A wee bit. I am half-tempted to hang a come along from the rafters and see if I can lift the tractor by the breather 🤣

I feel like a moron that I have to ask this, but I cannot remove the breather/fill cap atop the hood. it just spins, it won’t slide up, it won’t push down (like a bayonet mount), I made a paracordnsling and tried pulling with two hands. . . What am I doing wrong? I really don’t want to have...

That is way more complex than I actually need - this isn’t going to a house or anything - it is just to have a convenient “garden hose” without having to put in all sorts of equipment, but I don’t want to have to clean crude foam “filters” every 3-4 days. . .

Crude drawing was more than sufficient to get the concept across! THANK YOU YET AGAIN 😁👍👍👍

This is exactly the type info I am looking for, and no pumps are needed, as the culvert is approximately 80’ up from where I am sending the water - gravity is a wonderful thing! basically I will be building a septic tank it looks like. . .

Something like that is my ultimate goal, but right now I just need an”Good Enuf” solution!

700’ of long thin pipe is exactly what I have! which is why I am here, seeking assistance from more knowledgeable and experienced people 😁👍

My concern is any particulate large enough to permanently obstruct a 5/8 ID tube about 700’ long. That would suck. the bucket primarily fills with fine silt, but the open-cell foam pieces keep it from filling the tube - the foam clogs up, I pull the pieces out, rinse them, rinse the bucket...

Pics posted 😁

ThNk you! that is why I want to try to use the natural drainage courses from the pond that already exist - no neighbor problems. The water is coming onto my property already, why cause problems? there is nowhere near enough flow for operating a ram pump, but where I want the water is lower...

A little late, but I TOOK PICTURES!

hmmm. . . A couple of IBC totes on blocks. . . Acting like a mini-millpond. . . That could be a doable option. Thanks for the idea! we just had a survey done last month, and the corner of the sortakinda rectangularish pond comes over our property line about 18 inches and we have about 4’ of...

This was sortakinda a trial run, and due to space considerations by the pipe the 2 gallon bucket fit better. I will post pictures later and it will make more sense. I want to keep bigger particles out because the ID is only 5/8 - if I had 4” pipe it wouldn’t really be an issue, but 600+ feet...

DISCLAIMER: YES - I WILL TAKE AND POST SOME PICS LATER TODAY - Our lot is in a little dead-end valley, and the part that will be farmable once I clear it out - it has not been tended in 50+ years, and there are a good number of substantial trees that need to come down first. Up on the...

And now a batch of eggs with little snausages:

That is the stuff used during Obama’s “Cash For Clunkers” to permanently ruin perfectly good engines. in this usage, it refers to either pickling like (hydrated lime) or, less often, isinglass (fish bladder extract).

Our slow foray into growing things for ourselves meant we actually had enough knowledge to truly appreciate the show. The only real problem is my wife (who found the show) really has a problem with British accents, where I was weaned on PBS watching things like “Mystery!” And “Dr. Who” and...

I picked up several packages of “no-name” little weenies and two Hillshire Farms smoked sausage to try your recipe. I did the eggs last week, one more week before I crack them open!

And yet we still are unable to see the Epstein Client List. . .

Yesterday morning:

Maple Trees are turning already!

ALRIGHTY THEN - WHO IS READY FOR THE NEXT QUESTION? The Next Question is: can you re-use the pickling lime/water solution for another batch of eggs?

I figure I can also use the scaffold to hang/age/skin/butcher deer during hunting season, too. 😎

Well, maybe not THAT elaborate, but basically. . . Yeah.

If I thought my wife would let me get away with it, I would go down to the river by the recycle center, cut down a gross or three of bamboo, and lash it together into a work structure like they do in Asia… 😂🤣

Since we do not intend to (voluntarily) move ever again, and I am hoping to last at least two more decades, I will be looking at at least 5 more staining projects on the house, so owning DEFINITELY becomes more economical. And that does not include all the other projects it can be used for.

UPDATE: Some a tangential Info: i pickled and canned the last batch that peeled successfully, and still had some brine leftover in the pot, and being lazy, I hadn’t disposed of it yet. this morning, I made some scratch corned beef hash, and decided to have poached eggs instead of fried. And...

Did it, peeled one egg and it came out perfect. Rolling boil, teaspoon of Baking soda, dropped in eggs (gently), boiled for ten minutes, let sit for ten minutes, into ice water bath for 20 minutes. THANK YOU,

We are not storing store bought eggs - we have a small flock of Golden Comets and they are great producers!

