What did you buy this week?

[steve tym]

IronCraft ?



Isn't that the brand everyone has been saying is American made High quality and that Titan ( china sourced) is total junk? Asking because I bought a Titan backhoe thumb and it is really heavy built and no complaints .

Not sure, but I am very unimpressed. I even stopped to look at it and make sure it was an IronCraft.

What's it got for a motor Fuddy? AMC made some cool cars back in the day. That's awesome.

Thanks. The owner ran a Rambler dealership in Canton Ohio, ordered for himself. 232 six, Borg Warner automatic. Not what I would have ordered but I'm 100% sure I know what would have happened if I hadn't got it...that year could be cloned into a Hurst SC/Rambler without much trouble and only someone very knowledgeable could tell.
I would have ordered it with a 390 V8 & BW Super T10 which you could do. In fact a junkyard here years ago had a 4 door 390 4 speed American! (Very unusual "sleeper").
This one starts, stops, drives like new. It has a few electrical bugs I'm fixing.
I have one like this I need painted, reassembled.

Here's what I bought today and it took most of the day. I had to go to the dentist because I broke a tooth about a week ago (#10 lateral incisor). That sure was painful!
Not the dentist but I had to leave it with them while they fixed it, going next door to Best Buy and bought a Samsung "smart" TV and painful talking to the salesman toothless!
They replaced tooth ($180) and $249 for TV.
Salesman tried selling us an 85" for 20x30ft room but 40" is fine.
Now I can stream video from phone to TV (we don't have internet).

That's a mouthful.
I got something very similar.

I bought a case of Lucas Red and Tacky Grease and 3 new spindles for a Scag Turf Tiger. I went with Stens Spindles since they have grease fittings and are half the price of OEM. Hopefully, they hold up well.

I bought a new pump for my our Bosch washing machine. Why does it always go together better the morning after you spend an hour wrestling with it? You Tube University had multiple videos on how to replace the pump but none of them were my exact model so I could not get as much clearance to get to it. After some sheet metal cuts and frustration I called it a night. This morning, after a short prayer, wham bam it all goes as planned. I should have started with the prayer!

Because you spent the first day doing things all the wrong ways, so the next morning you've only got the 'right' way left
