These things still impresses me of just how often it's useful. Let's see your loaders in action.

I used mine at least 2-3 times a week. from gravel to using it as a saw horse. one the best builds. Wood Haul dead 518 snow removal just one scoop please

I mount all of my canister mufflers pointed forward. It won't eliminate sharp tones but at least they are pointed away from the driver.

Got ready for trick or treaters

They ain't green and that's all that counts around here!

Got the 701 zipped back up today but not before taking governor arm, speed disc, and bushing nut off, cleaning them up and making sure the moved like they were supposed to. Really helped with throttle control. Decided to leave muffler in its original color, for now. Should be good for another 65 years or more.

Setting up my 48” 5 sector plow with the extension kit so it’ll work on my swept axle 520-8.

There’s a lot to love about calzones — and very little (if anything) to dislike about them. That’s why those of us here at National Today are going to celebrate National Calzone Day on November 1 by stuffing a calzone with our favorite pizza toppings and then stuffing ourselves with the results. Of course, since a calzone is actually a folded pizza, those toppings are not really toppings so much as stuffings. Anyway, stuffing is the key — and stuffed we will be — on National Calzone Day. Join us on this most tasty of holidays for some honest-to-goodness goodness.

I'll answer for him, yes it is! That was when he was cute,

Last night I went through a similar exercise but stopped soon after the pipe was collapsing. Really didn't want to crack a 50 y/o cylinder block. Chased the threads for a surface-mounted muffler and split the nipple with a hacksaw and collapsed it with a punch. Recovered a Nelson from a K301 in the garage and was able to get the hood back on my 312-8 that's turning out to be a really great yard horse

Just can't understand why some people call them a Snoopy key.

1989, 414-8

What started out as a transaxle gasket replacement on Frankenhorse, has devolved into a much deeper adventure. Once I saw this ex-filter, I decided to go ahead and do a deeper dive. Now, I'm reading up on @daveoman1966's literature.

Up will be down and down will be up. That valve doesn't care where the fluid is being sent. That cylinder is double acting and will respond to pressure applied. Should be fine.

I like your idea of the black dust caps on top of the spindles, what size are they? I presume they are readily available. My back hurts just thinking about trying to remove that mower deck! Is that a 48" off of a Bradley Fighting Vehicle...

Red is one of the colors that everyone sees differently. Some folks see orange whilst others will see a dark shade. It all depends on how much color blindness you have.

For sure the October cover!!

I learn something here every day

Today, on my day off I got called in to work to cover for a co worker who called out. I did, However take the C-141 for a spin to charge up the battery. I figured I'd run it after I had to boost it to get it to run. I use black hi temp grill paint on my exhausts and that seems to stay pretty well.

Definitely a great accomplishment using incredible technology. The greatest accomplishment is however the ability to have one's hands create what is in one's mind, most times creating something that perhaps no one else can imitate or duplicate.Something that leaves you in awe wondering how it is possible. A testament to the vision, skill, patience and determination of what an individual can accomplish. This is something that comes from one's heart and soul and rarely learned. You either have it or you don't. I still don't know what I did to deserve to look at this everyday but I am eternally grateful.

All those are basically the same tractor as my 68 Commando 8, nothing rare about them. Just model changes yearly.

I like the fall colors in this one

There is a way I use .....#1 I keep soaking it with any anti seize spray inside and out, then #2 I start the engine to get the whole block hot #3 shut the engine and have a torch ready to heat around the port to add more heat. #4 then very quickly wrap the seized nipple with a cold soaked wet rage for about 15 seconds. #5 quickly remove wet rag and then try the pipe wrench. Id say about 75 to 90% of the time this works. Sometimes if you repeat this procedure it will eventually come loose, put just be patient with it and dont rush it. I found the biggest problen is whom ever tightened the nipple into the block tightened it in like a plumber would so no leaks and this is way to tight and yes can eventually crack the block. The best way is always use a new nipple, thread it in with high heat anti seize only finger tight. Then with a wrench only give it 1/4 clock wise turn, after all the piping and muffler are installed make a bolt on bracked from the block to the nippel closest the the mufler and just basically eliminates the seizing problem. Im a steam fitter /plumber and trust me this always works on the Kohlers Ive rebuilt. Good luck I hope this helps, Mike Hendrick.

Longer soak. ATF and acetone. Flip it over to hold the liquid.

Ya flipping a house or having a pretty bad day?

Hood-stand plate and console decals punched and applied.

Like an inside-out Pizza.

I LOVE a good calzone!!

A 12 point deep socket was needed, had to go buy one because none of my sets had one.

Original red on a 64. This tractor was about 5 years old in this pic.

Red is red... said no one, ever.

I think it breaks the rules of no “humans” technically, the headless horseman is human.

Those are coil packs. I kinda doubt it. Nova has/had a points eliminator. I had a couple but it's my understanding that they won't work on a battery ignition.

Clyde, the C-195 got a bit of exercise moving the utility trailer to a better parking spot. Currently, Clyde is wearing a Cub muffler in a stack configuration. Since I wasn't going to be using him for very long, I didn't put my ear muffs on. The Cub muffler has a mellow tone, but without hearing protection, there is some sharpness to the exhaust note. 10 feet away, it is fairly quiet. The top of the stack is pretty close to ear level. That is probably part of the issue. Add an elbow to the top of the stack to 'point' the noise in a different direction? Remount the muffler beside the transmission and add a tail pipe, similar to the 8n setup? See if a Gravely muffler will fit under the hood where the stock Nelson muffler was? Of course, the easy one is always wear hearing protection.

Talk about directly encouraging him to drink the red koolaid

You two need to go into binding arbitration to settle this matter for the rest of us.

I do not have great pictures. Not my strong point

Well the trusty 312-8 and me mowed the lawn. I think I am down to one more cutting. Caught the sun perfectly just as I finished, less than 5 minutes later the window closed.

Hair too short

I mean i see it🤣🤣

Work Horse that was completed in the spring of 2025 hitched to wagon.
