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.
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
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...
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

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
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

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).
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?
