Long lane tractor in Elizabethtown PA. is a NH wrecking yard try them. 🍻

I dought it's the damper. I replace mine and it did nothing. look for bent linkage or on mine the main bracket was bent. Lift the tractor off the ground and move the pedal from forward to reverse look for worn or bent parts. Loading the parts cannon gets really expensive when...

Shipping is the deal breaker on a lot of things I buy. Often, I will find a good deal on parts and the shipping cost more than the part itself. I find myself shopping for shipping. I have also bought extra stuff I knew I was going to use in the future to get free shipping. I have...

Not fishing. Making a statement.

I was in the same boat you are in . Had a TC 29d and I moved up to a TC 45 d . I couldn't be happier. I spent 20 K on a low Hr. mint tractor abt. hard to find it took me 2 years of waiting for a cherry one but there out there. It saved me 20 k + on the price and no Def. or...

Long lane tractor in Elizebeth ton Pa is a NH bone yard which can help you find one or an equivalent like a 14 la or a quickie or Bush Hog.🍻

Takeuchi or Gehle with a Yamar engine and pre-emissions machine with low hrs. would be the holy grail for a part timer who wants to fix his own ****. But very hard to find. Don't even consider a Bobcat after 05. All CTLs with emission garbage are hampered by the same problems. If you stick with...

The 7308 loader on the TC is pretty anemic it only lifts 900lbs. Whereas the Kioti's lifts 1,300 lbs. That come into play more when you are using grapple and have the weight out in front of the pins. If you plan on adding a SSQA that would also add weight. I wouldn't even consider putting a...

What are the symptoms? On my TC29d the switch is under the left fender it adjusts simply by centering it between to stops. I don't Rember exactly how I did it but if you just look at it from underneath it is easy to trouble shoot. I think if you turn the key and move it back and forth it will...

Long lane tractor is a NH graveyard in Elizabethtown PA They usually have plenty of used parts on hand that will fit your tractor. I have gotten parts for them shipped to me and the have been very helpful.🍻

I also bought my TC 45d sight unseen from a dealer halfway across the country couldn't be happier with the purchase. He gave me 2 video's and around 50 stills. The only problem was that the 3 pt developed a hiccup which I had to do the seals on the 3 pt lift cylinder which I did fairly easily...

If you are looking to use it mainly for the loader and bush hogging, I would suggest to only by a Hydro. TC 35 is a Syncro Shuttle. The 3520 could either be a Syncro or a Hydro. Next make shure the 3520 doesn't have a Proprietary loader and 3-point quick attach which would only allow you to...

When I did mine, I installed a yellow plastic cap which they added to the DA models which yours should have came with. They add this to keep water forgetting into the cylinder not on D models. I also slathered anti seize on the top of the strut and all moving parts.🍻

I'll take a bigger shop and more storage space any day over a bigger house.

It is not illegal to delete emission equipment on personal vehicles or equipment that is used on private property. 🍻

Considering that the only way you can do a valley on a Cedar Shake or Slate roof is to have metal flashing I would say it is common practice. We have done many a high-end home with Cedar Shake, Slate roofs and all copper flashing and gutters. End product is stunning. 🍻

Good delete kits are plug and play, meaning that you just plug in a jumper harness and remove DPF, EGR ETC. Then run the download. When you want to put it back to stock just delete program and reinstall original equipment. Google GPT Consulting it has a full expiation of how it works. I myself...

Look at it this way $167 is a far cry from 4k. CNH parts are ridiculously expensive. But you don't want to risk doing it all over again cause of a gasket or o ring. Been there done that many times.🍻

Forget about the stealer. Find a good tractor shop in your area he is probably a better mechanic than the stealers. A non-computer-controlled pre-pollution-controlled machine such as that anyone with decent mechanical skills can split that in their sleep.🍻

45 years of carpentry I have never saw a more useless waste of money than a track saw. All you need is a good straight edge and a couple of clamps. A track saw can do maybe 1% of what a table saw can do. Try to cut tenons, rabbits, box joints, raised panels, tapers, and the list goes on and on...

