Dances with Wolves took home seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, and solidified Costner’s place on Hollywood’s A-list.

Half inch NPT should screw right on. Adjustable volume, course, fine, and pulsing exhaust....what's not to like?

I don’t actually know when I’ll have these in my possession, but these were about 6 miles from the plow day I attended last weekend. I saw them on FB marketplace and sent a message asking if I could pay for them and have a friend pick them up. When he responded, he said I was first in line and the only person who had not asked a bazillion questions. I paid the man with Venmo, and he set them next to his trash bin near the end of his driveway. Risky I thought, but Adam got them for me! He threatened that they may turn purple and be on his daughter Angela’s tractor by the time I see them, and I told him they will likely stay whatever color he makes them and I’ll run em anyway if that’s the case!

I finally had time to get my bow into the shop for inspection. The owner told me to go deburr the cam edges and shoot it. It’s not damaged, just a little roughed up. There’s something to be said about a shop owner who turns down a potential sale for no reason. I bought $23 worth of merchandise as a thanks, and am heading to the tree stand!

Ah, Pete - but will it work on a 702???

Years ago I was curious about the operation of a bulldozer. As I looked around I noticed there was only one lever and no steering wheel. Pointing to the lever I asked what is this leaver, my uncles prompt response was "Lev-Er-Alone!" What do you call a sleeping bull? "A BULL-DOZER"

If you can not sleep at night, it is usually because you are awake. I hope this helps. If I am sent to jail my wife will get me out. She never lets me finish a sentence. Doing nothing is extremely difficult, you never know when you are done. A dentist will say “You are brushing wrong.” A nutritionist will say “You are eating wrong.” Parents will say “You are living wrong.” Your bartender will say “Excellent choice sir.” There is a new movie out about a snowman who became a vampire. It is called “Frost bite”. My son asked “Why do birds fly?” I replied “Because it is faster than walking…” used to think I was indecisive but now I am not so sure.. My vacuum cleaner broke, now it just sits there collecting dust. I attempted to organize a game of “hide and seek” but good players are hard to find. You can never trust stairs because they are always up to something. I told my wife “For the past 50 years all you have done is found mistakes in every thing I say.” She replied “That is 55 years dear.”

It was at one time. I've seen me in action.

A fine day to plow leaves!

I struggle with videos with my phone. What the heck is HEVC???? I finally got YouTube to do it's thing and hopefully it will work here. This is the first start up. Spark good, fuel to carb good (currently using a cheapo thumpy thump electric pump) and wiring checks out. It actually surprised me how fast it started. I had fogged the engine a while back and it didn't smoke as much as I thought is would at first start. It didn't care for the base carb settings but I got it to smooth out some. Still needs some tweaking. Took a mini cruise through the first woods just cuz. I used the battery from my 05 and found out it's 5 years old. I was going to park Dino for the winter and put the battery back in the 05 but I'm just going to leave it in Dino and buy a new one. I still have some odds and ends to do I'm waiting on some crimp lugs to redo the battery cables, I may repaint the fender pan. Something got on it and it feels more like sandpaper. I've got a good electric fuel pump on the shelf but I'll just leave the thumper on it until it quits. There seems to be some noises that are more obvious on the video than from the seat. I'll be chasing those down. Hopefully it's nothing internal. https://youtu.be/e1FIVKRNTlM

Now if there was just a way to resize them on here so they don't take up the whole page. @Racinbob nice looking machine!

Good work, on the tractor, and YouTube! There is a small delay in the RedSquare app, when posting a video. I copy the YT link, then paste it here, then hit the space, and wait. It will automatically embed the video into the post for you.

@ebinmaine Couple pics from tonight (yes I posted these elsewhere on the forum)

Slowly getting the C-145 into snowplow mode. Tonight I got the stud kit and inside weights mounted. Also installed the F-Plate braces that I got from @ri702bill. Next will be the outside weights, axle bracket and finally the 48” 5 sector plow.

I run a mid-80s Wheel Horse with a K&B-style deck and spend a lot of weekends out in the yard, so the patio area gets used hard between mowing sessions. I am starting to look at outdoor furniture for next season and the options online are a bit overwhelming. What I care about is something that holds up in Michigan weather, does not get too hot to sit on in July, and will not need constant cover and maintenance. I am unsure whether metal frames or the resin wicker style are the better bet for a covered but unheated space. I found some third-party info online about what tends to survive a few winters, but real-world experience from people here matters more to me. If you have patio seating you have actually lived with through a few seasons, I would appreciate hearing what has worked and what you would skip.

And 1/10th the price!!!

Mr. Jay did not feel the need to be addressed as Mr, but I made sure Rylee knew he was Mr. Jay. And Miss Janie is Miss Janie. Such huge hearts, and sweet souls. And like his Cab keeping Ed Dog warm, his weld wire is still holding Mrs. P’s exhaust stack steady. ❤️

We miss you Jay, for those who didn't know him let me just say that @roadapples was one of the easiest people to get to know and hardest to forget.

Me: It’s not about how many times you fall, it’s about how many times you get back up. Cop: That's not how field sobriety tests work..?