I will try that either later or tomorrow - I had always added acid (vinegar) to counteract the natural alkalinity of the eggshell (calcium carbonate). I will attempt a small batch or maybe 6. thank you!

That is what hatchets and pruners are for 😁

‘S’ok - I screw up regularly 🤣😂🤣👍

But I don’t have a bucket… I have to do everything off the three-point.

That should pair well with the chorizo…

So, I tried water-glassing eggs for the first time, and decided to hard-boil a batch to pickle. turns out that 10 weeks in line water is not NEARLY enough time - the water-glassing really does stop the aging process. I boiled up 20, I could only pickle 15 because they peeled so ugly that five...

Oh, I think about a ripper, a bucket, a woodchipper, a belt adapter, a thresher, a sickle-bar mower—— I think about a lot of things! I also think about how much they will all cost…🤣😂

What I have is just a simple frame with “C”-shaped tines. I do not intend to have them go into the soil more than 1-2 inches TOPS - I really want to use it like a big rake to make the area walkable. what I REALLY need is a 48” - 60” brushhog/rough mower but until I find one cheap I have to...

We have had decent rainfall, no drought in our neck of the woods. probably because I have been restaining our porches, and I washed and waxed the vehicles for the first time in a year…

Are you north or south of The Bridge? We were 14B before escaping to America

A couple weeks ago, a black walnut in town started dropping some fully-matured walnuts. two weeks ago, the orb weavers started up. last week on YouTube, someone about 40 miles away posted that their “persimmon seed reading” says early and frigid winter. today, while out walking about, I have...

(Throws gas on fire)

Thank you - this is the type of info I need!

I figure with the three footers I can get that extra bit of height without standing on a couple of stacked mil crates on top of three 5’sections. . . I mean, the whole purpose of this exercise is to work safely, isn’t it?

Yeah - that is what I was looking at, but adding in the two 3-ft extensions for the very to for the highest part of the house.

What I am looking at getting, now that I have more info, and this will be x2 so I can set up two towers to straddle our 8x6 entryway vestibule on the other end of the house with a stage between them: three 5’ walk-through section one 3’ section top guardrails standoff arms to attach to the...

Thank you!

I have no idea how strong they are, having just gotten the cultivator a couple weeks ago. the tines look like 1/4” thick by about 1-1/4 wide. I can get a better measurement when I get back to the lot either tomorrow or Monday…

My Case does have a limiter so I can set it to stay closer to the surface, maybe just 2”-3” depth. I really just want to drag all the “OUCH THAT HURT!!” stuff out of the way…

So, here is my WDH story: I owned a 1993 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Station Wagon, complete with de riguer fake wood-trim on the sides. It had the self-leveling air shock system, which was really cool. Until it broke while trailering my new-to-me boat and all the camping gear the car could hold...

. . . To clear some undergrowth? I do not yet have a brush-hog or mower attachment, but I would like to clear out some vines/ferns/stuff in a section that I need to take some trees down and eventually plant stuff on. I do have a small cultivator (currently set up with two tines, but I can...

This is the kind of info I like - thank you for doing the timing!!! 😁👍

Good Morning! Thank you for another day that God lets us see leaves and not roots. I started my day at zero-dark-something with an ear-worm, when the urge to head to the necessary woke me up, and I was resisting the urge. . . Our ceiling fan has a slight harmonic in it, and it gives a gentle...

Not a great way to start the day…

I haven’t heard that in AGES —— THANK YOU!!!!!

I like those folding outriggers - something else to look for! 😁👍

Work smarter not harder - I like that!

YAY! MILL ARRIVED! YAY!!! THE RAIN HAS HELD OFF!! so you just KNOW there was some other issue… Woodmizer Mills come on their own custom pallets. For this particular mill (LX55) the pallet is 23”x65”. Designed to load on a hi-lo crossways. When it got transferred at the terminal, it was...

“Bad luck”, as a wise man once said…

Special Order is always different. The say I ordered mine, I was warned that all orders were subject to “supply chain issues” beyond the mfr. control. I am old enough to remember when we didn’t have “supply chain issues”. . .

I was actually considering Trex - I will look into Hardie and compare/contrast. THANK YOU,

Oh yeah - and I have to also replace fascia boards that the carpenter bees have been chowing down on for the last several years…

That looks like a great setup! Thank you for the info!

Thank you! Mini splits have gotten so good I am surprised they haven’t displaced more HVAC systems yet.

