What I did to get it to show up was put the link that you posted in between IMG tags. I do everything on the computer and as of a week or so ago I could click on the photo on PhotoBucket, get the IMG link, paste it here, and delete the URL that was on the back half, thus leaving just the IMG stuff.

I'm sure there are death threats floating around for butchering a good 110. Those lawn mower people are crazy

It just updated not that long ago Ellis. I don't care for the new app but it still works. The older version was easier to use and navigate.

I can't do any of it with my phone, It's not a smart phone and I don't have text capabilities.
Caleb, I haven't cut it yet, and I am one of those crazy people. Here are the other 2 photos, I wanted you guys to look at them and tell me if you think it looks funny with the engine offset that much. It's a Perkins 2 cyl diesel I want to put in there. I need to cut the frame to lower it 4 inches, but I'm not doing that until I think it's going to look ok.

[PToombs]

Caleb, I copied it and added the img tags and it worked, as you can see, but the pics are small so it's harder to see. I have to figure out where to put a radiator in there too.
I'm not at all impressed with pb right now, it's way to hard to something that was easy.

How many of you guys use a v shaped maul versus an ax?

I always used an ax, but decided to try one of those v shaped mauls recently and it stinks. It must weigh close to 15 lbs and is nearly impossible to get a good swing going. I like my single bit ax (about 3-4 lbs) - I can split a weeks worth of wood in under an hour by hand. I do use a wood splitter sometimes, but an ax is a good winter workout.

[PToombs]

Screw that! Woodsplitter, use the axe to finish stringy pieces.

[dazedandconfused]

I love to use a maul but my size helps me a lot. If its seasoned wood I'll split it by hand but the rest goes in the splitter.

So my dad brought home an oliver 1265 to replace his to-20 for snow duty. When its real cold out, it will run for about 10 mins, the engine will speed up, and then die. The first time it did it, I cracked the injector lines to check for fuel, then gave it a shot of ether and it slowly chugged to life. It ran great the rest of the night. Today it did it again and we cant get it started. Ideas?

[cmann250]

If it sat for a long time before he got it, I bet there's crap in the tank.

We used to do all our wood splitting by hand. The we got a load of spinnouts from the mill. Then it was just impractical to hand split a log that needs to be split between 8 and 16 times. We built our own splitter too, and been through three rams, two cutters, and had to weld the hitch back on once

[cmann250]

Looks like I'm getting dumped on with snow and you'll be getting ice this next go around, Andy. Fun, fun.

[dazedandconfused]

I hope they are wrong and we get snow I don't want this ice crap. Im ready though if it does snow.

[DodgeFreak]

that blade would look better on the duck......lol

[dazedandconfused]

Lol I had it off the truck and the duck parked in front of it. It really makes the little truck look little.

When I had my '91 S-10 I pulled up behind one of the 8 foot Fishers at work. Now that was impressive!
