Off Topic Anything 2024

@Brianator Well I mean he's got you there, Bigfoot wouldn't be a myth or a legend if he walked through Walmart

But he would go viral! Lol

Humm I don't know my sister looks pretty close, But somehow she's not viral

With my two jobs I might as well enter the build off so I have something to look forward to and take all year to build I've got a Husqvarna I paid 40$ for and it's axle shaft snapped out of the blue so I'm gonna manual swap it

Go for it!

Woot Woot!

We hit 10 different members in the build-off and 11 builds today!

Well Hi guys!
It's been a while for me for no real reason. lol
I just have not been working on my tractors as Putt Putt has simply not needed it.
My friend ended up selling his Murray Mud Mower "Scraptor". Which was a sad blow to our mud mower group.
M.U.T.T. Is still goin good with a new gas pedal!
I just pulled my Scrappy into the shop to finally work on him. I simply haven't had the time for him, but I do now!
I hope to keep somewhat active, and continue to update on the Scrappy project, but as my friend sold his Murray I won't have any more updates on it but they are building a new one so mabey I will update on that!

My psycho sister came outside at 12am and told me "Keep doing what you're doing I just want to take some pictures" despite sounding like Jeffrey Dahmer she took some pretty good pictures
   

Dang those are some good ones! Wish I knew someone who could do that lol.

Those are some wicked shots. Is she a photographer/ learning to be one?

@Doug Yes she's a hobby photographer. She's actually gotten really good with it and managed to get on a somewhat professional level!

Excerpt from the classic car thread…

Expect to see this car on our property. My brother plans on buying it.

Well friends, that day has finally come…




$150 and a rusted blue Gremlin was on my trailer. Just got it home. My brother bought it like he said he would when he was 9 (16 now) and he’s going to pressure wash and clean it out when the rain stops and then put it down in the woods where the portico is that his mowers are kept under and the parts are. This  thing is TRASH and absolutely not worth fixing but who really cares. It’s for the fun of it anyway.






Definitely not a rusted oil pan with roots in it.




Been off the road since 1984. The EAGLE was brand new when it was parked.

Aye! Pretty rusty. New frame and drivetrain, keep the patina and he's good to go. LOL.

I bet some forest critters are upset they'll have to find a new home now... poor buggers. Lol

What??? You don’t think a little WD40 will get that motor turning??? Lol. Actually though, the frame is pretty solid. It’s seems to all be there and even has paint on it still. The floors are non-existent and the body is a little crusty here and there but overall really not that bad. It’s about like the Courier was I think… he’ll know more next week when he cleans it up. Yeah it’s still not worth restoring at all but its bones are good enough that it’s possible.

Oh yeah big time lol. They only have 989 other options .

@Murraymountain I thought the pic with the red/black straps was the frame with a hole in it.

Oh no sorry lol. That’s the oil pan with the rust hole. The frame rail is the blueish part that runs along that top of the picture.

@Murraymountain Is that a set of freakin rocker arm's in the seat?

Yes . You should see the valve cover.

@Murraymountain
Wow she looks rough, but if your brother ever gets her running again, he will have a cool little car!
Also I have seen in a lot of your post's you towing with that H3, and was curious if it has the 5 cylinder?

I gave myself a lip piercing yesterday
I was helping my mom replace a 02 sensor on her truck and The cheater pipe i was using slipped off the wrench and hit me in the face and finger. My nail is perple. And the cut is clean through my lip and I can spit water out of it.

@MightyRaze here's where I posted it, didn't go into detail about it there though...

@ranch king pro 08 that's pretty rough but hey it adds character and every scar tells a story right! Glad it wasn't worse, that could've your eyeball...

@Brianator that's very true. I must say im not as sore as I thought I was going to be. Besides the fact that i look like Scooby-Doo because my lips so swollen it's healing nicely

Yeah he will. He’s gonna fully rebuild the whole thing.

Yeah it’s the 3.5 5 cyl. It tows mowers around just fine but cars is a bit much. The Gremlin was no issue. I estimate it weighed probably around 2300 lbs and the trailer at 5-700 lbs. So roughly 3000 lbs in total. It tows that amount without complain too much. I mean don’t expect to go anywhere fast, I did about 55 the whole time, but other than that it tows that amount fine. More than that though and I have to start really stepping on the brakes. It’s not easy to stop with the Malibu on the trailer and that only weighs 3k. So for mowers, it could tow all day everyday. Towing cars is a bit much but as long as I take it easy I think she’ll be fine.

One of the new Tacoma commercials.  Thought it was funny.



11 seconds in.

Thats pretty awesome.


In other news... picked up a new I mean toy.  ...or maybe a moneypit
Needs lots of odds and ends, there was no airbox so I got a cheap air filter, and a chunk of heater hose to run from the crank case. It needed a proper fuel shutoff and new line, along with some starter rope to get it running.

Still needs quite a bit, like brakes. Might be handy?
