My buddy took his first Bear ever from one of our stands this evening! He got a young boar weighing 214 lbs with perfect shot placement through the heart & both lungs. The Bear did two somersaults and ran 30 feet before piling up... We're celebrating big tonight!

Here is my son's 4 month old German Shorthair with his first grouse.

this has to be one in a million ...

Wicked retro! This was my view last week while I was in bush. Seen 1 spiker & 1... no idea as it was a blur white tail.. tons of wolves howling every nite.

Just in case anyone else has this problem, its my 2nd time around. Oxygen sensor is gone again. I replaced it about 2 years ago, but I don't know if it got replaced with the updated part or a new old part. Old o2 part 36531-hr3-a21 New o2 part 36531-hr3-a22 Only lasted maybe 20 miles/2 years. I only use the atv for deer season. Will let ya know how it goes.

I've been splitting some firewood over the last week and putting it in the barn. I thought I'd get through with all I have on the ground but it's raining today. I have enough wood in there for this winter, next winter and part of winter after that. Here's a picture of my tractor and splitter.

well this project came to a speeding halt !. here's a couple pic's, one is the underside of the head, other is the carb. the carb is toasted !!. crank is shot from bad rod. and catfish does not want to spend the cash to replace all the important parts, sooo..now i stop working on it. just a reminder to all you mud and water riders ?..this is what happens when you go deep !!!!!.

I have pretty much the same stove in the basement! Shouldnt be needing it for a bit as its been warm, even over night, last night 64f 👌

I found this old stove at a very old logging camp site. Found it disassembled laying in the grass. Missing legs, the top insert and the draft pan. Really cool looking. Took 6 years to have a good enough freeze without a ton of snow to get it out. Assembled it this summer. Besides the design the only marking on it is New King No. 36. Can't find anyone who knows anything about the company that made it.

Nice. I picked up a couple of Bushnell Bone Collector Rangefinders on WM closeout. Tried to flip them on facebook and they got flagged as "weapons". Stupid facebook commies.

I'll be in the same shape after this week. Only burn at the hunting shack. Added on to the wood shed and will get it full. Nice to be ahead of the game. Starting Friday it will get run most of 10 days.

oh sheesh ... that's why.... we alway ran stud pilots in sted of hub pilot ... if the outer lugs come off, then you chance loosing the outer dual... then you still have the inner dual ... i never had that happen , not even one wheel coming off. hub pilot are worse about getting loose ... when you loose the lugs you chance loosing both wheels .. and a chance of the drum coming off ... so that 3 separate parts .. verses ..one ...

Yeah maybe only 2-3mm of adjustment though. The blades are replaceable, the shear bar is part of the main frame so you'd probably have to cut it out to replace it.

Active ingredient is citric acid and you can get pure crystals for cheap. Juice works good but not as well as mixture of soap/degreaser and acid. Strain it first if you try it lol

This is for poly bushings but you might find it interesting if you want to dive into grease vs grease further.

That white stuff looks " ALIVE " , alien fungi ----- I'd wash my hands really good if I accidentally touched it , LOL

Ah I get you now, there's no adjustment as far as I know, apart from the 3x holes through the blades being slightly bigger than the bolts that hold them in place. I must compare the old blades in width to the new ones out of interest as I'd say they will need replacing around the 100 hour mark.

I agree it’s not clear in this illustration but the preceeding illustration says to use moly grease. Knowing it’s not a ball bearing, thats what I would use. or you could use “grease” as in GP grease—i think that’s intent anyway

Here’s the page from my 08 Foreman it’s pretty specific. There are flags in the illustrations showing exactly what compound to use. Very helpful what I appreciate most is — there’s no single grease you can buy that will work on suspension, brakes, bearings, ES and EPS systems.

