Someone on here from south Africa had a B-414 mahindra knockoff with a 2 cylinder diesel.

My FIL is convinced these are valuable, maybe in pristine condition they are, but these aren’t. One is salvageable, the other maybe you could scavenge a piece from it? Idk. I’m debating putting them on marketplace, I would give them to someone who could use them, but I hate to put it on for free to have some fly by night scrapper show up in his 01 Ranger looking to see what he can come back and steal when I am not home.

It’s not the greatest quality for sure, but TSC is used for 90+% of my bolt needs, anything else is either NAPA for the odd bolt need or an online supplier. I just ordered 100 3”x1/2” galvanized carriage bolts with nuts and washers, shipped for $104. I can’t even buy half the bolts locally for that and if I wanted to check Fastenal I would have to schedule an appointment, and I bet they wouldn’t be able to fill the order, and it would be 2-3x the money.

I know they took the castings and such from the B series tractors and had once made a similar looking machine, but I didn’t realize they still were making it. I would love to see one up close to see what is the same. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1DwBr8FVv9/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Split up a little firewood. Mostly ash, but some of it was elm, we don’t see much of that any, but there are a few, mean nasty stringy stuff and takes several years to properly dry.

It’s hard to imagine air gas having less inventory in stock. We have oxy/acetylene tank leases with them, all the welding gases through Maine Oxy. The acetylene torches use O-rings like there’s no tomorrow, probably there’s a better O-ring but in the moment I go to the kit, grab a new one and get back to work. I was in there the other day looking for O-rings for the torch that was bought from them. The guy acted like I was asking for a flux capacitor. I tried to buy a box of flap disks and a box of grinder disks.. no dice. The last round I was in there I had a broken regulator gauge on the helium tank.. no dice, we can order it.. i mean come on, a welding supply can’t carry a gauge for their own product line? Or grinding disks? And then, if you do buy something, like gloves or a striker or welding tips for the mig you get a big hazmat handling charge on the bill, usually they will drop the charge, but it’s still half an hour on the phone to argue about it. If you think my review of Airgas is rosy, you ought to hear what I have to say about Fastenal.

They have quite a variety, tractors, kitchen mixers, raccoons flipping the bird, skulls and flowers… weird. https://bricklt.com/collections?page_num=1

Look pretty cool.

A friend had the engine out of their Hough 90, idk what it is, but it’s big. That thing sat blocked up on a pallet ran just as smooth as could be, i figured it would jump all over, but it didn’t.

Prayers for the families of the victims of the school shooting in Bend OR. A K-5 school, my brain just cannot wrap itself around a motive. Thank God for the armed citizen who stopped the shooter before more lives were lost.

@forwhldrv my wife’s family farm is near there, I should take a trip down.

The one on the left will make you grow bigger and the one on the right will make you grow smaller.

I would consider the Ford 2,9 and 8N to be rare.

Great seeing the family all there, I bet he loved that.

My constant gripe with fire trucks, CDL exempt, my opinion is that if they can’t shift, they shouldn’t be driving. Both our tankers are manual, a 10 speed, which is a whole different world from a pickup and a 5+2, with 3,200 gallons, 425 hp and air ride, I don’t want just anyone in the drivers seat.

Last camping trip of the year. It’s a little chilly, but not bad, showers get 1/5 stars.. do not recommend.. dog doesn’t care.

I splurged on this D14 a while back

I bought my wife a Generac Electric one it works well for what it is, be careful with paint and decals. You aren’t supposed to, but I hook it up to hot water and it improves performance drastically. https://www.generac.com/residential-products/home-maintenance/pressure-washers/pressure-washer-2300-psi-electric/

Once you get the clips in if it’s tight, give the back of The yoke a couple blows with a hammer it usually seats the cups and loosens up the joint.

I cut the crosses out with an acetylene torch, usually that’s enough for the caps to come easily, but if not blow a hole in them and they’ll come easily.

I had one in my truck in school, 97’ GMC regular cab half ton, 4’ Firestick whips on the toolbox, A Cobra Night Watch and a leftover CASE decal from painting the first 580K backhoe. I thought I was pretty cool, i eventually gave up on that when there was nobody to talk to and put it in the dump truck so I could talk to the lady in the scale house at the local pit, saved having to get out of the truck. I bought the tuner doo-dad from radio shack, still never quite got much range on it. Ppl told me it was the ground plane, but nobody could explain it.

That’s an awfully hard call. I suppose a lot has to do with his relationship with his sister and uncle.
