If he finished that glass before getting it done. LOL

So I seem to have left y'all hangin' here. I found some time tonight to letter the hood & engine fan shroud. I wish that I had more to show but I've been dealing with O.P.S ( Other People's Sh..tuff). Got a Scrub Cadet that I'm painting this weekend and I also have a Simple-city paint job to get off my plate before I will get back to my own project. TTFN.

February 28, 1983 Final TV episode of "M*A*S*H" airs on CBS, a two-hour special directed by series star Alan Alda titled "Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen"; a record 125 million viewers watch in the US, a record that remains unbroken over forty years later.

That would be great if it came true. We could always use more venders. EBay is getting crazy =$$ for what you buy. More is always better. Competition drives down prices instead of inflating it..

When I got my first horse, iSaveTractors' parts and some of their videos accelerated my success. I just saw this post on FB and thought it was worth sharing here.

There was a car dealer near us who sold Rolls-Royce and was one of the biggest Corvette dealers in the country at that time. Palmyra Motors. Sold cars at $49 over invoice I worked with a couple of his former employees and they would tell this story of a guy who the owner brought in to pinstripe the cars. Guy was boozed up to the brim and they would send a plane to NYC to pick him up. They would have to carry him to the roller stool. When he was done, carry him back to the car to get him back to the airport. They called him " Shady Deal " because he started up his business selling cars at his house under a tree. Late in life I would see him riding around Newark NY in his Rolls. Had long hair a funky hat and a fur coat!

And don't forget the cool car magnets you get too

Happy Birthday

The outside diameter of the seal will always be larger than the housing bore. That .003"-.005" difference is what holds the seal in the bore once it is installed. Also known as interference fit.

You smelling what I’m smelling? That’s a lotta candles in the wind! Happy birthday Squnky!

Cool

I have used alumiumn hex on cables drilled and tapped to hold cable with a set screw. They were used for control cables on gocarts, don't know if they would work in that heavy appaction. A friend silver solder the hand brake cable on my Toyota when I could not fine a replacement. Don't have any ideal what silver solder cost now. I do know the tempture isn't as high as brass. I tried brass and had the same results as 953 nut.

We have about everything you needed to keep your farm up and running . We made custom hydraulic hoses, roller chain, spreader/elevator chain, spark, plug wires, battery cables, plus much more, including cables. Have any old farm stores , hardware store or dealerships nearby that might have a hydraulic crimper . Now days all the large farms around us have all this equipment and supplies in their shops . Our local NAPA has ability to make most of these items nowadays. I’m just throwing stuff out there Jim as I’m sure you have racked your brain thinking of solutions .

@CD Long Jr yup , linkages and levers , can easily get off track , typically not even thought of as a trouble spot , also like the cable wrap / reroute in congested areas . like red aerosol grease , movement spots , thats what got me going on COLLECTIVE DRAG AREAS , you don't even think about it , add a number of related areas , WHY IS THIS SET UP SO , DIFFICULT TO USE ? you are doing very well , verify as you go , add a trouble / issue tag , for corrective action . keep your head down ! pete

I'm lost Truck ... I would think it would greatly decrease the force required? Kinda like a $natch block for a winch. No matter Joe that's using the old noggin for other than a hat rack. What I'm afraid of Richard. Oh well it's a experiment.

I tried this contraption a few years ago, worked pretty good.

He can do a better job sloshed than I can do stone cold sober ...

Just enough to steady the hands.

Is that the mandatory detailing drink !?!?!?!? Works for me

If the women don’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy!

Some assembly today. No, not on the tractor. I put together the plow that I painted a few weeks ago. Normally I spread grease on the shiny portions of my plows for storage. This plow I plan to display with the tractor this year so I really don't want do deal with a plow full of grease when I'm handling and transporting it around. So instead of grease I choose to spray the shiny portions with Till-Guard. This paint is designed to protect the polished surface and to scour off when the plow is put back in use. One up front warning - this stuff really thin and runs very easily. Very thin coats or spray like normal paint and wait for your runs to reach the bottom of the share & let them drip off. Question time - Can anyone tell me if this is actually a plow?. Reason that I ask is because in the pictures that I find the plows have a turn buckle to adjust pitch. This one has an L bolt with 2 nuts on the adjuster.

Happy Valentine's Day !! Being as such, it seemed like a good day to spray some red paint. The outside temp in the low 50's also made the shop easy to heat. A big THANK YOU to Jim for helping me wet sand this morning.
