    New logo

    I've created a new logo for my landscape business and had some help from a graphic designer to make it come to life. I think with one simple logo it pretty much says who I am and what I do. I'm having a dozen of these made up in t-shirts. Should look really great, I can't wait. I'm like a kid...

    Half Sized

    This is totally awesome. A fellow named Fred Heim has built half sized scale models of a Peterbilt road tractor, a lowboy, a dump trailer. Also a half size Cat D8 dozer and a Cat excavator all made from WOOD! Most of them are functioning, moving pieces either with a motor or radio controlled...

    Lasers pointed at Air Planes.

    There is a growing problem in my neck of the woods with people pointing lasers at air planes flying over head. The laser can blind the pilot and can be very detrimental to the pilot when they loose their vision and it could turn fatal. Not to mention the fact that this pilot in the video is my...

    Possible Color Change.

    I'd hate to do it but it looks like I have no other choice and if all goes according to plan, or atleast how I wish it would turn out and go. I might be selling my B6100 this weekend and going after a Ford 1600 with a loader I found on Craigslist. I've searched high and low for a bigger Kubota...

    Volatage regulator

    Well here goes nothing. I swung by my dealer today and picked up a voltage regulator for my B6100. $92 and change for that device which fits in the palm of my hand. Doubled checked with the dealer to see if I needed anything else to replace and they seem to think between a new battery and the...

    Automotive Painting.

    I wanted to ask around and find out which would be the best way to remove paint on my pickup. It's mostly factory white from 1988 but my genius father when he owned the truck put whatever white paint he had around on the truck. And I'm talking about sprayed on by a rattle can from Rustolium, or...

    D650 alternator

    Time for me to quit putting it off and get things done. I need to fix the alternator on my tractor. I think I've mentioned it before and some people have said I can replace the bearings in the alternator and make it like new again. Is that so or should I have it rebuilt by a professional? Where...

    A walk back in time

    I do appreciate tractors of all sorts even the vintage ones. And I must admit I'd go back in time and buy a Ford tractor from this man! Its a really neat video showing the Ford Jubilee and all the modern advances for the tractor of its time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8PS03-k50w&feature=share

    Father of the Year