It's a plastic molded gas tank it should have no rust unless it got put in when it was filled. Probably all algae. If the tractor sits a long time, it forms algae. Just get an algae cleaner. 🍻

Long lane tractors in Elizabethtown PA is a NH salvage yard. They have a lot of stuff there and they are very helpful. 🍻

Did you check the simple stuff first? Usually when I work on mine, I always leave it partially in gear or the cruise control in engaged ,pto on, by leaning on the levers or just fiddling around. 🍻

I had the same problem with my Legacy with a Kawi. it was always the carb. Like Randy said Chinesiumn carbs can be worse than a 20-year-old original. James Condon on You Tube works on small engine carbs all the time and he will attest to that. His videos were very helpful in carb rebuilding. If...

Unfortunately, no. I did a job in a Sherman Williams Research center, and they had stains and paints laid out in full sunlight. The guy there said he had all brands there with test samples, at best a horizontal surface in full sunlight will need a recoat in 2 - 3 years depending on condition...

I looked at them long and hard and tested every one of them in my area which is basically the same as yours . I bought a Kioti 2520. I use it for grass cutting and snow blowing. I did not like the LS or Mahindra they just were a lesser quality build fit and finish and would not buy...

Mine would up being the bracket that everything mounts to was bent. On a parts diagram it was part 23, and it cost $48. I just replaced it runs like new. 1620 is totally different. look for bent or worn linkages and mounting plates. A service manual has the procedure for setting the cent...

Thats correct but the gauge doesn't say for diesel engines. My pressure rating was off. I stand corrected.

All compression testers have gauges that go from 0 - 300 psi. The only thing that's different in the gas diesel testers is the adapters in the kit.

Read post 23 Lou. Or can't you read. It say you cant use a compression tester on a gas engine.

A gas engine makes anywhere from 8:1 - 14:1 compression you most certainly can check the compression on a gas engine. How does that dumb ass statement pertain to a diesel tractor. Compression tests are done to check the health of gas engines all the time.🍻

As an owner of a healthy TC 29 D I can tell you for a fact that that engine will start with no glow plugs no problem. Mine sits outside all year, and it has started in -0 temperature without a block heater. Compression test procedure is correct, disconnect power to glow plugs, battery...

Do a compression test. Smoke from the oil fill indicates blowby. Hit with some either to try to get it started. Sounds like low compression. You got fuel,Air, and power. 🍻

I didn't know cars came with a forestry protection package. 🍻

Hello. I have a tc45d tractor and I was using it today all morning. I lowered the 3 point hitch, got off the tractor to move something, then got back on and the hitch will not go up. I looked at the contol lever and it is hooked up and moving. I checked the oil level and it was good. everything...

I found that the lever for the return to neutral was bent and not letting the bearing travel straight on the pedal bracket. Adjusted everything on there and the tractor still occasionally will not return to neutral. Is there any thing else to look at?

Thats what happens when you spend too much time in Amish country. 🍻

As far as I can tell, no. If you want one there, is one available on Ebay for $450 new old stock in the box with the installation instructions. I'm shure if you call the guy, he could check the instructions and tell you for shure. It's a good thing it don't fit on my tractor...

I you buy Sany equipment from an auction the warranty is null and void. Ask C and C Equipment how they know, they bought 3. There is a Ytube video warning about that. 🍻

There were a few posts back in the day when those tractors were current about adding oil slowly. Don't remember why but the guy hydro locked and blew his engine. Ever since I read that I always fill the oil slowly.🍻

How about a crow's foot line wrench? 🍻

I have a TC 45d which I traded up from a 29d which had a 3-speed hydro. I almost never used the middle range of the 29.I think most people just get hung up on more is better where if it was a gear tractor that would be true, but it is a hydro. I never got in a situation where I said I wish I had...

Did you check the wiring harness going into the ECM? Some models had a speed sensor on the flywheel that have led to similar problems. Lots of good threads of people going through the same sort of trouble shooting, just have to do the search they will be very helpful. The only other thing I...

You know you're a wuss when you blame cartoons for ruining your career. Unless they held a gun to his head and said [wear this make up and sing like Oliva Newton John] 🍻

Anything I ever bought from CH was junk and nothing but problems. IR is not top of the line but usually their middle of the road is good reliable equipment. I'd rather have a reliable 1 stage pump than a junk 2 stage. The IR 2 stage is 2x the cost. That should tell you sutten about CH.🍻

Just the thought of that makes me not want to watch it.🤮🍻

The 2-forklift method is a simple way of loading long material in a loading dock or truck. Been doing it for years. If you only have 1 pick up the load in the middle rest on end on truck or loading dock, then stand up a pallet at the other end but leave enough room for forks to get under the...

