    What are Super H tractors going for now? Worth restoring this one?

    I know nothing about these but I think they're cool. Yours looks to be in such nice condition that I'd guess it'd be worth more as is original than perfect but restored in my uneducated opinion.

    I’m in green and yellow country and first year models with serial numbers below 1000 are in high demand. Plus spindle spoke wheels vs. the slat spoke wheels make it as delivered and more rare.

    Good question, I’ve got a Super C here that I restored but did a 12v conversion on that I use for mowing and minor maintenance around the property.

    I’m going to type this slowly in the hopes that you can keep up since you are new here and while I’ve got an idea, I don’t know exactly how dense you actually are.

    Only whingy twats post attacks at people for existing in a free market. But you did and then you sure got me with your sick burn. So here’s what I’ll do, I’m going to tag a moderator for you so that when I refer to you as a pathetic cunt that’s added nothing productive to this thread other than attacks on members that moderator will be sure to read it.

    If you want to be a member of a community then do so, but if you’d rather be nothing but a condescending prick then maybe TacomaWorld isn’t for you.

    DEAL. I’ll even include what’s left of my $30 10lb spool of wire in there. I’m about halfway through it.

    I got a cheap step bit. Worked fine I guess. Also got a cheap pair of the mechanics gloves. The $5 ones. Even expensive ones get fucked up easily, so I don't like to spend much on them. This is like my 50th pair.

    So I did some digging and what I found might shock people.
    It turns out, Harbor Freight themselves buys the things they sell for even less than they sell them for. :eek:

    Apparently, it's their sick twisted way of staying in business.

    I’ve become a big fan of the white leather (stormtrooper) work gloves. Great for mechanic work because they’re not super bulky but also good (thick) enough for quick weld jobs. Although if you weld too much in them, you’ll burn through the fabric portion on the knuckles. I buy a couple pairs when they’re on sale. The knock off “mechanix” gloves always fail on me and turn into fingerless gloves within a week or two.

    I have a bunch of free stuff from Harbor Freight. Flashlights, screwdrivers, meters, tarps, batteries etc. How much should I charge?

    Any knowledge about their torque wrenches? I would like to buy a cheap one for AR work, doesn't have to be the most accurate given the huge margin of error you can have on barrel torquing. It would be the last tool I need to no longer have to borrow tools from the father-in-law for gun stuff.

    I mention it because while I was in tech school, a student tried to replace his lower control arm bushings (not a Tacoma), used the wrong adapter and bent the control arm, TWICE.

    The cheapo HF torque wrench is perfectly fine for AR-15s. I’ve built many with my HF torque wrench. One is needed for the barrel nut and also the castle nut on the buffer tube.

    The Tapco armorers wrench is pretty sweet as well.
