I have changed the theme of the forum to one which is patriotic. This weekend we honor those and their families, who have sacrificed their lives for us all. I wish everyone a healthy Memorial day weekend, and appreciate those who served the great nations of the world! Please remember, you can change the theme back to RedSquare by selecting "Theme" at the very bottom center of each page.

Well if finally dried out enough to get out and till the garden. Got the big D running great, took some time to put the rest of the body on and hooked up the tiller for the first time. Ran great and made short work of the tilling. I put bigger tires on the front and have 3 gallons of washer fluid in each one for a total of about 50 pounds. Still a little light. But I got a couple hours of seat time in and couldn’t resist a photo op.

Yes please keep in mind this is not just an extra day off work. A moment of silence through out your weekend to remember our Great Granddads and his sons and daughters for their sacrifice.

I front loaded my hours at work so today (Friday) I just need 3 or 4 hours to hit my 40 and I'll be outa here kicking off the long weekend early. Saturday I'll be driving south-west on a WH recovery mission (more on that later if it works out). Not crossing state lines so you New Yorkers can relax . On Sunday I'll be taking a motorcycle ride up into the Berkshire area of Massachusetts with my father. Gotta love being able to still do stuff with dad. He's 77 and still loves to ride on 2 wheels! My little bass boat needs about an hour of my time to get it ready for the season, wife picked us up our fishing licenses yesterday so hopefully Monday I'll be floating in a lake somewhere waiting on a bite.

Afghanistan is currently at 2,292, and Syria and the surrounding AO is at 69.

Finishing this hopefully

Thanks, Karl. Let's not forget what it took to obtain and keep our freedoms we enjoy today, and all those who sacrificed themselves. Let's also not forget those who are now currently away from their homes, their families, their friends and their comforts to continue maintaining our freedoms.

I’ve got a few hours of work this morning, then this afternoon I’m going to help my cousin get his “sporty” loaded and strapped in his pickup—he is headed to Montana for a couple of weeks. Also on the list: —some yard work including general cleanup —plowing the gardens and tilling out smooth —finishing up a Cub project with my daughter that we are getting ready to sell. —organizing the shed after the long winter —spending some time with the kids —end out the weekend with the GTO at the Memorial Day car show... with my favorite little people (Caleb is taller than me now!) in the whole world! Gotta pack up the refreshments and seating gear to keep everyone happy! @Sparky so glad that you get to spend that time with your dad. My bike should be finished any day now and I can wait to go riding with my dad like I used to. Hopefully, in a year or two Caleb will get his license and the three of us can go riding! Have a great weekend guys!

Don't mean to pis# anyone off but it's just another weekend for us retired folks.For you guys still working 9 to 5 enjoy the time off!

First off, I want to Thank all who have served or who are serving! Allowing me to what I love to do, Whatever that may be. Second, I know most of my recent posts have NOT been Wheel Horses, But I want to share with all of you. I promise all my projects right now are Wheel Horses , 1054 and a Charger, more to follow on those in What have you done to your Horse lately. So, that being said I got ahold of this yesterday, Anyone know what it is? Anyone, Anyone. Ok next pics are after a I got home. Anyone? Mayrath is what it's called, This is the Standard model, The Deluxe model has a body on it. Next Pics are after a power wash 8hp Briggs came on it, Crosley rear end and Trans. Roth steering It's rough, but I'm hearing parts are available. Wish me luck Thanks, Brian Next pic is one that has been restored

Slow so far. Not many here yet miday on Friday. rained hard for 1/2 hour. Seems to be past us now. Just overcast. ill try to add more pics as the tractors roll in.

@953 nut Wood shop, metal shop, auto shop? It’s a wonder you still have all of your digits! OR do you!?😂

Its a wallk behind toro dingo with a 10in auger, dad is also putting up a section of fence so were splitting the rental cost similar to this guy At a cost of 2 Franklins for 4 hours its worth every penny when you have 18 posts to put in

My time will be spent putting up a fence between my shed and garage making an area in the yard i can hide my "JUNK" so i and my neighbors dont have to look at it. Today starts with hole drilling and posts!

