Nice Ford Pete. Don't be alarmed if some day you find it missing, I might be uh borrowing it.
The Farmall looks nice. You should turn the craftsman into a go-kart, take off the deck and remove the govenor on the engine and that thing should fly. Just don't rev the **** out of it for the hell of it or the engine will blow up. A kid at my school blows up small engines for a living by removing the govenor an reving the living **** out of the engine.

I would do that, but I actually need it to do mowing.
Dad likes to say the grass doesn't need mowing until it is about hood height on that little Crapsman. It's got a decent enough engine to be able to power through it in low gear so it's worth keeping around. Usually I try to knock it down with that Ford + bush hog before hand, but sometimes it just isn't possible.
BTW: Why is your 6637 still waiting to go in? It's been waiting to go in for as long as I've been on FTE.

I'll trade my pos Sabre for that crapsman. My sabre has been through hell and back. It's so old that the hour meter has gone to hell. We have farmer fixed that sabre so many times that Its almost to the point where it will break and we will need a new one.

Just go out and find a tractor that doesn't work. Get it for free. Fix it.
I got that Crapsman because the p/o couldn't get it to start.
It's got a safety to keep it from starting when the blades are engaged. The p/o couldn't get the blades to disengage. I just yanked on the lever for engaging/disengaging for a while pretty hard and got it to disengage. Once it did that and I put a new battery in it fired right up.
There was a little bolt sticking out too far that was jamming up the blade engaging linkage. I just pulled the entire bolt right out since it didn't appear to be holding anything and it works like a champ with no ill effects.

There is one problem with that idea... My dad hates junk lying around taking up space. But it would be fun.
Has anyone dug into a rear end? I am going to be helping my friend fix the rear end on his 94 reg cab flareside with a 351 Windsor. I am a little bit worried because I don't want to **** up his truck.

Yeah smae here. But I do know a guy who has a pulling tractor. The only problem with the tractor is that it's a case.

I used to pull lawn tractors.
I'll grab a pic of my pulling tractor next time I'm there. I don't really pull anymore. I still have the tractor though.
She's a Cub Cadet 1806 with a Kohler K361 single cylinder 18hp engine.
And... IT'S GOT A STACK!

That's EXACTLY what my problem was/is, Lisa. I feel so weird eating little snacks all day. It just doesn't feel "right".
Dude!! You look like you're is AWESOME shape!! You would probably rip up BIG TIME on P90X!
Ed, that is EXCELLENT progress!! Like I said, I PRAY I get results like that!!
'afternoon, ma'am!!
Yeah, after my meeting, I hung around the office a little, then went home for lunch. I had an eye app't at 1pm today. I'll be turning 39 in June, and I've been getting these weird headaches for the last 2 months or so. Turns out I have a bit of a need for some lenses, and my right eye is worse than my left. And I have an astigmatism. But I still have 20/20 vision, it's just I have to focus harder. I hope these make the headache go away!
Either that or they're just sympathy headaches for Cris.
Maybe if she gets hers to go away, mine will. LMAO!!!!

Plus contacts in science labs are a no-go and contacts while welding are a no-go.
And if you get a drop of sweat in your eye and you rub your eye your contacts get all screwed up.
They're nice for the peripheral vision, but that's about their only benefit as far as I'm concerned.
Plus for the year I wore contacts everyone said I looked weird without glasses.
Plus if you don't know an answer in class you can pretend to be busy cleaning you glasses and they won't pick you.
