Finally got around to taking a few pictures of this little beauty that I picked up from @Dan 312-8 back in June.

Absolutely agree, especially when being used on thin stock. Pro installers tend to use a compound miter or chop saw as it lets them hold the stock firmly while making the cut. Is your goal to make them narrower and shorter and reduce the glass area as well? Every storm window I’ve encountered was assembled with cast aluminum corner pieces crimped into a tubular extruded frame. These are not easily disassembled without damage. I get not wanting to caulk, for sure. If this were me, I’d seriously consider: - router the inner edges of the outer wood trim boards to the size of the outer edge of the aluminum window frame. This creates a recessed mounting surface and removes the splintered current mountings. Use a router bit with a guide bearing set properly. (Some manual chiseling to “square” the corners would still be needed) - then, because the “ledge” is still too narrow, add a ledger strip (use weatherproof glue and nails) to create a more secure (and now weather resistant attachment) - lastly, maybe, add a bit of aluminum flashing to re-direct rain coming down from the upper trim piece out away from the aluminum frame.

It needs to stick out some,because the hole is not blind so it has to be pulled out, but it should not hit the gear cover IIRC. I had issues with mine only working in one direction that drove me nuts for a while, and that was the problem.

Put some decks away for the winter. Left one on the 310-8 with Trac Vac for collecting leaves.

Something like this may save the paint on your pretty wheels. Those 60+ lbs weights are hard to wrestle by hand

Quickie paint job…wiped the garage dust off these 65 pounders and gave em one coat of glossy black. Hopefully mounting em later this afternoon on the C-145 Auto.

A fine day to plow leaves!

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.”

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!

I'll sell you my RJ-58 for $2499 with an original gas tank! That's ridiculous expecting that kind of money but at least they didn't cut the hood

In full disclosure, I took these pictures the other day to post in this thread. I had the 418-8 and 70’s vintage Cyclone spreader out to spread some lime. Last year before putting it away and giving it its usual cleaning, I put tire shine on the tires. Then I started to think? I wonder if anyone else is wacky enough to do that? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another shot of 701 but I was feeling pretty patriotic after making a new front axle pivot pin and making bushings for the wore drag link. Using my homegrown flag bracket and the bestest flag in the world. A special thanks to my shop fan for helping with the shot.

#41 off the assembly line

Now this is definitely a “side shot”!! I posted this elsewhere on the forum but just realized how perfect it is for this topic
