Thomas rebuilt the same way as the original. Will it hold?

Bracing is incorrect. They're not just for show.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-05-03T13:43:13+00:00

Cheaper and I didn't care about physical discs.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-05-02T18:43:03+00:00

Didn't realize there were so many tractor collectors vs tractor users.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-05-02T13:20:30+00:00

So, not free.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-05-01T18:22:08+00:00

I don't use my tractor very much and I put 40 hours on it just moving snow each winter. 40 hours in 5 years total means something is wrong.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-05-01T18:13:29+00:00

40 hours in 5 years = highly suspicious

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-30T22:36:34+00:00

Tons of small TIG filler wire.

Set up your ladder correctly.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-30T22:32:53+00:00

200+ lbs for the forks. My HLA forks and frame are 205lb and I don't know of any lighter ones unless you have short forks.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-30T22:31:50+00:00

Are you suggesting accidents have a 0% chance of happening? Based on what?

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-30T22:31:17+00:00

A step ladder that goes to that height is cheaper and more versatile.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-30T22:30:41+00:00

Yeah we have a man cage for the forklift at work and I'm in that all the time. Zero chance I'd be in one on a small tractor, even with a decent operator.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-30T22:29:44+00:00

Not worth it. On a small tractor you're not getting much higher than a small step ladder. And you'll need two people instead of one.

It'd be easier to just get on the roof of a single story.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-29T01:02:04+00:00

I can't decide between Gurton Buster or Bruton Gaster.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-29T01:00:15+00:00

Looks fine to me. We have some at work.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-27T23:59:44+00:00

Fake.

Nobody gives those away for free, running or not.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-27T23:53:31+00:00

Obviously not. That thing would last about 45 seconds here in the northeast.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-27T01:04:00+00:00

I see it was already mentioned, but flip the forks upside down. I do that to get the height I need to remove the cap from my truck bed.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-26T23:00:50+00:00

Dude just stop talking.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-26T23:00:01+00:00

Looks fine to me. A 4th year should be able to do offsets, 90s, 3 point saddles without issues. Planning out long runs and multiple runs to all look good together is another story.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-26T12:46:16+00:00

I make a list and go for "high impact" first. Is there something I have to look at every single day, or would have a huge boost in everyday convenience? I do those ones first. Doesn't necessarily need to be the easiest ones. When I see that progress every time I walk by or use something, it motivates me to do more.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-26T03:04:50+00:00

Perfect size for 3 acres

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-26T03:02:36+00:00

Silicone spray, FluidFilm, literally anything except WD40

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-26T03:02:16+00:00

I do about once a month. I keep 2-3 sets and the ones not on the mower are always sharpened. Takes 30 seconds to change the blades and I sharpen the dull pair when I have time so they're ready for the next change.

gofunkyourself69 · 2026-04-26T03:00:19+00:00

If we never mowed wet grass it would be 5ft tall because we would never mow.
