My usual, fishing rocks out for the new parking area. With all the foliage gone I was able to strike some pay dirt and grab five good ones. Three just about at the limit of what she could lift.

I’ve got a question for you folks that use/abuse their tractors similar to the way I use mine! As noted in my previous post, I’ve had two rear flats. I have an MD60 with weighted (2 on each) rears. Closing in on 70 yo, it kicks my butt to remove/replace those tires! I may not be able to handle many more of these encounters in my future. Is there an easy way to challenge a tire change? memtb

A local tire shop that deals in ag and construction tires should be able to take care of tire changes and ballasting (if loaded). If using mobile service instead of taking the machine or wheel to their shop, they just need to be able to get a service truck to it. Of course all that costs, but it is much less physically demanding than doing it yourself.

I noticed that one of my tire chains was on upside down,went to take it off,it got jammed around the axle,went to take the wheel off and discovered that its heavier than it looks (weighted),bugger of a time getting it back on

I checked my air filter today...nothing exciting.

Used mine as scaffolding. Set myself and the welder on the roof to reach an I-beam. Just beat the rain by minutes

I failed to mention an unusual occurrence that confronted me the other day when I was busy clearing riverbank and putting very heavy rears back on after a flat!

I started out with a full fuel tank, and noticed that I seemed to be using a lot of fuel.I blamed it on the fairly heavy workload placed on the tractor. After a while, not being very attentive to the gauges, I noticed that I had used a lot of fuel! I immediately went into “panic mode”, thinking the worst after a punctured radiator, and 2 flats......my mind immediately went to a ruptured fuel tank! There was fuel running off of the rear of the engine......well above the fuel tank. Thankfully, it wasn’t the tank.....but what! Raising the hood, allowed me to see that a small low pressure fuel line (I presume a tank return line) had become disconnected at a tee! Why....How....but, an easy fix! Seems there’s always a new or unusual challenge! memtb

Broken waste line repair today. House is sold, closing Dec 6th. Municipal sewer inspection failed it due to break in line. It appeared that the joint wasn't glued, or perhaps, not primed.

Easy-peasy job for a cold/windy Black Friday.

Dig:

broken fitting:

smells like money...or yesterdays thanksgiving dinner

the fix:

backfill:

done.

Is that Aunt Edna under there???

Took the B3200 out to cut firewood and haul it out of the woods. Split about 2 cords.

I had a similar occurence a couple of months back.
Finishing up logging for the day, I returned to the M to find it sitting in a widening puddle of fuel.
I went into hyper drive and hopped in the cab and gunned it for all it was worth towards home which was about a half mile away.
Luckily, or unluckily, the fuel tank holds 23+ gals and was over half full so I made it back with fuel to spare.
I dropped the tank; which entails removing a number of other components too while lying under the tractor.
The return line had been popped off its fitting at the bottom of the tank; probably while skidding logs through slash strewn logging trails.
Had I made a more thorough initial look-see, I likely could have reinstalled the line with out dropping the tank.
Still beats a ruptured tank

Might actually get some snow tonight…figured it was time for the chains.

Put a quick hitch on today, went pretty good. Also got an old ingersoll moving again, and of coarse it needs a steering hose and discovered the hoses for its snowblower needs replaced too of coarse the leak was under the protective cover on the hoses so that was a fun mess to clean up.

My son and his family were up from MD for turkey day. Got to use the tractor as a prop for a pix of my grandchildren (and farfel).

That is a solid looking pair of Grandsons, but the other pair ain't shabby.

Moved an organ (Wurlizer) from porch to nephews truck.

Just for S and G's, I used the bucket to scrape the 1 inch accumulation off the driveway.
It has mostly melted off since.

Looks great! That is my next purchase also. What brand did you choose and why? The one that came with my tractor has a range of 18 1/2"--32" approximately.
