Re: What odd jobs did you do today? sonny 03/17/2024 02:22 PM
Thats a LOTTA miles Jim! WOW!! My 97 F-350 has 122,000 and is junk! PLUS they said the original motor blew up at 60,000!-- so this motor has 62,000 and always something broke on it! My 96 F-350 has 80,000 on it. 5.8 gas and so far has been a lifesaver this winter hauling blocks and stuff from the auction in December. The 98 Explorer has around 165,000 on it 4.0 v-6. Been a good one too cept the stupid automatic transmissions in all of them are iffy!!

Got compost spread yesterday,--hauled in 2 more loads , got the cc to run so now gotta fix 1 front tire so it will hold air for more than an hour. Hope to get the JD 420 -c crawler loader running this year( gotta pull the motor out and put a new master clutch in it.) and Get the injection pump off the Case 1835 b skidder and have it fixed. Kinda miss that loader. a lot easier to get on and off of than the big New Holland 781.

I agree on the complicated shit that only causes trouble! My old 73 F-250 Hi-Boy only has levers on the floor, manual lock-out hubs and a carb on the 300 motor I put in it! --- ALSO a hand choke! lol! This 98 Explorer has switches that dont work! S'POSED to have 4 low , 4 High , but last time I tried to use 4 low I couldnt get it back into 4 High! I finally shifted back on its own while sitting in the drive. Never touched it again! It runs full time 4x4 High so I leave it there. Got a sensor or some valve on top of the motor messed up cause it slobbers when its cold then dies. Usually starts back up and runs fine. Had it to Gearheads garage and they never fixed it so it still slobbers. Got lucky this winter cause I have the new 96 350 and didnt go anywhere anyhow! lol!
Anyway now on to figuring out how to get the damn track back on the mini-hoe!

Dont have any calendars, ----- UNLESS somebody sends me some! LOL! Found a small bench vise that clamps to a bench. It might be handy also in there. Too small for serious hammering but about right to hold saws down while hand filing. I usually hand file a few times then take chains off and put them on the regular grinder.

Re: greenhouse build sonny 02/18/2024 03:00 PM
They call it Thermaglass. Its 2 layers of hard stuff with air space between. ( has a gazillion tubes inside) Its 1/4" thick and fairly hard. I am putting strips over the outside to help keep the wind from suckin the panels off. I know we dont have any wind out here!! LOL!!! The main posts are 3' centers and set 3' deep in the ground to hold it down.
