Re: Case D100 backhoe

So... I haven't made any progress since June. It's getting where I don't really recall the full details of precisely what I planned to do. It's not that I think I can't do it. It's that I haven't yet gotten real clarity/comfort on precisely what to do next. So I'm thinking about admitting a measure ...

Re: Christmas 2023: What do you wish for?

I'm wishing for a Vevor mag drill with a five-piece set of annular cutters. And seeing as how I ordered it. And it's way too heavy for the wife to wrap it... I kind of have inside information that I might actually get it. 😂 But what I'm really excited about is the presence I've gotten to buy and mak...

Subsoiler/ripper attachment

When I moved into this house 15 yrs ago, it had a switch in the kitchen that turned on a barn light hanging from a tree down by the road. So years ago I tapped into that line as it runs up the tree and installed an outlet. That way I have a nice power supply for my Christmas lights down by the road....

Re: Tools we all need.

Thanks Dave. I'll give it a go as soon as soon as I'm back in the vegetable juice business. For now I'm rocking sort of a keto diet, fewer than 20 grams of carbs per day, and that much tomato juice would blow it for me. I've been doing it since mid-July, and I've lost 22 lbs, so I'm about halfway th...

Re: Tools we all need.

Some of you may be like me where I'm experiencing full-on arthritis in my hands. In particular squeezing things really hard causes pain. It's not that I can't do it. It's a question of whether or not I'm willing to pay the price. So right now I'm building an aluminum tool case as a Christmas present...

Re: 448 Hydraulic Work

Man, she shore is PRETTY. I've apparently been delinquent on several occasions, I've never bled mine before filling and running. And I've had it drained like 4 times. I wonder if you removed the plug wire(s) and just cranked the starter through with the travel lever fully engaged... That seems like ...

Did they have a beef with your work??

Did they accuse you of milking the job?
