If our friend B737 keeps up the nasty, sarcastic ‘tude, he’ll be joining the unforgettable Sidecar Flip in the land of “sure glad his a** is out of here!”
If you have it in your hand - diesel, gasoline, food, ammunition, any resource - you have it. If it is in a bank, store, fund, file or under the control of someone else, so are you.
Also, if you have two you have one. If you have one you have none.
I was able to lay hands on three 55-gallon steel bung drums used for food grade contents. After securing them upside down on the FEL, I blasted them out with the power washer and let them drain completely.
With appropriate color paint and some stickers stating the contents, they were each...
The front axle inboard of the right front wheel. It’s a black rubber cap with the fill levels on a tiny dip stick. You gotta kinda twist, squeeze and pull to work it out.
Youre going to love that stump bucket, good for so much. I make electric and water line trenches with mine. Remember your...
Hi! My K Connect slipped on like a glove, just be aware that the long heavy rods which secure it go into a specific side of the frame; otherwise you can’t get the R spring cotter pins inserted to secure the rods in place.
No special adapters needed for the PTO center drive connection.
I...
I’m a firm believer in the adage “If you have two you have one, if you have one you have none” Also, “If you can’t hold it in your hand, you don’t own it.”
I have many gallons of fluids, many filters, greases, triple redundancy on anything consumable and have just finished a fuel storage and...
I’m finally giving up juggling 5gal jugs and building a fuel storage and pump station. I’ll have both diesel and gasoline.
I’m pretty much satisfied I have the 55gal steel barrels cleaned, any loose rust and debris removed and the pump, plumbing and filters properly installed.
It’s the...
My 2019 B2601 has developed a slow, seeping hydraulic leek somewhere on the connector plate of the QuickTach FEL. These are four smooth-face connectors, collected on a single assembly and pressed together by an over center cam handle.
I’ve tightened all the connecting nuts I could, and a couple...
Starting my third year with Bessie, my 2019 B2601. So far all is well, learned any number of little idiosyncrasies, got all kinds of useful after market implements, haven’t bent, broke or exploded anything. Overall, I’m still in love.
But that seat!
I’m a big guy and those little wimpy springs...
I have a rotary pump with filters and the hose running from a 55gal. drum. The whole assembly is direct threaded into the drums 2”bung. All well and good until it’s time to fill the barrel back up. Is there a coupling that can join the pumps male threads to the barrels female threads so they can...
Great idea! As a cook, I use the concept of mise en place, “everything in its place“: All the tools needed, food components washed, chopped, measured in separate containers, oven pre heated, etc., ready to go.
Same for my tools and equipment. A complete set of the tools necessary for any...
Replace that tiny toolbox with something big, deep and weather proof with a tray. Fill it with dedicated tools that stay with the tractor.
Get a set of punches to use as alignment levers for tapping out shear pins and lining the holes up for replacements. And pair them with a small ball peen...
That was exactly the program that turned me off to both 60 Minutes and the mainstream media in general, back in the 80s I believe. I had a REAL Jeep CJ5 soft top at the time, and had pulled a high G turn to keep from missing an off ramp. At 60. At night. In the winter snow. In Maine. No problems...
