They are illuminated in case someone is driving without lights at night

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.

Here a mixture of water and calcium is used so it doesn’t freeze
Beet juice is used in warmer climates as it doesn’t freeze as quick as water and doesn’t hurt the metal rims.
Antifreeze, RV antifreeze are both options.
It will make a difference till you get wieghts for the wheels

There is no doubt fluid is popular but damn hard on rims, valve stems, etc. Another option is solid filled tires. There are shops here as well as all over that can fill a tire with what is basically liquid foam/rubber. It is heavy as hell but also expensive. The upside is you will never have a flat. Due to the weight and cost it is not practical on low horsepower rear tractor tires but works well on the fronts. We did it to a set years ago.

Buy a few saws and bring them back. The exchange rate is around $0.72.

Flew to south Asia back in the day. First day itinerary was Atlanta to LA to Bangkok. Left Atlanta well after daylight, had a couple of hour layover in LA, weird security stop in Seoul for an hour. Had just gotten dark when we landed in Bangkok.

Your body and mind take days to get adjusted, then it's time to come back and you go through it all again. I am so happy that I don't have to do that any more. Now days, the shift to daylight savings throws me off...

layered shop towels down on the shelf

Something else that works good too, is puppy pee pads - we had a bunch extra so I put them to work under the chainsaws!

My damn "smart...smartass TV" keeps posting commercials telling me I can get adult diapers for free. Dammit I do not need them yet but they might be good packing.

What would a guy/gal think if they got a saw from me packed in Depends?

Probably depends on their sense of humor

 

[pbillyi69]

that's hilarious

i kept the bed pads from when my mother inlaw was passing. they are pretty good for leaky saws and spills

We used to send in the free sample coupons for depends and put my neighbours name and address on it

 

[Sloughfoot]

Ran a brush cutter without a guard in short pants for 6 hours.
Won't do that again.

My first year of teaching the smartass Biology teacher sent my name and school address to a bunch of Russian, Asian, etc bride companies. This was before internet and I kept getting all types of mail at work. He also had a snake in his room and found out I was scared as sheit of them. He would hide a rubber snake in my shop, room, toolbox, worse desk drawer.

PPE is important, had a friend this last weekend was limbing trees on the ground in tennis shoes with his Husky 455 and swiped it across his big toe on his left foot, doctors were able to save the toe, albeit it is now is a chain-link width shorter. I doubt he was wearing chaps either.
