I cleaned up the exhaust fan I use for painting and did a bit of modifying to it so it's easier to change filters..

Good evening folks

Got the dandelions cut and managed to do some loading today, felt good to be doing something today, kept it light and easy so that I can step it up tomorrow.

Bit of a cool start to the day Colin.

On your F68 Colin, do you have hydraulics and if you do, how well do they work.

Not so hot here but this weekend is supposed to be warmer. How big is your trailer Gerry?

Just regular furnace filters or special ones for your paint booth?

I was going to spray for dandelions but after reading the instructions that might not be safe for my two dogs.

I have a couple of hydraulic hoists for a one ton truck laying around, nobody seems to want them.

I've got 2 sets of hydraulics myself Morris, 1 is pto driven and the other is 12 volt driven. This truck that I'm picking up has hydraulics and I was wondering what I should expect of them. Would like to use the truck as a toy hauler or light landscaping loads like 2 or so yards of 20 mil crush or up to a skid of sod.

Happy Friday folks, the weather is beautiful here today, warm with a nice breeze.
You should have no trouble with 2 yards gravel, mine could lift 6,000 lbs of grain with ease.
Very nice trailer Gerry, I really like your Mustang a lot too!

Happy Friday All. What a Crap Storm at work this morning. The bank screwed up our payroll. I had drivers calling me at 6am. The bank had it fixed by 11am. Have a great weekend guy's.

Good afternoon folks

Looking good outside so it should be a good one.

Buddy Sigurd got back from up north last night, ground is really soft up there right now.

Still waiting for buddy Dwight to show up from Windermere so that we can load the last of his sidewalk stones, normally gives notice if he's running late as we both are used to pre set dock times.

Other people stuff is done and just in time for a break

Bit warm so its going to be a slow and easy day, just as long as something gets done thats all that matters. Get to make some noise with my 4.5 cut off so that'll let the neighbors know that I'm still kicking.

Yes I have hydraulics and they work as they are supposed to, I have had a couple yards of dirt and it lifts the deck with no problem.

This 1950? Mercury that I'm picking up is a M68 as far as I can find out and I was curious about whether the hydraulics back then were of reasonable strength. I won't be using them all the time but was hoping that they would be safe for about 2 tons including deck weight.

Might have a deal on a garage about 200' from my place and can see it with my camera system so it would be somewhat safe. Its insulated, drywalled, lit, fan, and has 220, 110 power.

Pretty trailer Gerry
