echris 1,425 #6888 Posted October 5, 2020 Sunday I had the first chance to try out my WH mulching leaves. I don't have a recycler, just a standard 42" SD, but was happily surprised by how well it did. Without a mulching cover, it took quite a few more passes, but the leaves are gone. For now. And of course, when I was done, I parked her in the side yard and gave her a good cleaning with the air gun. Ain't she purty? Even for a "new" one? 4 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're lucky we had a 3/8" drive socket set to share. I learned how to use a tire machine when I was a junior in high school. Since getting married, both father in-laws (one step) had one too. When Grandpa decided to sell his, I knew just what to do! I have been able to break down as small as 10” wheels with it, but cannot change 20” monsters like some modern vehicles come stock with. For the most part though, it does everything I need in the shop! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,916 #6890 Posted October 6, 2020 I don’t have a hub puller for 4 lug hubs... yet. I will utilize the head bolts from a recent Duramax project.. they fit through the hub holes just dandy! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
balconio 606 #6891 Posted October 6, 2020 a 4x8 Harbor Freight utility trailer is the PEFECT match to a wheel horse. it's narrow enough to fit down my trails, carries a ton of weight and volume with the plywood sides on, and makes the ideal hayride vehicle. so far we've had 5 people max in the trailer, and found the smoothest ride is up front, so that's where grandma and grandpa sit when we hit the trails. Camping: All the toys out: Hauling lots of branches away to the burn pile: We've been using it so much that it gets a parking spot right up by the cars: 9 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
