That is exactly it @ineedanother! Thank you! I don’t think we’ve heard from @johnnymag3 in quite a while here? And yes, as I remember that Eddie Murphy tractor is in very good condition. So is @Ike’s 130hr 418. I think there was some movement in the zipper area of my pants when I read 130hrs! I’d like to see more photos of both of them. Maybe someday I can put one of them in with my 400 series?

I got it cleaned up and ready for driveway duty, Tire and wheel upgraded helped. 1975 D-200

After machining the C series Axle for bushings, the worn spots at the outer ends of the spindles needed to be addressed. My son TIG welded the worn areas up using a Silicon Bronze filler rod while I had to figure our the fixturing to allow cutting using the Boring Head in the Milling Machine. Rough alignment was done using a square collet blick in the vise & a split sleeve in my 1" endmill holder. Final tweaking using the dial indicator. Cut the weld to within .002 of the finished size & hand filed the remainder to get a snug bearing race fit.... A tedious setup, but beats hand filing the whole thing...

Thanks for the many special memories Coach. Rest in Peace

March 5, 1963: the Hula Hoop, a hip-swiveling toy that became a huge fad across America when it was first marketed by Wham-O in 1958, is patented by the company’s co-founder, Arthur “Spud” Melin. An estimated 25 million Hula Hoops were sold in its first four months of production alone. In 1948, friends Arthur Melin and Richard Knerr founded a company in California to sell a slingshot they created to shoot meat up to falcons they used for hunting. The company’s name, Wham-O, came from the sound the slingshots supposedly made. Wham-O eventually branched out from slingshots, selling boomerangs and other sporting goods. Its first hit toy, a flying plastic disc known as the Frisbee, debuted in 1957. The Frisbee was originally marketed under a different name, the Pluto Platter, in an effort to capitalize on America’s fascination with UFOs. Melin and Knerr were inspired to develop the Hula Hoop after they saw a wooden hoop that Australian children twirled around their waists during gym class. Wham-O began producing a plastic version of the hoop, dubbed “Hula” after the hip-gyrating Hawaiian dance of the same name, and demonstrating it on Southern California playgrounds. Hula Hoop mania took off from there.

Let me be perfectly clear. My wife is going to want to kill me if/when I buy another tractor! 🤣

Chewing the fat at Zagray getting instructions on how to start one of Mikes tractors. After a full explanation I still couldn't figure it out. Don't ever try to steal a MODERATORS tractor. Happy Birthday Bro

Mine gave up a long time ago. LOL.

My wife's reaction when I say I am buying another tractor. Yep,full Thermonuclear meltdown. But hey,I am a man and I ain't scared!! Well, not to scared.

If we partner with your wife on the insurance policy, we’ll could be the ones buying more tractors

LOL on that.

I have another hoist on a big I beam in my shop. I use the outdoor hoist to lift my Zero Turn to clean the mower deck

I believe this is what you're referring to @c-series don

Buy or trade -YES. Sell... maybe... not.

A few years ago someone here posted that they had (if I remember correctly) a 418? that belonged to Eddie Murphy, yes that Eddie Murphy. It was not for sale, the gentleman wanted to hold onto it. Now I’m not exactly in the position to buy another tractor right now, but I have a 418-8 and a 418-C so to complete the 418’s a 418-A would be nice. I was just wondering if anyone remembers who that was that posted that? And if in fact it was a 418-A? If so and it were ever to come up for sale I might be interested in it. As I remember it was in very good condition and given its history it would be cool to add to my collection.

Modern science is beginning to show that one of our biggest mistakes as a society is the amount of times that we eat in a 24-hour period. Humans are not designed to consume in the amount or FREQUENCY that we do. We're supposed to eat once a day or once every couple days. Hunger is not your enemy.

Happy Birthday Boss man! Hope you’ve got the fire department on speed dial for all those candles!

I’ve heard of people eating or drinking things during a fast, but still fasting. This helps explain the difference between clean and dirty fasts. To think that removing food to get to autophagy, or body repair, is mind boggling.

@stevebo's job ... don't wanna mess with tradition.

https://www.thenandnowautomotive.com/antique-auto-parts-store/Kohler-Fuel-Pump-Kits-c196218002 Sorry but for less money you can buy a Carbole electric pump which many people here have used and never have to worry about gas in t crankcase again. If you want to spend a bit more get a made in USA Facet posiflo.

prior to tightening the screws on the pump body clamp it in a vise and push the plunger rod all the way. This will properly position the diaphragm.

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday Mike! Always good to see you at the Big Show 👍🏻

Happy Birthday Mike Hope you have a great day!

Happy Birthday Mike...

HAPPPPY BIRTHDAY

Nothing wrong with the wanted list this early. If you're sellin stuff it will get buried by pages of witty banter. Still to wet and gooey to get out to the shed to see what's expendable.

I have a short frame plow I'd let go.

I wouldn't mind getting a snowblower for the round hoods, hydraulic lift for an 854, a Wheel Horse disc, or an 854 hood. That's what I can think of at the moment, I'm sure there will be more to come.

Yes! you're on another level than most of us but we can usually find a good reason to tell our wives why we just have to have another

Very nice! I also like the hoist in the driveway. Hmmmm...project

Uhhh... I put air in both rear tires and re seated the bead on the right rear tire on the 308 plow tractor. I did make it through plowing though.

This afternoon I had my pre-discharge evaluation with the Doctor, PAs, PTs and Hospitalist, Friday morning I will be heading home. . The Hospitalist said they have established a new policy, no laxatives will be given within three hours of any other oral medication. That probably would have gotten me home three or four days earlier.

We did to until we upgraded to a two man outside antenna in 1952. One person took the pipe wrench to the back porch and turned the support pipe while the second person relayed the picture quality to the pipe man.

Not sure why daughters are always stealing these things!

Ok now we are going to need pictures of this tractor!
