looks like spring has sprung

everyone is busy

be well

Noticed it was pretty quiet here.

Really cant do much up here yet. Now that the snow is mostly gone, gotta be careful for the next month cause the ground is starting to thaw.

Did try putting my walker down pipe on my truck, found out I have to do some messaging to make it fit though, cant do that till I move the truck up to the cement pad and get some acetylene.

Yah, just running. Went to a ridiculously overpriced sale yesterday. Took all of 20 minutes to walk around and RUN away. Stopped by a guy's house on the way back and scored a front truck for my McCormick Binder that I've been hunting for. Gonna call him back today on a New Idea side delivery rake and an IHC horsedrawn shit spreader as well as a bunch of other small stuff he had laying around.

sounds like a good find

Worked on my Cougar today. Changed out the riders side lower control arm. Took care of a LOT of steering issues.

Still have to change the drivers side, but it was getting windy from the north and cold.

I can tell Im getting older, cant take the cold like I used to.

Ya shoulda said something John I have two front trucks for IH binders and mowers! I need a set of transport wheels for my McCormick binder. If you need some IH horse drawn manure spreader parts let me know there is one in the junk pile I bought that doesn't look complete.

Damn, wish I'd have known that Lance! I do need the triangle brackets that hold the beater bars on the upper reel of the spreader. Both are broken on the one I just bought. As for transport wheels for the binder, we're looking for some too. This guy had some, and they had been clamped to a wooden beam to make a full length axel for something else...so he threw them in a fire to burn the wood off so that it would be easier to scrap. Ohwell.... day late, as usual. The fire was still smoking when we were there, and it had gotten plenty hot, so I guess they're toast.... and besides, they had the wrong wheels, so we're still looking. I'll keep my eyes out anyhow.
The dog's sick today, and it's pouring, so doesn't sound like I'm headed down to pick it all up until tomorrow.

c'mon Lance-----ya gotta keep up with this stuff-----sheesh--whaddya tink we keep ya round 4

We're looking for a horse drawn shit spreader too. Sis is wanting something to keep the Frisans exercised. I was going to start restoring the IH dosc and it seems someone needed the tongue worse than me. Probably my nephew. Now I have to find another one.
My picking bud has an extra Harley so I got to go for a putt yesterday. We rode up to Deadwood and had a sody pop and a good cigar, about a 50 mile ride. I was a little shakey at first, ain't rode much in years. The bike was a 2003 Heritage soft tail, 2 into one Vance and Hines pipes sounded real sweet. It was fun but these old guys ride too slow, I hate having cars pass me all the time.

We drug home the spreader and the New Idea rake yesterday.... got home about 7pm and it started to snow....now we have about 3" of new stuff. I'll throw some pics up as we unload.

We're supposed to get some tonight. Maybe 2 feet up higher, probably just a few inches here.
