Our daughter covered Buddy up, he seemed to like it.

Double washing on the bed yesterday.

They should make an alarm clock sound like a cat throwing up. NOTHING makes you wake up quicker.

9’ ceilings and an 8’ ladder. She loves it.

Sorry for your loss.

And one trying to figure out how to run the milling machine in the shop.

One cat up a perch. One getting a good foot shaking nap.

Mid yawn.

Then got my 11 year old son to help me stop the divorce and start the reconcile process.

This was the problem. The shuttle lever was stuck, this slider had a burr on it all the way around and was stuck on what it slides on. Can't get it out without splitting and removing the trans. Took a small grinding stone on the dremel and fixed it.

Trap is set :oops:

Couldn’t find him last night, he was sleeping in our daughters top bunk.

Sun nap.

Wait your turn buddy!!

Did a head job on my neighbors mower and Macy took over the seat since it’s been in the shop.

Good nap day.

We gonna try and figure it out. The front trans drain plug. The rear trans drain plug. Getting it separated. Pretty sure the culprit is in here.

Progress on a side job at home.

Glad it was simple and thanks for telling us you figured it out.

Customer needs the holes clocked differently.

Buddy showing her how to meatloaf.

Mango loves a couch.

Buddy loves a good bed.

Macy is 14 and has officially become the shop cat. If the stove is burning, she's under it or beside it.

Ours just went up too, thanks to flooding, cost of repairs, and uninsured motorist.

Took on a project for a good friend of mine, the shuttle locked up on his CK27. It has 805 hours on it. Gave it a bath and got it in the shop. Started taking sheet metal off. Anybody else been through this with theirs? I've got the 402 page workshop manual for it.

Moved in August to Virginia, got a nice insulated shop now. Repainted my bush hog over Christmas vacation.

Can you take all that metal stuff off and just put the hoses in each end like a normal cylinder? That’s how my hydraulic top link is.

Got the scoop pan and auger back from powder coat and put them with the rest of the crowd.

Sorry for your loss, Mark.

Got the 3 pt miniature auger made, time for some powdercoat now and to make the PTO shaft.

Made some decals for the mini bush hog today.

They were, I have the real things at the house, that's where I got the idea from and used them as a guide (y)

Got the mini bush hog finished and back from powdercoat. Hanging out with the other implements I've made through the years.

I bought this 6' X 12' trailer about 20 years ago from a neighbor who was a pipe welder. I repainted it, new floor, etc. It's almost ready for a new floor again. I priced lumber the other day, treated 2" x 8"s, around $300 not including hardware. I paid $400 for the trailer :oops: Crazy times...

I bought this Kaufman 24' gooseneck new in 2017, paid extra for blue paint, double jacks, springs on the ramps, and American tires with a spare. Paid $5,800 for it. I looked the same trailer up on their website last week and the base starting price is over $9K

Here they are attached.

Mine is a 2425QT, hope this helps you. There is one for each side.

If I can remember to get one out of the building at home I'll measure it for you.

PTO guard is done. Now to make the blades and paint it.

Bingo! Kids and grandkids want the one thing most people won't give them, TIME. Reminds me of my in-laws. They have money, lake house, blah blah blah but don't spend time with their grandkids. I could care less about their stuff or anyone else's. Stop trying to please people who won't cry at...

Search the local classifieds and local dealers for an older one. I found this Ford 785A at a local used dealer. They are a lot heavier than new ones these days. This one offsets either way, tilts, angles, etc. all with pins.

Watching your kids play with miniature implements you've made, priceless.

Rest of it.

Gearbox and PTO shaft are made, now to make a shield for the shaft. The gears came out of an angle head for a Dremel tool.

Not yet ;)

Recently got done making a miniature Ford blade like the real one.

Been making a miniature Woods bushog, got to make the gearbox, blades, etc now.

Smoked a deer ham today, man it was good!

Plowed the deer food plot yesterday.

Our son got his first one today, a button head. He’s so excited! He’s 7, so happy for him. I got it on video as well. 5 days left for rifle season. He shot it with his .243

Made a new bucket pin for a customers trackhoe this morning.

Steel wheels. Self explanatory.

My wife is out of buck tags. She and I both got two 8 pts. each this season, so blessed! Got one of my trucks stuck trying to fetch the deer. Had to haul the 4630 over yesterday with 160’ of 1 1/2” rope and pull it out.

My cousin went hunting today and had to put his blind back up from all the wind we’ve had. He checked his camera when he got home and had a picture of it blowing away this morning.

What’s this Smith & Wesson .357 magnum 66-4 with a 3” barrel worth?

