Give your wife a "Day at the local Spa" treatment. Then invite all your buddies over for a little help and some beer & brats!! That should about do it......maybe.

Woe is me! In the summer of 2020 I had repaired and filled my bulk fuel tanks Here. Both a 300 and 200 gallon tank for a total of 500 gallons. The price at that time: $1.34 per gallon as the bulk truck left the yard. I usually keep about 20 to 25 gallons of diesel in the heated shed for...

If I showed the wife your nice collection......I'd have to add on more storeage space to either the house or shop!! What a cool collection!!

Now that Halloween is over with, it was time to start cleaning up the Haunted Halloween Trail displays. Fetching the autopsy table required the Kubota for some heavy lifting! Here's a couple pics from our Halloween trail that winds through the woods. Rumor has it that on certain moonlit...

If you already have a box scraper where most of the parts are bolted together you can do like I did and borrow those parts for a land plane. See post #6 here I seldom use my box blade vs this homemade land plane. But if needed....I can bolt the hitch and blades back on the box blade...

I ran a finishing mower behind my older JD750 without live rear pto. But the tractor had an overrunning clutch/pto. So if you slowed down to change gears, reverse, etc......as soon as you pushed the tractor clutch in....it would disengage the mower pto. But the mower blades would still keep...

For years I had looked into buying a granite surface plate but the shipping charges always killed the deal. Then a few years ago, a supplier sent me a notice of an 8 hour flash sale that included free shipping on anything but their largest equipment (some dimensional restrictions applied but...

Nobody should have it this nice, mcmxi!! :ROFLMAO: Just kidding, of course!!

Was cool, wet, drizzly, and snow that melts when it hits the ground here today. So I gave the Kubota a few sips of fuel, a couple shots of grease, and said I'll check on you in the morning.

Absolutely!! (although it would have to be the updated model since they discontinued the B2650)

Are the gears identical? Or of a different tooth count for additional variation to whatever it might be used for or on?

HaHa!! I'm stumped.....but very curious to find out. I agree with @woodman55 that the numbers are/could be a date code. Did anybody notice the two tiny eyehooks screwed into the wood at two locations. Suggesting the device might be "pulled along" whatever it's used on? That could very...

That's an interesting gadget for something. Finely made, too. Hope somebody can figure it out!!! It could even be for some "Quack" medical device back in the day? :ROFLMAO:

That tiller looks like it can be offset left or right to a certain extent. (Nice feature) Maybe missing an "indexing pin" that could lock the current location in place (looks like a slot or opening in the rear square tubing framework for that purpose?). I'd guess there would be some type of...

Now that's FUNNY! But you know, it isn't that outlandish to think it could happen. There's something called the "Six Handshake Rule" whereby all people are six or fewer social connections away from each other! I've also heard that today, with all the different types of communication...

Those Carl Zeiss optics are super nice! I have an older mint shape Carl Zeiss 8 x 30b monocular. Can't beat the clarity of the glass. (Well, maybe with a really high priced pair of optics). But snagged this one on online auction for $60 years ago. Nice and compact to slip the case in a...

Yes!! And every time I now grease the loader, I immediately lower it to the ground. This lesson was indellibly burned into my memory!! :ROFLMAO:

Hey jaxs, glad you held out to the end!! It must have been a standard response from all mother's back in those days. :LOL: We kids also got the same lecture whether we were going to the school nurse for the polio shots, the dentist, or just to visit someone in the hospital. Even if we'd...

Here’s where things went afoul. I think something fell out of my top shirt pocket and I stooped down to pick it up from just under tractor’s front end. When I stood up, I pivoted around back towards the tractor’s front again and…..WHAM!! My lights went out! Something had clobbered me on the...

In light of the recent interest in lost keys & replacement keys, I’ll offer my lost key experience for some good laughs at my own expense. This happened to me a year ago and kind of resembles the old “Field & Stream” magazine articles titled, “This Really Happened to Me!!” This event includes...
