That's what this one is Mike. I bought it for a UPS only to find that the UPS was actually bad. I never put a battery on the penny but instead installed an Anderson pigtail on it and cut a cheap set of jumper cables in half and installed Andersons on those. A quick plug in and hook to a tractor and I'm cranking away. I also have the yank cord thingy but the shoulder really fights that idea these days.

Believe it or not that's been fading FAR longer than most folks realize. The first heavy truck I drove was a 1999 IHC with a VERY tough clutch. I taught myself to double clutch on that and immediately taught myself how to shift WITHOUT the clutch. Haven't used one since, other than at stop signs and lights. All the drivers I've known. All the 150 plus trucks I've driven. All the people I've trained. ONE guy double clutched every shift. One.

We recycle dozens of these batteries every year at the hospital and they are still good. Emergency lights and UPS's. The e lites are mandated to be changed every 2 years just like the Generators. I have one in the UPS under my desk at home now that's over 2 years old. I need an odd ball one for the back up on my garage door opener. Luckily we have one bldg that has an E lite with the correct size! The battery I took out of my garage door this fall had .6 of a volt!

One day.... long ago.... a word / practice was born

Siggghhhhh... would you guys believe I made it no problem. BUT... found the sidewall blown out on the passenger rear. I am going back Saturday morning with a pair of tires to swap on / swap weights and chains. -
Sounds feasible, but I wouldn't trust it. Why not sell or donate the chair and buy a lift from Harbor Freight for $139 or less that is designed to do what you want to do. I found one used for $75.00.

Life as brought me another new hip this past Monday and as part of my preparation I purchased a used power recliner which has worked great. Well as I pushed buttons to raise and lower the chair I naturally ruminated on would the power lift in this chair pick up the front end of my 312-8? I weigh 230 lbs and it does not strain lifting me. Of course I am not going to rip the chair apart to find out but some of you might have some thoughts. I bought my chair used for $300.

We need more women like her. I married one...and she is special !! -
And the art of double-clutching fades as a distant memory...

It obviously does an excellent job moving snow. Be safe in your travels. This storm is going to miss Chicago Land...Thank You Very Much. -
Maybe just enough to play in and no ice/power outrages.

I'm running an HY2 hydraulic unit and thought I probably couldn't feather the up/down pressure so figured I'd be better off floating on thru brother

First major hurdle is over. -
Yes tilt of vertical ill try a different set of holes that ebinmaine talked about.to help with the snow role to the side. Seams like I get a full blade with no role off or very little. Blade is slick and not full.of rust etc. I usually take all the snow to one edge of my driveway with the 854 which is a beast. That 8 hp impresses me. Then I fire up the c141 with a snow blower on it and chuck it into the yard. That way I have double the fun 😁 😂

@sqrlgtr Why the chain vs solid shaft? And how long is the solid shaft you used? About to connect mine and not sure of best way to go. ?? Thanks!

Every truck I've ever driven and every fork lift I've ever operated has had a separation of clutch and brake.... except the increasingly rare AUTOMATED manual transmission trucks. Note the difference in spelling. No clutch pedal. 😕 But you don't drive it like a true manual transmission in the construction industry. Now most of both machines are automatics.

Looks about right for me and @sqrlgtr just under 2 inches

Whoa!!!! When did they move the track that far north?????

Does anyone know the thickness & width of the reversible scraper on 36” snow blower? 06-42st 04

This battery isn't AGM. I'm inclined to think something went haywire inside the battery. Just to get me by for now I ordered another cheap sealed non-AGM battery. I'm just using a NAPA 1.5 amp charger/maintainer that will operate when the generator is running or, of course, if I plug it in to house power. I'd like to go with a AGM battery but it would mean a different charger. I decided to go the 'just get by for now' route.

And you call yourself a Truck Driver !!! Yes, it is a different animal, jumping off the 854 and onto the C81...

The only thing I am waiting for now on this 1057 is the E/fuel pump. This was supposed to be my winter build. But this went faster than I thought it would. But it is not running yet. I am sure there will be some tweaking to be done. I had this almost three years now just sitting doing nothing but taking up space. The seat was worth putting these patches on the seat from years of use good enough till I can have it reupholstered by Matt. I hope you enjoy the picks. OHH Also Wallfish made this pice that controls carb linkage. It works very well. No slop from worn out holes from years of use. It has full throttle movement. Or click click from idle screw to full throttle stop. Best I can do.