I use a set of Ford 101 3-16’s on our garden, takes about 5 minutes. Also use it to plow a deer food plot. Takes about an hour.

Yes, lol. Rifle season came in Saturday. This deer is bigger than I thought after the kids and I went and got it. I'm so excited for her. She has been so humble, she didn't ask to go hunt this morning. I ask my boss man yesterday if I could come in late this morning, late lastnight I said "you...

My wife got it done this morning.

I told her everything happens for a reason. I’d rather see her shoot this one.

Wife saw this one today and her muzzle loader wouldn’t cock. From a lack of cleaning on my part. I feel so bad.

Just got done with this miniature arbor press.

I knew there was a tree that needed cutting where we hunt last year about head high. The limb was over my head and it kicked the saw back when it fell, it hit my leg and only thing it cut was my pants. Man, it could have been bad. I had both my kids in the truck and my wife didn’t know I had the...

I had some pictures of this deer up until about two weeks ago. Friend got him Saturday morning 1/2 a mile away. He and I get a lot of the same deer on camera and he winds up shooting most of them, lol.

We’re so blessed to have somewhere to hunt. They have built so many houses around here. This isn’t the biggest one on camera but my wife hasn’t gotten anything this year and I hope she can get one or two of the big ones.

We get two buck tags, I just punched my second. Been hunting 3 times this year. So blessed.

Bucks are thick this year. Opening day of muzzle loader in the morning.

Muzzle loader comes in Saturday. Hopefully my wife and I can both pinch.

Welded a fancy jig to the table to bend some new rear lift rods for our 140’s.

Stuff that can’t be bought was on the menu this morning. It’s so good you don’t need anything with it.

What are the odds of having two 3 pts. together?

This deer disappeared late August. That short brow tine is unmistakable. He’s back!

Our son shot his first big gun yesterday, .243 @ 100 yards. He did good. Baby girl wanted to shoot the BB gun.

Looks like a 12.

Mr. 10 decided to take a break.

Buckwheat looks great and the deer are tearing it up.

I had two toolboxes off a couple John Deere’s I’ve had over the years. The bracket mounts to the tractor and the toolbox is removable and also has a tray inside that can hang on the front. I mounted them on both sides of our ford and put a ford emblem on them. I don't know if these can still be...

Mr 10 has a 9 pt friend and an 11 showing up.

I’m still running an original set of Firestone’s on a 1970 International 140. They have “gum dipped” on the side of them. They are also loaded, more than likely with calcium.

Mr. 10 tried to brush himself in so he wouldn’t be seen. It’s 95 here today. Supposed to be 69 for the high Saturday. Hopefully my wife can shank him.

Re: 2007 John Deere 2320 For Sale 285 hours That's nice, this shouldn't take long at all :thumbsup:

Got a white turkey on camera

Made an adapter for the disc to use behind the 140

Nice 10 pt showed up this week. Hopefully my wife can put a tag on him.

Buckwheat is flowering

I’m doing alright in the deer category, thanks for your concern though. Just for the record these are all North Carolina bucks taken within a few miles of each other. In order they were taken with, bow, rifle, bow, rifle, bow, rifle, rifle, muzzle loader.

Bought some equipment from a lady who’s husband passed away.

The trailer isn’t connected to the camper. The only thing holding the camper on is four connectors on each corner, clearly visible in this picture. People extend the hitch off the truck if they pull something. You can see here the trailer is attached to the hitch.

There’s no way to eliminate flats, I had load range E tires on this trailer and it blew doing 60mph on the interstate hauling a tractor. I learned not to buy load range E tires made in China anymore. When I ordered our gooseneck I paid extra to have American made tires put on it.

Buckwheat is looking good that was planted Labor Day. Hasn’t had any rain on it.

I got a tire winch off a wrecked pickup and mounted it under our gooseneck. Keeps it out of the sun.

I haven’t noticed in these pics that this deer was carrying his foot but I found out why Friday evening.

Bow season is off to a great start.

Took the clutch out of our other 140 that was slipping. Figured out why, it’s the worst one I’ve ever seen. Glad the flywheel is okay.

I know CBD oil and hemp are taking off big. Is anybody here using the oils/lotions for therapy/pain relief? My wife just got some for us to try. She was in a car wreck many years ago and broke her pelvis and has chronic back pain because of that. I have 3 bulging disk in my neck, knee pain from...

Friend of mine killed this North Carolina buck this weekend. 31 points, probably a new state record Guilford County hunter drills 31-point nontypical buck - Carolina Sportsman

700 does not sound or look right. Looks like this with the 1/10ths on the right side just like most other hour meters. Dads has 7,000 odd hours on it but isn’t right.

