@MattA and everyone, sorry I've been very quiet lately. Put a lot of effort into getting the house ready for sale. It's sold with closing on the 31st of October. I've put together quickly (with Dave's help) some forks so I can do full size pallets.

Have been trying and was able to sell many things that we cannot take along, but still have lots to get rid of. I was surprised how quickly I got to the max lift capacity of the tractor, which is only about 1000 lbs.

Here's the forks adapter. Got the quick attach plate from vevor. The forks from marketplace. Welded half inch plate. Did quite a bit of grinder cutting wheel action and managed to get away with no injuries.

And the kids are well, our oldest turned 5 yesterday and our youngest 4 months old is a blast. Obviously our days are full and thank the Lord for everything, I wouldn't want it any other way.

@Eugen Happy to see your update and that you all are doing good. I can imagine your busy as a bee in the whirlwind of getting everything in order for the move. I’m excited for you guys and looking forward to seeing your new setup once you settled! Stay safe.

This picture doesn't say much.


Let me explain. I rented this 15' uhaul truck and loaded it with 3 pallets and other stuff to bring to Toronto in preparation for shipping overseas. Got here, unloaded. When I left Kronos, the shipper, the uhaul truck started to klonk badly in and out of gear. So I'm stuck in Toronto waiting for uhaul to provide a solution. It's 15:30 now, this happened around 1PM.

@Eugen A bad U joint?

I don't know. They were supposed to bring another truck by 3:30, now it's 4:41PM. At this point I'll be gladly if I can make it home at all today.

@Eugen Thats an aggravating situation. I hope you headed home by now. Tomorrow will be better!

They finally did find a truck and I'm on my way home. Yay!

Glad to hear U-Haul righted situation. God speed. Harry

Good to know things worked out in the end... Hope you get home without any more troubles...

Why is there no time for tractor restoration? Yesterday s project, pulling ceiling fan vent pipe through 12 feet of very tight and finished ceiling and 12 feet of open ceiling. Squirrels eat the outside vent cover off, then through the vent hose, giving them access to the drop ceiling. Mom gave birthh to a 3 kits. It took over a week of searchimg to find how she was getting into the house. By the time her entry point was found all of the drop ceiling was destroyed, it stank. It won't happen again. Putting wire mesh over outside flap.
