OK, Here We Go

I got to thinking this morning that the forklift is no good unless it's on blacktop and I want to be able to move stuff around all the time so it doesn't get all grown up out back like it was. Granted the vehicles can be sold but the trailers need to be moved around even if they are emptied. Now I have an easy way to move trailers quick, just pull right up to it, hit the raise lever, move it then hit the lower lever.

I'll prob cut the swivels off of the outer arms tomorrow morning and drill them for the receiver so it can be moved around, 1 pin and it just slips off. Later I can add some other mods and use it for a lot of things, especially if the forklift is tied up or I have to go off road. [/quote

Get Idea! Taryl Fixes All did one to move his lawn tractors around. He is a hoot! (note not his hair and teeth)

I've seen some of his vids before, he's a hoot lol. :rolling

If you guys are following the sale it has developed a life of it's own. I'm getting more excited with everything that gets sold, cleaned and organized.

There is more Fastenal stuff on the way, the DM told me a few days ago they are consolidating 2 more big stores and I think I will have more than I need after this round.

Every morning when I come out here I want more and more of my space back and am ready to see the new WHS 2.0 kick into gear. I better get moving a little faster though, 4 peeps called wanting restores this week already, on top of the huge waiting list. All I can say is God is good.

"Its a mower not the space shuttle"

There's something I say to myself a lot when I restore a tractor, "It's a tractor not a Lamborghini".

Yesterday I thought I would finish up but a ton of waspies showed up when I moved one, this was about 12:30 and they were still flying around at 6pm. I thought this is weird, they're spending time in and out of the 3 last tractors, I thought maybe they're lost lol. This morning early it was really too warm (low of 72 last night) but I thought I need to open the hoods on the last 3, when I opened the first one I got cold chills and all of my hair stood up as I took off.

I spent about 3 hours this morning between me chasing them and them chasing me but I think I got them all. I got a pic of the nest in a C-160 that I opened up first thing this morning, the other 2 520's I think they built under the battery tray. I'm using LD44Z that is a fogger in a can and it usually gets in those tough spots. There's been no wasp sign this afternoon so that's good.

1 workbench has been cleaned and reclaimed and I got rid of the catch all shelving I had on it. Everything is getting a spot in the new Fastenal bins and shelves to declutter the place, and so I can find it.

The old lathe is cleaned up and ready to sell, I mopped where it was and made a clean spot, then noticed the floor is a little red all over, oh well I need more to do anyway... It sure looks different but it also looks the way I used to keep it years ago. :smile2

Those are 2 of the 5 - 520's getting parted out that have blown engines.

I forgot ask you when I was down there if you had a WH snow mobile. Damn I wish I had a chance to see that. You should do your magic on that one!
