    The Man Who Accidentally Killed The Most People In History

    I would have thought it was the person who let the corona virus escape from the Wuhan lab? It has to be up there.

    What do you ride, and whats the last thing you did to it?

    Thanks, LOL I think I have 2manybikes too! BMW's R1200/1250 GS is a great all around motorcycle, I go back and forth between a GS and RS, currently I have an RS. The V85TT fits me (5'-11", 190) well it reminds me of my old Airhead R100GS in a lot of ways only with better brakes. The California...

    What do you ride, and whats the last thing you did to it?

    I ride a few different bikes, my latest two purchased this year being a 2014 CB1100 shown here a few weeks back: And a Moto Guzzi V85TT which I don't have a good pic of. The one I'm currently working on is my 93 BMW R100R.

    New L2501 purchased today

    Not IMO, having had both. With the QH I can back up and hook up to the ballast box, rear blade, etc., in seconds and get to work w/o even getting off the tractor.

    OK to let bucket slam down to clear stuck snow in bucket?

    I always spray the inside of the bucket with silicone while it's still dry and clean before using it on snow and it helps a lot. Probably any kind of oil would work as well.

    Looking for new tractor for 80th

    Nice Ralph! You're too late to warn me I already bent the top link a few years back on my newish B2650 when I had the rops folded all the way down like that. And my Deere now has an orange QH15 and ballast box on the back and little 4' orange bucket on the loader. I'll paint the QH and ballast...

    Yep they'll be out on a warm Winter day but the most active time for ticks is Spring and Fall. Ive experienced mixed results with typical flea and tick collars and all the various drops applied to their skin. The one that absolutely has worked for both my cat and dog is the Seresto collar by...

    OK a few images of Sophie..... Sophie and I were sitting together on a bench. I decided to take a selfie of us but instead of her looking at the phone she gave me a good lick! When investigating what she was barking at behind the house I found her with this little fawn and the little guy...

    I offer this in the hope it might encourage you to have your dog vaccinated against Lyme. (If you happen to be in or visit areas where Lyme is present) My friend's dog, Kricket, seemed a little lethargic when the 4 of us (she, Kricket, myself and dog Sophie) were on a walk one Sunday. He didn't...

    Looking for new tractor for 80th

    Ralph when you made the deal what bucket was included? 50" pin on would be the cheapest choice. I would add 2" spacers and choose the QA 60" for that tractor, but they do offer a 54" which would work well for you since you wish to keep it narrow.

    Looking for new tractor for 80th

    I hope you find one soon. I stop at the Winchester dealer there on 522 every so often and they always seem to have pretty good inventory so they must have product arriving on a fairly regular basis.

    Mice

    I always had a problem with mice entering my separate garage, they always chewed through the corners of the garage door sweeps and bottom weather seal. And once they had free access to get in and out they had any number of places to nest, including inside the cowl behind the instruments of a...

    Bucket hook installation tips

    I agree connecting separately and pulling from two hooks equally is the stronger method (in practice it's not always as practical). But pulling, and even more so lifting, unequally is the more likely way to torque your loader. It just depends on how you use your bucket hook(s). Years back I...

    Bucket hook installation tips

    My thought is ideally 3 hooks, but one works better than 2. On my first tractor I had a 2 hooks, one on each side. I liked this arrangement when using 2 straps to lift things like logs (I didn't have forks). But most use was for pulling something where I only used one strap or chain and I would...

    I installed Brotec spacers on my tractor (which had filled tires) and it took me about 3 hours, I believe the spacers were $350.
