Sending you a PM.

If you're interested in a fix that will NEVER let that happen again, do the following: Loosen the screws and get the sprocket aligned, and then tighten the set screws to mark the shaft enough to see the marks with the sprocket removed. Center punch the screw marks, and drill the shaft just...

You know my pain, then, LOL. I kinda gave up and just adapt as I go with new attachments. My last purchase was an IronCraft (formerly Titan Attachments) offset flail mower. A QH is useless with that because the pin pockets are too close to the housing for the hooks to go in. But I got a good...

The story was going good for me until I got to the part about contact with the first phase. It would be pretty rare for 12470V to be fed with anything but armored cable, especially if it's where it can be accessed with a sawzall. The steel spiral jacket is grounded. The conductors inside have...

Yeah, the Pat's Hitches offer the flexibility of leaving the top link out of the way until the driveshaft is connected. Not an option with the QH. I'm pretty tall (6'1") and have arms like an orangutan, but they're still not long enough to reach that PTO shaft. I have the fat tires on the LX...

I see what you did there.

My guess is one bolts on the bucket through a hole and the other just clamps on the edge. At least that's what it looks like to me.

I have a quick hitch, and I will say without reservation, I feel like it was a mistake. Not so much because I bought a cheap one, but more so because of how difficult it makes connecting a driveshaft on anything that requires one and the complete lack of compliance to standards to make "QH...

I was admiring the double-bit axe on the table. I got one when I was 14 years old. I broke the handle in my stepdad's axe (splitting red oak), so he made me go learn how to make axe handles, make two, and replace his handle and fit an old 4 pounder that was broken by a previous misuser. The...

Removed a cedar that was about 10 inches at the stump and graded the surface to connect my two chicken coops. I started off with 8 birds (two of which had gender identity crises) which was reduced to 6 in the coop on the right. Next thing I knew, I had 18 more in brooders in my basement that...

That's the normal kind of snow and weather we get in Alabama when we get any snow. Wet, heavy snow, sometimes alternateing between sleet, frozen rain, snow, and you can see the defined layers in it. Then we get a slight warming trend to get it really slushy, followed by some kind of ridiculous...

Yeah, she was, but still a lot easier on the eyes than David Cassidy was. Well, for me, anyway.

The only good news here is that looks like old used sheet metal. Having purchased some AG panels about that length, I can attest they are WAY too expensive to even think about letting them drag.

There would have been a few questions. 1.) Why do you have and how did you come into possession of the gift? 2.) Why/How did you come to the conclusion that this was the Partridge I really wanted? (Susan Dey would have probably been more appreciated, but perhaps not by the GF).

Oh snap! Do you raise (and de-scent) those, or is that an intruder?
