If our friend B737 keeps up the nasty, sarcastic ‘tude, he’ll be joining the unforgettable Sidecar Flip in the land of “sure glad his a** is out of here!”

If you have it in your hand - diesel, gasoline, food, ammunition, any resource - you have it. If it is in a bank, store, fund, file or under the control of someone else, so are you. Also, if you have two you have one. If you have one you have none.

I was able to lay hands on three 55-gallon steel bung drums used for food grade contents. After securing them upside down on the FEL, I blasted them out with the power washer and let them drain completely. With appropriate color paint and some stickers stating the contents, they were each...

The front axle inboard of the right front wheel. It’s a black rubber cap with the fill levels on a tiny dip stick. You gotta kinda twist, squeeze and pull to work it out. Youre going to love that stump bucket, good for so much. I make electric and water line trenches with mine. Remember your...

Hi! My K Connect slipped on like a glove, just be aware that the long heavy rods which secure it go into a specific side of the frame; otherwise you can’t get the R spring cotter pins inserted to secure the rods in place. No special adapters needed for the PTO center drive connection. I...

I’m finally giving up juggling 5gal jugs and building a fuel storage and pump station. I’ll have both diesel and gasoline. I’m pretty much satisfied I have the 55gal steel barrels cleaned, any loose rust and debris removed and the pump, plumbing and filters properly installed. It’s the...

Hardly the same thing, Stepp....

My 2019 B2601 has developed a slow, seeping hydraulic leek somewhere on the connector plate of the QuickTach FEL. These are four smooth-face connectors, collected on a single assembly and pressed together by an over center cam handle. I’ve tightened all the connecting nuts I could, and a couple...

Starting my third year with Bessie, my 2019 B2601. So far all is well, learned any number of little idiosyncrasies, got all kinds of useful after market implements, haven’t bent, broke or exploded anything. Overall, I’m still in love. But that seat! I’m a big guy and those little wimpy springs...

To all the snarky snarks and sarcasmics getting into pizzin contests over grass, a simple, two word reminder: Sidecar Flip.
