[WoodAbuser]

Heading to the cabin for a few days. Have a good weekend everybody. Don't have too much fun without me.

We got to shop at a HEB in Marble Falls, Tx a month ago. They had quite the selection of food there. Prices were pretty good.

the one close to me is a Flagship store and has well, imo... prob the best seafood/fish counter in the city! bar none.... octo, to clams, salmon to shrimp, King to Blue..... fresh salmon in daily!

We interrupt this other stuff thread for this scrounging firewood public service announcement:

As I expected, my new best friend's from last month emailed me to see if I wanted the pile of firewood that was left. His brother in law wanted it, but I figured his eyes were going to be bigger than his truck. So, there are probably five or six loads total. I got these three loads today and will go back over the weekend for the rest.

No wheelbarrows were harmed in the making of this public service announcement. Now back to your regularly scheduled other stuff programming.

thanks, i thot i was going to have to do it. nice oak scrounge just down the street a few houses on my agenda today. i don't need it, but it is just too easy! and i want it. homeowner said, sure take it. not sure why?? he has a back porch in austin stone with a wood burning fireplace built in, too... real nice fp ~

Worked on the Ranger changed the differential oil snapped a bolt had to run out for an ez out . New cover as it wasn’t worth my time to sand and paint the old one View attachment 1095226View attachment 1095227View attachment 1095228and now I took it for a real ride and I believe a front hub is going so I’ll jack it up tomorrow and check wouldn’t surprise me everything is original on the truck

Don't know if I posted this here before or not, but I don't think so. I bought the Woodland Mills 8" chipper and their stump grinder as well. We can REALLY use the stump grinder on our property, which was selectively logged about 10 or 15 years ago (before we bought it). Stumps everywhere in our woods.

Got the stump grinder about ready to go now. Been putting off cutting the PTO shaft and a few other details for over a week now. Still have to cut the PTO shaft on the chipper, add the hydraulic fluid to it and lower the base to get the PTO shaft angle correct. But I should be good to go with both of them by the end of the week. I hope so anyway.

I also took the tractor to a friend's house last week to set his new standby generator up on the platform that he had built for it (I don't know why he put it up on a platform). After that, on the way home I stopped at the bar to have a cold one, and just had to get a picture of the tractor parked in front of it LOL.

is it in Mn or Ia?

 

[Backyard Lumberjack]

Way I look at it next year I can go to most car shows with the truck as they require vehicles to be 25 years and older

that old mower looks to be in good shape!

i like Dungeness crab! meaty claws, and i will split the rest to get the meat between those sections, too. pilers help!

the PNW seafood joints famous for Crab Louies....

I prefer shrimp, I've bought a lot of prawns off a boat too.

You may be right. I hope to find out later today. Have to mow the lawn first, and then I'm going to try it. Since it's only rated for up to 40HP (I think if I remember correctly), I don't really want to run it on the larger tractor as that's 63 or 65 PTO HP, and There's a good chance I'd damage it. I guess I'll give it a shot on the smaller SCUT, and then make my decision. Since a lot of the stumps on my property are pretty old, I'm hoping that the better part of them are already rotten and won't be an issue grinding.

Guy cleaned it after every use . It was in use up until I got it

 

[SS396driver]

Gotta keep busy …. Toyota was throwing an EVAP code and a cat efficiency code . The cat code was a gasket . Hopefully the cap is the fix I bought a smoke tester nice little piece

Can't let @H-Ranch and @Cowboy254 post all the scrounged wood pics. Delivered right to the splitter . Most already marked @ 16" so just a little cutting on my part.

Part#, I can check
I found 2 2100 crank kits so far
