Me, too. Looks we were all watching that one.

I didn't know you got the tools, too...or why is there a shiny lock on the tool boxes?!? Is the general 'hood that bad?

Late to the party. Near Chama, with mostly Unimog FLUs, a couple of CUCVs, and some other stuff.

If you have a decent sized solar panel(s) you might be able to keep that sick battery alive for long enough, especially if you can charge it with the Dodge for a while before starting the HMMH. Or just leave it in there, hook the Dodge to it and fire up the HMMH. Just don't stall it too far from...

I'm a big fan of bias ply tires, for several reasons, but in your case one stands out; driving in/on rocks I think you'd be much better off with the thicker sidewalls of a bias tire. Check out Interco, where you'll find a Super Swamper that's slightly taller and has a little bit wider tread than...

Alright, before I forget, the NAPA part number for the ether cans is 33121. It's a basic Kat's product. Ripper specs: Overall length is about 26 inches and it's 1" thick (as you could tell from the brackets on the bucket). The only "critical" measurements would be by the pin, on the bucket...

I think that making a template of it and sending it by mail, or taking a photo and posting it here with the crucial measurements might be the way to go. Your choice. Unfortunately I have failed miserably in my attempts to get a parts SEE. Haven't given up, though. Now I'm off to NAPA to buy a...

I can give you the measurements if you want. It wouldn't take much to make your own and put a ripper tooth on the end of it.

You're losing me here, Bison. You say that the HMMH came with the lockout, yet that it was retrofitted. That could be said for the forklift and crane, too. Be that as it may, I did think of a situation when having the lockout could be very helpful: If lifting a heavy load to, or nearly to...

I respectfully disagree, Bison. I rarely use the lockout function, partially because I forget that it exists except when playing around, rather than moving loads. Yes, it can be tricky to get the forks just right when setting a pallet down, but in my case it's usually the fore and aft angle...

I was wondering about that one, too, but after fixing the reservoir I filled it through that banjo fitting's hole. Didn't look like there was any other way. Apparently the idea is to check the fluid level by looking at the end of the reservoir through the slot in the cover, but since it seems...

This morning I thought of one thing you should check out; a ripper. I don't recall seeing one in the photos of you digging through rock, and I'd think it would help quite a bit. It pins into the holes on the back of the bucket, and is somewhat free-floating so you can still dig in regular fashion.

I got a case of Rapco paints a while back, including two green variants. Tried the tan yesterday, and it matched well. If the weather holds up I can try which green would be the closest. It would also depend on how faded your paint is, but as I recall, it's in good shape. But if you pull a...

It's probably a good thing that the smallest tractor doesn't have a quick attach loader. We call that one Barbie.

It's not much as far as progress goes, but at least today wasn't a step backwards.This is a strong hint of what got accomplished.And this is how it looks.

Happy anniversary! Hope you've had as much use of, and fun with, yours as I have with mine.

That's a good question. From the looks of it, probably four, maybe five feet. I rarely need to trench, per se, but it looks like a simple way to create new irrigation ditches. I'd only need to go down about a foot and a half, and at that depth there are no rocks to worry about. From what I've...

I might be buying one next week. It would be sweet to have the suite.

Suppose that the Zika virus isn't really a problem, but rather nature's way of adapting? It seems that many people's thinking power has been drastically reduced, so maybe Mother Nature is simply downsizing the craniums accordingly.

Don't bet on that, Mark. Consider that modern diesels have urea injection installed at the factory. We don't even need to pee in the tank, but can conveniently fill it up at the pump while getting diesel. Look at that as step number one. With our ever vigilant green movement, how far can we...
