2018 Build-Off Discussion

That sounds insulting....

Maybe it is but it keeps me from getting banned, and you better be ready for a bunch of stupid questions. Last week a guy posted a pic of an axle he had and wanted to know what size it was. Doc said measure it

LOL, yeah that is kinda annoying.

BTW, I believe if you mark someone as a foe their posts don't show up.

It has not been bad in here, but I see it changing reall quick

Wow, this new PC setup makes administrating so much easier. Been tweaking some of the forums and stuff.

Also, surprise! All entrants are colored. I believe thats called "incentive", or something like that.

I believe we had a discussion about that kind of talk in another setting.

The colored names, or my shiny new PC?

I think this year is going to be good! Skid-steer thing, 3 wheeler, and stretched tractor!!!  Can't decide which one I like more.  


Good luck everyone!!! 

Pretty good turnout for day 1. Lotta people not putting in that bonus password though. Hmm...

Yeah I got it wrong, I wrote "Nightlite, lol!  All these companies are making up names and they I can't get it right!

I better find something else to do tonight. I think doc is already mad at me.

You can dig out my Build Off parts for me. Ill give you a dollar and a nice cold Stone.

I think you may have sent me the wrong pic. At any rate, I threw you into the mix, so just wait out till the drawing occurs.

The pic was right... quote was wrong. Only forum I am on where the quote button is on the top.

OK, I missed it. What's the deal with the bonus password? I assume you are talking about "Nilight" . Looked it up and is a company that makes LED's.

If you put the bonus password in, you will be entered in a drawing to win some Nilight LEDs.  The drawing is in March so you can use them in the build-off.

Uh.... you may want to check that again!  Drawing in May.  

I know, May, March..... they both start with M.

May, march, who cares!  If whoever invented the whole shebang decided it was two months early, then it would have been in march!!!

Im having no luck finding anything cheap around here to enter with.
Maybe its time to update the grass cutter.

How about going to a junk yard or shopping around for just a parts tractor?

Yeah you dont have to actually go to their website, just trying to draw some more traffic to them since I caught a whiff of them possibly sponsoring again this year. They make some nice stuff.

Oops ! i also forgot the extra password.... can i add it to my entry sheet and post a new pic in my build thread to get entered?


@Tater195 , i agree with you on the stupid simple questions . Most of the carb issue, or parts spec questions are easier to find on google than asking someone on the forum, unless the questions are about modified parts ect, of course. Not sure how to tell someone that nicely.

Prime example... Current post, how do I wire this up? (square voltage regulator)... 7 comments. 6 wrong ones, 3 from the same guy.... and the thing plugs into different sized M/F plugs that will only go one way

I'm curious. The rules say you have to update your thread at least monthly. If you finish it a few months early, do you still have to update it?

If this year is anything like last year, I will post 100 pics and not get done anyway, so that wont be a problem for me. Been almost a year since I jacked my back. I can get more shop time now but still have to watch what I do. Lifting a twin 2 or 3 times a day and flipping an old MTD frame by myself probably isnt on the list but I did it anyway. Some people just dont learn. cutting off a 20 foot x 16" maple limb and carrying 3 foot logs aint helping much either.
