I’ve been up close to the full-size Case Quad-track and it is a beast--specifically designed for farms with soft or damp fields, it distributes its weigh widely and is less likely to bog down when pulling large implements . This operating scale model is an amazing piece of work!

Wow. Parallel lives. The lot we bought to build on was densely overgrown and poison ivy heaven--we saw the perimeter and a bit of the wooded area but just trusted the rest would be ok. We knew it was once was the formal garden and rear lawn of a manor house that burned which lead to the property being divided and knew we’d become the owners of the 1880’s brick-and-stone water tower that served the property before the village had a water distribution system. Upon clearing the growth, though, we found some surprises: a hand-dug well almost 20’ deep, an adjacent underground pump room, and a 10’ diameter concrete fountain! There was lots of buried, rusty piping for irrigation, too. Only the pump room was unsalvageable, so we filled it with all the big rocks we found when clearing for our lawn and...then we put a deck over it!

We could probably fix you right up if I would stop killing them. Note- King and black snakes get a pass. All others are legitimate targets. By all others I mean not black or black and white banded. We have several varieties of poisonous sneks here. Copperhead (bit me several years back), cottonmouth, rattlers, and coral snakes.

The 312-H at my son’s place got it’s share of TLC this weekend. Saturday: take off the snow blade & wheel weights, sharpen and lube recycler deck and install Today: swapped in LED headlights, and a new battery (O’Reilly’s), rewired the power for the seat-back utility light, and installed a rear rock shaft (made by @JoeM & bought at the BS last year), lift cable, and sleeve hitch. Found a couple of item’s we’ll have to get to soon. Maintenance is never ending!

Extra small wheels too.

Last night I installed the hitch I ordered from wheelhorsepartsandmore. Bolted up nice on my 1257 and seems like very good quality, I look forward to using it. Thank you @wheelhorseman .

Being present for young peoples’ events often has deeper impact that you might think. Well done.

No like Snek.

This afternoon at work I got a Focus that wouldn't start. Starter ran, but didn't engage the flywheel. I took the starter off and a pressure plate finger came out with it. That will be fun to find out what broke. Tonight was the last meeting, and Spring awards ceremony, for our local AHG troop. My daughter, my son's GF, and two other girls from our church are all members of this troop, so I enjoy going to those events.

Hello I successfully removed the B100 muffler pipe adapters. I used D-40, low heat, a pipe wrench, and gentle knocks. Thanks to everyone who helped with this topic previously. B100_Muffler_pipe_removed.mp4 B100_Muffler_pipe_removed_v1.mp4

My wife yes ... my dog maybe ... my tractor never. Yep oh ok... he had had that at portage last year and I made an offer he refused. He did give me dibs tho.

You get to talk to the guy with the Lennox Kitty Track Jeff? Is it for sale???

That Power King was custom built (using factory Power King parts) for the sloooow race, his total reduction ratio is 7780 to 1. 😳

Only five - ten yards or so Joe. Last guy to cross the finish line wins. If your tractor stops rolling you get black flagged. Hydros generally rule. I did it once on a six speed in 1st/low with the idle turned way down to chug chug and still got beat. Imagine it didn't do any favors for the motor being splash lubed. Would be another good tractor game at the BS.

Meadofield: You have a gift. The quality of your work is A plus. I wish I had half your talent and you have all the right equipment to do the job. Always enjoyed your post.

I had to go back through this thread for reference. Wow you have done alot of fabrication to get the Suburban to this point! And the work is spectacular! Well done! I hope you find a hood. Keep an eye on Ebay as well. Pricey I am sure, but you may get lucky.

A bit further, it’s been good weather for painting! Never thought of using marinara Looks great as always!

I wonder if one could be made with the right dimensions and stuff since you at least have the front nose part of it
