Off topic anything 2021 Edition!

Gots to keep the old girl working! This is the second (and hopefully last) 4x8 trailer full of leaves, pine needles ect, I expect it to be as packed full as the first one was by the time I'm done! Then time for one last mow/sweep before putting the snowblower and tire chains on for the winter.

cool, that's a nice-looking g10! I have a friend who has one sitting and rotting away in their pasture.

i considered going round' town cleaning up leaves but ive gotta have a bigger trailer for that

Thanks I love this thing! I traded a derelict 1979 Chevy C10 for it and neither of us have any regrets! Man you have to save that thing, that's no way for a Bolens to go out! Lol.



Almost done, holy crap that trailer is packed and I do mean packed! No loose fill or it would've been 3 trailers! Lol

im building a small pallet covering shed thing for a couple old motors and mini bikes out of free materials ive collected

Welp, I don't know how many of you remember the 1978 Ford I posted in the classic car thread a while ago and that I said I was thinking about buying it, but regardless, something is finally happening...

man, that's a mint ole 78! also, did you get that rollback stuck? looks pretty muddy out there .

Lol, Yes we did get the thing stuck once it was on the rollback. We just yanked him back out with our Hummer H3 and we we're on our way!

Nice Ford!

Thank ya!

i got one of my old 8 horse brigg go kart motors running after sitting and it runs great, its a monster high compression bored out and ported with a race pipe and riding mower carb. whats left to do is a throttle and choke setup and put it on my coleman mini bike thats being triked

Heres my mini trike how its coming along so far i have the axle brackets temp mounted and the motor bolted in place

Cool beans! I've never seen one made up as a trike, it ought to be pretty cool!

ive seen baja warriors and the ct200u but not a coleman ct200u-ex

Got 1/3 of my shed cleaned up.  My shed has 3 sections.  This is the part with the cement floor.  Next section to clean out will be the gravel side.  The middle has a wooden floor.

yall know how one of your old toys comes back to you after a few years ive felt it multiple times considering ive had so many lol. my grandpa paid me i think 200 cash for my 90's MTD 22hp yard machines it had good tires nothin wrong with it, it was my first machine i did a wheelie on and my second rider i ever got he wants to trade me for my JD lx188 and he also is throwing in another 25hp intek with it and i think that is a pretty decent deal imma mst swap it and make it a racing mower because that was my origional plan for it

While out hunting down a dangerous wire break in the wilderness of Stouffville, I came across this little beauty hiding behind an old building! Crikey! She's been injured and left for dead... I approached slowly and was very cautious as I pointed the camera to capture her in such a vulnerable state, luckily I was able to come out of it unscathed! I spoke with the land owner and it sounds like he'd like her captured and relocated so the youngn's aren't harmed which means there could be a happy ending in her future! I'll keep you posted but for now this Tractor Hunter is back on the job! Lol

oooo wide frame cadet it looks to be a hydro possibly 109,129,149

Good eye(s)! Maybe can't see the details because of losing picture quality while uploading but you are right! She's a 149 hydrostatic!

cool I had an old 129 roller never got it going I was going to swap in a manual for pulling but cub cadet wide frame drive shafts and clutch plates are really freaking expensive

Took rally #2 out on a shakedown run yesterday. Few little fixes. Time to strip back down and brace the frame and add bumpers and paint lol.

I gone and done it now boys! I'm fed up with having to butt weld exhausts and the such so I scored this handheld, hydraulic tubing expander that does from 3/8" to 1-1/8" up to 2mm (3/32"?) thick tubing for about $180 Canadian. Works pretty slick!


First I tried it on some conduit to feel it out


Then I stepped it up to some 1.2mm thick tubing


It works great! I had to start with the 7/8" die then use the 1" to finish it off but I'm not upset about that!

I've ordered a heavy duty, bench mounted tubing bender for $200 (should have it in a week or 2) to go along with it so there will be no more hunting through scrap piles for pre-bent scrap or worrying about butt welds breaking (or obstructing flow) for this guy! Now I'll just be material shopping at the salvage yards! Lol. Yup, B's Place of Dumb#$ckery is pretty well equipped now, once the bender is in (and installed) and I've finished with the reorganization I'll give you all a little walk around of "The Workshed" (that's where the magic happens).

heck you can start manufacturing mud mower pipes now i might buy one LOL

One of my other hobbies is building custom fishing rods and I thought I'd show a light action I made last year. Or at least when the picture decides to upload heh.

MHX blank, 6' 6", fast action, 1/16 to 5/16 lure, set up with a pflueger president and 5 lb braid.

Already dragged in a nice bass or two and a crappie pushing 15 inches so I'm pretty happy with that.

cool! my dad runs a Pfluger president 6'6 medium-heavy combo he likes it a lot and has no issue pulling in the 20 in walleyes and 35-inch northerns. what type of braid are you runnin power pro?

Yep, even though right now the stuff is rarer than hens teeth. I like the power pro because it casts well and is made right here.