There is a Chinese takeout place by me that's named the Poo Poo Kitchen. Needless to say, the food there is crap. 🍻

Even after buying the M18 1" impact, I still wind up using a 4' breaker bar to loosen the most stubborn nuts. Leverage is everything. I'm thinking about picking up one of those torque multipliers. It always seems like the worst rusty nuts are in the tightest spaces. OH, the fun of living in the...

Cordless drills are a joke compared to a good, corded drill. I have a Milwaukee hole shooter that's 25 years old that I use when drilling repetitive holes through steel. I have a Black and Decker 1/2" drill for mixing concrete and spackle and large diameter holes 3/4" and above that's 35 years...

Andrew Camarata has a video on y tube about changing the same plugs on a ford 1520 pert near the same tractor. Might be helpful but be forewarned I think he put his in backwards if I recall correctly which is on par for him. 🍻

So you have been keeping us in the dark the whole time. :unsure: I myself would have been pretty interested in these other builds you do young man.🍻

Don't over think it. I've demoed lots of old slabs and walls that had all kinds of long metal ranging from threaded rods to conduit to old gas pipe from when houses had gas lighting in them all where in great shape. Now if you are building a nuclear power plant or rebuilding...

Depends on your budget. If it was me and I had 10k laying around doing nothing I'd buy a Rockhound and call it a day. I need one too and I'm trying to justify buying the Bradco which is 3 times the price of the Titian and 2 times the weight. Also, I only have a TC 45d to mount it on no SS...

I have a tc 29d and a 45d both are very reliable tractors and never had any problem getting parts for them especially maintaince parts there were so many of them made there is a healthy aftermarket support network. There are also a few salvage yards around that specialize in that era tractor. 🍻

My v10 has 475k miles on it 2 original coils, 8 Nappa replacements. Don't seem half bad for 24 years. 🍻

All terrain lifts have bigger more aggressive tires but they still don't have any suspension or axle articulation so they are limited to where can travel. As a commercial carpenter I have spent more time in ariel and scissor lifts than I could count. An all-terrain scissor lift with...

Good plan. Where in PA. are you, I have 3 SD parts trucks in Blairstown NJ. Maybe do some horse trading. 🍻

My son drives my old one like that only his has 450 k miles on it and is a daily driver. We have been looking for a replacement and they are asking 10k for trucks that are in worse shape than that. With only 50k miles on it I would buy it in a heartbeat. Where is it located.🍻

Long lane tractor is a NH salvage yard. They are in Elizabethtown PA.🍻

If you want SS Tubes sells complete brake and fuel line kits in stainless steel. If you can keep patching it together for the time being, it's better than trying to find a good used truck now. It's friggen depressing they want 10 - 15 k for a POS rusted out plow truck. Anything under 100 k miles...

Somebody's got to put in the old JD commercial with the guy tilling his side yard with the JD 8750 and cutting his grass with the maximizer combine. 🍻

Many cars and trucks today have non greaseable u joints. Especially HD trucks because the hole drilled in the center through the x frame weakens the structure making them prone to snaping in half under heavy load. I run them on all my trucks and get over 200k with them. 🍻

Thats something to be proud of.! 🍻

I had AAA tow me down from a boy scout camp at the top of a mountain road that most cars complained about bottoming out on. Being it was an ecab f350 with 6" suspension lift and 37" tires I considered it a little sketch. I asked the driver if he was worried, he said [Any a hole can drive down...

Dealers' markup MSRP on a 70k truck is over 15k. How can they justify that for filling out paperwork and washing the truck? During Ford truck month where everyone gets employe pricing the MSRP drops 10 k. The dealers are still making a profit but not as huge. Over the summer my buddy went to by...

Nice thing with a case with a Cummins is that most parts can be had at any auto parts store. 🍻

I'm getting there, had damper off disconnected everything and lubed it all up good. It's defiantly better but doesn't return to neutral exactly. The damper didn't make much of a difference off. I'll just keep on playing. 🍻

It's only pressurized when it's running. When it sits a hole in the intake anywhere depending on the size mice, bugs, salt spray, dust, anything will find its way in there. If it was me, I would fix it as soon as possible. But my stuff doesn't look like his.🍻

If the intercooler has a leak, he might as well drive it with no air cleaner that engine will be toast in no time. 🍻

Just watched a special on Dean Martin on TCM Very interesting a man that played to his own drum. I didn't know the whole drunk thing was an act.

