B.B.

Y'all knew I was going to do it... Tribute Demo Tractor Really need to paint the rest of it lol. Poor ole 986.... I've heard red power branding irons adds 20hp...

Will be doing that soon. I think that's the 500hr service and I'm at 425 or so.

Been cleaning up my bobcat today. I put new boom and model number decals on it. Old ones were a royal pain and then the glue was worse. Acetone brake clean and finally tried gasoline to get it removed. I got some touch up paint too. I would like to keep this machine looking nice

243 with a 55gr bullet?? Gotta be short little bullets!

“The wife” ehh??? it’s ok we’ve all gotten equipment stuck just own up to it lol

Yes it does

Been a long time.

My bush hog is broken... But that's another thread for another day. Sneak peak shot of what's up next for the 986...

This is a slick setup for spot spraying. I've never had such nice things.

I just finished spot spaying for weeds around the place. I've never had such a fancy setup before. Worked out really good. Equipment just keeps getting added to the yard.

Bushhogged with the 70A this morning. Moving some stuff around and just thought this made a good picture.

Rottweiler doing Rottweiler things... Looks mean I guess but he is just a big ball of goofiness. Will be your best friend for snacks...

Ya know when Grampa is gone one of these days it'll be a funny story... Cut him some slack

Taking pine needles I've seen it all now lol Probably a market somewhere for pine needles Bind the needles together with the cones with wax and make fire starter balls for campers??

I had to Google what a high tower is.... Evidently it's a greenhouse.

Congrats. I’ll never go back to mowing with one of my beloved cub cadet garden tractors after getting a new Scag a couple years ago.

No shade here lol. I like tractors first… then I like IH second. Don’t even dislike JD tractors. Some JD people though…. I still want a 4960

IDK it still messes up. Pretty aggravating

Decided I hook the 10' bushhog up... Ugh. It's always something lol

3pt back together and quick hitch put back on Got some new shift knobs too.

I've wanted to fix the 3pt end correctly since I got the tractor and just haven't taken the time. Of course every 20 min job is one broken bolt away from being a 2hr job... The third picture is what success looks like. The ole weld a nut on it truck lol

Picked up a few more parts for this 986. First off was replacing the badly cracked pto engagement rod dust cover

I googled and found these. I didn't build it exactly like this but pretty much did.

Built a new shooting bench

I definitely took it out and back in through the rear window. Man handling the thing over the 3pt and up through the window is the worst part. I had the window "wide open" as far as the notches go on the latches but perhaps you mean to disconnect the latches and open it up even further? Somewhere I read to remove the steering wheel and top shaft and I can see where working in the cab that would really help. I loosened the height adjustment nut thinking maybe the wheel and shaft would just pull out but it didn't seem to want too.
