    What happened to pickups??

    Coming home on a long distance trip and about 200 miles out had to stop at a rest area to catch 40 winks. With a little reworking and some plywood, that space behind the seat would make a reasonable bed.

    Hopefully easy restart fix

    Thanks for the replies. I’ll shut off the fuel next time I run it. It’s parked over at a neighbor’s where I’m cutting some firewood and it’s wet from recent rains now so it’ll be a while before I get back to it. Gerrit

    Hopefully easy restart fix

    The tractor I rely on is my MF 40. Starts right up when I turn the key cold. Runs well, maybe an occasional miss. After I've worked it and it's warmed up, I go to restart and have to crank, crank, crank repeatedly. Finally grumbles to life and I don't know what to troubleshoot since it normally...

    Lots of tires..what does it cost daily to hire a rig like this ?

    Interesting that it has a cradle for the boom up near the cab. Wonder why they used the trailer/dolly instead?

    Ford tools

    I recognize some that came with my Model T Ford. Couldn’t tell you what they were for— plenty of things broke, but I used modern tools to fix.

    Wicked saw

    That's interesting. Wonder what the selling points were for the Sally saw, because it's my understanding chain saws were available then. Makes my back hurt just looking at that saw.

    "Air Cannon" equivalent for small tires.

    Isn’t there some technique where you pour something flammable/explosive in there then toss a match? Sounds fun and dangerous and might even work.

    Looking to buy a pair of binoculars

    I bough a pair of Vortex, model might be Diamondback. That's what it says on the binoculars anyway. Bought new a couple of years ago for basic wildlife viewing, power is 10x42. Fairly compact and came with some accessories like a holder of some kind that attaches to your chest area which I never...

    Farm art.

    They can look good in the right place. Before I got rid of my McCormick-Deering project tractor all on steel, I’d considered parking it near the end of my driveway as a display piece. It was too big, would have looked out of place. Needed a few more open acres to relax in. Someone bought it for...

    Trailer wiring

    I was surprised to see “mounting the wench.” I come here for good, clean fun.

    TO-30 and Ferguson wagon earning their keep...

    That’s interesting to know; I was always impressed by the quality of the fruit, considering how little effort I put into it. BTW my Massey Ferguson 40 with a Ford loader keeps going. It’s my main tractor, has the Continental Z134 engine and hi-Lo transmission.

    TO-30 and Ferguson wagon earning their keep...

    Beautiful fruit. At my old place the asian pears did best out of all the fruit trees I planted. Cherries did well, too. Didn’t spray, everything turned out fine.

    Metal cutting blade in a sawzall. Need to clamp the hose in a vise.

    Steam engine model failures

    Yes, hexamine. Looks like people use them for camp stoves and other things. Maybe an emergency backup fuel as they are pretty small.

    Steam engine model failures

    Amazing work, hard to get my mind around how intricate it is. Thanks for sharing, hope the models are displayed where people can appreciate them. Gerrit
