Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Is it time to build a tractor for all those implements?

 

Not yet, lol. I'm not sure what is next. I need to get caught up on some other stuff I've been putting off.

 

There's a group -mostly guys I work with - that I've been mountain biking with pretty regularly for the past 25 years.
15-20 years ago we were on a back road which joins into a trail. We hadn't been on that trail for a while. To get there you had to turn off the road down what had now become a primitive driveway.

As we headed down we heard some noise, and looked over at where there was now a rough house/garage, and there was an older guy standing outside wearing nothing but a pair of boots, welding something on an old truck. He seemed to be as surprised as we were.
As we were moving downhill at a pretty good clip, we weren't about to turn around, so we kept zipping by until we hit the end of the driveway - looked like some trees had been cut and some dozer work had pretty well hidden the trail, so we had to bushwack through the trees in the right general direction until we found the old trail again.
Never took that route again.

 

Done. This thing gets a couple other pieces that make it hinge and latch. They broke the first one and are using the hardware from it.

Now to tell the boss I need another 3/8" adjustable reamer....again

 

Good thing he had boots on, got to protect them feet from splatter burns. Safety 3rd

 

Depends on how deep the snow is.

Do people need windows open in the winter ?

24/7 works for me. Neighbors can adapt ear plugs work wonders .

 

The first operator on the scene can check things out.Every recovery is different.

Only need one ( maybe) a simple pull being it is up right The hooks around the trailer axle .

one always needs to look things over depends how steep the bank is then figure things out

A second truck to keep tension towards the left to keep it from rolling to the right

Dual 60 ton winches work wonders

 

Interesting with you it is always naked men.

 

FIFY

 

Next. “Freezer motor bolt” x 5

 

Cheaper to make then buy? Obsolete Part?

 

Customer ask for 5

 

New poll

 

I think it tastes good but the cost now has moved it into the luxury food group for me.

I carried it in my extra winter emergency goodies.

 

Now I am hungry !

 

Would I?

Yes.

Have I?

No.

I have had plenty of Hormel ham patties which I assume is pretty similar.

 

Wall space???

What's wall space???

Must be something like that floor space thing people talk about...

 

That lighted barrel is cool!

 

I think all said and done it was a $700 fix on an $1100 PTO. And the customer couldn't wait the 24 hours for me to rebuild it so he bought an identical one with the weaker gear just to stay running for the day. So he ended up with about 2k tied up in that gear explosion.
