I'm picking up a Diamond C next week, they're a little spendy but built for commercial service.

I burnt my neighbors woods last spring, you can bet your azz I fell all over myself apologizing for it after the rural fire trucks finally left that night. I felt like a complete jackwagon. I've got a 100 gallon water tank and pump, a 4 gallon backpack and a 2 gallon handheld sprayers this year.

I've built a few, I'll see if I can find my notes. You'll need to scrounge up a bucket full of oil filled run capacitors, 330v or higher, a couple of start capacitors, a timer and a 3 pole contactor. Feebay is a good place to find used (cheap) stuff like that. logixjock at 12345 dot com

I certainly did.

I finally got a chance to put the bucket on and test it and it will no longer pick the front wheels up off of the ground. Definitely something has gotten weak. I couldn't find my box of gauges and fittings yet, but since it is weak in both directions, I'm thinking a piston seal is gone. I'm...

It doesn't seem to leak down any faster than it ever did. Somewhere I have a box of fittings and a gauge, I'm going to try to get some pressure readings after the loader valve later this evening

I have a New Holland TC29 with a 7308 FEL rated to pickup 875 pounds with the loader arms and 1602 pounds with the curl. Today I unloaded a pallet that weighed 837 pounds and the main loader cylinders just handled it OK, but I noticed that the curl cylinders couldn't budge it at all. The curl...

Oh no! He smokes the devil's lettuce! You oldheads are a weird bunch.

Yeah, I'm just seeing a blue box with the imgbb logo

The plant manager was named Don Dees, and he was 100% American.

The id10t that ran the Freemont factory ended up as CEO of the company I worked for (tier 1 supplier) and brought in a bunch of his old GM cronies to help him. We went from thriving supplier with facilities in 8 states to bankrupt and the pieces sold off to 2 Canadian firms in 2.5 years...

I keep seeing people talk about the strike against the "big 3" I wasn't aware that Toyota, Tesla and VW had anything to do with the UAW.
