Wow, that is really cool info. The seat on mine is in terrible shape. How can I get that replaced?

Ok, New Topic, Wheel Horse Rectifier Ignition?
Railboy replied to Railboy's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
wallfish, I had read that at times internally the ignition can go bad, conducting a cross-over. Something I read in the threads.... -
Where the heck was 953 nut this time?
953 nut replied to 953 nut's topic in non tractor related discussion
I have been keeping up with the iron supplement and gaining a lot more energy. Started PT a few weeks back and am well on my way to regaining the strength that was lost while keeping hospital beds warm. -
As part of the transformation of the DMV in New York, there were significant negotiations with the union over job classifications, performance standards, and staffing levels. I don’t know the details, but apparently there was good faith and pragmatism on both sides of the table which led to a successful contract agreement. Workers now must complete, and show competence in, specific stages of training before they are assigned to handle certain transactions. Both their demonstrated skill level and ongoing efficiency are now major factors in their compensation with seniority now a minor factor. Management also has standards they must maintain which include customer and staff satisfaction. Yes, it is a bit like a factory now but the upside is that employees at all levels can know both expectations and opportunities while still having some of the job security of civil service.

Yeah same here as @953 nut. Contracted out so they have employees that give a hoot. I take the ten minutes trip to an adjacent smaller town and hit the D.M.V and a brick and mortar dirty spoon. Good stuff. Not good for ya. two cars a year probably wont kill me

Got my garden plowed, first time with the C160
Razorback replied to Razorback's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Overnight the same night we got quite a rainstorm, perfect for settling the plowed garden. Once it dries out I will get it tilled and start planting. Meanwhile, the cabbage plants I babied through the winter have made some nice heads. I took two heads, chopped them, and am making some sauerkraut in a recently-acquired crock. I really like this crock.... it has a water seal between the top of the crock and the lid.... it lets fermentation gasses out, keeps air out. I'll let it ferment for another week or so. Last year I made my first batch of kraut using a food-grade bucket w/lid and a vapor lock in the lid. It turned out WONDERFULLY! -
Dimensions needed for Mid Mount Grader Blade Bracket
BradKahler replied to BradKahler's topic in Implements and Attachments
Well dang, I'm sorry to have to report that the window for ordering has expired... I'm glad you like the progress so far! I've got to file two of the slots in the sector plate to size, tack weld the shaft to the sector arm and then do a trial fit on the tractor. If all goes well it then next up will be a lot of welding, cleaning, and painting. -
@WHX?? As I said I am not worthy, but Bill however totally is !

The original BF Goodrich Silvertown All Purpose 6-12’s on my 854 are on the verge of aging out so I’m on the lookout for replacements. These, and their Firestone cousins, look like the snow tires of yesteryear. I’m not interested in Ag bar-style.

Got my garden plowed, first time with the C160

Niiiiice -
I had to go my local DMV Office years ago to rectify an error on my truck Registration Renewal paperwork. There was this one infamous "State Employee" (notice that I did not refer to her as a State Worker - her major contributions to the facility were Coffee breaks & Lunch). She had the bitter personality of a freshly lanced hemmorhoid. I was fortunate not to to get called to her station, but some other guy did. The two of them got into a heated "discussion" - he leaped over the counter and started to wail on her. Her co-workers stood back out of the way as he landed a few swings. Then the local Police showed up (local, as in two doors down the street). I don't suppose he ever finished his transaction...He probably wasn't going to be driving anytime soon anyway...

Thursday afternoon/evening I got our garden spot plowed. This was the first time I have used the C160 for this (I usually use my Speedex 1631). It did quite well! Since I acquired this C160 in 2018 (I think), I have only used it for tilling and cultivating.

I got 11 years of use out of the Magnum 12 before I changed. It had got tired and was using oil, just needs a rebuild.
-
That is one advantage I have in a small town like Franklin, the DMV contracts out licensing and even during Covid when only one person could be in the building at a time I had about a two minute wait time.
-
Bill, I too will keep you and the medical team in my prayers.

It's alive and well here in the PeeAaa. Unless you know about the small unadvertised DMV office located in the rear of a private licensing service. -
The LSE should be here tomorrow. If anyone has interest in it please PM me. I'll post pictures when it's here.
-
Don't know about your end of our state but we have a little rain in the forecast for this afternoon.

Sound about right... Here in RI, the phrase "yeah, but everybody's BIL needs a job" comes to mind.

The DMV gag now falls flat in NY State! Partly driven by the COVID epidemic, the DMV has dramatically overhauled its DMV with better training, specialization, systems, and management. The last three times I’ve had to go in person (routine transactions like renewals are all now available online) I was at the counter within minutes of my appointment and out of there promptly. The only downsides are that appointments are mandatory and the somewhat higher fees, but I think both were inevitable anyway.

As a former resident of the Empire State I can assure you that NOTHING the state does FOR its people is done for any reason other than obtaining revenue. The FEE in 1901 was a paltry sum of $ 1.00, doesn't sound to bad until you put it in the inflation calculator and find that it becomes $ 388.48 in today's money.

Yes. Several years ago. Kids had a long driveway. Made of wood scraps I had lying around. I used 1/2 carriage bolts. I wished I had used grade 8 maybe they wouldn't have bent over.

That would be cool for Wild Bill to wear at the parade. I've see vintage pics at Indy 500 and the guys on horses pulling the cars wearing those. They have to be extremely rare. Anything else of interest there Tom?

Of course, accompanied with the obligatory registration fees... And, the first 27 people in line at the DMV are still waiting for their tags...
