Off Topic Anything 2024

Hey doods

check out what got dropped off in my front yard last night




CV20S 20.5hp Command



Threw on the GT18'S brand new tires, as I'm retiring it. Rest in pieces, you old hunk of junk.

You lucky SOB. I wish I could have Kohler commands just spawn out of nowhere

Running and driving, how much you think I paid for it?

I paid $250 for one just like it.  

@Ifitaintbroke whatca doing with that old ford?. Is it a 86 crew cab? If it's not forgive me I'm dumb

@torgo is yours a hydro or El-Manuel

100 bucks for it and 20 for the ride.

That's my trailer pulling rig. 86 supercab, basically an extended cab.

@Ifitaintbroke is it a 351?

Heck no! I don't waste my time on small blocks. It's a 460 bored to a 472.

Been a tough day boys, got me to drinking

@Ifitaintbroke you're hitting that "wash your sister sauce" aren't you Lol. My dad has a 93 Ford with a 7.3 in it I feel like you'd like it LOL

Dead serious I love this stuff so much I'll drink it. I had some earlier in a can of tuna.

A 93 7.3 is ok but kinda wimpy compared to a 460 as it's a non-turbo idi.

@Ifitaintbroke true but still a dang good truck turns out 250 horsepower is just perfect for pulling a giant oak tree off a house

Hey all, I’m at work doing nothing right now so thought I’d drop in and see how it’s going round these parts. Like said I’m working now, full time. Ford tech. I’m doing a TON of F150 and Expedition transmissions. 10R80 ain’t doing too well for ol corporate. That’s why I haven’t been on the forum. With work there’s just no time for it. My extra time is spent wrenching on my own stuff. I haven’t done much with the tractors. Still tinkering here and there but nothing big and I don’t plan to for a little while still. I put a new belt on Alfredo and a few other fixes to keep him going. He’s dirty but still running and ripping just as good as ever. I don’t get him out very much so the wear and tear is happening a lot slower than back in the day. I’ll update my other tractors in their own thread later on. I’ve mainly been focused on my cars when I’m not at work. I’ve got quite a few to work on. I’ll update those as well later. Still got the Mountain Murray, still sitting under the same tarp out back the shop that it has been for the past 2 years. Ole Blue still in the woods with the Wizard and the Scat Rat all grown up in weeds. They’ll come back one of these days. I’m trying to get through all my projects I have now and not add on to them any more. I need to get what I have done before the offroad mowers get touched unfortunately. It’s going slow but I am definitely making progress.

Good to hear from you MM!

Sure is quiet in this lonely malenky box, all on my oddy knocky.

Not the kind of fun I was hoping for in November.

Let the prototrak whittle some stuff out for me








So now I’ve got plates to use both 4 and 6 pinion axles in a 4 pinion 633. And with the same gear profile i can cut a plate to lock a 6 pinion 633 the same way.

@MightyRaze my dumb butt thought that that was the election Lol

Just got my project S10 out of the garage since it's waiting on me to find parts nobody seems to have, and I pushed my 3 best friends into the garage they all seem to hate me right now idk why I totally don't neglect and abuse them, the grey craftsman is now on mst#5

Some mudding may or may not have occurred today.

Believe it or not I actually used the GT6000 to get groceries the other day. It's a long story...

You guys might like some of this!

@RichieRichOverdrive will be proud I flipped my first tractor the other day I'm a little sore but ok LOL

One of those situations has arisen.  A tractor with some desired parts has shown up on marketplace.  Like I need another tractor in the yard.  Wrong hood, but my research says this should be one of those green Murray Ultras...  I would have to retire some tractors to take this on.




Yep, 820 and a 20hp pressure lube oppy in one tractor.
