Those are just the minimums, right? :p There's a road near me that's 5 miles long, posted @45 end to end. 3 miles of it are totally uninhabited, not even any power lines. Essentially straight, no side roads or driveways, very little traffic. I will be buggered if I'm going to poke along at...

A bit more detail would help. Assuming the tractor is the L4400 listed under your avatar? Exact location of shaft? Does your PTO selector have Rear/Front/Both positions? Two major possibilities: 1. Mid-PTO for mid-mount mowers 2. Accessory PTO for front mount snow blower or power broom.

Wouldn't count on cameras being of much use either, except possibly for insurance purposes. Around here, you can show the cops all the camera evidence you want and your chances of it doing any good are approximately the same as your chances of winning the lottery.

Jeeze Louise, I thought I over-built things...:D

1. I'd go b!tch-slap her vegan teacher for trying to indoctrinate her. 2. I'd tell her there ain't enough meat on them to bother...

Soooooooo true...

In my case, both would be full to overflowing. Especially if working on cars/motorcycles/tractors counted against me...

It was never spoken aloud, but the implications were VERY clear. Graduated in early June, had a job before the end of the month and paid a token "rent" until I left for boot camp the following February. Due to working nights I was relieve of doing evening chores (Dad raised beef critters) but...

Well, it took a while, but you were right, not that that's a surprise. It wasn't a serious leak, just weeping but I hadn't put any real pressure on the hydraulics either. It's getting to be time to hit the driveway with the box blade and that WILL require some serious hydraulic pressure so I...

Daughter, her grandkids and Da Dogz. Dad Crichton on the left weighed in at the vet at 114 pounds. His son Dargo on the right tipped the scales at 159!!! He is on a diet. He is not happy. :LOL:

Well, I'm 73 and no clues yet...

Folks that didn't play the game may be confused or turn it off. That'd be me. I turned it off about the time the ghoul was dug up (much as I like Walter Goggins). Apocalyptic movies I like. Zombies an ghouls not so much. My point of view is that a post-nuclear war world is a distinct...

I'm not saying it's been raining a lot, but my chickens are starting to quack.

I put retractable "jack" legs on the back of my equipment trailer.

I looked into getting one for some additional storage when I turned my tool shed into a heated shop. I quickly discovered that I could stick-build another building cheaper than getting a container delivered. Better looking too.

That's right up there for sure, but I think motorcycle therapy might be a touch better, at least for me.

Speaking of money... My ability to retire comfortably at 62 was due almost entirely to dumb luck: 1. I retired from the Navy in 1990, so there's my military pension income to supplement Social Security, and 2. We've always lived pretty simply. Never eat out unless we're on a road trip...

I bailed at 62. Actually, a couple of weeks BEFORE I turned 62. I'd reached a point where my choices were: A) Go postal and choke the $%^* out of someone who richly deserved it or; B) Stroke out. One day I actually went from work direct to the ER with a BP of 200/1xx and a massive...

It's good to know I'm not the only one that has an apparently simple task turn into a week long "but first I gotta" marathon. Great tip on the funnel too, I ordered one.

Gosh, that's encouraging... :D I'll let ya know what bites the dust next. EDIT: That saw was about 30 years old, has built a 24x48 garage, a 20x24 tool shed (later turned into a shop) a 30x40 two story barn, half a dozen sheds and several decks. Like the battery, it doesn't owe me a nickel.
