Pealed the decals off my truck in preparation for selling. Pealed the paint off in two spots under passenger front door rocker panel. New strip of red vinyl going back on. Aluminum body so not too worried about rust, but pretty frustrating.
P.S. I was told recently that used vehicles like mine are getting bought up by US buyers with their 40% premium dollar. Interesting I thought. Guess it's nothing new.

I recently busted up about ten sets of teeth on my flail mower when I hit some unseen rocks in my pasture. It made quite the racket. The rocks are no more and the teeth are replaced. Lessons learned.

Quick attach on the excavator- fixed with 7018
Bucket on the track loader- fixed with 6010, 7018, and hard facing
Needle gun- junked, bought another
Plasma torch head- rebuilt
Shaker screen- haven't gotten around to it
F350 power steering pump- still works half the time so half as interested in replacing it

I know there's more but I have oldtimers disease and can't remember stuff- can't fix that.

Many may not like this, but I have found "after market" battery packs much cheaper and just as "reliable". So far. Fairly light usage. EbaZon has many flavors.

I have lots of Milwaukee tools, all except my angle grinder have been great. But the chain saw and weed whip us M18 RedLithium HD12.0 batteries all of which have failed after little usage. There is a YT video on how to replace s single cell but its not easy. Instead I have been buying 4 packs of "after market" HD8.0s for less than the price of one HD12.0 from Milwaukee and had outstanding life.

|Broke my homemade log splitter, the lift and turn cylinders both work fine, but the main cylinder is slow, and gets even slower on return.
