Thomas, I use a 5' cheater bar on a 3/4" breaker bar to get my bush hog's blade bolts loose.

Cheater bars also stranded tool in tool box.
Not enough room use cheater bar this time.

Just got my notice, my new cane is at the PO waiting to get picked up. Junior will do it tomorrow while I go to the dump.

does it have any special features? A hidden knife? A moose whistle?...
canes can be very cool

I did get a chance to visit my granddaughter Friday...here she is eating carrots.

And Della found a muddy creek to run in...View attachment 919366View attachment 919367

It seems odd to be talking about winter oil in August, but I have to stay ahead of winter.

about 2 1/2 months our lawn should turn white if not little sooner...it's a coming.

Morning to all;
Abit of a different post today, I have a search on craigs list (that I should cancel) that had a sharp looking older tractor pop up on today. With the prices of new tractors in the stratosphere these days I found this to be a good looking tractor for an almost reasonable price and thought I would post it in case any one is thinking of something different then the current flock of imports.

I know nothing about this tractor, but to me she is a sharp looking unit and if I had room for another tractor it certainly is one I would consider.

All take care
Lou

45-50 year sure mighty find shape.
Would make great tractor for hobby farm with 69HP.

won't be tonight due to front coming through but tomorrow night we should be seeing some
amazing moon pics. Get ready Ron.
the blue moon is coming.
once in a blue moon...never knew what that meant, only that I guess the moon turning blue was pretty rare, tongue in cheek.
but no, there is some science here:

on average, we have one full moon, per month, but because most of our months are slightly longer than a lunar cycle, that means if we end up with a moon right at the beginning of a month, we might have another full moon again at the very end of the month. So sometimes that’s called a blue moon.”
A seasonal blue moon is often defined as the third full moon of an astronomical season with four full moons.

not sure why that color was chosen, it's always looked a little yellow
I figured that was probably because of the cheddar cheese up there...

I wonder what Phil is working on.
Maybe he could turn a moon...not just any old ball
or the planets from the Sun to Pluto.
Would be fun to motorize that so they all spin around
at the right time but just in a line on tiny poles would be great.
Phil's Planets
find them only at Nordstrom's and LL Bean.

Or a good snow blower, snow plow with the cab and lights. Good chains on those 18.4-30's and she would get around good in the winter. This is a similar tractor it's a 574 pushing a 9 ft backblade.
