Hi all! Been a while. Still kicking around. Still building. In regards to building there's some heavy stuff that needs moving from time to time. Most of it I did with the diy spear but that has it's limits. I've been looking for a lifting mast (is that what you call it?) to go behind the 585. Yesterday I finally picked one up. Lift height is 2.8m (~10ft.) and lift weight is 2500kg (5500lbs). That kind of lift capacity is great and all but it now (the lack of) weight of my tractor is the limiting factor Any way.. here are some pictures. *edit 2.0 picture issues resolved, supporting member status renewed

Real nice of you Bill really. Any profit I make goes to a new rosary and cassock for @Achto

I recently spent an inordinate amount of time searching for non-ag 6-12s and even considered 6.00-12s (which fit the same rim but have different profile). The was only one other option, a knobby style with a rounded profile. I bought the Firestones and I’m very satisfied.

The scope of the invasion, the reality of the commitment, never fully registered for me--it was just numbers and statistics, right?--until I was fortunate enough to walk those miles of beaches and bluffs and meadows led by an exceptional guide.

I predict that the most sought-after item will be the one you looked at and left home because you convinced yourself no one would want it.

Ya need any buckets Joe?

Hard to say Joe. I hope gas prices don't keep folks away. Wouldn't think so given the traffic on roads but Thinkin whole low end tractors are gonna be the ticket.

Took all of the connections apart that had anything to do with the starter circuit. Buffed the solenoid terminals, new nut on the starter, cleaned all the lugs and added Noalox to all of them.

BF Goodwrench Silvertown for your RJ 35 restoration, not getting easy to find. They have some cracking, but they'll definitely work. $100 for the pair.

All in I’m usually just under 800 miles after driving to the show and back/forth to the hotel and then back home on Saturday. My V8 Toyota will probably settle at 12-13 mpg depending how loaded it is on the way home. At 800 miles at 12mpg I’m looking at 66.666 gallons and at $4.30 (maybe?) per gallon average I’m spending $287 on 87 octane fuel. Split that in half with my son and it’s $144 apiece. Not so bad., Hotel is around $300 for two nights (also splitting that cost for $150 each). Add in meals of course. Probably around $370 for me to spend 2.5 awesome days at my happy place!! I don’t know how expensive it needs to get before I back out and stay home (being miserable ) but it’s hasn’t gotten there yet. That’s it…just bored sitting in the couch messing with my calculator. See ya’ll in 19 days
