    Early first service B2601

    Look at Tractor Supply for a very close match to Kubota. So close, nobody can tell the difference. I used some and I can't.

    Daily Chuckle

    I'll bet the neighbors got a charge out of that outfit.

    Adding a Hydraulic Thumb to an L45 (no factory rear aux hydraulics)

    I can't answer your question, but I have a back hoe and thumb on my B2601 and notice the hydraulic circuit that raises and lowers the three point implements is unused. Too bad there aren't any external ports we could use for a hydraulic thumb and control the thumb with the lever for raising and...

    Sam's Club

    You folks need to do what I did. It's 22 miles to my Sam's Club so I enlisted in their Plus membership for $100 (your normal membership is $45 so it's an additional $55). That seems high until you do the math. There is free shipping on all your orders. BUT, there are some items they wont ship so...

    Teaching Profession

    Bingo! Start reading here: http://deliberatedumbingdown.com/ddd/ Look at the crime report in the newspaper (if you get one daily.) 90 percent of the perps got in trouble due to drug and/or alcohol abuse. We have gone through three generations of(un)controlled substance abuse and a fair...

    harbor Freight Tools & Northern Tool

    I have a HF Electric Chain saw sharpener that I broke the abrasive disc on. Could not get a replacement part through HF. I looked at Northern and found the exact part I needed for $7.

    Just gota vent

    I have a dinky little house and a workshop about the same size. My electric rate went from 13 cents to 16 cents/KWH in a little over a year. My max bills are about $150 in winter and sometimes under a hundred a month in summer. What gets me is every week you see notices in the classifieds where...

    Anyone getting the fever yet?

    6 O'clock last evening I saw 8 deer walk/trotting up the road in front of my house. Apple orchard was picked and full crates were on the ground.I have a night time security cam video of a 500 pound black bear that came up on my back porch to empty the hummingbird feeder, plus there is one around...

    What do you hate ?

    I hate school taxes and county property taxes. Not based on your income, but the size/location of the house you live in. Example; 900 sq ft raised ranch, two car garage 900 sq ft work shop. $228 a month, before any other bills, on Social Security.

    Have you ever

    After my home was broken into and various valuables stolen, I would go to get a tool and not find it. SOB got it I guess, so I go and buy a new one. A few months later, I find the original, so now I have two. I worked on small planes and started thinking about retiring when I would be working...

    Cider Yesterday

    I live across from an orchard. I got a fresh gallon this morning for $6.00. Great stuff. They say they don't have a very big crop this year as the trees over produced last year and are taking a rest. I have to get some macs for applesauce. Fill up the freezer and have it all year long.

    What will happen if guns get banned?

    Isn't this the guy from the first post? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_I07dn5anM8 Think how dangerous he would be with a real gun in his hands.

    What a ride

    I watched the Blue Angles in 1972 at a local airshow when they were flying F-4 Phantoms. Four took off in formation and just after breaking ground the slot guy rolls inverted and climbs out with the gear and flaps still down (now pointing up.) I still can't believe they could pull that off. One...

    Airplane tires

    $1795 new for 31" tundra/bush tires. They take on punishing terrain and don't let the punishment go to the landing gear or airframe like lesser (standard) tires would. https://www.airframesalaska.com/31-Alaskan-Bushwheel-p/31136.r.htm

    Airplane tires

    You are looking at a small airliner or bizjet tire. Rated 225mph! I'll bet one of those at retail is over $1000 in the aviation world.
