Looks like a guy could lose a few fingers or worse runnin' that shake shingle saw!

Sh*t. I just saw this picture. I might have thought about it.



Local dude has this next thing for sale. Some 43 years old, and he wants $1900 for it. Seems underpowered, at 16 HP, for pushing snow on my driveway and knocking down groundhog mounds. I can't see this being very effective on my driveway-from-Hell. All the hydraulics work, and it comes with a belly mower. I'm walking away, unless one of you guys think it's the steal of the century.

It's your own damn fault, Pete! You need to check in more often. How the hell else are we gonna keep tabs on you?

Is the rather statuesque young lady still driving steam engines around R&T ?

Nothing special about this subject of this picture. I just like it for the combination of colors. Screams "Autumn".

Not too many pictures you can also hear and smell.

Yup! And, that just smells........................good!

I put these two pictures from R&T on a tractor forum that I frequent, and I put them on the 'Farmall' page.
Wayne will enjoy some of the comments...






(From Dave S) "That poor old H would end up doing all of the work if they were hooked to a plow or something."

(From John M) " Saves the need for having a chain to pull the JD around."

(From J Nicholson) "I took it back to the dealer because it always pulls to the right."

(From Tom F) "Brings new meaning to 'mixed marriage'."

(From Gordo SD) "Kim Davis wouldn't give you a license for it."

Here is something you wont see every day. Over the weekend i was able to buy a few N.O.S. 2 man crosscut saws. Atkins felling saws. usually when you see a saw like this it is rusty and missing teeth. I found these covered in pitch and wrapped in paper. friggin unbelievable.

Atkins felling saws.

Now you have your health club dues all paid up - just need handles and off you go! Beats felling trees with a herring,

But, personally I'll stay with this:

And I take a welcome lesson in real-world weathering of Pete's trailer. Duly cropped and saved. Now, how to model those rolls, I can't imagine, at least, not just yet. Anybody have any ideas about that? I don't even know whether to call them hay, grass, or straw (!)

Maybe that's one best solved by taking a stroll through the aisles at Michaels looking through the flower arranging section.........

Glad to see you didn't wait on me to get that wood-pile put together. Like my seventh-grade math teacher, appears well stacked.

I've got enough logs in the backyard here in VA to double the woodpile - might actually get into that Sat. if the weather holds decently.

Just cutting up that boxwood probably added an evening's worth of wood, except its green as can be....mix that up with a little good dry locust and oak...

demented clown, chainsaws are for murderers and jugglers on unicycles. these 3 saws i got are what some would call investment quality. Still in the factory paper. Never filed or tuned up. I'll but the on ebay and the lumbermen will go crazy (i hope) I have used a misery whip a few times. If you have one set up wrong it's no fun. If it's set right for the wood your cutting. The saw will sing while you cut away.
Now this bats a chainsaw any day

Good for scaring the neighbors here in suburbia, too!

And, for cutting firewood - been using one for close to 50 years....but I still like a pole axe and a striking hammer with 3 wedges for a good workout.

Like those demented tool collectors that pay $250+ for a handsaw to look and never actually use? Those dipwad clowns??? If you can take advantage of those sorts and pocket their money, I'm all for it.

Let me set you up with some good black locust.............. We had a 30" circular saw set in a big mandrel with av-belt off my Model F cub for cutting wood - a good 10-14" bit of black locust would make smoke come off that blade and stall the tractor. But, you would be warm by the fireplace later...when the snows came down