That’s awesome, love how you wanted them to say thank you. Respect, kids theses days don’t have that. A friend of ours let’s us bring our kids to his little pond to fish. He told me we don’t even have to ask, I get our son to call him every time we go to teach him he needs to ask. Caught 5 of...

Buckwheat is coming up but needs a drink.

Haven’t seen this guy in about a month. Glad he’s still around and hopefully my wife can get him this evening as she’s gone with her crossbow.

Hardee had that covered years ago with their offset 3 point hitch and centered 3 point hitch, although not hydraulic.

Here’s some I did recently with the Woods, the first picture those are briars about 6-8’ tall. The second and third are really thick grass with a mix of small trees. I haven’t sharpened my blades in 3 years. I’m sure they need it but it still cuts great. This Woods had a belt on the front when...

More deer pics.

Hit 1112 hours today on the 1993 Ford 4630, missed the photo op for the 1111 mark. Oops.

Big deer here in central N.C. don’t get much over 200 pounds. This one scored 165 1/8 and weighed 195 pounds. He lacked 1” of being the state record non typical with a bow at the time. I shot him with a compound bow in 2003 at 10 yards 12’ up a tree. I’m guessing they don’t pack on as much fat...

Hope he hangs around.

Made some new parts for a friends new holland loader. He bent this one a little and mangled the other side. Made them out of thicker material and added a plate on the inside.

Neighbor up the street gave me a power pole. Chained it up and brought it down the road.

I have a 6’ X 12’ with low sides and absolutely love it. A friend of mine made it in 1981. He was a pipe welder, RIP Wayne.

Yeah they don’t build them like this anymore. Cultivators and fertilizer came with it too. Barn find one owner 1972 model.

That would have been easier with 2 people but I got it back together. It’s like a new tractor now.

Got it divorced today then faced the flywheel in the lathe and reinstalled clutch. Changed pilot bushing by putting grease in it and driving in a 7/8” rod to push the old bushing out. Reamed the new bushing so the transmission shaft doesn’t stick. Also turned the ring gear over...

Thanks for the heads up about being safe, lets me know people do care. I don't usually pull the front end to do a clutch, usually just roll them apart after putting wedges between the axle and housing to keep the front end from falling over once separated. I used a piece of angle iron on the...

Brought one of my 140’s to work to do some work on it. Tightening steering up then a clutch. It’s a 1 owner, all original 1972 model.

Seeing these every where.

Our son was 5 in the picture of him welding and 6 using the milling machine. He loves to come to work with me. I hope there’s hope, it starts at home.

Finally found a picture I been looking for. A friend told me I could have this building if I moved it. Had the Case 1845C at the time and a half ton pickup. I figured I’d go run the forks under it and load it. Wrong. Had to strap the building to the machine and drag it on backwards. It was fun...

If you say so.

This is true for a lot of people, it has a lot to do with how they are raised. Our son wants to go to my 40 hour a week job any chance he gets. He’s 7. My wife and I own and run a convenient store and work all the hours ourselves (open 83 hours a week, closed on Sunday’s). She runs it while...

I was wondering what happened to people. I know people in a lot of trades, some skilled, some not and they are all having trouble finding good help. One guy told me a while back he has it figured out, he said "everybody that wants to work already has a job". I was just wondering what people...

Was searching the local classified and saw this. Must have an iPhone like me and autocorrect got em like it does me from time to time.

He is. Killed his family member a few years later with a rifle. About half a mile from where the other one come from. Both NC bucks. Shot the other one late September, this one 2 days after Christmas.

Here’s a decent North Carolina buck I got with a compound bow several years ago. 165 1/8 non typical

Early pics look promising.

I figured it'd be nice to hear others "for sale gone wrong" stories so we all know we aren't alone. I had a 1986 Ford F250 with a 351 Cleveland in it. I had it for several years, it was a good truck. I decided to sell it and was driving it to a friends house about 10 miles away and the oil...

Got started on the food plot for the 2019 season. Weeds were so tall you could barely see the blind at the end of the field. Going to spray it and kill it then plant buckwheat. I've never planted buckwheat before. Planted soybeans last year in this field and they came up about 6" high and got...

Working on some tubing.

This is what I have to work with. I want to be able to remove it out of the way when I don’t need it. Shouldn’t be to hard to do..........

I am thinking of building a grapple on top of my fork frame for moving brush. I can easily add the third function, I have 2 remotes and one isn't being used. I am looking for home built ones if you've done it yourself or ideas/do's/don'ts. Thanks in advance!

The kids helping unload the latest purchase.

Found a couple pictures of the briars/grass. These briars were 6-8’ tall and very thick. The grass was also very thick. The Woods chewed right thru it.

