I have abused this tractor for 15 years. I use the loader to Max capacity often hauling my wood racks and spreading a lot of rock. Surprised something hasn't broke before now. Anyone else ever see a broken spindle?

I purchased this truck as a father son project truck to hopefully spend some quality barn time with my son. It is a 2006 F150 FX4 Lariat. Before some jump to the conclusion that I'm spoiling my son a little bit, well I may be but I feel he is deserving after what he has been through the last 3...

Please don't drink and drive. It affects a lot of people for the rest of their lives. I am thankful for living in such a great community that has provided unbelievable support to all our families. You can click around on the two news sites and see the support were have gotten. My son ended...

Finally got around to drilling my intercooler. It is recommended on an f150 forum and I am glad I did. I did it directly after a 6 hour trip in continuous rain so this is showing the worse case scenario. I am happy to see that after more than 42,000 miles, there is very little oil in the water...

With the 6.2 liter shelved in the standard version, it will be interesting to see what engine they choose. Best guess would be the 3.5 ecoboost but the similar performing 2.7 liter might be an option depending on the size of the vehicle. I never understood why the previous version raptor was...

Here is a good video that shows the new Chevy 6.2 liter compared to older truck designs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4Ngaj4eG5s&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Got this dump trailer today from a neighbor. It has sprockets under it and it appears that when you back up, it dumps. Pretty well built. Any idea who made it?

It is about time we came up with a quicker process of weeding out weak offspring. Too bad we humans don't have more of these opportunities to strengthen our existence.

Not very scientific but interesting none the least. It will be interesting how the other two do. http://www.tfltruck.com/2013/08/ike-gauntlet-2013-toyota-tundra-crewmax-4x4-extreme-towing-test/

Looks like we own less stock! Looks like we won't be getting all out money back from this deal. http://www.tflcar.com/2013/08/treasury-sells-gm-stock/

Way to go GM. The stage is set for a all new showdown. Ford vs. GM: Twin-Turbo Showdown - PickupTrucks.com News Twin turbo with an 8-speed. Why does this make me salivate? Here is a link to GM's site...

2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions The New 2014 Ford Transit Commercial Van | Innovation In Design & Engineering | Ford.com It is interesting to see no V8 offering. Now the rumors are starting on what they will do with the F150. I would have never expected to see...

Easy 1 hour mod if you have a 2wd truck. I put it in the space where the 2wd trucks have a coin holder in place of the 4wd switch. In fact the wire harness for the 4wd switch is attached to the coin holder making it easy for the dash lights to be wired. It will be interesting to see how much...

I am not sure if this has been posted. If so I am sorry but it is quite entertaining. http://thebubble.msn.com/video/crazy-turbo-charged-tractor/?videoId=45b26704-1357-46cb-9de5-fb0fc5fa2661#.UKI0tfa9LCQ

I have been planning on doing this for quite awhile and finally found time to start and almost finish this week. I still have to swap my 3500 lb axle and tires out to 5200 lb axles. Here is the before to current progress photos.

Attached are pics of my options. 1st is a used setup with a 12" and 9" auger for $325. 2nd option a county line from tsc for $560 with taxes with only a 12" auger. As long as this older style will hold up I think o should hit that option. Opinions please.

I have had a bad day to say the least. I was cutting firewood this morning and the tree I was cutting fell on the tractor. I know I am a bonehead. It got hung up in another tree and changed directions on its way down. Halfway through the cut I even thought about that happening and then...

I have a B7800 that has one front tire that is damaged beyond repair. The other tire has about half the tread left. Should I replace them in pairs like I would a car or will it be ok to replace just one. Obviously there will be a circumference difference. On a car the differential will get a...

I finally broke my first turnbuckle on my B7800. Inspecting the other side I see that it is also stretched and not long before they too break. I have read where others have converted the weak turnbuckle style stabilizer setup on the B7800 to the Bar and Pin style on the 2910. I found that...

I have seen many chainsaw carriers on tractors on this website and decided to make one for myself. I never run the chainsaw without the tractor nearby since that is my mode of transportation when at home. I needed a more secure way of transporting the saw and once forgot and left it in my...

Well in the past I have posted my racks for wood storage. This is the first spring that I have had them to start a whole season. Here are my first 20 racks of wood seasoning for next year. I cut and split this in three 4 hour days. My knees were telling me to stop after the 4th hour. :) I...

I was bringing in another 10 day supply of firewood into the garage today and happen to snap a picture of my setup. I purchased 20 of these baskets this fall at a liquidator facility for $10 each. Today I was able to measure their capacity since I loaded two of them from wood I stacked this...

GC SERIES HIGH/LOW PUMPS I have this pump on my splitter and am reading that this pump has an "integral adjustable unloading valve. I am guessing that this is an adjustment that dictates when the second stage would kick in. When looking at the performance chart there are dotted lines showing...

I was able to get this log out of the woods. This is 1/3 of the tree. It is hard maple and very heavy. The front tires were off the ground several times coming up the steep hills. This piece is 10' long. I would have rather had two 15 footer for the saw mill but need a helicopter to get it...

I had bought a 55 gallon plastic drum of windshield washer to fill my rear tires and figured I would use the drum for fuel storage. I liked the fact that the side of the drum was graduated in 5 gallon increments and you can see the fuel level. I drilled a hole in each of the caps. The first...

I bought a medium sized ammo box a couple of months ago and looked for a good place to mount it on my tractor. I looked around the front and the loader areas and found no place to mount it. Finally I got tired of tripping over it in my barn so I searched once more. Came up with a way to mount...

...........to see in the woods. Finally a legitimate reason to say orange is better. Last week I was running fence along my property lines which run thru dense forest. Fortunately this time of the year there is little underbrush and it was easy to maneuver my Kubota through blazing a fence...

Last weekend I made some attachments for my front end loader. I will post some pictures that my aid others looking to do the same. First my dad and I made fork attachments by welding gussets to the sides of the bucket for a solid rod to go through. We then welded heavy pipe to back of the...
