Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Mine is awesome too, and like you, she lets me keep the buddies.

Only problem with that plan is I want one bedroom for a reloading room (already know you will understand that), and the main room and kitchen for general man cave stuff and beer fridge and snacks. You got to have the bathroom to go with the beer. Since that gives me 3/4 of the place accounted for, I think I should just take the other bedroom for my “office” and be done with it. For some reason she doesn’t agree with my logic

 

You rang?
I like to roll my own fo sho! Primer supply has dipped below 5k though and that ain’t good. 3k 223 brass fully prepped and ready to stuff……
I need to re-think priorities!!!
I need to deal with this cosmic disaster first…

Do severe butt-puckers count?

Ok ok...i know its a mess but i have to cram a bunch of shit in there for winter.. i really wanted to showcase my sharpening table but theres so much crap everywhere im not sure anyone can distinguish whats going on and where lol....like behind the tractor im tearing down an np435 trans for one of the 1 tons..

 

We toured this historic home this afternoon that the county has turned into a museum. Called Lawndale after the first owner H.S. Williams' citrus company, construction started in 1880. I just marvel at the trim work. I love the ornate door knobs and hinges.

 

Love old architecture and old buildings in general.

 

When we moved up here, we had a medium sized shop and 2 car garage... the log shop im in now is 25x25 and with the tractor, rider, blower and snow machine in there...i just have to work around them. Summer time all that lives out side in the pole building..

 

One of the finest transmissions ever built.
Did you mange to break it or just a refresh?

 

Is there a food thread im missing? A place to show off and swap recipes.....heres a little chitina fish candy from last season. Wife and neighbor dipped 90 reds!

 

As u may have come to know lol i have 5 of these trucks and a pile of parts. This particular 435 is from a newer truck(80s) and has a better gear spread. It was to go in the 12ft flatbed truck which currently screams on the hwy at 50mph...i have the matching rearend out of the same 80s truck(still havnt looked into the ratio). Trans was stuck in 2nd so i tore into it...bearings and everything else looked good but one of the syncros is toast and the aluminum top is cracked... ill probly complete it this summer but may just sell everything.....ive currently got my eye on an 80s gm crewcab

 

Me too.

 

Kerosene pot burner space heater, I had one years ago.

Properly called a vaporizing burner, here is what is inside.
The oil control valve had a float in it to maintain the oil level in the "pot"or pan, some fellows used to call them carburetors although that was incorrect.

Once they get up to temperature the oil gives off vapor which rises and is burned above the pot. Some models didn't have the small fan, others had a larger circulating fan in the heat exchanger area.
