    I really need to stay off Craigslist ...., Version II

    Very cool man! Looks great! We had something similar “way back in the day”….But my dad put “Knobby” tires on it, and me and my cousin proceeded to abuse it for years, as a “dirt bike”…. Lots of fun, for sure………….That thing took a lot of abuse and was scrap when were done with it though (y) (y)

    Tonneau Cover Suggestions/Recommendations

    I had one of those “foldable cages” on my 02 Ram. It really liked it. It worked great for preventing things from “rolling forward” when I braked. I kinda miss(ed) it. But the truck had to go……Could not take the “boring’ness” of having an auto-magic transmission. ;)

    LA210 boom arm weld in bushing/boss

    Welcome aboard!!!!! Wow…..that looks like an “interesting” project :unsure: Looks like it was “stored" at the bottom of the ocean though……. Unfortunately, I have no idea on where to buy one, but it sounds like you have the capability to make one. Keep us up-to-date on how it turns out, and...

    Tonneau Cover Suggestions/Recommendations

    Lots of good suggestions here. Covers/caps are a very personal thing IMHO. My dad loved hard caps……….I hate them. I had a ‘canvas snap on’ style for the last 15ish years on my Ram….(not the Snap-On tool company) I kinda liked it, but in the winter you had to have “Thumbs of Steel” to get the...

    How long should a tractor last?

    I tend to agree with you, (y) however; I sometimes “time” will allow for aftermarket things to appear. For instance, I remember when the OBD 2 for cars was introduced…..That was supossedly the “final nail in the coffin” for guys to work on their own cars…. But 40 years later, you can buy a...

    Emissions delete kits??

    Maybe if you posted it on the "World Wide" internet? I dont have a dog in this fight, but I have seen some crazy things. My SIL just recently received a “no hunter orange” ticket from "Colorado DNR” (we live in Michigan) because his friend posted a picture of him with his deer, but he had...

    PHD Almost Worthless

    Yea I figured they had some sort of "special drill”, but I have never seen one in person. The only time I have seen a “rock drill” being used was on TV…….(But they were also on an astroid that amazingly had enough mass/gravity to hold them in place so they could drill holes for blasting to save...

    How long should a tractor last?

    Since mine is “garage kept” I suspect it will outlast me. ( e.g….it sees no "salt spray”) My truck might too…..If I can keep the rust at bay. 20 years and counting for the truck……... ;)

    I agree….those "paint chips" don’t taste like they used too……I miss the “good ole days" ;)

    How long did your battery last?

    Thats pretty good. (y) I would be pretty happy with that, for sure! Maybe my “longevity” issue has to do with "the loose nut, behind the wheel" 😅
