Yes! My brother and used to do this on cross country trips back in the 60s. We also used to ride on the tailgate on short drives to the dump. We're both still here.

Really sorry to hear this NIW. It won't make it any easier, but I (and a whole lot of others here I guess) know the feeling.

Love seeing your dogs. We lost our Lacey this past June, six weeks before her 14th birthday. Hurt like heck. They're family. Not sure we'll ever get another dog.

I don't care who you are. That's funny.

I have this EA six-way blade on my little BX and it works fine offset, uphill and through snow (with chains) as much as 12 inches deep. I'll normally offset and angle the blade enough to roll snow off into the ditches bordering the driveway until I get to our flat landing pad next to the garage...

I just recently picked up that 48" Agrifab core aerator shown above. At $229 from Lowes and given an estimated use of once or twice a year on 4-5 acres of lawn, I figured that it was worth the small investment. It takes a couple of hours to assemble and is built fairly sturdy. The knives are...

I picked the set up from him for $250, including a set of clamp on forks. They're on my BX now, and the R4s are in the shed awaiting heavy duty. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Reporting back to confirm that the front lug bolts are 9/16 - 18 TPI. Thread restorer worked great. Thanks all. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk

Thank you. Thread restorers may be the way to go.

Thank you, NIW. So 9/16 UNF (18 tpi)?

I have damaged (or debris-filled) threads on one position of my front hub after the old lug bolt seized. I'd like to run a tap through to see if I can't restore the threads. Does anybody know what tap size I should use? Measurements indicate it's an M14x1.5 but I'd like to confirm before...

Vidiot, I'm in your neck of the woods - a couple of miles south of Hamilton, off Loudoun Orchard. When getting some replacement R4 wheels on my BX25, I did as 200mph talked to, headed to Sales rather than Parts (at Browning) and got the whole goods pricing. So that's the place I'd start when...

I learned to fly more than 30 years ago. One day, an old tail-dragger Piper Cub was in line for take off just in front of me. I was a young pilot and was floored to see it lift off the ground in about 50 feet. It was the first time I'd seen such a thing. As I recall, the wind that day wasn't a...

How about a "real" fuel filter and housing for the BX25/26?

Thought I'd post a couple of pictures from our visit to Nashville. This picture, taken by my sister-in-law, is of me and my daughter watching it all happen right before our eyes. And, this next one is of the "diamond ring" effect. Note the solar flare at three o'clock.