That sucks. But at least there are no more mean tweets…

WoodMizer is ON THE TRUCK! Delivery Wednesday! Of course, the weather forecast is for torrential downpours that day…

I already have intentions of relocating them - I just don’t want th to die any time soon what with other projects that need to get done. luckily we rarely use the HVAC, as we moved to the mountains from inner city decay —— we LOVE having open windows! And we heat primarily with wood. Our peak...

The deck is wide enough for scaffolding, but I will also look into maybe a section of pass-through because you never know when something like that may come in handy…

It was built in 1999, we bought it in 2014. I don’t think it was an actual kit, because it Was built by a GC who was building some of the other houses in the subdivision and he lived in it for a year and a day so it wouldn’t be a “spec” house. . . But some of the things seem to be where,odds and...

If you were closer I’d be asking for a favor LOL!

I don’t know if our little Appalachia town has anything like that to rent! But I will look around. Thanks!

I like the idea of using the ladder to climb the scaffold - THANKS,!!!

There is no practical way to drive a boom to that side of the house. Between trees, steps, sewerlines, trees, grade angle, septic, trees, and trees, it won’t work. not to mention that surrounding on three sides of the house the ground is gravelled - and my wife is the one who carried the...

MANLIFT IS NOT A VIABLE OPTION:

That is a good idea - I am on reasonable good terms with our local tool rental guy…

May I ask what brand/ model you bought? and this would be perfect for fixing the ceiling fan with our vaulted ceiling 16” up!

Not really. I mean, they would probably work For the house, but then I would still need something for when I build my sawmill shed (post&beam), lumber shed (ditto) and other projects. The ladder jacks are kinda “unitasker” whereas I could even set up a Scaffold on either side of the truck and...

Oh - okay. I thought you were doing the whole house every year!! 🤣👍

Wow - every year? we are on year five with Cabot semitransparent oil-based stain, and I am planning ahead for next year to do this! but what you said is why I want to own - no clock ticking. Work when you can, as much as you can.

I wish I could - terrain, soil and decks won’t permit it.

when I use the extension ladder, I like to rest it on 4x8x16 concrete blocks - I hear ya on stability!

Storage is not really an issue for us, and knowing I will have future need for it makes owning more attractive..

Terrain issues on two sides, decks on the other two. I would love to be able to do it that way! But it ain’t gonna work…

Good Morning! I will have to do some major home improvement projects, most notably re-staining/sealing our log home, and I don’t want to do it on a ladder. A scaffold (or two) would make for a much easier and safer job. I have never used scaffolding before. -EDIT/UPDATE: Terrain and deck...

Will do and will report back when I do - THANK YOU!

2134 ft. According to GoogleEarth. Not ridiculously high.

I love flan, but I wanted to try a stovetop custard. Right now, I a, glassing more eggs for storage, but I will try again in a couple weeks when it gets cooler.

UPDATE: Got a call from WoodMizer - Mill is ready and shipping next week! YAY!!!!

The process I describe is for removing the shells after then have been boiled and cooled - I should have made that clearer (editing now)

I always added around a half-cup and some salt, too. I fill the pot halfway with cold water,put the eggs in the pot, and bring to a boil. When it gets to a full boil, it gets turned off, and fifteen minutes later the eggs go into ice water until dead cold. unless the eggs are too fresh, they...

Thank you for being interested in my troubles! 👍

A couple screengrabs from the video (MrsKilroyJC insists on portrait not landscape…)

Pix uploaded 😎

Let me try uploading some video.. it may or may not happen with the crappy DSL out here west of Hooterville… UPDATE: I guess I have to join Vimeo or something and then post a URL of the video… that will have to wait until later when my device is fully charged 🫤

Here it is with two universal replacement arms. The original shafts are 3/4, the balls are 7/8, so I made bushings out of 3/4 copper pipe which fit snuggly in the ball and reasonably snuggly over the shaft.

Ok, gonna catch up, with PHOTOS! First two photos are the two arms on one pin for alignment, and the folding ruler is set at 90 degrees. one arm has a piece of electrical tape for differentiation for the left-right placement. You can see why swapping the arms didn’t work, since they were...

Definitely take advantage of excavator-work-for-fuel!!, throw in a smoked pork but and/or some adult beverages (if applicable) on top!

Every day should be a learning experience 😂🤣

I also posted this on another blog I follow (InstaPundit ) and I got the detailed explanation: ” George Turner an hour ago A custard needs to low boil at least three minutes or the alpha-amylase will turn the starch you added back into sugar, resulting in sweet eggnog. This happens over time...

