Part the ends off in the lathe and weld them to new stems! Brazing would also work.

Tommy Boy!

Dang Dale, sounds like being at the Haj in Arabia! Definitely dangerous. I'm glad you and your boy made it out safely. Good news on your wife. I hope her improvement continues at good speed.

With no GPS, you would hear on the jungle telegraph that there was a party at X. You would then drive to the general vicinity, shut the car off and listen for the music. That was how you found parties back in the day.

Beautiful picture. Glad you are safe. Thanks for for what you do for the rest of us.

I left a red shop rag in my pocket once. I got in trouble when it turned all of the underwear pink and left pink lint all over the washer!

I don't know NE, with a boating background I used to swear by ancor cable, but I redid the overhead panel in the cab of my case 930 all in ancor wire, including a main power lead of 10-2 with the outer sheath, and I have never seen the mice like anything so much. They ate the insulation off of all that wire one winter, and I'm surprised it did not burn the tractor down. I don't know if they have soy oil in that flexible sheathing or not, but the mice loved it. They left foot long area stripped down to the bare wires. Maybe the battery cables are different, but I'm just going with welding wire. I thought I was doing good by putting in that expensive tinned flexible cable, but it didn't last one winter! Lord I hate mice.

I have my chargers on one hour timers to hopefully at least minimize that chance. It's pretty scary.

I remember walking through them when going to the duck blind early in the morning. It did make for a lot of flailing around!

I found that picture! It's been damaged over the years but my grandfather is the one on the right. It's hauled up on the gin pole on his boat.

The old SA-200's had a reputation for being a very smooth welder. The old guys swore by them.

My grandfather caught a sturgeon in one of his pound nets on the Rappahannock River, took it to Baltimore on the steamboat, sold it for caviar and bought a used model T that he drove home. I think it was sort of like winning the lottery back in the old days. I have a picture of him and his boat crew with the fish hanging up on a gin pole. It was about 10 ft long.

Great news!

The motor might be worth more than the tractor.

Holy chit!!

I quit watching the news in 2019. My blood pressure has been much lower because of it.

Jimmy Stewart was in my father's squadron flying B24s in England.

And where is the tank? It doesn't look like it would hold much volumetrically either.

Bummer. Some of my favorite guns are on that list.

Cousin Eddie helping with harvest!

Stupid is as stupid does!

We will keep the prayers coming Dale!

Brodix wants to sell you another set of valves!🤣
