    Bucket 'cradle or platform' for front of utility trailer......

    ^^^ Ask me how I know... :cry: :rolleyes: Not a bucket, but a poorly chosen place to mount a spare tire and a brand new - less than 500 miles - F250. Not a tailgate, but tail light lenses ain't cheap either.

    Awesome dogs / Crazy pets Thread

    Daughter's Akitas (Father and Son) enjoying their kind of weather. Us two-legged sorts not so much. 6 inches of heavy wet snow over a layer of ice. Slicker'n a smelt even with my ice spikes on.

    I think my daughter is trying to get me in trouble...

    "Baby" Daughter will be 60 in August, so I'd say any chance of adjusting her social sensibilities is long past...:LOL::ROFLMAO:

    I think my daughter is trying to get me in trouble...

    Of course, since it was a gift, I'll have to wear it. I think when I go to pay property taxes would be an appropriate time...:p:D

    Is this zerk broken?

    Not broken, ball just depressed. Might let dirt/water in, no more than they cost I'd just replace it.

    "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus"

    Like most of you, don't NEED anything. But as long as we're fantasizing, a bigger shop with room for a full sized Bridgeport with 3 axis DRO. Including the mill and a crapload of tooling, of course... Secondarily, I wouldn't mind upgrading my C4 'Vette to a C5 or C6. Ragtop, 6 speed manual...

    Tools you want to brag about?

    I'm a tool junkie. ANY excuse to buy a new tool is a good one. That said, I can't afford (and don't need) Snap On stuff. My most recent purchases: 1. Vevor Mag drill which is one of those tools you don't use often, but when you need it, nothing else works as well. Here, I'm using it to...

    Possible water in hydraulic system

    If there's water in it, fluid will be milky. Changing filter(s) is a good idea as well if you haven't changed them in a while.

    When did you get your first tractor?

    I'd guess around 1958. We had a local agricultural fair and the John Deere tent always had toys on display. If we'd had a good year on the farm, Dad would buy me a toy. I can remember 2 cylinder models, a manure spreader, a Model 12 combine and a MC or 40 crawler and later a New Generation...