I will likely have to set it up in a temporary spot, so I can mill the lumber to make the shed it will reside in, and the move it. gonna be a busy little beaver when it shows up! I will be calling them back again this week for an update, and to change the delivery from the Woodmizer dealership...

Since we got chickens back in May, we have plenty of eggs. The cost per egg based on expenses is finally below $5/egg. I decided to make some egg custard, and went with a very basic recipe of 1 gallon milk, one dozen eggs, two cups of sugar, and some vanilla extract. Cooked it up as per...

Have fun and SPREAD IT FAR AND WIDE!

For what I spend on the quick-hitch I might as well replace the arms and be done with it. $52 per arm plus shipping is worth it.

And with the state of the world and the current pResident, every day longer it takes just adds to the ulcers and hair loss. . .

I called Woodmizer for an update, and if - IF - they get the engines in from Kohler this week, we may -MAY- get our mill delivered in August instead of October! YAY!!!

I keep forgetting to bring my iPad to the shed… sorry. Hopefully this week I can get some pix

No, I didn’t take any pictures… updates: I decided to unbolt one of the shaft stanchions and got the arm off. I swapped them, and the spread was even worse! with the stanchion off, it was much easier to press out the shaft. I took the arms to a machinist and asked about using a press to...

Is there any way to check that without having to open up the trans?

The prime reason I am interested in this unit is because it is 30 feet over the property line. . . Sooooo close. . . . now, by “shaft is out!” Do you mean worn out? Or straight-up busted? thanks for any info - I still have not had a chance to get hold of the next-door neighbor…

Good Morning! it never dropped below 71F and is supposed to be heading into the 90s, which wouldn’t be bad except for the humidididtty the good lord has again given us another chance to get it right — still looking at leaves not roots. yesterday’s menu was Barbecued Bloomin’ Baologna Burnt...

Hahah the rear springs were shot and a golf ball would have hit the oil pan 😂🤣 After that incident, I replaced the rear spring with front springs from a Ford E350 van - I snapped off the tops of three shock absorbers before they finally settled in! but I never bottomed out again no matter how...

Ok, I guess I have to bring my iPad with me to the shed. . .

I just realized I will also have to swap the latching hardware from side-to-side as well. . . It won’t work if it is pressed up against the implement frame!

Cross-referencing is really key with many old items. I dabble in old Coleman lanterns, and there is a wealth of info on the,. Some of the other makes, not so much. . .

Update: yesterday I put a two-jaw puller on the pin and cranked down. no effect cranked it a little harder an hit the two bases with ye olde ball pein. no effect. cranked it again a little more, sprayed more PB blaster, and am letting it sit under pressure for a bit. Then I will try heating...

Thank yo—— Bookmarked that one 👍

Thank you!!!! That is what I need —- I downloaded an owner’s manual, but it just says to use “Genuine Case Parts” because that is how those old manuals were…

All donations gratefully accepted! And if it doesn’t specifically help me, it may help someone else! 😎👍

Thank you! Now I have to figure out which of the two it is. . . Looks like I will have to get a bit messy this weekend…

I am hoping that things hold together long enough for me to finally get the Woodmizer I ordered. It is scheduled for delivery in the first week of October. . .

I would like to change the hydraulic filter on a 1962 Case 430 with the 188ci Diesel, manual clutch/transmission, manual steering, single control for attachment up/down, I can only read the first two numbers on the Wix filter “31?” The rest are obliterated. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update: Saturday, I dropped one arm. Pulled the lift arm pin, drove our the roll pin, and relatively easily drove out the main pin without any trouble. Started on the other side… Pulled the lift arm pin, drove out the roll pin, and the other pin WON’T BUDGE. yesterday, I beat on it more...

1962 Case 430 The lift arms are somewhat splayed, and so the ends are just a wee bit wide for hooking up without having to pull them together with a ratchet tie-down and some “easing” with a ball-pein to hook up attachments, which pretty much defeats the whole idea of the Eagle Claw “QUICK”...

Proud member of the “Waiting and Waiting List”

well, if the bent them out deliberately, they bent them out just a wee bit too far! seriously, while I haven’t put a yardstick, straightedge, and t-square on it yet, the port-side arm is definitely skewed left, and the star aid side looks like it is too, just not as much. My guess is someone...

Thank you for the complete explanation as well as the logo trivia - i love info like that!

I topped off the coolant today and let it run for about a half hour. Tomorrow I will check it dead cold and see what the level is. good idea on a fresh oil change to get a “zero” and start fresh. Probably do the same with the hydro oil and filter, too. I just love how easy this tractor starts...

