That looked like fun!

It was! Momma got pulled away by the baby so no pics of my win.:bash2:

Great pics! Looks like you both had fun!

Duke, I see yur doing a little bump drafting in the last pic.:biggrin2:

Been cutting some trees down and cutting them up for firewood. I had some leaners at the woods edge that had to go. I also had 1 big poplar that I was concerned that if I didn't get it down this year I wouldn't have room to drop it without hitting the house. They grow fast and often fall. I didn't want this monster hitting my house in a few years. Still solid but the work is done. The Rat Rod Super pulled a cart with wood in it off and on all week.

The poplar taken from the 2nd floor balcony. It was about 30" at the base. Dropped at an angle it came within 20' of the elevated deck. Straight it would have been close.

The Super at my much depleted stove wood pile.

This pile is just the Poplar. Around 2 cords. Not much good for the woodstove, but I have plenty of firewood for campfires this year! They oher trees were good firewood. Oaks, cherry,ect. Different pile.

Nice work on the wood pile squatch

What Diz said!

Thank you! The ol' 1872 sure saved my achin' ol' bones a lot of carrying work.

It was so much fun we had to do it again today!:biggrin2:

Momma thought I did the bump and run and I got a ear full and glad I didn't get kicked in the rear! Evan loves racing when it's jsut turning dark so he can run with the lights on. Makes it hard for pics tho!:bash2:

Squatch my dad used to sell fire wood for years every time we got into a poplar we split it and it was fine to burn with. They are so wet they will rot from the inside out.:bash2:

Awesome pics too!

I plowed some gardens in the hood today. I didn't take one pic of me plowing as my wonderful wife was going to take some for me but she didn't.:bash2:

I did get to doing the decals on my box blade and I took some pics! Here's a teaser pic!

I'll update the box blade pic with more pics as well.

The box blade looks good with the new decal Methos :beerchug:

That's almost too pretty to drag around behind your tractors Duke!

John

Thanks, Yeah it will burn fine when it's seasoned. Just burns up so fast it's like throwing balsa wood in the stove.

Thanks Diz!

That means I can do it again when I wear them off!:biggrin2:


Bad news on the International decal, I can't get the paper off the top of the letters and the I and A don't want to stick.:bash2: I've got a IH number for the decal so going to try and track one down or call and have one made local.

Box blade is looking good, Duke!

Thanks Allen!

Although no pics I did reinstall the mower truck and finally the mower itself in prep of picking up overwinter debris around the neighborhood.

Methos cool drag racing pics. I cant wate untill my little boy is big enough to drive one by him self:biggrin2:

Mowed the yard with the 1450 today.

I also mowed some grass yesterday. Its so much better mowing with a real Cub Cadet.

Thanks for the pics, guys! It's time to mow here, as well.

Thanks! Becareful my son claims all of the tractors as his. He'll let me keep the gear drives but I don't have any gear drives! The little stinker rock paper scissored me out of my FEL!:bash2:

Great pictures, guys! :beerchug:




Sunday, I sharpened the blades, and put the 50C deck on the 1512. Monday I mowed with it for the first time..Gotta love the power, and the smell of an ol' smoker! :biggrin2:

You got that right!

I changed the oil, filter on the BRS and sharpened up the 50C deck blades and mowed for the first time yesterday. It was a good day. :beerchug:

I also cut grass for the first time today. I wish the 128 was working or would have used it but i used the 1812 it does a great job with the 46GT deck.

The smoker is looking good, Conner!

Conner and DWayne glad you two got some time on the smokers even if it was maint. time.:biggrin2:

I was able to get the tiller on the 1650 tonight and was able to break up the clumps in the gardens. I'll need to come back over them to get them more fine but this was good pratice run for the 1650. The 1650 was a dream to till with and I was able to get a couple pics to share with you all.

Half way thru pic it's still to clumpy but some more seat time will cure that!:biggrin2:

Attachment 22535

Looks good Methos :ThumbsUp:

The tiller job is looking great Duke. Think I may try some discing on the tomato plot today. Rain supposed to set in late tonight.

Thanks Diz!

Thanks DWayne! I'll end up going over the gardens again. Have fun using the disc set before the rain comes again.:beerchug:

Great pics, Duke!

I put the new muffler on the 125.

Thanks Allen!

Doug the muffler looks good! :beerchug:

Well I did hook up the disc this morning and got some plowing done, but it was ugly. Still way too wet. I've got to build some rear disc scrapers eventually to keep the wet packed dirt from building up. I had better luck working on my nephew's 73 hood today. :beerchug:

I could see that being useful! Maybe you'll get a dry patch in here soon so you can get back to playing. The hood looks goot too!

The muffler looks good, Doug!

I'm liking that new stack!

I removed the 4 corner bolts in the cab of my 1872 and replaced them with 1/4" eye bolts. Now instead using ratchet straps through the doors with my engine hoist. I can make a cross of light chain and lift it on and off of the tractor with the engine hoist. Should be a lot less hassle. Going to have to remove it soon as I'll probably have to mow next week for the 1st time.

The eye bolts will be left in place.

Very sweet! Way to use the old hat rack!:beerchug:
