  1. The trees are small and the leaves are big and shaped like hearts as I recall. They grow in wet areas.
  2. Kind of like a paw-paw, in that it is a very acquired taste.
  3. You are so lucky , we have the should be jailbirds littering away.
  4. You dog you…😎
  5. Like said just a toe clamp so you don’t have to fight the spring pressure as you remove bolts. As I recall on my 150B the steering clutch forks just sat in a pocket/ bushing on the bottom. If you are already in there….., I would rebuild both clutches , clean and lube all associated linkage. It’s not bad if you remain calm and collected. Good luck with it, show a kid what you’re doing, if there is one around.
  6. I don’t know how to get it here ,but the late great Warren Zevon has a good song called,”I Need a Truck”
  7. Mineral oil , a couple good gulps a day. I hope you find some relief and I hope it comes soon.
  8. About 12 k or so, not less
  9. I run into that not so good here too.
  10. The days of commoners have ing decent computer access are probably going to be rough until we let them build a data center in a bad spot somewhere near us. No avatars here and few pictures?
  11. We had an 80 megawatt combustion turbine at a place I worked. It would run on oil or natural gas. We had to call our pipeline supplier an hour or so before we started it, so they could start some pumps. It was a 12” line at a couple hundred psi as I recall. It had no smell either, we added the mercaptan at little station where the pipe exited the earth and then through a couple skids for regulation, metering, and shut off, then into the turbine engine. The plant was surrounded by a levee to hold back the Missouri during high water, the place was an island during the 1993 flood. The unscented gas always seemed like it could fill our levee pretty fast before we would know it, but it never did…….yet. I’ve done a bit of contractor work at a refinery , there were dudes there welding a hot tap fitting to a 24” or so pipe with gasoline flowing through it. I had to ask…..they said the flow keeps it cool enough to be safe?
  12. Looks ok , if you just want it exclusively as a loader, I would buy a loader, smaller articulated or skid steer. Ether one is quicker more stable for loader work.
  13. What I have way too much of lying around is me. As soon as the heat lets up we’ll get back in to it! That a good price on scrap, I think about $85 a ton round here.
  14. A good bit of oddness. If you only need a loader for occasional use, it might be ok, not great but ok. I would not add much value to the tractor because it has a loader. If you are a Welder of some medium or better competency you will be ok. I have rolled a trike w/ loader, it was way easier than I thought to roll it. Definitely pick up a load with it before buying!
  15. That’s the fanciest sale barn I’ve ever seen, but then it’s been 45 years since I was in one.
