Mountain Man breakfast this AM. Eggs, deer scrapple, home fries and onions.

I've almost finished the wife's bicycle. Just waiting on parts for the rear brakes.

Have a Great Day Bill And, thanks again for the 420-LSE Project

"I thought I made a mistake once...... but I was wrong"

Took a little stroll on the 701 and snapped this pic.

That sucks... Take it easy!!! Make sure BBT gets all your work done...

Wild stuff! I saw a corvette on the crusher at the local scrap yard a couple months back. They said they process more than you’d think! Most are totaled from a fire.

Have a Great Day

Maybe try taking the gas cap off the next time it does this, some people here have had problems with the vent clogging up and causing it to starve for fuel unless choked.

Swapped the 48” deck from my coaster C160 onto the the 314-8 with a little help from my oldest son. Had to remove the 42” off the 314 first. This was my first time removing the decks off of any WH. Really nice and well thought out. On a side note I did find a nice chunk of motor block from the K341. Found it on top of the 48” deck, still kind of heart broken.

I made some progress on the hydro deck lift retrofit tonight. The shaft is in and the ram is on. The shaft isn’t attached to the bar that lifts the deck as I wanted to go look at how it’s attached before I drill any holes etc…It still might need to be adjusted but I wanted to get things together then figure out where the sticking point is. More progress tomorrow…maybe

If your "U" clip is pinned to the PTO hoop, you will need to pull the hairpin clip at the bottom of the hoop and let the hoop drop down till the U clip clears the stub shaft. Then you should be able to swing the hoop to the rear and remove the belt.

Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love, and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.

Looking into the tank at the screen is misleading. I looked at one that seemed fine. but when I pulled it out there was a thin coating of gunk

Last trip to the scrapper I made the guy hit the magnet and the load and trailer went up, he shook the boom and the trailer came back down, scared the heck out of the wife! She just doesn't know how to enjoy life's little moments.

Things would work better with the rust cleaned off the connections!

Really hated to hear about the c-160 but that's a nice looking 314-8

I did but it came out crappy. I should do new plug wires might be the cause of the miss too. Not gonna worry about it for now since it's just a spare motor for a 520 or future build tractor. Will super tune it when the time comes. I have this crazy notion to put it in a plow mule.

I found my no spark problem. Turns out I had spark after all it was just very very dim or dare I say weak. Checking in the dark is the only way I could see it. Just the plugs laying on the block. Screwed it down to the bench with a IV bottle and she ran like a champ. A miss at throttle but most likely dirty carb.

A man walks into a mechanic's shop late at night. Man: "Can you help me? I think I'm a moth." Mechanic: "I'm a mechanic. You need a psychiatrist." Man: "Yeah, I know." Mechanic: "Well, why did you come here then?" Man: "Your light was on."

My work warehouse has been changing all the racks. Large metal pallet racks that hold many many 12.5 foot long siding pallets. Several other types of racks and various other steel items too. We've been making a few trips to the local metal recycling yard. Huge machinery. They have two long armed excavators that have the capacity to lift two cubed cars at once. Those machines also have an operator station "cab" that can raise itself to about 15 feet off the ground so the Loader person can see into a 13' 6" tall trailer. Always wide open throttle busy there. Been very interesting to see all that.

If you decide to replace, please don’t discard the original--someone here would likely take it to attempt a refurb.

Happy Birthday 🎉

I never made a mistake, but I eliminated a lot of things that I never did again.

I can't watch that stuff Joe ... I would have nightmares of a being in there.

@BillD nave a great day , get greasy , pete

Happy Happy Bill !

Happy Borned on Day, Bill

Happy Birthday Bill Hope you have a great day!

@Gregor Agreed! HAPPPPY BIRTHDAY

@ineedanother thank you sir!

Something oddly satisfying about watching this crusher run. they tossed in a small dozer, tracks and all, and it had little trouble cubing it up!

Yep, that's one of them Cube-bota's...

My Mom and Dad had a ski club called "The Ski-Boes" when they were younger. Custom beer mugs, patches etc. Lifelong friends ... Those mugs form the base of the shelves. All others represent fundamental elements of family life in artistic, not hierarchical form. BTW - I just grilled the first steak from my two early does... tell your friend that venison is indeed proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy!

Over the last several days I’ve been moving trailer loads of wood chips to cover our now-sunlit hillside. Goal is to prevent an explosion of weed growth on an un-mowable slope left by the arborists when we removed a bunch of invasive Norway Maple trees . I carved out a temporary level “notch” in the hillside to park the tractor and loaded trailer on the trips up the hill. I need the tire chains for traction (visible tracks in the pic) and I keep the mower deck and front weights mounted for extra confidence. (The trailer attaches to the below-rear-axle standard drawbar--also good.) Going down, I walk the empty trailer and drive the tractor in 1st with my foot holding the clutch pedal up firmly. Progress has been slow and exhausting so I’ll be hiring some workers to help me finish it off.
