    Oxy/Acetylene options

    I bought an old set recently from a woman whose husband had recently died. Small bottles, I don’t even know the size? No idea what will happen when I need to fill them. She said her husband had inherited them years ago, and had never used them. Maybe I will be SOL…

    Ih 706 tractor pulling speed

    Proably 40 plus years ago, we took our Minneapolis Moline M-5 diesel tomthe local pull, first pull we ever tried. Loaded tires, cab, so kinda heavy. Too heavy for 7500 lb class, so ended up in 10,000 class. 100 hp max in that one. We entered twice, 2 different drivers. My brother in law went...

    New guy, question.

    About 8 years ago I was shopping for a tractor for year around use, but primarily for snow removal. Did a lot of searching, finally found a 1992 Kubota L2650 with a Sims cab, loader, and a 62 inch front mounted blower. Was very well maintained and had a little over 1300 hours on it. It's 29...

    Seed Potatoes Needed

    We traditionally have planted Red Pontiac. The last couple of years we have had trouble finding them here in Northern Lower Michigan. No idea why. I called a local feed supply store yesterday where we used to always get them about this. They expect to get some, didn’t know how many, and took my...

    The trucking industry is seriously effed up...

    White Coat Syndrome is real, and I have it too. Have struggled with it for years, and can't seem to shake it, especially at my CDL physical. Last fall I went in for my annual, and of course my BP pegged. Couldn't get it to go down, finally they were done trying as I had been there for quite a...

    Ford 1600 cab

    I am quite satisfied with the cab. I have a front blower on the tractor, and I get zero snow on me. No heat in it, but I never wear more than jeans and a carhart coat. Eventually my fingers get cold, but they always do. I do have some pics of the tractor, but have never tried to attach them on here.

    Ford 1600 cab

    For what it’s worth, I have a 1992 Kubota L2650 with a Sims cab. Metal frame, front glass windshield and canvas snap in sides and back. Sides and back are plastic windows. They havent yellowed at all. I did have one plastic replaced when I got too close to a tree and poked a large branch through...

    Hofferbert Sales

    Used to be a big old wood furnace in Tillman Hardware, this time of year it was kind of a gathering place for the locals. My Dad was there often. The last Tillman owner was third generation, and a few years younger than me. Dad hauled equipment some for him for a while part time. It was a good...

    What a mess!!!

    We have lived in this house 39 years, and have it to clean up every spring. Doesn’t seem to matter which county truck driver, have been many different ones over the years. I have used rakes and wheelbarrows, blade on tractor, and the self propelled walk behind power brooms. The power brooms work...
