    Thursday afternoon/evening I got our garden spot plowed. This was the first time I have used the C160 for this (I usually use my Speedex 1631). It did quite well! Since I acquired this C160 in 2018 (I think), I have only used it for tilling and cultivating.

    April 25,1901, New York becomes the first state to require license plates on cars, using the owners’ initials instead of numbers. Motorists must make their own plates, and they do so with a variety of materials, including wood and leather.

    Of course, accompanied with the obligatory registration fees... And, the first 27 people in line at the DMV are still waiting for their tags...

    Following a good rain, I took advantage of the soften ground and dragged the driveway. About once a year I stir the gravel. Looks like time to get a load of gravel delivered got a few areas of clay poking through. .

    I bought this one in 2014 a 312-8. I have made a few changes.

    We spent the night at Iowa 80 Truck Stop, and enjoyed a $17 shower and a trip to the fancy trucker buffet. Pictures of not showering facilities for reference Our morning started at 3:30am today, I practically slept in! The rest of the trip home was uneventful too, and we achieved better fuel mileage with Eloise than with the turd. On the similar return trip before, we hit 8.3 mpg without the genny running, and 7.9 factoring that in. This trip, we calculated 8.63-8.9 mpg at various fill ups along the way. 8.9 mpg for a monster brick like this, and comparing that to 10 mpg for a regular cab 4x4 6.0l gas Chevy 2500HD I used to own, I’d call this excellent!

    Original 1978 C-121. 42 in side discharge is close to new. Have brand new mule drive. Includes factory wheel weights, cigarette lighter, snow blade. All it needs is an owner. Thank you for looking

    The rear wheel have the same bolt pattern but the backset is different. an inch or more deeper 2-1/2 inch vs 1-3/8 for wheel horse. For hydros and some under seat gas tank there can be clearance issues. Tires will rub on stuff.

    Happy that you like your new rig. Even happier that you had a safe trip. Even happier yet - that I wasn't footing the bill to fill that fuel tank.

    I have been keeping up with the iron supplement and gaining a lot more energy. Started PT a few weeks back and am well on my way to regaining the strength that was lost while keeping hospital beds warm.

    Overnight the same night we got quite a rainstorm, perfect for settling the plowed garden. Once it dries out I will get it tilled and start planting. Meanwhile, the cabbage plants I babied through the winter have made some nice heads. I took two heads, chopped them, and am making some sauerkraut in a recently-acquired crock. I really like this crock.... it has a water seal between the top of the crock and the lid.... it lets fermentation gasses out, keeps air out. I'll let it ferment for another week or so. Last year I made my first batch of kraut using a food-grade bucket w/lid and a vapor lock in the lid. It turned out WONDERFULLY!

    The DMV gag now falls flat in NY State! Partly driven by the COVID epidemic, the DMV has dramatically overhauled its DMV with better training, specialization, systems, and management. The last three times I’ve had to go in person (routine transactions like renewals are all now available online) I was at the counter within minutes of my appointment and out of there promptly. The only downsides are that appointments are mandatory and the somewhat higher fees, but I think both were inevitable anyway.

    That would be cool for Wild Bill to wear at the parade. I've see vintage pics at Indy 500 and the guys on horses pulling the cars wearing those. They have to be extremely rare. Anything else of interest there Tom?

    Well, one of my cuts got a little off by about 1/4 inch and didn't come out straight. The wheel horse wheel cut great but the other one didn't. So I bent a 1/2 inch wide, 1/8 thick steel bar to line everything up. I scribed a mark .150 along the edge as a guide since one half of the wheel was straight. I used the line as a guide and clamped every inch until I was all the way around the wheel. Then I tacked the other half, working my way around. I repeatedly measured the width as I went, and then filled the inside gap with multiple passes after. The grinder and a flap disc cleaned the inside up nicely. If I ever do another set of these, I absolutely will do it this way. Alignment was much easier and it's probably stronger this way as well.

    Been working on something fun: A custom built RC truck with a 3d printed body, inspired by a 70s suburban. Vanquish VS4-10 chassis, well tested motor that's the same as the one in my brother's TRX4, going to be running a set of Falken Wildpeak tires on it, on 1.7" rims to get the clearance right. Going to get a leaf spring kit for the rear axle and keep the front axle coil spring. Still a lot of work but it's going to be super cool when it's done.

    I knew we were getting into the Midwest, when I saw the orange cap of a Fleet Farm! Tay got some drive time while I rested a couple minutes, but our 800 miles or so required a cat nap I guess. Like @Achto, I usually get my best shut eye behind the wheel!

    That is one advantage I have in a small town like Franklin, the DMV contracts out licensing and even during Covid when only one person could be in the building at a time I had about a two minute wait time.

    Yes. Several years ago. Kids had a long driveway. Made of wood scraps I had lying around. I used 1/2 carriage bolts. I wished I had used grade 8 maybe they wouldn't have bent over.

    Excellent. Why they chose white as the primary color is beyond me. The grease stains are very apparent, yet give it the air of authenticity. Well done!

    Yep. Welded all the way around both edges. Definitely more work than I wanted but if I ever try this again, this is how I will do it. Nice smooth edges. Won't harm a tube.

    This is the one I bought for my 416H. It just snaps into place. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/126472362456?_skw=wheel+horse+onan&itmmeta=01KQ2ZTJK2TX83VXPQZY655JAY&hash=item1d725719d8%3Ag%3AAZsAAOSw6n1mO5oq&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xDVjeLA%2FpU5q4iXxar%2FkIwc3nV1%2BEZ25SpxN5%2FwUTUTw4tvNckXz3V28ZZbaVk6A2DHNSsi8eRxUZg2oqHcoYK3xJbblEo5d7BHUquc9wi76%2BShqLHllbTJR70r%2FIsWYOaMTRRBIPDCy9rt3MwM2wCEjpgr27%2FNcuEBNix2d6UzGNQZeWhjjOQX2AsAWN6Jmk4HBQ20KUZ4HKngAIaz6U4c0g0btp7q6%2BNnlpywbdlXgRSfKX09Hirux8%2FGoYGRCWW1%2BZ6OFuCMyWIjAe5AeMpLApiTLNSL5uvPK6YhDddn%2FQ%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR-Kp6t-4Zw&LH_ItemCondition=3 I am not associated with this seller in any way but I have bought a few of these from them over the years and they are a good seller.

    The original BF Goodrich Silvertown All Purpose 6-12’s on my 854 are on the verge of aging out so I’m on the lookout for replacements. These, and their Firestone cousins, look like the snow tires of yesteryear. I’m not interested in Ag bar-style.

    .... rusted, scrapped, recycled, and resurrected as a gas cap door on a 2016 Toyota & a half a dozen tuna fish cans! Do you know how to double the value of a Bix Box Store grass cutter?? Top off the oil and the gas!

    I’m experimenting with this peppermint oil spray. I fire up the engine and shoot it right into the flywheel screen while it’s spinning. In theory it’s getting all over everything behind the shroud. Then a few shots behind the dash covering the ignition and any other wiring.