Walmart has Deep Creep and Berryman Chemtool I don’t soak my carbs or boil them. i spray them down with Deep Creep and brush off all the outside dirt. Don’t spray them with cleaner yet cause you could ruin some parts. Then i disassemble them—inspect condition of every part. Sometimes you will find the proBlem like incorrectly assembled pilot screw or chunks in jets. Also remove the primer pump. completely disassembled. Pour some Chemtool in your little plastic tub. Use as little cleaner as it takes to clean each part. Brush it clean with your brushes and pipe cleaners. keep dirt out of those passages important! This is why i do not soak my carbs in used fluid: Carb with the primer pumps have these little channels going thru the bowl and body, leading to a tiny orifice in the carb throat. Soaking in used fluid increases the likelihood that you’ll get debris in carb channels. Also, soaking for long periods allows a galvanic pathway between dissimilar metals on the carb for corrosion. I’m real particular and usually go thru some extra unnecessary steps, but i don’t do this for a living—it’s a labor of love. A thot about ultrasonics. My lab has a 2 gallon ultrasonic cleaner with a water bath—the manager puts parts in jars filled with cleaning agent (sometimes methanol) and runs the cycle—this allows cleaning under ultrasonic conditions without any cleaning agent off gassing into the lab.

I reviewed the service manual for the project I’m working on—grease types. what a pain trying to find out whether a grease is lithium based, percent moly, polyurea—I’m the guy that needs a little more information. The owner is a farmer and knows his grease; so I’m going to use the grease types specified in the manual and since John Deere is real specific about formulation, making selections from their grease makes it easy and people there usually know their stuff

I've seen that happen a couple times from semi's. Never in a position to get a picture. Couple years ago I was next to one hauling logs that looked to be in poor repair and was slowly passing him. All of the sudden I heard a loud crack. Looked in the passenger side mirror and saw one of the trailer tires off and right between us. I hammered the gas pedal, the wheel crossed 3 lanes, through a deep ditch, jumped the railroad tracks and out into the Mississippi River. Then the one next to it came off, ran a couple hundred yards down the road, though the right hand ditch, went airborne into a house and bounced 30' back into an oak tree. Then the guy pulled over. Luckily traffic was light or someone would have gotten killed. I'm sure the highway patrol tore him a new one.

@Goober .. Johndeere grease would be fine ... it has a thick film strength ... plus a water proof quality .. that bel-ray, or mystic is what I'd go with.

Congratulations to the Bear Buster Hunting Club ----- I'll have my bear burger well done !!!!

oh okay gotcha .... I've had pulleys bolts get a grey metalic powered coating ...sometimes even fine lite powereding of rust being slung out in a centrifugal padern ... it's also a sign of loose / worn key ways ...this pic kind of give an idea of the dis coloring .. of what I'm talking about ... those lug nuts are loose, not exactly the same ... the anvil / shear bar is what the knives shear / chop the wood against ...it should be located and the bottom of the loading chute ..

What do you mean when you say anvil? That bolt is still tight yes. The bolts that hold the outfeed chute on, when I bought it 1 of the bolts was sheared, I will be upgrading the chute to a new, slightly longer one next season, as the current one, the top of the chute narrows down a good bit and I want a bigger opening to reduce blockages

You might be right , there may not be a case gasket on a 500 foreman ES , I am not a 500 guy

Opened them up and got a pic , not too bad at all inside ----- I got them in a box , going to the post office tomorrow

Hi: Big Welcome Here --- Have you got a gasket on the clutch cover?

I have a 99 kq, they are a tank.

Silicone grease is slippery and does not dry out, but it has no high pressure film strength, which is an engineered-in requirement for it to be considered for a lubricant in this, or any other usage case where moving parts are under pressure. Any good EP grease will serve ya better. If you expect the lube to go long term in all temperatures try using a synthetic NLGI #2 EP or wheel bearing grease, as ester based compounds do not degrade or separate either.

I think I'm gonna take my target rig deer hunting this fall, get it done early and sit out the rifle season. I'm anticipating the way the global goods economy is teetering along, putting some venison up in jars (and stashing coffee & TP away) might pay off if things begin to fall apart this winter/spring. Gonna have to buy me another ladderstand to set up over Deer though, got all of 'em set on Bear right now. This is Bam-a-Lam. She's a rangy primitive grunge kinda gal. Loud & obnoxious & hits harder than she lets on. 😱

Got a chance to finally get out. Took my mephew and his family. Believe it or not Shade, we all made it back, 3 Can Ams and we all made it back!!! He picked up a nice 2016 570 with only 790 miles. Never been out before, had a great day although it was very hot. Then took evening ride Sunday with some friends.
