    When you need a tall perch

    Honestly,that looks like a private lane or driveway to me.If it was a regularly travelled road there would be squished grass on the sides from cars pulling over to pass each other.No tire marks either.On any public dirt road there always little spin and skid marks.On private roads the owners...

    Today’s Truck

    I hadn't noticed that.Those things did need duals as they gobbled a tremendous amount of air.Then I realized that unless there is a second air filter on the other side that one on the drivers side wouldn't come close to feeding that buzzin dozen.

    Today’s Truck

    Just a guess that he is hauling a pair of generators headed for oil fields,forestry operations,mining operations,etc.Although those stainless tanks on the units make me thing they are for some kind of chemicals,not just plain old fuel oil.I rode in a Brockway with one of those V 12's back around...

    1988/89 Case 1835c

    Is this tractor being sold through an ad,or online? Or,is it one you have looked at and put your hands on.The price is really about 1/3 of what it should be,at least here anyway.They are a good tractor to own.Number three injector looks wet,but it also looks like the block off stub for the...

    What happened to pickups??

    Most guys here that ran 318's were beginners,and ran them until they could afford a truck with a real motor.Trucks that had them were mostly old fleet trucks,they were a cheap priced motor when new.Drop 250 RPM below the governed 2100 and you were out of the power band.I have seen guys that...

    Florida Solar panels questions

    I really think that most people that hate them have no understanding about how they work.Some seem to think that if the sun isn't perfectly positioned,your house will run out of juice.One brother in law did his about 15 years ago,and did geothermal heating and cooling along with it.His estimated...

    Just picked up a Stihl pole saw---looking for operator tips

    My pole saw cuts at 55 feet.For years I used a couple of cheapo Remington 10 foot electric saws.They're really outdated,and clumsy,but are still working.Any of the new saws are 10 times easier to work.I planned to buy modern saws when these wore out,but it's probably not going to happen.I have...

    I think I have seen it all now

    Guy that lived near my grandfather learned to ride a uni-cycle when he was young,and never grew out of it.Always smiling and waving,and almost always had a can of mountain dew in his hand.But,when it was hot he would have a Michelob in his hand.He was never a real drinker,he just said he had to...

    Cement Mixer Advice

    I don't know of any places around here that does the one yard mix trailer thing anymore.My dad used to use one of those a lot,for small customer projects.Great idea for footings,patios,filling sonotubes for additions and breezeways,etc.He's arrange for me to haul the wagon,as they wouldn't let...

    Cement Mixer Advice

    I don't know what it's like where you are,but around me there was a Sears mixer in every other backyard.I have two that are working,and two more in the scrap pile that are probably good.I did actually pay money for one of them,it was a 20 year old mixer bought new from Sears and never used,I did...

    Cement Mixer Advice

    Six years ago when I rebuilt my house I had to pour 10 piers for the overhang.I have a big pile of concrete rubble in the bushes,so I picked out 10 slabs,about 3X3,dug the holes,and set a slab in the bottom of each one.Got them leveled up and dry stacked concrete blocks up to the level I...

    Cement Mixer Advice

    200 square feet at 4 inches thick is about 150 60 pound bags.I forget how many 80 pound bags it comes out to be.Concrete should really be poured in one shot.Never really bonds to itself by pouring some one day,then more butted up to it the next.Concrete right now here is around $150.- $180.per...

    chain on new idea 14 A manuer spreader

    If you are going to replace the chain,just use bolt cutters on it.Usually takes 4 snips,but in your case it will only need two.

    Today’s Truck

    Early module,(container ) behind it too.I have read about how they started to get popular when they found they could load up,then not have to touch or reload.The idea was great for meats and other perishables.

    Two piece tractor rims

    The guy that showed me how to change those tires when I was about 17 would not use a vertical cage.He showed me how the weight of the wheel could settle toward the bottom,leaving it offset,or not centered in the tire.If you knew what you were looking at you could tap it around as you started...