My TC 45D Has the sticky pedal syndrome. I have set everything as per the shop manuals specks. I run it over 2k rpms. and still the pedals don't return to center. As per the shop manual it says to look for things in a bind which I am it the process of doing. The other thing it says to do is to...

Most breakdowns can be avoided by simple PM. A u joint usually gives plenty of warning that it is time to replace vibrations clunking etc. When I change my oil, I go over the hole truck greasing it and shaking ware components. Good look at wiring under hood. I guess that's why I get...

I saw a TV show about Jeff Beck and how he got into restoring old cars and motorcycles. Not just collecting them but doing all the work on them himself. The quality of his restorations was second to none. I was always amazed how the album Wired could tell a story with no...

All the newfangled **** they put on the trucks they still don't have stainless steel brake lines and fuel lines which is most important to me. 🍻

If the new trucks are so much better now my 98 [which is a daily driver with 475 k miles on it] cost $28,400 the new ones at $70 k should give over millions trouble free miles right. :unsure: I could give a rat's ass if it can back up for me or tell me if there is a car next to me. I know how to...

In 1985 I ordered a new diesel f 250 hd [no 350's with 4wd out yet] went down the list and got every option available lariat etc. With the x plan I paid $14,500.00. I just got a price on a F350 cc dually lariat basic as little options as I could get was $70,000.00. That is MSRP that means the...

If they bagged them, they wouldn't have so much rail dust on them. At least that's their excuse for the rust particles on new cars after you get them. 🍻

I have a 99 and 2 01 super Dutys I did with Ospho and rustoleum black industrial 5 years ago that are still intact today. Put on about 300 k miles combined in the heart of the rust belt daily drivers. At under $500 for all three trucks, it's not bad for a [homeowners' gimmick]...

I burn diesel in mine also. No difference whatsoever. Work all day in an 800 sq.ft. shop with 8 ft. Ceilings. If it smelled or the fumes were bad, I wouldn't do it.🍻

Don't know how much you need but you can buy a [ run] of pre threaded pipe nipples that goes from a close 1" - 6" in length every 1". Or buy pre threaded pipe online from supply house .com. Thats where I get my pp fittings and threaded nipples up to 4'. 🍻

Long lane tractor in Elizabethtown PA is a NH graveyard and they had a few TC's in that class last time I checked. Give them a shout couldn't hurt. 🍻

Most older tractors pre 90's are 2wd and have manual trans. Both make for challenging loader operation. I Would look for a hydro 4wd tractor or a shuttle at the least for your first tractor. 🍻

Obviously not the same type of system. Yours is more of a paint I'm talking of a 1/4"thick material hard cladding. 🍻

Ospho is my go-to for surface rust also. To many projects to list no failures. 🍻

What are you calling commercial grade epoxy? A proper commercial grade epoxy floor has a thickness of 3/16 to 1/4" thick material layer. The concrete is shot peened to remove the cream layer that is the top 1/16" of the slab to get down to the hard layer below. There is no way for a homeowner to...

Another vote for Ford blue. 🍻

Anything that is homeowner applied ain't gunna hold up worth a :poop: . Commercially applied expoxy floors done by professionals are the only thing that's gunna hold up to car traffic and garage abuse. They range from $5 to $15 dollars a sq.ft. depending on the thickness and base material used...

At 46 min. in the video, he said, "I'll just send it to auction I guess that's what you do " At the very end he said he might put it on FB and someone wanted it even if the trans was out. 🍻

From what I remember from the last video when he got rid of the last one, he said I guess I'll just put it up for auction that's what everybody else does but I'll have to double check on that. "Let's go to the video tape" 🍻

What did he think was going to happen when he bought the lowest price POS truck at an auction that he didn't bother to go check out. It didn't even get a Richy bros. tune up. AKA $100 spray job. He himself put up the last POS he bought for auction. Buyer beware. 🍻

Sand isn't listed in [ Correct way] stone dust is base layer. I stated sand attracts ants what don't you get. Polymetric sand hardens like concrete they or weeds cannot penetrate it. 🍻

Agreed that Terex is a steel at 16k. Got to be something wrong with it. The only problem I heard with Terex's is that they have a lot of electrical gremlins. If it was closer, I would by it just to flip it. Dam they r asking 30 k for played out JD 110's that r half of that machine.🍻

I thought a cougar was a single middle-aged MILF. ;) My neighbor sent in a picture of Puma, Mountain lion, Cougar to fish and game they said we don't have any in these parts. I guess photo graphic evidence doesn't mean anything.🍻

Worst part of using regular sand it attracts ants. Around here we use QP [quarry process] 3/4" blue stone and stone dust in a 6" layer for foot traffic and 10" for driveways. Then 2" of stone dust. Compact all in 2" lifts. For textured pavers tie a piece of old carpet on plate compactor. Will...

