Semi-rehabbed a 2 piece seat. Picked it up for $20. going on my 875. Had a set of springs in stock. Gave them a quick flat black paint job. Got the pads off and gave all of the dead stink bugs trapped inside a proper burial into the rectangular dumpster. Pretty hot out with a high DP. Paint was a little slow to dry but my Big A$$ fan helped!

Oh Lawd tell me they joust!!!

I cleaned, lubricated and sharpened/balanced the blades on the 36” RD deck that’s on the 308-8 I bought from @Docwheelhorse Ill do an oil soak and dry once we see the sun again MA. I recently installed the ceiling, mounted electric winch on a trolley system in my garage and that thing has come in handy a few times so far. And like I do with most everything, I just had to weigh the deck

They had wheel horses in those medieval times? 🤔

They do'em with trucks so why not a tractor?

I was out on the boat yesterday and took this picture. I didn’t get close enough to see if it said Wheel Horse on the side? 🤣

Kevin playing games with a 10 foot long pointed stick, surely you jest.

@Pullstart me thinks thou must aspire to such an event at thy annual ploweth day...

Well it's a standard bore at least. You got room to get it back to round hopefully.

Reminds me of my late father's saying: You can call me whatever you want, as long as it's not "late for dinner"...

My nephew lives on a pee can farm near Jacksonville and sends me a bag of pecans every Christmas.

I pronounce it the correct way, my 5th grade teacher told us how. She was from the south as I and she was at least 110 years old then in 1962, so I'm sure she was around when the first Pecan tree was planted. Also back in the day a Peecan was something my parents carried in the car for me and my brother when we traveled.

Years ago when I had my Lund Pro Sport I was talking to my friends wife and she mentioned they were interested in buying a tampoon boat someday. Must of been the alcohol. They did buy one.

Preparing for my brother's medieval-themed birthday party in Devon (England)

We’re simply nutty over today’s honoree, National Pecan Pie Day on July 12. It’s pretty easy to get behind a day dedicated to one of our favorite desserts. Indeed, 90% of Americans surveyed believe eating a slice of pie is one of life’s simple pleasures, indulging in 186 million commercially sold pies every year! People who prefer pecan pie over the many other types of pies describe themselves as thoughtful and analytical. We’re not sure if this still holds true for those who add ice cream or whipped cream but, nonetheless, it’s time to celebrate the delicious dessert today!

looks good. I got the Murphy bed assembeled and attached to the wall today. Just a few little detail type things to do to it. The mattress for it gets delivered Tuesday. Next up on my list is the water pump impeller replacement on the pontoon. We had a brief, but strong storm blow through last Thursday. It left behind a few limbs and lots of sticks and leaves. Have to run the lawn sweep around before I mow. Probably be worth getting the chipper/shredder out to process the storm debris as well.

I say pee can and I have picked pecans off the tree in December in Alabama! But my wife Ruth uses Kahlua in her pecan pies and it certainly enhances the flavor!

Wild Bill might find a way to stage a joust at the next Big Show.

Easier to weld a piece on but you can bolt a piece on too You can find all kinds of small brackets at the hardware store to modify

Pee can, peek un, pee cane, pee caun I luv em all.

Picked this up today for $300!!! 1989 Town Car w/69k miles. Been in garage almost 30yrs, never driven in winter. Needs minor maint, fluids, tires, & fuel pump. All original rust free paint will buff out & shine when I get done with it. Couldn't believe how rust free underside is too. Interior needs a light cleaning. Old school luxury......I like it

Those Wheel Horse decals are photoshopped into the pics. Look at the rope in the second picture. Internet is full of inaccurate and “scam type” pictures and information.

Hello. Grew up with Wheel Horse and have been fixing up a couple from the 90’s this past year. A 312-8 I was given that I used to mow with for a wile and most recently a 520H that my dad bought new back when. The 520 was a bit of a basket case after a repower and being passed around the family a bit but I have it doing much better now. The 312-8 now has a 20hp Honda engine and is going to plow the drive this winter. The 312 (now a 320) got some fresh paint and both received new decals from redoyourhorse which look great. I started to notice the 8 speeds shifter not feeling right and noticed the whole stick wanting to twist. I have not removed it yet but it appears I have a broken roll pin that holds the donut to the stick. I’m sure I could source a pin but I’m wondering it I could take it out, clean and line it up and weld it in place. Is the donut weldable steel? It looks like it probably is but I don’t have it out yet. Anyone weld one? Not sure if it could be cast or even bronze like a bushing. Seems like a few tack welds would be more solid unless that’s a bad idea for a reason unknown to me.

