    neighbor works at a steel store, brought me a piece of ar 400 steel plate for a target. Will it stand up to his 30-06?? Two shots and it is dented, don't think it will last. Brought my 556 bolt action out and surprise,, 2 shots and 2 holes. I expected the 556 to barely dent it. I used a soft...

    Gearheads

    When I see an abs light on in a GM, I think it's normal. At least 20 to 30 percent of the gm vehicles that come into my shop have the abs light on. That will probably be changing for later models. My tech bought a 2015 dodge 1500 and one of the abs sensors went bad. I t caused the computer to...

    Quick Hitch question

    The qh in theory is great, but is designed and built by 10 different people, none of them agreeing on anything. No qh built by anyone will work on all your equipment without some modification. But once you get that done, it's a great thing.

    HST general question, BX1800

    Don't be planning to pull people out of ditches with the bx. It's strong enough, just doesn't weigh enough, looses traction.

    Leave it running or shut it off

    Shut it off, it's not the fuel, it's the hours on the clock. Value goes down as hours go up.

    Have you ever

    In a 40 by 60 shop, I lose a lot of stuff. Be busy with something and the phone rings or a customer comes in or my tech hollers for help. I don't spend much time looking for what I've lost since I have an official " finder of lost things". My wife. I believe she could find a thumb tack.

    Wheel Weight Question

    Front wheel weights do nothing for stability. The front axle pivots in the center and does not try to hold the tractor down. It also does nothing for ballast if you had something heavy on the back,, unless, it is so heavy that it's picking the front end off the ground. The frame has to start...

    dismounting is not a failure

    I've said before, If I had to get rid of everything I own, the Kubota would be the last to go. I use it almost every day.

    Time

    I don't think I'll be considering "time". It would be better for me to spend that "time" figuring out why that Ford at my shop is shifting hard so I can fix it and make some money to buy another implement/ gun/ tool/ etc.

    What a ride

    In that first video, 1.24 min, that was what I did, strap the pilot in and send him out. Actually it was only a few seconds of the 10 to 12 hour days. The Navy Blue Angels and the Air Force Thunderbirds flew the f4 Phantom at the same time until the F18 and the F16 came out. They were all...

    Fighting to reinstall FELs on BX1830

    Feel your pain. The first time I removed the fel and reinstalled it, I about turned into a sailor. The next time I wrote down every step off and on. If I saw I needed to do something different, I wrote it down. Now where did I put those instructions????
