Boy talk about making a post and ignoring it. I am planning on putting a couple 2x2 cleats to hold the tank in the center and adding some eye hooks to wratchet strap it down when transporting for fuel. When it is on the barn floor, straps would be off. Still working my 30 gal Arksen tank to...

I stayed with my tool of choice and got a Ryobi grease gun. I put the Locn N lube end on it and it works great for getting not only my FEL but all the MMM zerks. I also have five manual grease guns.

I did a treatment of permethrin last weekend and the pups haven’t brought in a tick since. They were coming in with 2-3 to very time they went out in the yard. Not sure how quickly it kills them but they were knocked down pretty good. Will do another treatment around Memorial Day. I do the...

Multitasking today. Took the opportunity to throw on some ribs. Not pretty but they sure are tender and juicy. Beans were doctored up with some of my bacon offcuts

My turn. Finished the driveway, out by the road and the trails. Can’t get in to the woods due to blow downs. That is for another weekend

Boss is mowing and I’m on tick duty

Looking for a seat belt latch that will fit my B1700. Kubota gives it part # 6c040-72252. Thanks

They are just about 3/8 from the wall on all sides. Half inch quarter round will cover the gap. Carpet was just after we emptied the room and the pups were overjoyed.

I had my saw station in the small garage. Chop saw and jig saw. Not a lot of waste but I hear you on the up/down. This click lock stuff is not my favorite. Hard cutting and a lot of dust. I’d rather do tongue and groove and nail/staple it in. That being said, wood was almost 3x the cost and the...

Boss wanted new flooring in the MBR so on the nicest weekend of the year, here I am. Currently 2 rows to go and slowed way down to remove trim and quadruple measure. My Apple Watch wanted to call for EMS three times yesterday. Tell you what, I’m using muscles I have not used in years. Last...

My belly mower is nearing its end of life. I’m interested to hear who is pulling a 3pt finish mower with a B1700 sized machine and what brand/ width you using.

Time to get the Kubota airboat out and mow the swamp. Good timing as the sky’s just opened up again. Got my first mowing stick in too. Resident snapper out for a stroll

Growing up that was my snack more often than not. Sometimes it was graham crackers with butter. My goal was to press the crackers hard enough to make the butter squirt out of the holes and not crush the saltine

Wanted something more compact for my fuel transfer tank so I came up with this. I still have to install some cleats and eye bolts to trap the tank and keep it from sliding. Need to use up a good portion of the 50 gal in there before I can drag it over. Buying culled pressure treated means the...

Local franchise. They really push to get you on a service contract. I tried calling corporate a couple years back and they would not help. Pushed me to their dealer network. I’m still have their water softener so if it ever needs parts, I may have to see if they are priced differently by the...
