When growing up, my family always had oyster stuffing. Now we usually have two stuffings at Thanksgiving, one regular bread-type, the other cornbread.

It's oyster stuffing for my family.

We are required to test our generator batteries once a month and replace them after 2 years no matter what at the hospital. This also goes for all of the emergency lights that are not on genny power. Needless to say we buy a lot of batteries. I have no use for a Group 4D battery but I grab the group 31's I made a jump start cart years ago and used a 31 and never had to charge the battery ever. Those e light batteries made their way into my battery back up for my PC internet and porch camera a few times. A long with the battery for my garage door. We just had our big Joint Commission survey done. Every 3 years they come up with some new ridiculous thing we have to do that they somehow missed the other zillion times they have been here. This time they said we need to install eye wash stations at all of our generators ( we are required to test battery specific gravity every month) or install maintenance free batteries. Well these are out side and a little bottle of cleaning chemicals won't fly as a station. It has to be a full blown eye wash. So with the cost of the equipment, running a water line, an enclosure and heat we went for the maint.free batteries @ $450 EA. X 4 for 3 of our biggest generators. Then we needed a special tester to satisfy the monthly test requirements. Another $400. Now we need a special charger maintainer for each generator. 6 of them at $1500 each, By the the time all was said and done we were at about 12 grand!

Stuffing is a major player in the world of Thanksgiving. Let’s face it: chicken and turkey can pop up at any time of the year, but when we want to dress those birds up, there’s just no substitute for some good ol’ carbyfilling. Even better, stuffing comes in all shapes and sizes. There are no hard and fast rules about what constitutes it—it can be bread, any kind of bread, rice, quinoa, and even matzo. There’s only one hard and fast stuffing rule: mix some ingredients, stuff it inside a cavity of another food item, and voila! Make no bones about it—it’s delicious. That’s why, on November 21, we celebrate National Stuffing Day! With Thanksgiving just around the corner, today is the day to perfect your stuffing recipe. Making a traditional apple and onion stuffing? Use today to hone your ratios of caramelized onions to tart apples to thyme. Or, if you're hosting a holiday for the first time, test that fabulous stuffing recipe before it’s too late.

800 Special & 50” Sickle

I do that often.. at least on one side. Some people use chapstick, to give that wax ring style seal, but not stick together. That’s a hot rodder carburetor trick some old guy at work (my boss) taught me! -
Paul - that is a valid point. The smaller tires & low back seat team up to make it "cute"!

With so many tractors, batteries have been a source of aggravation for me for a long time. I have ONE Interstate battery. I just knew that spending the extra money would get me past the "get what you pay for", and it would be worth it. Sadly, it's weak every time I want to start the tractor. If I plan to use it, I have to put a charger on it the night before. Point being? Batteries are one area that have become hit or miss at best. Cheap, no name batteries are as likely to be better than not. Name brand means nothing anymore. I have two "powersports" batteries that are half the size of L&G batteries with double the CCA and longevity. They will spin a K321 over like a sewing machine and 10 crank attempts before fading. All of my tractors have quick disconnect cables. At least this way I can swap one in 5 minutes with minimal effort as well as hard disconnect if I suspect a drain. I use whatever works...

@cleat what finish pain are you using?

Make absolutely sure that fender latch is in good shape. Those fenders have a funny way of introducing new ways to dismount the machine. ...ask me how I know. I had no idea that I could flip that many times over level ground. My FIL wants to put a big metal hood latch on his. He also has experienced the "C series flip".

I am doing an front axle conversion and need a complete set of tie rods for a 520H. If you have a set in good condition please let me know. Thanks, Scrusher

Picked up this little gem tonight...

Did you ever figure out what was wrong? -
I don't know what the tolerance on a bearing is, but in the world of sockets 3/4 of an inch is considered interchangeable with 19mm.

Need help with a c160 automatic that want start
wallfish replied to CNC's topic in Wheel Horse Electrical
What did you do with the wires? Easier to jump the wires than remove safety switches. Battery ignition on a vintage C-160 would need those wires connected together to complete the circuit. Is there 12v to the small post on the solenoid when the key is turned to the start position? -
Thank you for the reminder. I don't weigh much and I'm not planning on pulling a plow or doing any heavy clevis hitch work with it. I do live in a hilly area though, so it's always good to have a reminder. Gravity does not give you a warning. The sliders came with the seat. It is a Vevor forklift seat. You have to try one. I personally think they are fantastic for the price.

Make sure she is running on 2 cylinders

I guess I will be one of the ones to disagree. Transmission frame and front axle are the same as bigger horses (ok front axle is bit narrower.) Only real difference is the size of the wheel/tires and the Techy 6 hp vs Kohler 7 or 8 hp. It will not pull a Moldboard plow or a tiller (well it will pull one of old self powered ones) or mid mount grader blade. ...but other than that it can plow snow, blow snow, mow grass and pull stuff. The replacement HH70 on my L-107 is 34 years old and has been used consistently since installation, the last 25 years 4 to 6 times a week in good weather 2 or so per week in the winter. . She is starting to smoke a bit on start up but when I use the recoil two pulls cold one hot. ...and she will pull away immediately no warm up required like some of my kohlers. And she is a lot easier to get on and off than her bigger brothers... Sorry I really like Ranger

I got my spare ram resealed tonight after dinner. I still have to reseal the hy-2 pump I bought last year, and then that set will go on the tractor before winter, but I can't find anything in the shop right now. Once I can move the lift and some other things to the new section that will improve. -
have this in Akron Ohio

When I worked at Advance if any of us had a dead or weak battery we would go through the core pile with the tester looking for one that was at least close enough to what we needed and would pass a test. Then we swapped it for our dead one. In three years nobody I worked with ever bought a battery. We changed them a few times a year, bit we never bought one.

Sometimes the operator manual has carburetor and governor info

Some manufacturing is being moved from China to other nearby countries to avoid tariffs, or they may be made in China and labeled in Vietnam. Lots of battery manufacturing move to Mexico in the 90s.