I made a metal guard to cover the clutch in place of the broken plastic one. There’s a small door on each side so I can access the bolt that holds the clutch to the shaft.

I can't stand cats on top of the vehicle, especially big ones!

I was probably a tad heavy on tongue weight the other day with 275 gallons of water sitting there. But the 100 gallons on the back countered some of it, didn’t it? :laughing:

Been using this one every now and then for several years. Most of the time it’s a t shirt or leather apron for me. I’ve gotten burnt way more times than I’ve put either of these on. I've set my shirts on fire, jackets and also my pants a time or 2. One of the worst burns I've ever gotten was...

Smallest snapping turtle I’ve ever seen I found it deer hunting a couple years ago. It was dead already.

Gave the Kaufman a workout today. Had 275 gallons of water on the front corner to go spray the farm with remedy ultra. Had 100 gallons in the tank on the back. Rear tires are loaded on the tractor with 2 sets of rear wheel weights on each side.

I took this picture today. Better than nothing.

Sold.

Lowered price to $2,750.00

Open to serious offers.

A friend of mine bought this saw off ebay back in February and just got around to cranking it yesterday. He text me and says "it's not oiling, can you look at it?". Me liking a good challenge said yes. I took the cover off and saw this heat rash around the drum. He ordered a new clutch, needle...

Firing order is 1-3-2, it's hard to see in that photo.

Schramm 160 cfm pneumatractor. Belonged to the US Navy, has brass tag still attached to hood and "USN" branded into one or 2 of the tires. 1972 model. Has 160 cfm air compressor built into it, engine is a inline 6 cylinder. Front 3 cylinders run it and the back 3 are the compressor. The tank...

64-year-old Grand Rapids man killed in farm accident | wzzm13.com Man killed when trying to separate PTO shaft tied to tree.

Here’s what I did to mine a couple years ago. Welded a 3/4” thick flat plate to the top for support. The clevis can be installed backwards and is out of the way. I use it for chaining tractor to trailer mostly.

Let's see some gardens and how you get them there. Here's ours, I'm guessing it's 30’ X 90'. It has 6 rows in it. I didn't get to plow it this year because it was so wet and ours stays wet on one end and it's red land. I been cutting it here lately and ran the yard tool over it then listed rows...

Powdercoater sent me these. He sandblasted it and primed it. Wondering what color the top coat is going to be. Forgot to mention this frame is for the powdercoat friend.

Got done making a fork frame for a friends tractor today.

I found this one in a shed last year. Lady said it worked good last time her husband used it but he been dead for 23 years. I had it blasted and powdercoat painted.

Made a thumb for our sons trackhoe and had it powdercoat painted.

I keep what I need in the toolbox of the truck or the one mounted on the tongue of the gooseneck. Couple years ago I had my friend at powdercoat paint all mine so they would stick out if someone wanted to “borrow” one.

Found this 1972 IH 140 in a barn, came with fast hitch, fertilize and full set of cultivators. Runs great! Sheet metal is straight, bumper is straight, pretty sure it has original tires on it.

Works, need to poke a couple more holes in it now and paint it.

I welded these 2 pieces of tubing on yesterday before taking it home for some support stands. Here’s one for the back, scrap I had laying around. I’m gonna take it home and put it on and see where I need to drill a couple more holes to get it up out of the way for transport. I’ll make the front...

Brought it home today and Cole and I unloaded it. He wanted to know how it works. He’s like his daddy, got to know how things work. I have a couple more things I want to do to it but all in all very happy with it.

Well......it works!

Hydraulic tank mounted. Got to bring some clamps and hydraulic fluid in with me tomorrow and we’ll see what happens.

Engine and pump are mounted. Carb rebuilt on engine and running good. Now to mount the hydraulic tank and give it a whirl.

Started making engine to pump mount.

Motor mount is done.

Got the hitch welded on. I left the flat stock sticking out both sides because I was going to brace it off each side. Then I decided to cut them off because the braces will be in the way of the power plant and I trust my welds that it won’t break apart. I decided to box in the upright piece to...

Little portaband time and a lot of grinder time and the prong test fit is complete.

I traded for a Troy-Bilt Horse tiller years ago and it came with a wood splitter attachment. The wood splitter hasn't been used in some time, it is self contained all but the engine which is why you have to remove the tines and attach the wood splitter. I had a water pump with an 8HP Briggs &...

Took the pump off this engine and brought the Troy-Bilt wood splitter in and got a fast hitch prong and going to marry them all together.

Done a little bush hogging at the farm with the 4630. Briars are about 5-6’ tall where they didn’t get sprayed.

