What are you doing today? Thread

[DAM shop]

So today after work we drug out a 90 we picked up a few weeks back. Wanted to see if had spark, it did and as you all know all we need is spark and fuel for a motor to run. Well after a carb disassembly and cleaning we were riding around the yard. Unfortunately the timing chain is out of adjustment and needs replacing.
On to trike 2, no tires so we thru it in back of the j.d. trailer and hauled it up to the shop. Had spark, didn't even clean the carb on this one, got fuel to the carb pulled the rope she fired up, never would have guessed that one.
You got to love these old 90 and 110's, so simple and basically bullet proof.
Watch out Shortline we are may be catching your yearly trike number.

Contemplated how cheap I am. Instead of throwing out old bed rails I grind and punch the rivets out to make cheap angle iron for non-critical project like the dunnage box on my crane truck




Another of my “never throw anything out” issues. A bucket of corners trimmed off of projects. There are always these triangles left over and they are great for gussets

There is nothing wrong with you and as i type this i am thinking we could be very closley related. Pure gold you got there! I'm same way.

That's not cheap that's using what you've got. I love seeing stuff that most people would throw away turned into something useful.

Now ordering water at a nice restaurant and stealing the lemons from the abandoned tea glasses at the table next to you and making lemonade with the Splenda packets, is cheap. Bonus points for asking them for their lemons while they're still sitting there

Old bed rails make good angle iron for projects

I keep everything.....you just never know

Amen

Well the wife let me upgrade my boom lift
Sold the trailer model


Got a 40ft 4wd 2000 jlg for the same money. 3500 hrs, diesel. Weight is 11,600 so if I want to haul it will be a cdl I guess. Still much more convenient for around the farm use. I have hauled the trailer one zero time in the past 3 yrs of ownership
225$ to haul it today 30 miles. Not terrible

Waterford speedbowl, was this the back to school bash? We use to go there a couple times a yr. spring/fall for these events.
Last I heard they closed? Crud I guess we missed out. Looked like a great time/ can’t believe we missed it....
I’ll keep a better look out for next yr I guess

New London Waterford Speedbowl is under new ownership it was closed for a while

good news this was not the back to school bash. I will find out the exact dates of that and let you know.

Any body local that wants to enter the trailer race please get ahold of me. Those are hilarious. Some serious competitors

Boom lift = tree trimming

Seeing all these tractor and equipment pics made me wanna share what my last few weeks have consisted of. I went from not having any tractors to having two! The old Ford has a very cool history behind it. My father in-law's grandfather bought the tractor when it was only a couple years old and was farmed with until the mid 90s. The tractor had sat out in a hedgerow until I brought it home a few weeks ago. My father in-law gave it to me as a wedding gift haha. A few hours of tinkering and I got it running like a dream. The Kubota I purchased last Friday for CHEAP. Dirt cheap actually because it needed a clutch. I drove it home down the dirt roads and split it the next day. I just got it back together this morning and moved a whole pile of gravel with it. First Kubota I have ever split, seemed far easier than alot of the Deere's I have split in the past.
