Man I really like those blocks. Unless I have lots of rocks those maybe in my future.
Cleaned 8 of 12 pool filters (takes 4) trying to clean it up. Booster pump bearings for the sweeper are shot so I got a robotic on the way.
Pulled the front bumper off the sub for the other sub so I can sell it.
Put the new 6v cart batteries in the trailer. 5 year old Wally energizers were toast. Everything in the trailer works again, even the gen! (Costco/interstate only gives a 1 year warranty on these now!!)

Just booked a Disney World vacation for the family. My wallet is hiding now,,,,,,,,,,,
JR are you doing all the planning on this? Call or text me sometime, I could be a Disney travel agent.... 
Did a whole package at AAA, just need to get to/from the airport (Sac) and figure food out.

Yep, if you can't space it or mill the hub a deeper rotor could be the answer. There goes the nice slotted/dimpled rotors though.

Much of my July will be away from home.
D World trip, scout camp then a week alone mostly at the ranch (named Raptor Ridge by the kids)
Access road, pad and well are the next 3 things. May just drop a container at the bottom just to store things.

Just needs a spacer, right!

Think I have the same issue with the Polaris. Starting running bad after I filled it, just gas I had laying around.

Started on the quick attach on the bucket.
Ground off the really bad stuff and applied rust converter. Now wait for 24hrs to paint.

Did he attach a raise to all those assignments?
Wonder if lurkers will get in on this, maybe I can get a couple HC out of this.

That Gerber folder is my every day pocket knife...er tool. If you didn’t know, you can mail that thing back to gerber they’ll either clean and sharpen or replace. All for the cost of shipping!
Heck, had flashbacks of baby food,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I like the HC, but they are double the price.
Don, was that coffee good this AM?

A little more info on the new BB. Tractor is rated for a 72in and at 1040bs. My BB2572 is 810 lbs and heavy is better on these, right?
3 questions though,
1) want to mount a tool box on the tractor, thinking a 50cal ammo can on the rear ROPS. What do you think, bigger, some place else and recommended extras?
2) dash instraments, like angle/tilt and a volt meter. The main dash is on the right fender so manage when using the BH. Maybe a cool LCD with a rear camera when I'm dragging?
3) hooks on the loader, it has none. Thinking 3, ends and center.
Input!!

First thing is finishing all the little service items. Still has a leaking hub which I can do for $50. Want more lights too.
My idea on the ROP is too remove the top and front, then hinge the rear loop or make it a slide off unit. Ideas welcome.
Little damage on the right foot rest and a cover is needed for those hoses. I know it is the wrong side, but I want a step on that side too.

Well, with the land comes other things, namely the Kubota tractor and the Maxx'd trailer. Not heading up for a few weeks with scouts and holidays.
Trailer works great, tows great and handles whatever I have put on it so far. It does need removable sides and a storage box for all the tow goodies. Also going to add a 6k winch I have laying around for good measure. Plan on a couple shipping containers which will need moving once or twice. Hydro solenoid got stuck getting the Kubota, but a couple wraps fixed that.
Tractor needs a little more TLC, looks like it was near the ocean for a while. Lights need work, general maintenance and the ROP will be modified. It needs to fold down to fit into storage vs getting HC containers that are double the price.
Plopped the bucket off by the trailers and parked it by the Polaris getting it of the neighbors yard who just moved out (of course I had their blessing)
Ordered a set of quick release pallet forks from Titan and will order a will a weld on thumb tomorrow. They have a great point system giving me $25 in points for the forks, and the prices are lower than Ebay, ship free. Getting the mechanical thumb for now, will add hydro later. Kubota is setup for a thumb, but it has a quick attach bucket, so a Kubota thumb is out (and crazy $$$) Already got the box/blade for it, left it on the trailer in the storage yard.

I would just throw the new hydro on.
I have seen much worse water damage in pumpkins. Looks pretty good.

My kids are a smarter than this. It is meeting pushback too. Wonder why this state is 50th in teaching.
Bought a set of quick attach forks from Titan, tomorrow I will use the credit from those for the thumb.

Trailer back in storage, dropped the tractor bucket and stuck it by the side of the house.
Have so much to do to it and some to the trailer, so I will start another thread for that.

Thought I smelled a business opportunity with those matts.

No fence for me either. Will do a gate or 2 and whatever big rocks I find.
So Ken, this is longer term than mine? Plus like a days drive.

That is some big rock, looks like a stream.

I got a set of huskies for the burb, they were crap. Paper thin and had like a 2 inch lip along the door.
Maybe that was because this thing is 30 years old, but they went back.
5632
« on: May 21, 2019, 08:51:57 PM »
Being they are from an 70-80 el dorado front (not a light car) they might be fine for the rear then.

You wouldn't need to run fluid to the caddy caliper once it was pressurized. I believe those pistons don't retract after closing the pad gap. ..they have a threaded ratchet type mechanism and iirc the ebrake lever is adjustable..a splines shaft. Been a while since I dealt with those...same as vette.
I believe that is correct.
True, did them on a 9.5 axle, worked great. Not sure if they are rated for the 8k sub though!

Nice quick fab work. I was almost thinking alum spacer on the stock mount.
Don't drop something on those toes!

Thx guys, unfortunately it will be a few weeks before I get back up. That's ok as I have plenty to do here.

Spent over 2k at the tractor store today, but got a HD box blade. 3/8th wall, boxed 3 point pins and sacrificial ripper teeth. Hydro oil is $103/5gal for the good stuff and $55 for the OK stuff (Kubota=Valvoline), need 15gal. 3 hydro filters, $200. Service was another $800, that just included fuel filter, oil change and grease. SUpposed to fix the horn too (button missing) but not sure if it works yet

Reminds me Ken I need to measure for a thumb. I have lots of rocks!
Was a pricey day at the tractor store. Service $800 for oil change, fuel filter, new horn button and grease!!
$200 for 3 filters and a over a grand for 72in Land Pride HD box blade. Others were 5/16 wall and pin only 3 point. This has 3/8 walls, captured pins with sacrificial rippers.

He could have at least sunk the screw and then patched, jerk. See the mail into my laundry stack in my build?

Nice work. I take it the drip rails now drip vs channeling the water away?

Good looking road there too. So you did you buy or rent?
Hoping my little 45hp does a fair job on my roads, picking it up today.

Is that the HF stud gun you are using? Mine is OK but grabbing the studs is a chore.

Here is a pic from the n/e corner. I drove up to about 100ft from where I want to build (front of truck. You can see the end of the road too (south)
Here is a sorta 3d pic. Plotting out the road, pad and well area. The yellow dash is where I was parked in the above pic.

Saw the land pride today, cheap looking like 3/16 sides.
Walked the property and makes some lines.rear is way up the hill, had problems finding it.
Can't find pics on phone

It's getting there, lots of good stuff.
That 80 will be sweet when done.
But afraid, Dana 80=tach topper.

My cell sits right where that new switch is on yours. Doesn't block the view and I can see it fine.
Like the new head unit, thought off and on about doing that in mine. I also have XM and rarely play CDs.
In retro do you wish a 10.5 had found its way to you?

« on: May 17, 2019, 08:15:44 PM »
Dang, you must be going pretty close to my place. Was thinking about heading up there tomorrow, looks like weather is coming in too.
To bad about the tires. Never makes for a fun trip.

Gave the ultimate for others.
What more can you add.
