We used to always put up our tree and decorate Thanksgiving weekend after all the family dinners were done.

With that cab set up you can do some SNOW plowing! Tho you might have to change implents.....🤔

Hope the right person sees this.

I like a cab on a chilly, windy day!

The early style had a 2nd cylinder that laid horizontal alongside the transmission to adjust the tilt angle of the hitch and implement attached to it. They all had 1 lift cylinder. Many 400s were painted to look like a 450 to keep up with the neighbors.

I have not seen those

Test picture.....

I've heard that too, float in a stock tank bucket of water, whatever. It's dry enough to pick and store in a crib without spoiling.

Good deal! Prayers for a speedy recovery.

I've had rod of various numbers sit around for years after opening and still used it, including 7018. If your worried about it some guys would stick it to the work piece for a few seconds and let the welder cook it a little to dry out any moisture. Then break it lose and go to welding. I always try to keep as much as I can in the container or package it came in and closed up, until I need it.

Just seeng this some how. Congrats Jeff!

Maybe I just know I've done it a few times on accident and never used 7014 that I can recall.

7014 isn't the only rod that will do that.

Those rams horn manifolds were prone to crack. Maybe the reproduction ones don't, but the originals did. Dad had a 65 cab over with the heavy duty 292. Last year in The heavy trucks. I know his cracked and were replaced at one time. Might be under light use they won't crack either. Back in the day they were ran and worked hard. Probably saw some high exhaust temps under load. Those 57s were a good looking trucking my opinion. I'd be willing to bet that clutch has probably been replaced a time or 2 over the years. Unless it didn't see much use.

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳

Another thought, do you want that weld spatter that far forward? Looks like the stalk and shucks are being shredded before it can get out of the rolls. I always thought that welding was usually done at the back and to build up the ridges. Didn't think the smooth part was welded on. But as I say I'm no expert.

No expert, but did you try changing your ground speed? Maybe go faster? 🤷‍♂️

Had to throw a used tire on a hay rack wheel tonight to replace one that blew out sitting around. It is nice to have a machine around.

Often times this is true. Maybe not perfectly balanced, but a lot of times good enough. Put new Hankooks on my truck and never have balanced them. They are far from new now and haven't worn funny nor shake. Put new tires on my work car recently and drove it for a few days before I had time to check them. They were not real far out. Like 3/4 of an ounce to an ounce, some less than that. Not sure but what they were just as smooth before balancing.

Happy Birthday 🎂

Had one just like it for years. Worked pretty good. Need special nylon deals for the tire iron part if your going to do aluminum rims without damaging them. Air powered. Not much to them if I recall right. Big air cylinder powers everything. Several springs in there that retract stuff. They can break. I tookthe covers off once and cleaned out the dirt that had gotten in there. Coats 10/10 I think. At least mine was. 150 is a pretty good deal. Think I sold mine for 350 or 450. But thats been a few years ago. I have a newer style hunter? Now

I dont know anything from anything, but seems to me the longer you wait, the less you will have left that is in good shape. 🤷‍♂️
