That's a very nice upgrade! I was worrying how you could see around that monster "camper" with your stock mirrors... guess you couldn't. :p Sadly, they don't have mirrors for my Transit Connect. (Not that I need them to see around loads in my trailer, but the stock mirrors until 2014 were just...

Well, you've got it figured out and reduced to the essence. And your summary is dead on: the only chain worth having is the one too heavy to lift. I was disappointed with the first chain I bought, Grade 40 and either 3/16" or 1/2". Snapped like dry wood. Did a bit of research, settled on a...

That's a great idea! (Guess that's why I din' think of it. <sigh>) Let's get Coachgeo to make it a policy.

Oh, yes! Hope you din' wake up with a crock in her neck! Yep, that gal will look real purdy with a FEL leading the charge! Hope that happens soon.

Can't stop chuckling!

I am so very happy for you! I just gotta say, I'm disappointed you din' try my PhotoShop suggestion. :D:D:D:D Thank you for the update; it's fitting for the season!

I'm not Wolfie; nor do I wish to contradict Shaun -- I'm a total rookie! I have read up on silver soldering in preparation for a hydraulic upgrade on my B6100. My reading and advice from NIW is that silver solder of 15% or more will provide adequate strength for the low-pressure hydraulics...

Beautiful trailer! How does that ramp work for you -- not too short? What do you use for jacks (if anything) when loading? I hope you will consider adding another axle. I'm sure for your load and distance, the trailer is adequate, but as yamatitan noted, you really are pushing it a bit with...

Hope you waited long enough that your notes don't include any profanity! :D :D :D

Wow, it shrank a lot!

That was a nice-looking machine before you started (compared to what I've seen) and now it looks great. Kudos to you!

Yep, frustrating, and that seems inadequate to express your feelings at a time like this. I'm wondering if you added something to the fuel when you 'gassed' it up: could you have had some water in your can? We're all presuming that you are starting it with the decompression knob out, spinning...

Wow, that's great! (Next job is teach the Kubota to pick olives? :eek: :D :D)

I couldn't figure it either - usually it's just "TMI" for Too Much Information. It doesn't seem like TMI to me, but I guess he would feel the same about my saying that I had the same challenge, having had my "managed" 401k accounts devastated by the market meltdown, and no government bailout...

I don't either, but fortunately Diydave had the wisdom to post a link that did not require signing into FB. Try it, you'll like it! :D

Nice addition! Is the pic of some of your work? Seems to be gripping that log pretty well even though it doesn't reach around it.

Yep, another goner! Already planning for a cozy apartment for his tractor, prolly have it heated and cooled, maybe TV... <sigh> Welcome, Bill. Oh, just a heads-up: there are a lot of folk on OTT who have a secondary addiction... most of us are addicted to getting attachments, or making mods to...

Well, I got right worried 'till I thought about skeets' comment. So, I don't have to worry -- I wouldn't last 'till the first rest stop, and they'd throw me off their bus for soaking their seats. Prolly have to walk the 20 miles back home -- anybody who might stop to give a crippled old man a...

Crum! Sorry about the pain and glad of the ones you've resolved. VERY sorry to hear about your FF issues -- I recently switched to FF because Chrome suddenly got deathly sick. Extremely slow loading; sometimes not loading; stuttering in vids (any, not just YT); locking up. Couldn't correct it...

Well, silly, it's because you have a pretty new tractor. Swap with me, and you won't have that issue... it'll be happening all the time! :D :D :D :D Hey, kudos to you for getting your float working, that's a nice accomplishment!
