Yeah I went the cheap and simply works route.

Today on.. "hard core tech".. We're in #MaynardHood and we got broke down #FedEx truck, I diagnosed as a bad starter silonoid, got that good sir some water and a seat to relax while awaiting his company mechanic to come. Did he come after 30 mins sure, what's he do, same thing I did 25 mins ago. What's he find, he thinks he needs to try jumping battery, while waiting he calls a big truck expert to help tell him what he and I already figured it out to be. So I had to babysit truck while it still sits blocking my drive. No biggie as we just watering the garden and flowers. Enjoying my day as yes he broke down while delivering my package. Good man he was just trying to leave me be with my package. and to true form, I begin to work on installing the gas tank skid when I notice a damn scratch, must be from the package handling. so putting a game plan together on this hard core skid install, when I've been having them running issues one after another it seems. Well I got real hardcore and got this problem solved, I'd tell you. If she fires up and stalls. If she runs a bit then quits. Fuel is good and spark is great, and if you just installed mechanical temp gage. Essentially eliminating the problem factory equipped one that has had enough. Then like swapping out an auto for a manual. You gots to ground out the old sensor to keep the computer happy and working. It seems to cause the kill switch to be triggered and the @$$ sagging isn't keeping that mercury switch level anymore. so hard core tech lesson for today... when in doubt get the paperclip out..

Use the tub of the washer for a fire ring, then if wanted you can convert the tub motor to a generator and power the shop.

They in the garage yet? It's getting to hot to sit outside, let them move in already.

Sweetness.

talking about how much stuff gets neglected and how you have more time for them projects and yet here you are making jerky. Gotta love the retirement life! Enjoy yourself good Sir.

Be sure to slap a couple stickers on the window side. Representing.

Can't say that I have. But if quality is what your after, they have it. Be a great kit to build your own setup or upgrade from short arms.

🤞

What you going to do with all the yard space your going to have now?

Bucket seats are nice. Good looking seat right there.

Now need the second battery and some wire.

For sure. Mills min is 14" but this 18" be prolly the smallest I'd use. My 14" is only for climbing trees and through brush piles. I've been. Looking at a 28" setup at my local store. 1600 is a little much currently so perhaps if when get that 4th stimulus check I'll for sure get it to support my economy and all.

I need pics , I can't read what I understand.

Someone gave me a reason to play with wood. and perhaps another reason to get a bigger toy. to playing in the woods.

These little guys put in some work..

Parts arrived and it's running smoothly again. Got the fan figured out. Made some slight mods and made it worked. Should be good. Fix it as I go, you know. Figure the gap will let more air out or in.. Now thats done, still awaiting driveshafts, so shall move on to next over the road project addition. Dual battery setup with some power supply. Figure I'd set things up to build off of or expand if needed later. I enjoy seeing what other people do themselves, but most the time it's not directly applicable for me. So I try to learn how they did it and try to avoid their mistakes all the while learning from my own mistakes. Never know how something might work out unless you try it for yourself. Finally figured out a real battery holddown setup. Simple enough.

Gotta love uhaul. I really should utilize their equipment more. Soon you sooner then later.

Pins greased up? Maybe some mud in guide pins.

Progress is always good.

Collapsed line perhaps..umm

Nothing a little mud can't fill eh..

Makes sense it's a leverage game. You can still create same setup just adjust the fixed pivotal points.
