Today I had to replace a carb on the old 702 and decided to put on the grader blade even though it isn’t finished and had to try it out and of course when I was done the kids wanted to go for a tub ride

We just stopped at the Iowa 80 truck stop. Place is unbelievably huge! No wonder it’s known as the World's Largest Truck Stop!!

Happy Birthday Stevasaurus! Hope you have a great day today! You are a big reason that the old guys (and tractor transmissions) are staying alive! it’s a good thing you came from good stock!

Anyone use one of these? Picked it up cheap about a month ago and making some changes to it. Just welded the frame (it was bolted with pipe) and about to add a linear actuator for dump mechanism. Wonder how much fabrication it would take to attach it to the front?

Had a phone call from Liam, No1 grandson with the navy in Cyprus. Seems like we're going to be great grandparents Really made up for him and Jemma his wife. Only seems like five minutes ago he was helping wash my Yamaha FZR 1000, with a feather at just over a year old.

Too new and useful for my collection

Started our return trip home today after visiting Farmall-Land tractor museum. We’re still in Iowa and will probably spend the night. We’ve seen some beautiful territory and Emory is even coming home with a 702 of his own!

For all the strength and prosperity you've contributed to our country...I say to you...Happy Labor Day 2020 RedSquare!

Grey is a 1957 red no hood is also a 1957 and finally the 1956 going to be taking the seat from the no hood 57 and put on the grey one considering maybe parting the 57 no hood but up in the air on it just wanted to show my haul

Here in Maine it's the official beginning of "Locals get the roads back" season.

Do you guys put Blankets on the Horses the way I do, or am I just some rare HORSE FANATIC that has to put his Horses to sleep nightly after use

Sure....If you have a name for your tractor, please contact 19richie66 for a Motorcycle plate. He does wonderful drawings, the son does incredible welding....HES A PROFESSIONAL . They take scrap and transform it into your nameplate for your Horse. I want a comission....Not Really.....hehehehe

My next door neighbor had his driveway paved the other day. He asked me if I would like all of the #57 stone that they would have to remove. Of course I said yes. So the crew scraped up all 125 x 12 linear feet of stone and delivered it to my new pole building. That's a lot of stone. I estimated it to be at least 12 tons. So I gassed up the 416-H and spent the rest of the day spreading it around.

If you use the hood as a welding table like @WHX24, you might catch the blankies on fire!

Pretty often I need to dispose of scrap wood that I always save . Kind of bored with birdhouses so now I decided to make these until the stock runs out. Let’s me use up also the cutoffs from closet Ike’s from previous jobs.

Happy Happy Steve!

Happy Birthday Steve! You have done so much to make this community an even better place. it’s not often that you get to be in one picture twice😂 Have a great day my friend—hope to see you sometime soon!

The cat kept an eye on everything

Happy Birthday @stevasaurus, we are all glad you were born!

Scoop totes predate the Johnny bucket by a long time, found pics and ads going way back

Decided to clean out and reorganize the back shop. Moved out all the rakes, shovels and misc lawn tools to access the 48'' dozer blade that I bought new in 1991. This blade was used for 10 years and then stored once I bought the 44'' 2 stage blower. Did not plan to do anything other than wash it but once I got it outside and with a beautiful day to paint I decided to touch it up a bit. Removed the original cutting edge which looks like I can flip it and use the other edge for some time. Decided to paint the front and the bottom of the back for now as I am just about done painting for this year. I did find a NOS cutting edge also that I bought with the blade but have not needed it yet. When Patti came home from work I wanted her to see what I had done, she laughed when she saw 6 tractors parked in there and I asked her which was her favorite out of the 520,420, 418,417,312 or the 1977 C- 120 with the WD 40 finish and guess which one she picked, the C-120 and I asked why ? She said she likes the old look of the paint. I told her I did also and hopefully you may see more of that look next Saturday.

Trina, Meeha, 2 of our close friends and I went on our first backpacking trip. Trina and I have done many many mountain hikes but always from a base camp. Yesterday we left right from the house to hike about a mile up the road to the trailhead. We climbed Bill Merrill Mt. Trina and our friend Jen went about scouting the forest for a campsite then we all Set up camp. Relaxed a bit and had a meal. This morning we woke and had coffee then broke camp and came home. A wonderful experience. The weather was lovely. The company was the best there is.