There is an adjustment knob next to the lift lever that controls how far down the deck can go. If you turn the knob so all the threads are gone and then attach the chain so there is a little slack it will be better.

On our k301 and the one parts k321 we have it a small E-clip on the ends of the arm thingy. If i recall correctly its either 1/8 or 3/16 inch, I'm leaning more towards the 3/16 though

Don't remember if I posted this before or not. It's like 3 guys playing at the same time but it's only 1.

International Cub Cadet, they weigh in at about 25#’s each

Dissolved is my guess. My fine grade glass blasting media arrived today, and I was able to accomplish the following.. Blast the surface corrosion on the inside surfaces of the tank - with particular attention to the flange perimeter. (Sorry I was on a roll and forgot to get photos) Install the new gasket and torque ALL of the screws to what I feel was adequate and equal tightness Line the entire inside of the tank with Red-Kote. (It's some messy stuff despite best efforts to keep it controlled) Now to let it set for a few days to thoroughly dry. I abrasive blasted a small area on the exterior of the tank that would be hidden by the hood - to see what it looks like. (the crud along the bottom is some remnants of the old sealer I haven't cleaned off yet) I'm looking at a product called Sharkhide Metal Protectant to achieve a more "vintage" appearance (as opposed to polishing). Plus, not being acrylic it can be touched up as needed.

Glad it was just a drill. I spent about 20 hours shuttling water from the closest hydrant three miles away to a couple tanks to cover exposures near a barn fire. Three other pumpers and a tank truck were doing the same. Barn full of hay is nearly imposable to extinguish but we saved the house and several other outbuildings as well as the livestock. Cool little rainbow there.

Beautiful weather in NW Ohio encouraged me to make another fall cleaning pass, and encountered a Kohler M12S engine core I had all but forgotten that I have. So I took a photo and put it on the classifieds for the group. Reduced my asking price on 310-8 transaxle while I was at it. Gathered a couple buckets of Hickory nuts and shelled them. Rain predicted for tomorrow morning and I think I'm actually ready for it. Hey, normal clock feels great. Don't have to get up in the dark, got up with the Sun instead.

hello AKol56, i'm with ri702bill. IMO better to change shear pins or grade 2 bolts then tear apart the blower, especially during the winter.

Nope! The hole is plenty big, plus the weights have a notch for the valve stem. PERFECT!

Okay, okay I know it’s not Saturday so please forgive me! Yesterday I had to move a few tractors to get my Peco vacuum trailer out, so I figured I’d take a few pictures for you boys!

Cool video Bob !! That horse looks fantastic and sounds good too !!

Many years ago I was looking for a cab for my 520H w/tall chute blower. Browsing thru barns at the big show, I saw one piled in a corner. I asked a young guy how much? He said he would check with his brother, and I should stop back in an hour. I bought the cab, installed it on the 520 and several years later I had it displayed at the Fawn Grove Olde Tyme Days show. A tall lanky bearded guy walked up and asked me where I got the cab. It was Jay's cab and the guy I bought it from was Jay's brother Guy Meyers. That was the first of many hours and days spent with Jay and Guy at Fawn Grove, Dover, and the Arendtsville shows. Then after Jays passing, with Guys help found homes for Jays great collection of tractors and parts. Your cab is still keeping me warm Jay. Thank you for the cab and your friendship.

Yep, you got that right! He walked right up to me (a total stranger mind you) at the Wheel Horse Show years ago and said “Are you Sparky on RS?”…and then we talked for awhile like old friends catching up. We met up and chatted every year at the show like old friends. I’ll never forget him.

Woke up the snow horses and brought them down from the shed. Everybody started OK.

Halloween photo shoot with our whole herd. In order, 702, 1963 Lawn Ranger, 864, 754 Dually, 845 Custom, 875, 1967 Lawn Ranger Stanced, and 1257

If you had power on the coil and no spark next thing is points... Make sure they are opening and closing and clean them up...

That spec is a battery points ignition with a 15 amp Stator for charging. The regulator you have sitting loose is not the correct one.. The finned one mounted on the hoodstand is. Run a jumper from Battery+ to the + terminal on the coil crank it and see if you get spark,

When replacing the key switch, did you replace it with the correct one. There is a difference between a switch for a magneto ignition, and a battery ignition. However, you said you replace the ignition coil and the magneto coil. There can only be one or the other. A magneto system has no ignition coil and vice-versa. So lets try to figure out what you have. Do you have the ID number for the C-145? What is the year? Which engine does it have? Do you have the spec number from the engine? I'm sure we can get you going if we have the right info.

A wise old shark and a young shark were swimming near the shore when they spotted a couple of young swimmers. The young shark asked the older one if they should go right over and eat therm. The old shark said no, first we will circle around the with our fins barely above the water, then we will circle them again with our fins fully exposed, then we can eat them. The young shark asked why you would circle them twice like that. The older shark said they taste much better once you scare the sh** out of them.

Picked up a load of leaves chopped them into teeny tiny pieces, Then my neighbor tilled them into the garden.