I have to admit... I read “robbing” and thought “I’ll have to check into that....” without thinking “rubbing” this guy.. so clueless!

Hey Richard, I haven’t heard of this product. Is it a little “slicker” than rubbing compounds? Maybe lets you steal a little more shine? sorry! Couldn’t resist!

Hope to have the time over the long weekend to get this one up and running. Other than that not much planned, gotta stay close by as I’m on call all weekend

Get this bad boy up and running.

These are our mowing weapons! We mainly use the 2 '68 Toro Whirlwinds. They don't have any safety devices, so they just mow and blow the grass right out, no clogging! When we get lazy , Then we get out the C-105 with it's 36: rear discharge deck. C-85

Interested to find out what you guy's have planned for this weekend.possibly opening up camp, fishing, boating,hiking?, maybe quality seat time around the yard? This is only the 2nd year that I will not be opening up camp putting dock in place, turning on water,installing boat lift etc, kinda feels good not to have to head up the Maine Turnpike with what seems like everyone else, sold camps, sometimes less is more, instead I will continue with this years project which is painting the house,been putting that off for a few years, now that the rain has stopped it's time to get real busy.

I'll put this here in the "other brands" section. Each year, Farmall Cub owners get together all throughout the country for an event called Cubfest. It's where Cub owners can get together, chat, eat, show their Cubs and have projects done on their Cubs. There are Cubfests in several different states at various times. Here in Missouri, we got together last Saturday, the 18th, in California, Missouri. Most Cubfests are small gatherings, others are large like the one coming up in Ohio, which is called the Barnyard Bash. But, I digress. Here are some pictures of this year's Mid-Mo Cubfest. That's my '50 Cub being worked on. The previous owner had shortened the governor rod, so I had to replaced it. We also check engine rpms as these Cub engines maxed out at 1800 rpms.

Not a lot to it. You should be done with that by July 4th

......... Or people with all their digits

A fiancee that comes with an air compressor (even if it is a bit small) is a good thing

No! spel chech didn't save me this time, darned fat fingers! I never took typing in high school, Wood shop, auto shop, metal shop, but no typing!

The camper is packed, the meat is ready to grill, there’s a fridge full of refreshments. All thanks to some I remember and some I’ve never known, fighting without proper cover, rations or direction in some cases, sometimes not knowing when they’ll have the chance to see their loved ones. I’m forever thankful to those men and women and will be sure to take some time to remember them. Last weekend I watched Hacksaw Ridge for a second or third time. I’m still awestruck when I watch it. To think of all the people who lived it....

Going to stay and avoid the traffic and crowds ! We have exploded with growth here and not enough roads so l plan on hooking up my new security camera system . Gotta protect my horses !!!

I made the decision to go with a sandblaster, read the good and the bad reviews of your basic harbor freight model, but for 116$ out the door, I figured it was worth a try. My fiancee s air compressor turned out to be a bit undersized, gonna have to rethink that relationship!!!!, but I have a buddy who offered up his old one for free, tossed him a 20$, said thankyou very much!!! Last summer i got a stick, and mig welder, i cant weld for crap, but some of the sheet metal could use some spit balling, so I'm set there.

Good luck with that! then head over and do Dan's

I keep thinking of getting another motorcycle. Been without one for 10yrs now and after owning something like 40+ since I was 16, the itch is still there. Something lightweight for popping around on and up at the farm, where I do a bit of part time work.

Very true there JA. Not sure about just another weekend though. One day seems just like any other any time. Won't be going anywhere. To many tourists/holiday makers get around. May go to a localish car show Sunday. Otherewise stay in our nice, quiet, secluded part of the world.

We stay to home most holiday weekends so as to not have to deal with the inordinately large amount of Ummmmm... Bright people... that are out gallivanting around. This weekend will be getting things sharpened up and ready Saturday for a logging day Sunday. Lots of other tinkering, puttering and general stuff to do. Mostly our focus will be on building the chicken run. Also need to get the garden put in. Monday I'll be changing tires and fixing lights on the utility trailer in prep for next weekend... Running down to Massachusetts to see a couple fine Redsquare members.

