60+ year old thread.

Congrats on the double I did the same a couple weeks ago on the 21st

 

Yes he did.

 

Yep, and a little bear poking

Such a burden to follow 2 groups

 

Afternoon all:

, can only hope it all works out for you after going through the chemo treatments.

Welcome Tom, just stay the heck away from Mikes chair and make sure to fill the cooler!

Buddy and I went out hunting with his two grandsons today, foggy as heck and none of us even saw a tail. Yesterday there would have been a deer that I saw standing close to where we were sitting today, and his youngest grandson would have had a good chance at getting it, don't know if it was a buck or doe but he can legally shoot any buck plus he has a doe tag, so in his case, if it's brown it's down!

 

True words of wisdom.

 

Afternoon folks , I see a new member snuck in.@tlebel

 

New, since 1963!

 

1957 for me, before electricity

 

HOOK 'EM!

Try a PUTZ list of stuff you should do. That way you can either do some stuff and get tired, or tire yourself out by looking at it.

toys, toys, toys!

 

Damn right!

 

Well today the rain quit so I worked on finishing up the snow thrower refurbish after I got home from work. I put an inline fuel filter on it, added some fresh fuel, and she fired up on the third pull. Then I adjusted the carb and she purrs like a kitten. Then I changed the oil.

I installed the carb heater box and the belt cover. Then greased every grease fitting I could find. Greased the chute pinion gear and lubed all the u joints for the chute crank with chain lube. Then I wiped it all down. Looks pretty good for a 43 year old machine.
I'm very happy with the outcome of this one. Everything works as it should. I may get some tire chains for it at a later date.

I think it's now worth more than the $300 total I have into the machine. But I didn't do it for that reason. I wanted a good heavy duty 2 stage snow thrower and now I have one. This Ariens ST824 is one of the best machines ever made.

 

Looks awesome. Chains, not slicks.....

 

Heck of a job on the snowblower Greg, looks good for a 43 YO machine. Now that you did all that work you can only hope that you get to use it for its intended purpose!

 

Actually it wouldn't bother me if we didn't get any snow, lol. I never even started my toro snowblower last winter. But it's good to be prepared, you never know when a winter storm will hit.

 

Hope the treatments work and you get some good sleep

evening boys..... I forgot how far a pomegranate will spit red juice when getting the seeds out

 

I had to steal that!

 

I stole one from another forum for @Tacoma Mike:


I wholly concur!

 

I have that one.
Thank You.

So much truth in that…..

Going to be a good day now lol