Putting the generator/welder back in the shed with the Cub after the power came back on. The front hitch works great.

We got a little damage. The worse of it is a tree on our building. Our power was out for a little while. Had to run the generator for a couple hours before it came back on. I wasn’t gonna hook it up but the kids needed a bath. Had 2 trees on fence as well.

Worked on a torque tube for a friends super A. The holes needed threaded inserts to get them back to 5/8-11. Bought two and had to make two. Two I made are 1 1/8-12 and 1-12 outside thread, held in with an 1/8” roll pin.

I got an articulated tractor for my 12th birthday and somehow it survived my childhood and our 6 year old son plays with it now, this tractor is 31 years old, lol. I had a wagon load of corn to bag this evening and he came to help and brought his wagon and the ole John Deere.

I have a friend who works for an hvac company and I ask him if I could get some coil cleaner this week. He brought this partial gallon by. It’s some good stuff. You may can take a squirt bottle with you to a hvac place and they may give you enough to do what you need to do. It’s says to mix it...

I have a friend who owns a powdercoat business and he does a lot for me, farm equipment of my own. I just ask him why powdercoat from overseas comes off in chunks and doesn't hold up. He said they don't clean the surface good or cure it long enough. He also said he knows in the Philippines they...

Also use this behind the Cub or 140. I bought it from a friend for cheap and had it powdercoat painted after making a fast hitch prong for it. You can get them with a 3 pt hitch as well.

I built one on an old trailer so I can move it easy or pull it down the road, not too far, lol.

We only got 8” of rain from it. This is a 48” pipe that had 2 dump truck loads of busted up concrete packed around it with a trackhoe. Most of the concrete is gone.

I welded a piece of 3/4” thick X 3” wide flat bar all the way across the top and put a hitch in the middle and use it to lift stuff as well as chain it down. The clevis can be turned around out of the way or taken off.

Brought the 4630 with me so I can take it to get new tires, bad day Saturday bushhogging and a stick. The tires are pretty tired anyway, they are original from 1993, they only have 1,088 hours but they are weather cracked. Firestone’s here we come.

Got this Lely done. Bought it from a friend in pretty bad shape. Made a new ejector disc out of 1/4” stainless. Had the rest powdercoated except the hopper, brushed it.

You talking about #12 here?

Got my chain guards done for the bush hog and back from powdercoat. Now I just need more chain.

Got my yard tool back from powdercoat I been working on for 10 years. Made it one point hitch for my Cub.

Customer brought a shaft in he tried to get a 5/32" woodruff key out of. Drilled and tapped three 4-40 holes in it and put bolts we had in and squeezed it in the vise and pulled it out.

Made 2 U-bolts for a customers hare.

Welded spikes on the roller for my yard tool I been making. Used a piece of chain and a hammer to get my lines laid out.

Went to the powdercoaters and picked up the press wheels for this MF #39 corn planter I been working on.

Who's your favorite auctioneer? I had the pleasure of seeing Eli Detweiler helping E.B. Harris here in N.C. several times and he is by far my favorite. Lee Roy Van Dike came to Denton N.C. to sing once and got into the auction for a while too, he was really good as well. Eli has to be my...

Our shop floor at work doesn't have them. It made its own. The one that looks like it's been sawed in is actually where they poured half the building then did the other half.

I got this email this morning. Has to be legit but I didn't enter the online power ball.

How about a gantry? I made one out of old stuff I had laying around and some donation wheels from my dad. This gray one is one we have at work. It's a tad heavier duty.

Drilling some holes in 25' 4" aluminum channel.

I took some scrap today and they had this Hardee trailer sitting at the scrap pile. I ask if someone brought it for scrap, they said yes. I ask what could I buy it for? They said it has to go through the shredder, we don't sell things otherwise. It was a decent trailer, I sold one just like it...

Here's ours. I can't remember the name on it. I cleaned it a couple years ago and rattle canned it black after making the stand for it. The stand has a square peg welded on it the anvil sits on, that's the only thing holding it in place.

Oh here's the 5/16" hook and plate I cut off. Forgot to get picture before. This is part of why top lip was bent.

Any Ford owners ever seen a John Deere tool box? They're pretty neat. The tray comes out and hangs on the front. The box comes off with the simple removal of a pin so you can take it with you. The John Deere decal can have a Ford emblem put over it so people don't accuse you of treason. I had...

Finally got around to cranking the miller bobcat and burning some 7018's. Had to do a little clamping and jacking to get it straight. The clevis can go either way and be put in backwards to get it out of the way.

Here's a picture of those federals I bought back in the 90's.

Bottom 2 holes it is!
