    Southwest Ohio Mowrons

    I saw the missed area also when I was leaving. The equipment was already secured. That's what can happen when there are 3 mowers running around the property. Easy to miss a section.

    Air Ride Seat base/platform

    I replaced the spring on the original seat base with a bag from a Bostrom seat. Had to weld pieces of flat stock to retain the bag. Ran a tee from the parking brake air line to supply the bag. The seat is from a HMMWV. I love it.

    Official 2014 SS Georgia Rally Info SSGR14 thread

    Wow!! I love what you have done with the yard. Looks great. I guess it just goes to show what happens when you rid the property of all of those pesky deuce and a halves.

    Can't get steering knuckle off...

    Kroil is good stuff. If you want something far better, mix up equal measures of acetone and automatic transmission fluid into a squirt style oil can. You will be amazed at the penetrating power of said mixture.

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    And what would you use to drag a tank backwards???? A Case quad trax tractor is just the thing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmjaaSGqTX0#t=93

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    It would be easier to pull a static dozer from the side than from the front. Think of the cleats on the dozer tracks. From the side, they are facing the direction you would be pulling, thus there would be less resistance. from front or rear, the cleats are perpendicular to the direction of...

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    You are the wiser one. To not risk damage. I felt a little better knowing there were two tow bars at the ready.

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    Yes indeed let me know. I don't hear too much about these events. You are the best source.

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    As you well know, that type of thing was really bothering me the whole evening. I am not trying to be a d#@$, I just always think worst case scenario and have a huge concern of safety.

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    Buddy, I was certainly thinking of you. These hopped up diesel trucks are insane. They even had a gasser class. One truck had a Steve Schmidt mountain motor. It didn't roll the coal, but a screaming mountain motor is sweet music to my ears. I was pretty fired up the whole evening. Had a great...

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    I was thinking about an obstacle course type layout. Not so much hills and the like, but slalom turns, precision backing, stopping the front bumper as close as possible to a set point, running over aluminum cans to see how many you could crush with out missing any. But the wreckers could not...

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    Right before the run, a lovely young lady asked to ride. Gimpy was supposed to be recording inside the cab, but I have not seen any evidence.

    Trying M813s and M939s at Tractor pulls

    That was the first time I have ever hooked anything to a pulling sled. I made a rookie mistake. I approached the sled and backed with the transfer case in high range. Got hooked, and put the case in low. When I shifted the transmission into gear, dummy me put it in 5th and let it shift on its...

    Show Off Your Bed Crane

    I am still searching for an NGP knuckle boom for my 932.

    Deuce was dead on side of the road.

    I will bring my Milwaukee M18 tool set. It includes a 1/2" impact that takes the lug nuts off my M932 with ease.
