And we finished the day with more things fixed and a group photo!

You must have a new camera, because those last few pics are huge! (it took a few tries, but I got those 2 flipped)

Above you said that you pour 5 gal cans of diesel in it to refuel. Leads me to an idea of making the extra tank in SD capable of refueling other equipment. A transfer pump and hose, detachable hose so as not to have the mess in the bed. Maybe have the hose mounted to the rear rack. Possibly a connection through the side of the bed or topper. Just an idea. We all know how these kind of things can go.

Now Matt,
Think about what you might have just done...
Just suppose I like that idea...
And I get off designing some inflight aerial refuel system for SquareD
And forget all about getting the thing running
Then
The anxious many here will come to put the blame on your shoulders!
Yea...Did you think about that???

I have thought about this with a cap that has side doors (I think Leer calls them "Windoors") on it. You could cut a hole in the side area that usually houses tools and have a place to hang the nozzle behind the "windoor". A switch to run the pump mounted in that space to turn the pump on and off. The only part that might be difficult is refilling the tank as you would have to have a hose that goes from the side of the cap to the top of the tank and to keep the angle reasonable so the filling doesn't take 37 hours it might have to be mounted pretty high up. A lot depends on how tall the tank is in the bed obviously.

I like this for a bunch of reasons- can re-fuel anything using the same fuel obviously, including the vehicle itself. It also would allow you to really plan out refueling stops for a trip etc. if you were adding 40 gallons or so you would have a really decent range and can plan using a GasBuddy app or something similar to seek out the cheapest places for fuel.

Who's the gal on Sarge? Is that Mrs. Don, or is she from the shop?

Atkinsmatt · « **Reply #356 on:** October 20, 2015, 03:13:06 PM »

I did think of the potential delay. The wrath of the fellow DOTs wasn't something that I considered prior to the posting of information that I got when the good idea fairy landed.

DOOLEY · « **Reply #357 on:** October 20, 2015, 03:38:34 PM »

YES FELLAS, THATS MRS DON. AND I MUST SAY, SHE IS A VERY CLASSY LADY. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO MEET HER.

KensAuto · « **Reply #358 on:** October 20, 2015, 04:18:11 PM »

Then why is she married to Don Mr Dooley? bahahaha

Flyin6,

I really loved seeing your pictures of the BIG RED. That being said, I feel a little misled. When I saw a post titled The Big Red, I thought this was going to be a post about the Nebraska Cornhuskers. I shouldn't complain though, that was one heck of a manly posting and I am now having tractor envy.

I hope it's coming along nicely for you.

Jeff

You know, I just realized we have never seen a glimpse of Norm. I think everyone else has been caught here and there, even Norms wife. Of course I bet she looks much better than him!!

So with pics in mind on this thread, how about gracing us with a pic Norm??

Mav, man...It's Maverick!

Yea, she's a beautiful woman all right
Our oldest daughter was considering modeling. Her cousin is the teen model you see in the Target stores...So we sent her to a modelling workshop. At the end each girl got some runway time in front of talent scouts.
While sitting there, one of the scouts asked my wife if she would consider a job offer! Good, yes, because, well, a girl's ego and all that. But bad, because our daughter was crushed that she had worked for a shot and mom shows up and stole the show...

I think Don married up! ;) She looks just a bit younger than him though. That's OK, my parents have 18 years between them.

Update:

Sarge is patiently waiting to get back in the shop to have the Loader Control Valve gone over again.

Lock-Tite found another leak in the thing. He thinks it is in between the two halves of the valve. The O-rings coming out of there are very old and hard now. This should account for all of them being completely replaced.

No telling what else we might find, but that old loader is looking and sounding pretty healthy!

When the O-Rings which are being shipped in from outer Mongolia where a Buddhist monk has been praying over them, come in, Sarge should finally be ready.

DOOLEY · « **Reply #369 on:** November 04, 2015, 12:47:26 PM »

HEY DON, SARGE IS BACK IN THE SHOP AND THE VALVE HAS BEEN RESEALED, THE PARK BRAKE CABLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED. LOCTITE SAID TO COME AND PLAY WITH IT NOW IF YOU WANT TO.

Larry, err, I mean Dooley, did Lock-Tite put the panels back on?

If not I'd like to come and blast the snot out of the innards to get rid of about a thousand pounds of sludge!

SORRY DON, LOC-TITE ASSEMBLED IT ALL THE WAY UP. HE SAID OL SARGE WAS WANTIN TO GO DO SOME WORK, LOL.

Here are a couple possible parts sources that I found:

www.attachmart.com

www.brokentractor.com

Seems like most of the stuff for a 1150 is a dozer type blade.

You sayin' his initials are "Nate?"

Flyin6 · « **Reply #380 on:** November 05, 2015, 10:11:45 PM »

I hope not

Cause, ya see I'd have to ban the varmint who messed with ma stuff. No body messes with ma stuff!

Thing is, I can't ban the Nate, cause of all the food ideas he has...I mean the man is indispensable!

But someone has to pay, so I'll just ban and fire Ken instead, ya know, as a warnin' to others.

So Ken is officially fired, that is unless someone wishes to plead his case...

Flyin6 · « **Reply #381 on:** November 05, 2015, 10:14:31 PM »

Could fire JR. He's a cop, and nobody likes a cop!

Or Mike. I mean he's teachin' art! What gun lovin conservative ever taught art?

OK, made up my mind, I'll fire Duane, cause he's never here anyway and no one will miss him anyway!

KensAuto · « **Reply #382 on:** November 05, 2015, 10:21:25 PM »

Anyone but me. I'm kind of attached to this place. snifflesniffle

I vote firing that guy that never comes around accept when he's trying to build a loft in Hippy Colorado....yeah, that guy....you already got the diff covers from him, we don't need him no more!

Flyin6 · « **Reply #383 on:** November 05, 2015, 10:27:03 PM »

We are rare- great guy who hired me; conservative (hippy) art teacher who loves guns -JW, then completely my HS Art Teacher - Ross- he took us hunting as his students and we lived in a North Shore Suburb! Then, my buddy (since 5 yrs. old) Ray- he teaches Art too, at our old HS and he likes guns, but he's WAY more conservative than I am.........he doesn't have as many guns, dogs, or bad habits like all of us! He does like Burbon though!

stlaser · « **Reply #392 on:** November 06, 2015, 09:55:26 PM »

I'd say just ban me but I don't think I have been unbanned since the last time. Which then brings up a new conundrum can you technically fire someone who is currently banned? In theory if I am banned then I am performing no relevant job duty. Not that I ever claimed I was ever capable of doing any particular job to begin with. Oh and don't get me started on Ash just go ahead and fire him already.......

A bottle of Baileys will work!

And on this firing stuff, I'm gonna just have to reconstitute everyone

Cause I can't remember what I did, why I did it, or who I did it to.

All of you, just be on notice...I'll be watchin' close for that first offender to make an example of...Ken, Shawn

my punishment will be to give you all a preview of a live cook/smoke of the pork belly/homemade bacon that is currently going on. check out the bacon thread here in a bit, let me get the pics up.

Bottle of Baileys, sounds like my dad!

Hmmmm... So the next time Don talks about firing someone we just need to go on and on about who he should fire instead, sufficiently confusing him to the point that he no longer remembers who he fired or why he fired them! :)
