how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

The guessers are saying we might get some snow, too.
Best be careful, we're do for a dumper and this is about the time it happens.
I remember about 5 years ago we got 5 or 6 inches inches on May 5th.
Really?
I mean, Really???

Cuz our weather can’t be called anything other than “hostile”...

The heaviest snow is supposed to be up around @67L36Driver and points back to the west, according to the guessers.

I saw this toolbox sitting in my brothers shed & popped it open to look it over & to my surprise it was full of tools. John Deere is running a spring special on loaded boxes. $1500 the box & full sets of standard/metric wrenches,
1/2” standard/metric in shallow/deep & impact in both both standard/metric & shallow/deep
3/8” standard/metric in shallow/deep,
1/4” standard/metric in shallow/deep
ratchets, extensions, screwdrivers & some other misc. stuff. The wrenches hang in the back & the socket tray has shocks & flips up for more storage.
I will try to stop by & get a pic of his loaded up tomorrow.

I don’t think that’s an outrageous price for the box & tools with lifetime warranty.

Good quality tools are not cheap.
I still have Snapon tools from when I was 18 and in trade school.

I couldn’t agree more with you. I really would like to buy one of the loaded Deere boxes but I just bought a new mower & used Gator so I better put the brakes on the spending.

Cheep tools are far more expensive, over time, than quality stuff that cost more up front but lasts forever.

That a truck mount box??
Hell, a good tool box for a service bed ain’t cheap, let alone one full of tools.

Yes, he going to mount it on his flatbed for a second service truck. My nephew & I were unloading seed corn the day I saw it & I told my nephew when that the whole package was probably $3500 or more. Then found out it was $1500, I told him that was a great deal. I was just stunned at the price. Apparently you can get the box in black or green.

I read somewhere that only rich folks can afford to buy cheap tools.

I can’t seem to get my Dad to understand that the cheapest tool isn’t the Best Buy but after stocking my brothers race trailer with Snap-On & Blue Point hand tools & Mac air tools I finally got him to quit buying the cheapest tools he could find for the farm. Dad about chit his britches when my brother bought a new set of metric wrench’s 10 years ago.

Most of our snow melted not much left

 

[Hedgerow]

I just moved the tractor into the shop..

The snow should stay away now..

 

[Dub11]

Snow anyone?

 

[JimBear]

Here’s the pics of the box loaded up & tray flipped up, the pick sets & snap ring pliers were add ons.

I think that box is made by Montezuma and those ratchets appear to be Stanley.

Got some in the Blacksnake Hills.

How about white on white dogwood.

Looks like 2” plus.

I didn’t look that close at the ratchets other than the 3/8 & 1/2 were too short. I am a ratchet snob and only really care for Snap-on & Mac ratchets.

I like the gear wrench 120XP ratchets.

How about a $30 winning bid on a nice metal machinist box? $10 came back from lathe bits and there was a 1/4" thumb ratchet, snap on, retails over $60

my buddy just became a gear wrench dealer this year. Kind of scary going into the truck. A guy can spend a lot in a hurry

Not much different then letting Thomas use something.
