  1. my neighbor built one in his wood stove used a car wheel and a shop vac for the blower, with gravity feed on the oil. would have too look at it again and get some pics.
  2. I'd go with IH red and white........always looks good dragging a John Deere........I'm cheep myself so tractor colors are my preference, 40-60 bucks a gallon for enamel just add hardner and buff, no clear coat to peal if left unwaxed..... just some more buffing!

    jake brake

    yep, a good quick shift aid when going up hill! but abut worthless as a compression brake, it does change the sound of the exhaust but that's about it!
  4. always used to see either a sears and roebuck or Montgomery ward catalog at every farm auction I would attend as a kid ( the Kelley blue book of the day) the old guys would be checking prices and evaluating the condition of stuff compared to buying new, always thought that was kinda different......I had most of the prices memorized, especially the Christmas catalog, I knew the price of every toy!.....and would remind my parents constantly
  5. IPD may also have an engine kit as well You might check with some community colleges or vo-tec schools, often they will do the work for free, and would be supervised by the instructor.
  6. like the bumper sticker sez......arguing with a woman is like wrestling with a pig in the mud........after a while you realize the pig enjoys it! Well its wrestling season .......and I'm used to getting nowhere
  7. when the average U.S. farmer (the most efficient farmer in the world) feeds 160 people , I billion more mouths will take a considerable amount of farmers world wide to deal with this. if you use the U.S. numbers that would be 6,250,000 new farmers needed to do this
  8. waiting on the next round of snow to arrive here tonight , the warm up would be nice ! 15 here now ,started the day at -5 thankfully the wind is calm tried playing with the snowmobiles but not enough snow yet about 5" of dry powder stuff needs to melt a little so we have some base. Thankfully we didn't have more or I would be moving snow drifts from all the wind earlier this week . 9 inches would be a good start for playing on the sleds Stay warm and stay safe, seen some pics from face book, looks like some dandy wrecks on the eastern side of the country, also some good ones on I-5 out here as the westerners out here don't do snow.
  9. just send me your air ride superliner, I will put the rears to good use
  10. I think she needs to do some research on the new middle class in china, and its demand for food, other than rice and fish.
  11. this conversion allows the operator to not need a siren! you just straight pipe the 53 and every thing within a 1/2 mile radius is headed in the other direction!
  12. I'm not an expert on logging in Minn. but what I understand that area is mostly hard woods and white pine that is exported into Canada, at least that's what they were showing on TV when I think the outfits name was Pelagrenie Logging (sure I didn't spell that right) couldn't believe what I was seeing on the screen the guys were logging in creek basins and other riparian areas THAT IS ABSOULTLY NOT ALLOWED HERE ! The Sierra Club are small players out here any more, Future Wise and a dozen others are more common here. and as far as Agriculture shrinking you need to forward me where in the f@#%& you are getting this info! last I checked this planet is getting more crowded every day, so unless these new people are cannibals some thing has to feed them!
  13. Exactly ! same thing here heavy haul route from the boarder to Oroville Wa. to get reloaded onto train cars, our local mill is a 1/4 mile away from the reload and struggling to stay open, the only thing that keeps them going is they have the largest head gear left in the state, so the oversize gets shipped to them. about the only heathy forest in the county belongs to the Colville Confederated Tribe, pretty damn sad that the Indians are better land managers that all of the well educated liberals trying to manage our lands!...........perhaps common sense is the key
  14. I live in a pac-rim state we could export more wood than we saw, but foreign markets are very picky about their timber, liberals would rather see it burn than support rural community's and schools. the enviro's have launched suit on every timber sale the state issued in the 90's and 2000's. The state has won a few in recent years, but not enough to get caught up on the damaged timber.
  15. I couldn't agree more ! during our fires of 14 and 15 we burned just south of a million acres here in Okanogan county, the thinned and grazed land (private) was mostly a ground fire that didn't damage the trees or soil, and easily recovered from the fire. The state and federal ground that had been protected from human intervention was a inferno, that killed the trees and scorched the soil leaving many areas sterile (which causes erosion) due to the mass destruction much of the timber was not salvaged because the mills couldn't process it quick enough. land owners were lucky to get timber removed after the fire as company's were not paying for burnt wood. and were swimming in offers to come and get it! thus our schools and other areas of our economy that would have benefited from timber dollars did not. I am hopeful the new administration will clean up some of our federal land and lessen the danger in our area. we too have major beetle damage in need of attention! I should also add that almost no federal timber was harvested after the fire, the government cant function quick enough to put up a timber sale after a fire, by the time they do none of the mills want to bid on the sale as the timber quality is compromised by that time.
  16. I would venture a guess that Opra was on another one of her diets and couldn't be chauffeured around with out smelling fresh bread and thus spoiling her diet, so with her democratic connections the EPA had to act !
  17. you can use it but will need to ad dca, to it. napa or heavy truck store will have it and the test strips. I use the heavy duty coolant with dca added little more spendy but no hassle testing !
  18. have you looked at the size of Alaska? it would take a half million acre forest fire to produce enough smoke to even get the Canadians attention! so I don't think that's an issue here.
  19. see what happens when a state votes republican! ........never thought the libertards would end up protecting me.......hope they don't check individual ballets and single me out We can burn wood if it is our only source of heat during weather inversions, (provided its a certified wood stove) ...I looked at it and certified it as such, I only burn wood in it As for the EPA goons I say we send them to Alaska to help the wolf population avoid starvation during the winter months.
  20. could use a few more of these signs...............I hate stopping anyways!
  21. the copper line is fine ! as for the line leaving the bulk head I would use a braded hose from it to the air dryer just to be safe. make sure that the hose you use is DOT approved ! an Areoquip or Stratoflex cloth/ wire braid should due just fine.
  22. I think with the square footage of the mentioned sheds a "rain bird 20" should be sufficient
  23. Well if you get close to this one again let me know ! I'm about 70 miles away !
