Good morning, happy Saturday. 53 now and staying all day - rain coming later, turning to snow tomorrow through Monday morning.. 4-7” coming they say, even after figuring that some will melt as it falls at first. Going to get wild again!

Good morning men.

damn gophers started waking up last week, I got a couple of em yesterday, my goal for today is to get a couple more, I'm getting an early start this year in hopes of actually getting rid of all of them.

Good luck, my neighbor always says, "I bet you can't get them all"!

Good morning fellas.

Have a hen that’s all the sudden obsessed with trying to fly up on anything over 4-6 ft. Came out and it was walking over the hood of my truck yesterday, flew into the reflection of the porch window as well, now it’s eyeing up my tractor probably thinking that the top of the cab is a good looking spot. Good thing it didn’t start doing this with my camaro parked outside.

Trim one wings feathers and that will stop.

Yes those extended flight feathers, I’ve already been watching a couple YouTube videos on that, seems pretty simple might do that

So having admitted owning an anchor and spring around the corner I’ve started shopping for another hole to dump all my spare $$ in to…

Thinking about something like this as a first boat? @Stevetheboatguy any thoughts?

Looked at the ad and images. Things that were noticed is the lower unit being scrubbed clean, suspect that it may have issues with a prop shaft not being straight, or that has been repaired, could have other related issues with the low water level operation. Also since that paint is gone, how is the gelcoat underneath at the vee.

Now Four Winns can be very nice boats and ride nice. In the states that would be a very premium price for a 26 yo boat/motor. And I did take into account the differences in currency values.

I've bent 2 prop shafts on my current cruising boat. First time it was brought in to replace, second time I learned to do it myself. Not a low cost repair. I was lucky with the prop, at least one time. Stainless are spendy to repair.

Can not believe this truck sold for that much.

So much more cooler classics to buy with 50k or way less.

No sir.

 

[Boogerman61*]

Thanks, I just posted a thread asking some questions about that type crank. maybe I will get some good responses.

I've torn down an ever loving *s-word_load of engines in my life.....but I've never seen anything like this before.

Standard dished piston. Nothing special except for the remarkable condition.



There are 7 like the one above, and one like this.



Seems someone allowed this one to bypass a machining process....

The weight is gonna be quite a lot different on this piston than the other 7.

 

[Boogerman61*]

Which one is the original the 1 or the 7. I would have expected a better finish on the ones that were ground down.
But then again I came from the aviation industry. What did these come out of? Not a chainsaw.

All 8 are original GM standard bore 5.7 liter pistons from the same engine.

Check this out a friend of mine mods saws and chains. This is one of his saws, a mile away.
Ooops no MP4's.
