HELP……...I CANT STOP!!!!!!! We just bought new grill grates for the cabins grill, and the Mrs. asked/ordered me to build a “grate scraper” for it, in the same fashion as I made for the “at home” grill, but she wanted it lighter. So I dig around the scrap pile and cobbled something together...

Those are some NICE looking tractors!

Nice find for sure. Looks like a fun project. That oil “leak” does not look to me to me though. I would probably wash it with a degreaser, and “monitor” it, too how bad it really is. I personally tend to not fix “slight weepers” that don’t leave a puddle. Sometimes you can open a “can of...

Looks good so far. I’m having a difficult time envisioning how those "u-bolts" will work though? Is there another bracket not shown?

It’s kind of a tough call since I have never actaully used a Land Plane, so my opinion is not based on actual experience. I have a Box Blade, but if I could “do it over” I would probably get a Land Plane, but my “main use” is for my gravel driveway, not moving dirt. One thing that I will say...

I am “tight fisted” when it comes to certain things. You would have to use a “crowbar" to pry the money out of my "cold dead hands” for a Starbucks Mocha- Loco-Capuchino-Latte thingy…..……I drink the cheapest black coffee I can find…. However I can’t pull the moeny out of my pockets fast enough...

I love those old tractors. I have a friend that has a old Ford (8N?) (actually it’s his deceased father in laws, and the mother in law, still has it stting in the garage) Every time I go there, (about every 5 years) I have to drain the gas, and rebuild the carb for him so he can “drive it...

Excuse me for a second, while I go "poke out" my “minds eye”! :LOL: ;)

At the risk of sounding condesecnding(which I am not trying to be), or winning the “Captain Obvious” award….. At any time, was a can of ether (starting fluid), used to “help get things going”? (even one time)

Hahah, thats either funny…or concerning????? I’ll burn through a 10 pack of grease in no time, and with 2 tractors I have a hard time thinking you won’t as well. (y) Grease often, and liberally my friend! (it will pay dividends in the end).

Thanks for the pics and the link. That looks pretty nice. I am in the market for a vibratory tumbler. I had one at one time, but it crapped out and I switched to the “stainless pins” with “Lemi-shine” method…… However I am abandoning that method due to too many SS pins being lodged in my...

Although I agree with the comments above about ‘not selling cause you will regret it”, I am sure you have thought it through, and have your reasons why you should. So with that being said, I would probably price out your “entire package” with new prices, then multiply that total by .70 to .80...

I am a “Lucas Red-N-Tacky guy, and I live less than 4 miles from the nearest Wally World, and I still try to NOT go there. I have been ordering most/all of my greases and oils (and some filters) from the WW website. They seem to have the best price, free delivery when orders are $35+ , and I...

If he hasn’t figured it out after 15 years, then I think he should just take it to a shop and have it fixed. ;) Welcome to the Asylum…….(y)(y)

+1 on this. My driver was pretty good. I probably could have finished it with a rake if I needed to……(but since I have a tractor, I used it ;))
