I saw an add on CL for an old Sidney Engine lathe. Photo shows it disassembled, but for my purposes (parting out) it seemed interesting and the price was right. Seller is right here in town, so I make an appointment for the following morning. Turns out the family was clearing out the dad's...

Brought home a Drott 85RM2 "Go Devil" carry deck crane today. 60's vintage (serial #570). 8500 lb rating. 16' working radius. Starts and runs fine. Cylinders all good. A few oil leaks here and there, several grease zirks painted over. Going to give it a good lube and check fluid levels/change...

I have a two acre lot that is deep and relatively narrow. A ridge of granite ledge cuts across the property at the midpoint, just behind the storage barn. The crest of the ridge is roughly 8' above the grade of the parking area I have in front of the barn. There is a large, relatively flat area...

Or maybe more appropriately, "Howdy Y'all". Took delivery of a Kubota BX25D in August. Been reading up on various aspects of tractorology on the site. Picked up a lot of good info. Liked what I saw so decided to join up. Some photos attached. Took on a big project this past summer. Wife said...
