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

Picked up a 3 point post hole auger for the Ferguson today. Advertised with an 8 inch auger bit. Turns out that, not only the 8 inch but also a 12 inch. $300. Made my day.

Also, been working on converting the Ferguson over to 12 volt system. Son and I made the alternator mounts. Got it installed. Battery and cables installed. Just need to finish the ignition system and wire up the alternator.
Jumped across the solenoid and the engine spins great. Even in the right direction.

I consumed the contents, then made a new batch..
I fit 10 eggs in there.

I love me some pickled eggs....especially the spicy variety.

 

[Jetmd]

what kind of jack are you using to lift the trailer? Or did you just use your right foot?

Normally I use a Hi-Lift Jack.

But in this case I just used the factory jack that came with my RAM.

Milwaukee cordless impact and a Cresent wrench to straighten the fender and off we go.

Stop by the DMV and see about replacing the license plate as it didn’t fair well.

If it's in decent condition that's a very good buy.

I am leery of pickled eggs. I have had some that were fantastic, and i have had some duds; the duds keep me away. Too many cheaper ways to eat an egg. @Deets066 made the best pickled eggs I have tried.

Wood miser is having a sale on LT 35 Mills right now. What have you heard about the 24 hp Yan Marr diesel variant on the LT 35?

Not much....but generally I have good respect for yanmar engines.
I don't know if it'd be much faster than the 25hp gas, but probably somewhat...I'd think.

That's a good price they're offering.....the sawing experience with that mill would be light years ahead of your old LT15.

I’m just thinking of the rpm variance through the wood.
Diesel torque keeps it to a minimum. Just worried about the weight difference on the post.

Got the old Ferguson up and running again. It starts with authority now.

Good question.
I guess I'd just assume the engineers figure it's good to go.
The single post head design is something that I wonder about on the lt35, I have first hand experience with the two-post heads only.

Good deal!
How many engine revolutions before she fires off? those are known to start with almost no cranking....usually.

My first hand experience with Yanmar diesel’s have been awe inspiring.

Both in skid loaders from the old days and compact tractors with them.

John Deere still uses them in some of their garden tractors.

Fuel efficiency and reliability are great.

 

[Jetmd]

I have no experience with them in marine use but my friends speak highly of them.

Yanmar diesel is the best small diesel I've ever been in id put them up against a Cummins even. they are bullet proof. way over built and built for efficiency. if it is a mechanical motor i can turn the fuel up on them I've done that to several of the Yanmar tractors iv had turned up the 19 hp to prlly close to 30 hp she made power for sure. i wouldn't hesitate on anything with a Yanmar

The 24 is a mechanical I believe.. and no emissions junk. Being that small..