Well said Gee ray. Why on Gods little green earth would u think of mixing mortar, troweling into joints, and trying to clean up the mess when u can just dump a bag of polymetric sand, sweep into joints and sprinkle with water. I've done and seen a couple of 100,000 sq. ft. of pavers done this...

yes. 🍻

Water usually gets in from leaky boots and seals when tractor sits outside in the rain. Oil in the radiator is usually from a blown head gasket.🍻

Unfortunately, yes. Water in hydraulic fluid kills the pump. Metal shavings in the fluid is a telltale sign of damage. Someone smarter than me has to help you with diagnosis. But if you ask me your pump is shot. Good luck.🍻

Was there any sign of water in the oil? When mine went it did the same thing. Took it to the dealer and he replaced the pump. 🍻

That's funny because my mechanic services the comcast fleet around here and he says their trucks have anywhere between 4 and 5 hundred k miles on them. He hates them cause the diesels make him more money no matter which brand you choose. Common rail diesels with VGT turbos create his most...

If the 4630 is a hyro that would be a no brainer for me. Pick up a couple of used suitcase weights for the 3930 if weight is needed. 2 wd + loader = no bueno, manual + loader =suck, more hydro flo = faster loader. Does the 4630 have loader prep? Food for thought.🍻

I have both 12 in work where all the machinery is ss not in the weather. 18 home where the stuff works in the dirt rust collects. The 18 will push grease through were the 12 won't. 🍻

The search on this website sucks since it was updated awhile back. 👎 There were many threads about the cracked bellhousing, but they are hard to find. If you find the members that are in this thread that have had this problem, then find their multiple threads you might find more info. A few...

3 Knee surgeries were a walk in the park compared to back surgery.🍻

Show us the other 3 buckets and the action photo's next.🍿🍻

Got both done in 2010. Had to get the right one redone in 2017. What changed were the drugs the use of nerve blockers. Biggest thing was the insurance companies not wanting to pay for hospital stays and rehab. Not the basic procedure. Thats from the doctors and a friend that processes medical...

I can't see how sawing off your knee joint and then pinning and gluing on a new metal one can be less invasive. 🍻

Had a few 250's 350's with the 460 . Great engine past everything but a gas station. Seriously thinking about 7.3 gas whenever their available to be ordered again. Ford A plan is a great thing. Employe pricing is the only way a new truck can be affordable to me. 🍻

Nice when you can fix them yourself . (y) Usually only takes a little investigating and desire to get r done.🍻

We use to have a bobcat that did the same thing . Sometimes we' get it to work by trying the controls to work in different combos. Slew ,curl tracks in Etc. But finally it had to go in to shop developed a bad leak . They said it was a solunoid that stop the track from moving ...

Iman Long lane Tractors in Elizibeth town Pa. is a NH wrecking yard and they should have a temp gauge that works for you. You could buy a cheap generic gauge and mount it under the hood if you don't want that rube Goldberg look . Just a thought. :unsure: 🍻

Your father sounds like my kid . If he had a horse it would be dead in a week. 🍻

#1 make Shure the 3045 isn't a cvt I have seen people advertise a cvt as a hydro. #2 3045 will have dpf on it they have a limited life on it and it gets expensive to replace. I like early Tc d's not Da's they seemed to start cheaping out on thinks as they progressed 2000 d's had a heavy...

Go full on Wylie Coyte and get Dragon Breath!!!🍻

Somewhere between Beverly hillbillies and Sanford and son.🍻

use to take the kids there every year in the fall and take the steam train ride and spend the day taking pictures and reading the stories under each exhibit. If you have time at the end of the day, there is a coal mine about 15 20 minutes away that has a mine car ride and a guided tour. pretty...

