Moved some snow with the John Deere 3039r and ariens snowblower at work today. Then groomed the trails with the John Deere Gator and cut some small fallen trees with the Black and Decker battery saw. I was successful in acquiring a new auger belt for my dad's mtd snowblower today. Also took my truck to the carwash, did the self serve after the automated, since the truck sat in the woods before I got it and I haven't pressure washer it or taken it to a self serve before all the black junk and algae finally came off, probably the best the truck has looked in 5 years. When I got home I rode our ATVs and my snowmobile, found a tree fallen on one of my trails so used my Husqvarna 55 Rancher to take care of that.
The rust holes must make it easy to wash both sides at the same time. Lol

Did you straightening the conrod?
Looks perfect to me, good job buddy!
I thought about straightening it but there is a fair amount of missing steel in the connector. Rod bearing is good.
Blew a pinky sized hole in the bottom of the crankcase :p
Case is otherwise in fantastic shape so I’ll weld up the hole, machine the inside as needed, lap the halves and replace the bearings…even though they seem to have survived.

Morning slackers. It’s another Friday here on vacation. Breakfast was eggs of your choice with ham steak and hash browns. Boat leaves at 10 am for some in shore fishing. Wind has finally dropped so the pool and patio will be enjoyable today. Let’s make ope great again and bring back the lead slacker.

Good morning guys,

I'm going to continue with the chainsaw projects a bit today, clean up that mess a bit too, one day the missing parts will have to pop up.

My cousin's wife, my neighbor, has breast cancer, already had surgery but will have to go on chemo going forward, we're going to pitch in and help them with whatever they need help with.
