clean.

I have a 1700 with loader / without power steering. As stated previously, you think ahead as you come to a stop to have the fronts positioned correctly. No big deal, it becomes 2nd nature. If you forget, and there is room, drop the bucket, turn the wheels, keep going Not asked, but will answer...

Computer control was introduced to the F series diesel in the 94 1/2 Powerstroke model. Pre computer 94 1/2 IDI diesels are super easy to wench on. With proper maintenance it is not uncommon to get 300-500k miles from them. The body / support systems will fail way before the motor. Are they...

Sorry about your experience. To the original question, I don't know, but there's going to be a lot ferrer in the not too distant future. Vets for large farm animals are already in very short supply.

A 43 year old oak is 60" in diameter? 😲 What did you fertilize it with? Or did my pre-coffer brain not get 2 when adding 1+1?

Jump the switch.

That's about 1 year of full time use (40 hours / week). Pull the oil fill cap with the engine running and feel for air escaping. If it's low to non existent, buy it. Depending on the implements, you aren't paying much at all for the tractor.

To bend a pin supported at both ends inside a 2 - 2 1/2” square tube all the load would need to be concentrated at the midpoint of the pin. Not likely happening with a strap. A cable, chain, or rope ... possibly.

The 1700 has a lot of grunt and enough weight to get it to the ground Don't bother with a FEL on 2 WD though, unless your going to hang a lot of counterweight on the 3 PH (probably a good idea even on the 4 WD model). The weak front spindles (4 WD) were corrected mid model year 1978.

Pull the hitch / shank out of the vehicle, push the strap loop inside the receiver tube and use the hitch retainer pin through the strap loop. Never hook a strap over the ball as a rule

I don't know about legality of it all, but in a similar situation our insurance company pointed out an issue and made it clear since we had been made aware of the problem they would not be covering any damage or liability in the event a mishap
