OldWorkHorse 3,045 #9827 Posted March 20, 2021 Got the front bumper/hitch done on the 1257H today but still need to weld sum reinforcements to the corners but need thicker sheet steel for that. So another day. 5 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuneup 1,433 #9828 Posted March 20, 2021 (edited) Lined up my 20 gallons of washer fluid. 11 are pinkish and 9 purple. Both Wally World and both -25. Whatever. Right rear got pink. Gravity feed from a 4" PVC end cap and tap. I used a trailer strap to squeeze out air and released it. Sucked it all in. 71/2 gallons - about 45 minutes. The left had a tube so I found out something new today. Figured it would be tougher but, no. Took less time and one less gallon. At 8 lbs/gallon, the old 516 will stick to the downhills nicely now and the Eaton doesn't seem to mind. Still wheelies.

I haven't played with welding since freshman year in high school - 1977...moving the puddle along. Practice first. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Poulan that was a hot mess of vibration and poor running was finally put aside. I gave it a good 15 years of my frustration. This is a 5 in 1 tool - trimmer, edger, brush cutter, hedge trimmer and chain saw. I've used all but the edger and chain saw and like it lots. Almost no vibration. Comes with a harness, too. You have to search hard for the 5:1. The 4:1 always comes up. Home Depot had the best ship to store price. I'm shopping a saw blade for it - will work better than that 4 blade cutter - got saplings to shred. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My grandparents, out of Raritan, used to take us to Dukes back in the day. Cousins down near Princeton. Great place to grow-up in the 60s and 70s.

haydendavid380 759 #9848 Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) My work bench was a little cluttered and a cluttered bench makes it difficult to work on horses. Wife said I might as well clean and organize the garage. Spent the afternoon on the garage and my bench now has more stuff on it than when I started. I'm convinced I can squeeze another tractor in there now though, so the jokes on her 🤣 Edited March 21, 2021 by haydendavid380 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
