looking better,,

spent a good amount of the weekend on the tractor,, a couple of finds to make the days more interesting.. axe head and a scraper like tool..

all older stuff (no pottery shards) years back I found 2 very nice stone motar bowls..

I amzed a fuel nozzel replacement,, lets you join two sections together for a long tube,, gets rid of the useless valve crap (those valve things can let water into your can)

I cook a lunch every other week or so at work,, more now that we have some contractors working long term in my mechanical room (9 month project) hot and nasty in NC the last few weeks,, todays lunch deluxe build your own BLT's, homemade pimento cheese spread and potato salad.. summer is here...

I went with the 48" landpride and 3 point hitch,, I seem to have a very good dealer and like the BX23S all was delivered free.. I just had to be home to hand over the check.. (hitch,blade box, wheel weights and assorted service stuff) it not a complicated thing and any of the type should work...

raised mine with the outriggers and loader,, set it down with blocks under the wheels,, lots of room.. also installed wheel weight bolts by outrigger raising one rear wheel at a time, rotated the wheel to get at the holes, pushed in bolts with some sticky grease to keep them in position..

looked at a bx23s they listed,, one of the photos showed a Chalkers auctions tag on it.. hmmmm..

nice to able to carry a few tools!!! the drive from the start..and why a look at all the diggings!!!

working hard and trying to beat the heat,, gave the little beastie a bit of wash this morning.. a few more add-ons to make things a bit nicer.. wheel spinner, tool box, overhead fan and a correctly colored "cool snake".. chainsaw holder working great would like to find or build a holder for axe...

axe and chainsaw at the ready,, and yes the ripper tooth is great option..

BX23S been digging stumps,, lots of hours, digging in hard clay,, can I grab my die grinder and get a little more cutting instead of plowing?

should have been well OFF the lawn here,, corning solar shingles,, peak operation 2000watts 220 volts,, we are all electric, cut the bill in half, plus we needed a new roof at the time..

well of the lawn here!!!

happy to report that after 2 days of hard work (stump removal and road building) the boxs/pots are just as solid as when I bolted them in place.. having fun with little tractor, added 12v fan and toolbox on ROP's, teeth set on loader bucket edge,, upgrade on fuel filter, strainer filter on fuel...