Those unitool wrenches suck . I bought one twenty some od years ago and never realy had success removing any filters with them. First the don't bite into the filter so unless the filter is big enough to take up the slack on the first few windings you have to hold the wrench and then turn it to...

Just looked at the wiring diagram for my tc 45d did not see any provisions for trailer wiring harness. If there was I doubt it would provide enough power for what u want to do. If it were me I would run my own dedicated circuit protected by a fuse directly from the battery. A 7 pin harness...

(y) (y) (y) If you got a new tractor built like that I might buy one .But for 60,000 now a days all you get is flimsy plastic and BS smog control.🍻

I'm with sawyer rob . After 45 years of wood working the only router bits I buy is CMT and Freud . The have outlasted every other brand I bought buy light years . CMT being the sharpest quietest chip resistant bit I have found. I never foud a router table pre made worth the...

Long lane tractors in elizbeth town p.a is a NH. tractor grave yard. That's were I get parts for my TC. 's. Stones throw away from Messics. 🍻

maybe I'm just old but i find it invaluable to have a hard copy manual of all my equipment right next to me when I'm trying to fix something. They usually run about $300 bucks but that is worth it compared to running in and out of the house to the computer or printing a bunch of loose sheets...

since I have a TC 29d and just moved up to a TC 45d I would say that a 30 is kinda on the small side. If you are going to use 6' implements they will tax your tractor any grade on the land elevation on weight behind it will also drain hp. If your heart is set on a 30 my TC 29d is...

he's set , got a helmet on. 🍻

Hopefully the kid didn't tell him it's raining. 🍻

Cuts usually get 4-5000 hrs. before they hit the trouble zone. It's alot of hrs. and if you don't know the history of how it was taken care of , walk away. 🍻

Pretty cool system but it looks like a weak link to me. Can't imagine what a strong loader would do to it. Love the thread and your fab skills. (y) 🍻

Pipe fitter's handbook has all the proper formulas to layout angles on pipe. And a good wraparound. There are some good videos on UT they could explain it a whole hell of a lot better than I could.🍻

Remember what your high school coaches use to say! [Nobody likes a quitter kid] Long live Levi Garrett. 🍻 Regards : Spitter Ps. $13 a Pack is insane

Long lane tractor is a NH tractor junk yard . Try them. 🍻

For touch up I use Rust oleum NH blue. Matches up seamlessly. Did loader arms on the old one with a hot dog roller. Came out like glass. Not bad for $15 a quart paint. I did by the CNH NH dark gray for the chassis at $45 a quart cause I didn't feel like trying to custom color the Rust oleum...

Did you try any salvage yards for the factory remotes ? When I did mine I found a set of new old stock for 1/3 the price of new .Worth a shot.🍻:unsure:

How's that hypertherm? Keep clean dry air going through it and it should last forever.(y)What kind of welder do you have .? Whats your plans for paint. ? The last couple of projects I did I had them powder coated cause My buddy with the weld shop found a guy that did it realy reasonable...

Yea. how the hell did your floor get so rusty .? Nice fab job .Defiantly wanna see the finished project. Keep us posted. 🍻

4wd is like insurance ,snowblowers, and generators . Expensive until you need it. Then it's priceless. I wasn't jumping on that 2 vs 4wd debate I was just saying that that's a ridiculous price for a 2wd base model truck. 🍻

A striped out 2wd for 50 K ? 👎

Wire wheel . Cup type , flat ,pointy whatever it takes to get scaly rust off. Ospho rust converter . Then top coat of paint . Lots of beer . that's what it takes to keep my older equipment looking good . Oh everything I have is old . People always ask when did you get a new one ? Never just...

Blue laws make it possible to drive through rt 17 in Paramus Nj on a Sunday. So many malls there it would be a gridlock mess on a Sunday with nobody working. We did a 10-story office building that was in the back of willow brook mall Xmas week on year and it took me 4 hrs. to get out of the...

Church key to open beer and spout for oil can. I still carry a emery board in my emergency roadside kit to clean my points that I haven't had for 40 years. 🍻

I'd hate to replace tires on that trailer. Merry Christmas 🍻

That's a great point Rusty . All tools where cordless then . I guess were just going back to our roots. Merry Christmas Every One 🍻

I would take a good look at a TC 55 DA or a Tn 75D . Ijust bought a low hr. tc45 d for 17 k it,s a cream puff. looks like it lead a charmed life. 🍻

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...