Pretty Country 😁👍 We are about an hour west of Asheville

You must be north of Blacksburg? Radar has it raining south of there. Our rain just finished up - came down pretty good from about 4AM until just now. Happy Easter!

Good Morning and a Happy Holy Saturday. Today is for grief and doubt. Tomorrow is for Joy and renewal of faith. In other news, 51F and the rain is ending, so the dogs can go out without coming back in all messy.

So, what about it? (See thread title)

Appalachia is awesome! Jersey City, well, it has a richly-deserved reputation . . . Let’s leave it at that. . .

Just looking to save a buck, just like everybody else. Not that I am working Hoboken-sized fields, more like between a basketball court and a football field with a 1960’s Case 40HP. interested in your thoughts & observations. Thank you!

If they made SERIOUSLY WELL-CONSTRUCTED Acme-Screw tall jacks like the 60’s vintage bumper jacks I have but won’t use for more than 500lb loads, I’d get them instead...

That has happened more than once, and is always embarrassing for the prognosticators and their adherents.

So does a piece of diamondplate. But on a slope, that floor Jack can get entertaining, too

I will look into the MP, too

I much prefer a good floor Jack, but they don’t perform all that well on anything other than concrete, or cold asphalt.

It seems to be the way of the world today—- I am just trying to fit in. . .

The “Urban Lullaby”. . .

my first car was a ‘75 Chevy Impala, with that stamped-steel ratchet bar bumper Jack that had the little tab of metal that hooked into the little slot in the chrome bumper. . . to lift almost 3 tons of Steel Pig. I had a floor Jack in that trunk in under a week, along with a pair of 3-ton Jack...

I have multiple pairs of Jack stands and use them religiously. the quad looked kinda weird on the 12-ton stands when I did brakes last year, but it was SAFE!

Inevitably I will need a serious Jack or two, so I might as well get them BEFORE I really need them. just looking to start arguments about whether to stick with the handier 48” size, get the extended capability of the 60” size, or maybe just get one of each. Then there is the question of which...

Could be... ya never know. . .

And CV transmissions that keep the engine operating in the most efficient power band. Just don’t tow with them. . .

A really interesting mod to the 727 TorqueFlite was to saw off the bell housing, replace the front pump with an adapter plate that allowed a clutch&flywheel to bolt up in place of the torque converter. Clutch-Flites. Good 1/4 mile setup.

last week I exhumed the plow. The discs turned freely! But the tail wheel was locked solid. the portside lift arm is slightly splayed outboard, so hitching is fun, as is keeping it hitched, so I will have to swap them , and then it will be splayed inboard. It should still be fun hitching...

Did you tell her to check the 710? Or just to check to oil? 🤣😂🤣

My Jeep is not keen on downshifting to first. I understand.

LX55 with the small gas motor. I also got an extra bed extension, loading ramps, leveling feet, support arm, and a fifteen blade package. there are several large millers in the area, I am not going to be in competition with them, so Going one step up from the base model will likely suit me...

I learned to drive stick on a rental Suzuki Samurai on a booze-blurred vacation in Aruba in 1989 😂🤔🤣😎

Thank you - I have bookmarked that, and when I get the chance I will try to work on it and post the results!

Dragged it out of the hillside today - the discs run with two fingers! the tail wheel is locked solid, which is not surprising since it was buried... I will be getting out the PB Blaster and the 4-oz ball peen and do the spray-tap-tap-tap-spray-tap-tap-tap routine and see what happens...

Awesome —- THANK YOU!!!!!

i dragged it out! I took several tries backing up and lining up, but I had NEVER DRIVEN A TRACTOR BEFORE, so, all part of the learning experience. I forgot I had to replace the retaining pin in the Eagle latch, so when I pulled the rope, parts went flying. . . all part of the learning...

Hopefully that will be it! and then i will plant some stuff, and . . . 🥶

Good Morning! starting out at 49F, I just put the buckets with the elderberry bushes outside - we didn’t drop as low as forecasted (which is fine) but I KNOW there is one more plant zapper of a frost coming. . . Because it always does. . .

Definitely inefficient. but if supply chain issues “improve” (the chocolate ration will be increased from thirty grams to twenty grams), increases in inefficiency become more acceptable. . .

Thank you! and the 430 has some good looks, too!

All I have read about 310’s says they are gas. Until I officially meet the neighbor, I ain’t gonna trespass to take a closer look... this one looks like it has the inboard 4-way blade.

I will have to photo/video the exhumation of the plow and upload it for you!