Was that for Halloween?

Used my wheelbarrow today.

You may just have a loose dog point allen head screw that locks the shifter in place. Lift the rubber boot and on the front side of the collard on the top of the transmission shifter hole you will see this dog point set screw. It has a jam nut on it, so back that off. Get transmission in netural, then remove shifter and inspect ball and its pin, I 'm betting its OK. Notice the ball has a recessed spot on it. Reinstall shifter and line up recessed spot with dog point screw. Adjust dog point so it lightly grabs ball, but shifter moves with just a little friction. Hold the dog point with the allen wrench and snug up the jam nut to lock it in place.

I use the "C" clamp style. Keeps the valve against the seat. Then a dab of grease on the keeper groove of the valve and on the keeper. A pencil magnet and a tiny straight blade screwdriver. I also have the block on the bench and tilted so gravity assists on getting the keeper in place.

This week's project at work. Repairing a tube system blower fault. Defective 4 position board. Tells the computer if the blower for the zone is in pressure or vacuum position or neutral.

When I have any of my grandchildren in the car, we sing along to “Great Big Words” by Tom Chapin. Each word being carefully e-nun-ci-a-ted! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D5eh2Jhd5v88&ved=2ahUKEwiuuY2Cl7iOAxX9FlkFHaIXHHIQwqsBegQIEhAF&usg=AOvVaw3t6uhWs9omytcW8-yAendv

I raised the seat on both of my grandkids Rangers.

I don't know if it was an Ohio thing (where I was born and lived for the first 11 years of my life and where my parents were born), but it was always "Pee Can". Back in the early 1980's I was working with some good old boys in the oil fields in Eastern TX, and my one older coworker (who was a really great guy so I didn't mind), when I said "Pee Can", he said "You dang dumb Yankee!! It's 'Puh Cawn'! ". I deferred to him ever since then, although I slip now and then. Since my wife mostly grew up in GA, AL, and WV, she promptly corrects me.

I have been talking to Brian at KB about reproducing the Hi Lo fork. It's next on his list. Hopefully it will happen!

Puh-CAWN....... Back in the 1970's when we would visit my dad's side of the family in Sherman, NY, my Aunt Julie would always LOVE the big Folgers can full of pecans that my dad would give her. Inevitably, she would say, "Oh, BOY!!!!!! PEE-CANS!!!"

So I put the RJ58 on hold until I can get some parts for it so back to the 704 I got the belt guard done last night and today planning on fixing the fender pan since I can't find one right now and take the transmission apart and replace the bearings

It realy doesn't matter how it's pronounced as long as someone is making a pie with them.

Thanks, I don't know how many times I have used that diploma on here and you are the first one to notice the typo. I have fixed it! Any day now @Pullstart will have accumulated sufficient credits to earn his "Doctorate of Disaster" so he can publish his "Thesis of Tragedy".

My mistake. Didn't really know how to post. Only been on since yesterday. Sorry

Rylee’s Screamin’ Jimmy had the valve keeper come loose somehow one time. That’s the way I bought it. I replaced the valve and keepers and was good to gol sometimes you don’t know until you dig in.

IDK but......if they did the machines would be way to reliable! My experience with boats over the years is they always need something repaired.

Sometimes you gotta throw stuff against the wall and see what sticks.

OK it went from a tractor show to a family reunion...

No, it was my fat-finger typing coupled with mild dyslexia that allows me to overlook typographical errors.

Well @Teddy da Bear62 glad you got things rolling again. With the holiday and then everything getting flooded here in NC, I've been having to work pretty much around the clock so this has pretty much been sitting and waiting on me. I soaked it with penentrant for over a month now and tonight I put a pipe extension on the pipe wrench and just decided that it was time to move it along. It ain't pretty but it's out and now I can get moving on the reassembly. I don't think that thing had been turned in years.

Have you no sense of adventure lol

Yep and I'll add. Voltage = pressure Amperge = flow Ohm = restriction (pipe friction, elbows) Switch = shutoff valve wire guage = pipe size

I know it's not deer or fish but how about duck ? My good friend Ray is an unbelievable artist. He has been on a hot streak lately winning 2 duck stamp contests for this year. One for Ohio and one for Virginia. His paintings look like photo's. Here are his 2 winning paintings that will be the 2025 stamps for each state. Top one is Virgina, bottom is Ohio
