So what did you do today?

[Vintage Engine Repairs]

What risks? If it leaks then you fix it.

Mostly fatigue cracking, distortion or leaks around the weld over time. I doubt it’s going to explode into orbit, but it is still a modified pressure vessel so I figured it was worth acknowledging before someone pipes up.

It is one hell of a lot less dangerous than guys using PVC...worse CPVC as air lines........yeah that glue will hold

I see zero issues with the repair.

Found a discarded field stone cash and got two tractor crates full home to reinforce the creek bed.
No, the crate is not "full" in those pictures because the weight lifted the front wheels off the ground.

Whhazzup with the circles and triangles on the box? Looks like Curly and Larry were playing a weird sort of tic tac toe.

I have a feeling it is the Croatian version of the SMV emblem.

Either what Bill G said, or some of the late 1960's LSD era decorating and fashion guides have escaped the United States.

After Mom and Grandma had passed, Sis and I dig out some Polyester fabric from the closets that would nearly blind you if you didn't have a fair bit of coffee in ya, before digging things out.
I eventually realized that my neighbors El Salvadorian Grandmothers still liked the stuff. They were up visiting for a few weeks.
I sent a good bit of it home with them when they went back.
Sis just rolled her eyes when I told her that the stuff was getting another chance to dazzle more folks in yet another land!

Just some warning signs to make the crate easier noticeable.
When lifted a bit higher the crate covers/interferes with the tractors rear lights.

Bad idea on these Massey Ferguson copies, it apparently tends to shatter the front axle cradle.

I have been told to get or make wheel weights, usually two half moons per wheel bolted to the rim.
It is supposed to be rather neutral to the cradle load wise.

My tractor PTO powered mulcher also causes the tractors nose to lift off the ground going uphill with the mulcher raised.

Heard that called unsprung weight.

Ok I thought maybe that was something special Croatia requires.

I believe a red reflective triangle should be mounted, but no one has it.

I de-barred all my chainsaws, cleaned up the mess of bar oil that was puddled up on the top chainsaw shelf, layered shop towels down on the shelf, stuffed a rag inside each clutch cover, and organized the saws nicely. Bars and chains are sorted too.

Have you filled the tires with fluid yet?

First winding with Stihl 3.0 line Tecomec 5" spool brush cutter Husqvarna 153R can handle any Stihl line but it has only 2.2 HP and the original T45X spool is even larger

No, not a thing here in Croatia even though the tractor manual says how to do it.

Google search says this is my tractors front axle cradle, not beefy at all.
Cast iron.

Are there any laws in Croatia regarding farm euipment on public roads? Here the SMV (Slow Moving Vehicle) emblem is standard and required. The SMV emblem is the red/orange reflective triangle. The general rule of thumb is they are put on any vehicle or trailed piece of equipment traveling at or under 25 miles per hour. The Amish even have them on their horse drawn buggies. There are also lighted versions.
