I’ve never seen one either. That’s pretty neat!

 

I think he was asking for you

 

So while waiting for a response..... I'm standing there with a Root Slayer shovel (sharpened edges, etc), preparing to take care of it if it turned out poisonous. I'm running through scenarios in my head and I start to realize that there's no way in hell I'm going to be able to do this. I literally froze up and wished my hardest the thing came back harmless. If it wasn't, my neighbor was going to be getting a call.

 

Asking for me or asking me to turn him into a belt?

 

Hi I break things...

That is all.

 

Oh boy, not showing that to Jenn or I'll never get her out to your place. Come to think of it, I'm having second thoughts too lol. Guess I gotta get used to being a country boy now.

 

you'll have that on these big jobs

 

67.8 hours after 1 year and 2 weeks of ownership...figured it wouldn't be too hard a job...aside from the oil filter mishap, it was easy and also reminded me of pulling skids off the Taco after a muddy visit to Chris and Shan's place!! Dumped tons of leaves, dirt and millepedes off of the rear skid in order to access the oil pan/filter area.

It's not a big machine...its a little Perkins diesel 24.7hp turbo 3 banger that powers my little skid steer!!

 

You need a lobster claw.

Choose one. Never have a stuck oil filter again.

 

More like I need to or maybe you're actually onto something here

those fun dents and crinkles are from that style plier wrench...

 

Maybe you need instruction? I've had mine for 25 years and it's never met a stuck filter. And 10 or so of that was professional use.

 

The 1gr oil filter location has me spoiled. Haven't needed a wrench yet. Just get the meaty claws in there and yank it out.

Did my mom's sienna and it was under the front exhaust manifold. Had a dog of a time getting it one

 

Initial grip and rotation (from under the machine, pushing up) I could see it start to budge and then immediately the claws slipped.
Having broken and busted enough stuff these last handful of years, I inspected and realized it dented the filter canister. So I grabs a fresh rag, wiped filter and tried again, only to have it slip without feeling/seeing the can budge...so I put some flexible sandpaper on the filter between top and bottom jaws and it was basically like the initial effort. When we finally got it rotating, I think after almost 2 rotations we heard the audible seal break.

She's in a very tight space, so getting a good angle/enough leverage is a bit of a struggle - here's the view from the top side, granted it's a tight shot trying to just get a pick of the dented filter.


I'm thankful it's only required annually, or 567hrs, whichever comes first!

 

That’s SOP. Awl > Lobster claw

I’m surprised you don’t see a bunch living on the river.

This! I use those things for so many different purposes

 

My neighbor came across a family of copperheads when he was removing the retaining wall behind our house last fall. The little ones scampered up the hill while the mama got caught between a couple railroad ties and kept attacking the skidsteer forks before it finally succumbed to the life crushing forces being enacted upon it. That was a pretty good afternoon of entertainment right there.

 

Where has this been all my life? Order just placed...

 

So, I just heard from Gwen. She and her hospital are on lockdown for the shooting in MD, 11 miles away. All staff being held, no staff coming in until all clear is given. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/...ashington-county-manufacturing-plant/3073621/

 

Which size? Hopefully, schmedium.

 

She need anything?
