    Bud's gun shop experience

    Good day all, First post in a while. Good to be back and take a look around. With deer season approaching, I thought it was time to replace my .270 semi with a 30-06 bolt action. I found a sweet deal on a Browning A-Bolt with the BOSS system and a Leupold VX-3 scope mounted for $750 bucks...

    Considering Z915B

    Hey all. Anyone with experience owning/operating a Deere Z915B? I'm looking at upgrading from my old Husqvarna YTH2454. I'd like to hear some good/bad/ugly stories. I'm not necessarily brand loyal, so I'm open to looking at comparable machines from other brands, but I have a pretty good...

    First deer harvest of the season.

    Here is a couple pictures of a doe I took last night with my muzzleloader. Shot her at 80 yards across a hay field. Took her through both lungs and took the top off her heart. She didn't get very far. She was standing at treeline, and I found her laying 20 yds. into the woods. Didn't get a...

    Getting ready for deer season.

    Been out in the woods setting up my tree stand for the past couple of days and cutting shooting lanes for the bow. Ran into an issue with my new 2 man stand. It had tree teeth behind the seat, but none on the platform, resulting in a wobbly mess even when tightened as far as possible. My...

    Sawyer's Inheritance

    Since winter has drawn on way too long, and there's still little to do outside, I took to the task of creating a nickname for my dearest love. In honor of my son, I cannot wait until the day that he's old enough to understand this. It's no joke, as this, besides any of my knowledge and...

    Stihl 041AV restoration (pic heavy!!!)

    About 3 1/2 years ago, my brother picked this 041AV electronic up for me at a yard sale for $75. It was in terrible shape, with cracks in everything except the engine case halves. I didn't take any pics of it upon teardown, so I apologize for nothing noting its condition to begin with. It's...

    Deere Manuals

    Hi all, I'm looking at buying the Deere technical and parts manuals for my 5045D. Anyone have any experience with John Deere's publications, i.e. attention to detail, clarity, troubleshooting walk-throughs, etc.? I would assume they're the same manuals the shop mechanics work from, but I...

    LED Flashers

    A little safety upgrade this weekend...A couple 6 1/2" amber LED flashers on the sides of the ROPS. I know, I know, you're not supposed to modify the ROPS, but I did...it's not the first time, probably won't be the last, but I digress. I picked these up at the local heavy truck parts/repair...

    Tool rack ideas

    OK fellas, here's the deal...shovels, rakes, axes, and other tools are a pain in the ***** to carry around in the bucket when it's full of other stuff. I've got a few ideas kicking around for attaching a tool rack, but figured I'd implore the ever-inventive minds here on TBN to see what you...

    View from my office today...

    The weather's warming up here in the Adirondacks. The songbirds are singing, the land is greening up and this is the view I get the privilege seeing everyday. I'm a lucky man to have a loving family and this fine piece of dirt to call my own and pass down the generations...Life is good...

    Chrome stack

    My new 5045D was born with a stack that's unfortunately about 6" too tall for my garage, and unfortunately, I needed to hack off the bend on the end of the pipe. I now have a short, straight cut pipe on the tractor, and I'm looking for opinions on how to proceed...Should I leave the pipe as is...
