  1. $700 ?!?! Yeah....i agree... I forgot to mention i do recall the front tires (no pun intended shade) on that ol Alice Chalmers squat and just to give an idea of tracter size, it was not a massive size tractor... Eh ? About in the nieghor hood of 110-115 hp...... Hm.... I must have the numbers wrong someplace.... >> << website information I don't / didn't think that area was that far above sea level. my barametric gauges are calculated @ 750 feet.... Anyways.. I was thinking.... If the weight of said pipe was heavy enough to cause 2 front tires at about 55-60 psi to mash what (kinda) would be the total length ? Well... I can tell now if that question is the foremost in my head... Sigh.... Someone needs some serious rest....
  2. Nice! Magivering! I got involed in one..... The way we did it.... Well i walked in on that ordeal just after it started.... So I'm not too sure about what took place before pump ect ect were removed... So ... It was just 3 of us.... They had cutting torches... And needed me to do the hydraulics (front end loader) so i would wait for them to blow a hole straight in the ppe n right out the other side... Then they would stick rebar in the hole I'd let the loader down the rebar would catch on the casing .....they would cut the top half off re chain .... Reel more up rinse and repeat....removed i don't know how many feet of pipe like that (i must have been about 17-19) what made that job fun was the area of the well.... One of the highest areas around @Fishfiles you recall that pic of the microwave tower ? That's a rocks toss away from where the well was... Lol 600 ft above sea level i think ? Got it done... And used the scrap pipe to make some good ol heavy duty cattle panels (toe / finger mashing)
  3. Or you could be recruited ..... As a child to go pick out the rocks.... Besides riding a tator plow, pulling weeds (ROOTS AND ALL) and helping gather the fresh produce ... Hauling sacking etc ect... You get to understand what work ethic was, or you didn't sit too well for a short time.
  4. Had the 8 tracks, well i didn't ...... But the family auto did......i sware i heard sweet Carolina .... Enough times, and i can't stand that song! Lol!
  5. Hard to believe those little mantis jewels been around that long... Makes me feel old.... Lol!
  6. Toodeep ..... Are you talking the mid tine honda mantis ? (Pic) i have this one... I had the 1st model that came out, i believe the engine was a problematic .... The updated model... ( like i have) eh..... It's not too bad, on a person... Small enough to use around plants already root established... .. Really does a great job tilling soil.. Too good actually .... It will completely powder the soil... Which isn't good.... The other big brother.. Is a class 2 or 3, three point hitch 1000 pto rpm driven 100 horse plus industrial model we have, only used from prepping tobacco beds... But would make very quick work prepping a massive size plot... It might be a lands pride make, i don't recall, i do know all the above is acurite ... Sept the brand it's construction orange... It's close to this but also has depth gauge wheels... On each side.
  7. Im reminded of that ol Wendy's commecial when Dave was still alive (where's the beef) Guy that built this.... Well his YouTube channel is Purdy cool from what I've seen....there is another blender with an even smaller 2 stroke engine... That build looks almost like a factory made model.... Haven't located it yet..
  8. This is the bar i was talking about further up in this thread (Earnhardt bar) there's also a Newman bar, and i believe one or a couple more safty features added over the years.... Most all those clips I've witnessed, but up next ? Michael Waltrips crash at Bristol .... I don't believe in luck.... But this crash ? I couldn't even guess what the odds / chances were maybe 1 chance in a 100.000 that he escaped completely unharmed .... My pop said one day that spot would make NASCAR news... And he was right, him .... And some friends of Sterling Marlin Rick Webster, and a few others used to race the migits (pic) these were motor cycle powered cars... Not known for being very fast... But fast enough for the size... My pop n uncle plus a few other big money people almost convenced NASCAR and accociated company's, sports venders, Winston cup... To build a very large race track in Lewis county Tennessee back many many years ago.... I'm not sure why that never saw the light of day... But it almost came abouts... I would have thoroughly enjoyed shaking hands with the legends minus R Petty.... For backing hubba bubba walace....i think now that old man pulled his head out of his !.... But I'll never respect him agian for backing that crooked ! deal... So screw him Hubba bubba and who ever else was involed.... I don't have any problem with the sport being for all kinds minus tinker bells... It's the way the door was ripped open...
  9. Hello, and Welcome to ATVH...... I gotta a friend who bout one brand new... Still has it, i rode it a couple times.... Talk about the razors edge..... Lol!..... You might hear from slammedranger... He's a sport quad rider / racer!
  10. She's something ...... ! So is that bike! Roller chain handle bars... And a beer bottle for a what a sediment bowl ?! And the two Zc wrenches up front... This one remind me of that spider gear throttle assembly Linked
  11. Haha! Uh huh good luck .... That claas alone could be $50.000 - a cool half milllion ..... Lol!
  12. I just wander what will happen today... See! It's already turnig my thoughts more into... Trying to keep up with what mistakes will be made during times not under green flag conditions ... No matter what people say (just ignore that mess) well that's easyer said then done because NASCAR keeps bringing up those mistakes... Well, at times seems like they (nascar) would rather the focus on mistakes rather then just letting people enjoy the race, back when we were pulling 7 days a week.... You listened via a tractor cab equipt radio... It's rough on tv, but even worse on the am/fm dial... Because they give you so many more things to mull over... And that takes away..note did hear about Elliot's snow boarding accident .... Best wishes.... For a speedy recovery. anyways I'm not a downer... Just pointing out why the sport isn't like it used to be... But that said... None of them are ... Got no use for the nfl or nba.... For me football college is the sport to get into... My though is those players? there working for it... Players in the nfl ? Knee takers! So got no time for those steroid dosed idiots. The united rentals work united 500 at the Phoenix raceway......race airs on direct channel 17 @ 2:30 CDT.
  13. I can recall Someone saying shade will end being a tractor mechanic..... Before it's said and done... And you doing the part most dred... Transmition work... It's only up from that point.. Lol!... Least you shouldn't have to venture back in there after this.. It's NOT yellow! ....
  14. Well back in this thread comments were made about that newer single wheel bolt verses the old five.... So far this season both races have been effected by that faulty choice... I said they would have more problems with the single nut then with the five pattern... And it's been happening not only was that a big mistake but it's also effecting NASCAR all the way, being now! more attention is being payed to the pit are looking for mistakes... That's not at all what racing is about... It's about racing not about mistakes in the pits! I believe two pit members were takn out off (given time off) because of that bad wheel bolt on deal. Enough with the rules and regelations! End being even tho .... All that it was a good race! @m_quick got any plans for attending this season ?
  15. Figures.... They think just cause some are small tractor it won't be subjected to the use a big one will and it's just the opposite... Matter of fact they see more hard use because they can be are used more because of there size so size in the case matters.
  16. Didnt have any magnetic check / drain plugs did it ? Some do while some don't .... One of ours (older model) has them, but the newer one doesn't .... And they do work... I never like seeing the effects, although glad those filings are attracted ... And not left for just floating the filter to trap
  17. She looks like she might be on something else besides the bike....hm....
  18. He might not be able to get PMs just yet with only 3 post under his belt.... Less admins changed that timer. Just saying.. I don't we ever nailed down how many it takes.. Hm.... Might be the perfect time ? @Fatty did you get wheelers PM ? (Post count 3)
  19. I had forgotten Ms Carter also acted in the dukes of hazard movie...along with some very well known talent ...
  20. Well he's got half that mike Rowe saying right work hard.... But the Work smart part is long gone.....lol!
  21. Looks good! Money savings (from no more dragging) the long run. Plus plus.