Well unfortunately here I have to quit bworking on my charger build and do some domestic home improvements!! getting it ready to put on some green tin! Then comes the hammock !! I can lay back in the hammock and stare down my shed with all the red!! Ahhh!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE. All the Best Old Lad. Wishing you a good day.

Saw this at a filling station and had to grab some pics. Guy had a tub on the back and was filling his gas cans. Looks to be a simplecityfranken landlord ... claimed the wheel weights went 150 lbs each!

This one just turned thirty years old.... 1990 S10.... this was a father son project that sat for many years unfinished after my son passed in 2005....last year I decided I needed to rearrange to make room for some new Horse purchases and finished it up, bittersweet but glad I did it.... my son's plan was a booming big block but since I am closing in a whole lot more years than him I slipped a 283 in so I could basically use the stock throttle body - the 6 cylinder 4.3 (267 CI) was so close it seemed like it should work fine... and it does. But the 283 SOUNDS so much better and has plenty of power for cruising the Cape occasionally. At 74 I still autocross occasionally ..since this is basically a Camaro with a square body thought it might be fun to make it go around corners....but that's for next year.

Scored some new toys for the horsies today. ST-326 blower, seems to be complete except the chute adjustment cable, everything but the gauge wheels moves freely, $75. 42 inch deck, complete with mule drive and PTO belt, missing spindle belt and needs blades, $150. $225 out the door.

Happy Labor Day to all. Got out the two wheeler and went for a 120 mile ride in Northeast Ct. with my dad, some nice country roads up that way. After we parted ways I kinda still wanted to ride so headed towards the Ct River to a couple spots to watch boats pass by (could do that for hours )..then chose a huge loop to get back home. 205 miles total today.

Used the aerator on the lawn today with the Suburban. First time I've pulled anything with the 79cc Predator. It did great!

Some artist in Chilliwhack BC did a few huge metal sculptures of dragons made from titanium, careful heating of the metal made colourful oxides. I'll have to see if Pat still has the pictures i sent her from BC, these were awesome creations.

‘’HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE !

Congrats on being great! I recall we made my MIL a Grandmother at 50, she was not very excited about the age thing!

Congrats Norm. Old saying is: You're only as old as you feel. I'm 5 in the mind for sure. Physical age depends on many variables.

Thank You all for the Great Birthday Wishes. Doing a big Prime Rib Roast today, and it is just beautiful outside today. It's going to be a good one.

A scratch awl is too sharp and would stick every time you struck it. My preferred method is with a large nail with point ground a certain shape. I use that along with a tiny jewelers hammer so as to keep depths uniform. I have also specially made stamps but I don’t like the outcome since the shape of stamp is always noticeable. Stippling needs to be absolutely random in order to look good.i used this same two nails for the last 30 years.

On a recent trip through cheese country seen these at a couple HD shops. Pretty cool.

I’d be honored to ride on the back with John... but I didn’t think my chest is that developed to be sculpted as such!

That picture must be a few years older than dirt like @stevasaurus I’ve never seen Hot Wheels with a s/g sticking out the side! Happy Birthday, Buddy!

Happy Labor Day Gang! Thanks for all that your hard work does to profit your families, communities, states, and ultimately our country! As the old proverb says, “In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.” We enjoyed a day at the pontiac car show with three generations of Stertz boys driving GTO’s... Tomorrow, I need to install my new Diamond Eye exhaust on the Excursion, then it is time to measure up the house and garage roof for standing seam roof steel. That will be a project for about two weeks from now... Have a great day!

Nice haul Tom!! Wife & I are having a staycation this weekend. But ya I'm a bit tractor heavy. Jim may be tractor heavy, but he still would have been all over that haul if he wasn't dedicating this weekend to score some Joe Exotic underwear before supplies are gone.

Took the 1075 and 1467 out today for a ride around the block to test out the semi-finished road.

You can haul a lot more when their hollow....

Nice weather today, put 8 out on display today. Alot of people stopped and took pictures.

Hope everyone has a good day off tomorrow! I spent today putting EFI on a Corvair, and then changed the starter and fuel pump on my dad's '71 RS Camaro.. Tomorrow I'm off work but I'm heading to a friends house to see if we can get either of the two Porsche 928's he just bought running. It's not work if you're having fun, right?!

Nice score !! Love the headlights on it. Mine sat in a garage unused for decades. Rebuilt the carb, flushed and repaired the gas tank, new solenoid and it runs like a swiss watch.
