...and if I may throw another suggestion your way, either a hole on the top outer wings of the bucket or foldable d-rings are really handy. Sometimes you have to lift something with the outer edge of the bucket so the strap or chains hang flat....just another nice thing to have.

Those wings would be about perfect for a keyhole chain slot.

 

Yeah I am just leery of stressing the arms sideways , we have them on the big tractors up home but with these little ones from some research it seems they are prone to twisting if you pull / lift unevenly . Will have to see if I have a need and then possibly do it then.

Course you could be stupid like this guy lol he put a toothed blade on and commenced to ripping out saplings and such and broke the center cross bar .

That's too pretty. Better leave it in the garage so it doesn't get dirty.

 

Ok so I might or might not have washed my other mower once a month when in use ...

I did actually machine buff it once too lol ... I did get some looks for that from the neighbors but .. I was practicing with a new buffer I had bought and was not about to screw up the truck paint lol

Looks like your tractor needs a good detail , time to break out the wax and start polishing . Also make sure to put some tire shine on to get that bling look !!!!

 

Happy Veterans Day to the vets of the group and around. Hope everything went well for you today.

Be safe out there off to the rack for early am work. This will be a long week again.

 

I heat my house with a pellet stove. It paid for itself in less than two years over LP.
Got three tons of pellets coming Monday

To light for even 1" T&G foam board. Weighs almost nothing.

I did, after two year tech school for Auto Mechanics. I realized I didn't like working on other peoples cars, I can work on mine all day. So I went into industrial maintenance. Did it for 20 years. I'm in hospital maintenance now, hopefully I can finish up here

Yep they're pretty much everywhere.

Is that a EMU?

Not really a fan of Unions. But sounds like you have a decent one there if they can deliver. My last job the company wanted to open a year early and they offered nothing, exact same contract that they had in place for who knows how long. And the union pushed it, encouraged us to vote for it. Counted the votes and it passed. Big surprise!

Careful what you wish for

Yes, some are!

 

Supposed to finally get above freezing today so going to see if I can get some leaves cleaned up. So that the huge ass willow tree can drop more of those narrow green leaves over the next month. In the snow. Guess should fill and make sure the snowblower starts too. More coffee. Already thinking it is a good day to grill a steak. Then again everyday is a good day to grill a steak.

 

Good Morning.
Leaf detail for me as well today...again.
Can't see the land mines with all the leaves.
Don't forget to clean the leaves out of your trucks.
Vent intake under the hood towards windshield. Also ,bottom of fenders .
Open front doors, pull back rubber flap on the bottom of fender, and watch all the leaves, pine needles and other muck that comes out.
Going to try to go to the local Bass Pro in Bilgeport this morning as well.

 

Morning all,

Cypher

 

I got bit by a dog on a hiking trail. he was in no way happy to see me.

 

Not sure I have worked it for so long. This year I have it off and Friday as well.

 

sweet tractor.

 

I agree I have two of them. I got them when a ton of pellets where $70 a ton.

 

Good Morning Bucktales and Cypher and everyone

 

And Cold Iron
sorry I missed your post

 

and Rob
going to be one of those days
hahaha

 

Not as cold this morning at a balmy 23. About 10 degrees "warmer" than yesterday and no wind.

 

I love the mass mailings.
They take a year truck and do a average trade in.
They figure nobody's truck is paid off. No matter the year.
I get one every year.
The first year they offered me close to the price I paid for it.

Yea the no payment is the best ain't it ?
I love my payment too..
