Ok, this weekend will be the Hoo Ray of racing. Going to DW42 for their Halloween Thing(3 days) and then I'm done. Car will get torn down, not sure what I'll actually get done to it, but time will tell.
Been poking around the yard with buddys Bobcat getting some landscaping done. Don't have alot done, but it's a start for now. Cleaning out some areas that PO had "landscaping" done and now it's just a mess. Tearing it all out, seeding grass and keeping it simple. I've seen some really cool plans to build a front loader onto small tractors, so thinking I'll look into some material and build one for the ol Cub! PF-engineering.com is the place.
Not ready for winter......and it's coming on wayyyy too fast. Furnace has been kicking on for over a week now. Yuk. Did get some bodywork done to the 95 F150, fixed a couple places over rear wheels that blew out this summer. She's looking good again, building myself an oil sprayer so I can do the underneath/doors/tailgate and such. I got a 1.5 gal pressure paint pot and building my own gun and should work nice.

Saturday was "tire" day here. Every year the township allows each homeowner to get rid of 8 tires. They have always taken a few extra from me 10-12 each year.
This year there was no limit and i was able to take 30 tires! I spent last Thursday over at my friends shop breaking down old rusty-nasty tires as they wont take them on rims, and since he is so busy i did 15 or so for him.
This really cleaned up my back yard! Now time to haul scrap! Get rid of these junky 56's!
Havent run the furnace YET! and it is cold in the house! No fire in the wood burner yet either! Lots of extra blankets.
Week ago Sunday I bought a trailer load of Farmall Cub tractor implements off craigslist, What a deal! belly mower, sickle mower, complete cultivators, 2 way plow, disc, and some misc parts all for $ 500.00. I bought it all just for the sickle mower and cultivators. I have a guy comming Friday to look at the plow, hope to move the rest before snow flies!
I changed my hours at work, I now work 4-10 hour days. this gets me Friday Saturday and Sunday off.

Brian,
The disc is 4-5 feet wide single gang. This is the fast hitch style for the cubs equiped with the fast hitch. Model F38
If you look on craigslist under farm and garden, farmall, you should find it. I have a pic there. I was asking $275 but I can do better for you. These farmall only attachments are getting HTF!
Waldord,
Swap meets are like a needle in a hay stack! I have done them in the past and online is way better! Plus I dont HAVE to load un load, I can keep the trucks together longer and only remove the part that someone needs. It just works for me.
If it unbolted and was in anyway useable it was saved. I can no longer save frames that have rusted off spring hangers, Cabs that have so much rust the DASH is rusted out etc. I still have 2 more to part out one 56 and one 55. I have the 55 in the shop now.
I'm going to use the front half of the dave boley frame to make a Y block run stand, with radiator, and I already have the switch/gauge panel built. Now when I get a junk yard engine I can at least run it to check vitals/comp etc.
