Next time I'm over at my buddy's, I'll get some pics of his steam tractors. I don't know if he still does it haven't seen him in a couple of years, but he used to have a sawing party on the second weekend of October. Everybody brings food to share and they make up a small batch of Apple Jack in a small still. He saws up logs, old telephone poles, and lumber and everybody kind of pitches in moving logs and stuff. Good times!

He also has a big hand in the local Threshing Show, some pretty cool stuff there.

I always wanted to "flirt" with an old steam engine.

You could purchase those little model boats and little working steam engines but it's not the same. When we move...and I have more room I may do it. Hook it up to plastikos mill and pretend like it's the 70's.......1870's

I think this calls for a sawmill thread...

Agree trip!

Nice motor knap

Ottawa hit miss log saw

I had one of those once. It was more efficient to try and chew my way through the log but it was cool

rusty, old, loud

The perfect name for my autobiography!

Just finished up about 4 hours of replacing mouse-chewed wiring in a 98 Polaris Xplorer. Cut out the nibbled stuff, splice, solder, and shrink wrap.

Found 3 big mouse nests, fragrant ones at that. A mummified adult mouse and 2 baby mouse skeletons in the bottom of the airbox. New battery with a new Battery Tender jr hooked to it. Greased all the zerks, checked, changed or filled any fluids except for the tranny.

Tomorrow I'll changed the trans oil, clean the clutches, put the front tires back on and hopefully get it back up the street to the 82 year old neighbor for hauling firewood and plowing his driveway.

Nothing like that dead mouse smell, we have one dead somewhere in the garage, takes about three weeks for Smell to abate

The very definition of flatulent success.

Got to love these old Honda's

I would love to find an old one like that

Steam anything is awesome, I've always been fascinated. If I own property again somewhere else, I'd like to have a steam powered something or other.

I just watched a few videos from Jay Leno's garage..........him explaining his old steam powered tractor and a couple cars.....White and the Stanley Steamer. It was really fascinating.

Just swapped out the water reservoir and ice maker lines on the frig. Replaced the compressor start relay a couple weeks ago. 20 yo old frig. Wifey wants a new on, but from what I hear they only last 5-7 years now. I'm gonna make this one last as long as I can

Bought a new stove last summer, display went out on the old one and I couldn't find a replacement, new or used. The new one is a POS. Flimsy, wimpy POS. About all I can say is good about is it does cook our food.....

Appliances manufactured today are generally junk compared to appliances decades old. When we bought our house the sellers asked if we wanted the old Frigidaire in the basement. It just crapped out this summer and by crapping out I mean it just froze everything, you could no longer regulate the temperature.

Wife wants to repair it, but I want to let it RIP. I joke with my Chevy friends this is the only GM thing I have owned in my life

That fridge is too nice to scrap. It might make a nice toolbox or storage cabinet. I love the emblems.