Use it as well... Works on skeeters too. Added bonus - makes you smell real nice...

Here ya go, I flipped it for you.

A couple have been reattached over the years, but I only use two of them for typing anyway. When my wife began meeting my family members she noticed that several were missing a finger or two etc. I told her that dairy farming ain't for sissies!

That’s why I bought one of these last summer. Friend of mine bought the property behind their house and needed a fence to keep two horses in. After digging the first two holes by hand, I went and out and got this, best $260 I ever spent

Those black flies are nasty. I know when I was stationed in Maine, we used an Avon product called "Skin so soft". It also works as a mosquito repellent.

I had my 40hrs in when I left work on Thurs. My company seems to feel that I should put in another 20hrs yet this week so that's where I'll be today & Sat. Sunday I have a date with a big ol' chunk of pork butt & my smoker (maybe a few beverages too). Should probably do a little yard work in between tending the smoker. Not sure what's on the ticket for Monday, I might take a drive Omro to visit with @PeacmakerJack & check out the car show. Hope every one has a great weekend.

Dave has a good approach. Getting the spring hooked up inside isn't the easiest thing. Very long needle nose pliers and some patience.

My wife is pretty good behind the wheel. My college student daughter on the other hand . Almost made it thru the whole school year ...then I get the call from West Virginia like 4 days before she drives home for the summer. Umm dad, please don’t yell but I scraped my car against another car in my parking garage . Like out of state college bills aren’t enough 😡 now this. My insurance of course covered the other car. So my daughter is alone in the parking garage and the other car was not occupied...so she leaves a note with her contact info. It was 3 days later before the young lady who’s car she hit calls my daughter. They exchange insurance info and my daughter apologized for it. Then I hear from my claims guy that the dad who owns the other girls car was pissed off and belligerent on the phone with my insurance guy. You would think that he would be happy that his daughter didn’t come out to her car with a scuffed up bumper skin to find NO NOTE? I was upset about the “minor accident” but proud of how she handled it.

Awesome!!

Ok, I’m new to body work. What is buffing and washing?

Oooooooooo that gloss! I’ll keep the coats on the pump down to a minimum, but it sounds like Frank will be partially/majorly retired upon completion unless I steal him away for a few hours here or there. With that said, I won’t be too concerned with excess heat on the pump. I received a jungle shipment today of 1000-3000 grit wet/dry sandpaper and have a few things on the hood to polish up before a final coat or two of crystal gloss.

Wife is taking the kids and going up to camp with her parents. I am staying home, getting laundry and dishes caught up, helping someone with a swapped around truck that won't crank from the key, but does run on Saturday, and then yanking the engine and trans from my own truck Sunday or Monday. Somewhere in there I am also supposed to do a bunch of work for one of my clients, but I have not gotten confirmation that he is dropping the car off yet.

Hey Eric, love that first sentence of your response, don't forget while you are amongst the RS members in Massachusetts put a plug in for us on the Sept Meet & Greet. Thanks

Welcome back. I use only my phone as well about 99% of the time. I can tether to this account but rarely do so because it uses so much data for just a few minutes. We have purposely "disconnected" from the internet and cable at home. We're too busy to use it. Using a phone is a VERY different experience from using a PC. I've gotten used to it after a few months. I also do not have, and have never had... A FB account. I have very little use for negativity, politics, or religious discussion. Redsquare is the only social media site I use. I get everything I need or want from the fine folks here.... About tractors yes... And also about everything else I've ever asked.

Never thought of that one.And,I do happen to have a porta power.I guess I'm never too old to learn something new.Especially from other RS members.

Family Christmas present, we’re in Lake Cumberland, KY! I was at the helm of a 78’ houseboat with 9 other family members today A pop up storm nearly electrocuted all of us kids but we made it back to the boat before the storm came over the mount and into the lake!
