Monkeying around in Shultzie's garage

[rkuik]

are there any number in the full or half spools for the disc blades? if so, what are they?

 

[kshultz]

I haven't had a chance to look yet. I'll look when I get home.
Here's one advertised as an International.

Since it appears to have some red paint on it, I would rule out Brinly! Looks pretty old though.

I looked a little closer last night and couldn't find any numbers. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. (I had a busy night)
I got it off the trailer and hooked up to the WD and it seems to work great. I can't wait until fall to tear up the garden.

The 100 getting a little extra work over the weekend.

I used the disc on the garden this past weekend. It worked great. Defiantly glad I got it. Ready to dump some chopped up leaves on it this fall.

And so it begins. Getting the leaves picked up and spread out on the garden.

old Roman Chariots had long blades fitted to those hub extenders you have ... to presumably cut the spokes of opposition chariots or the horses legs I guess (the SPCA might have a few words to say about that practice) but since we are monkeying around, lets see who can come up with the most (im)practical use for those hub extenders.

My go is:
For pulling you out of a mud hole by winding rope around a tree and around those hub extenders and with the wheels spin till they grip

for powering squirrel-cage fans to keep ya cool while mowing

Without any thing around to give away the current date, that picture could be 50 years old. Pretty

Here in upper NY, leaves are done, garlic is planted and we just had a few snow flurries.
Snowplows and chains to be installed soon. Installing with frozen fingers is never fun

Got the 100 in the shop and adding a small toolbox for the ball hitch that I use. Just big enough for a wrench and the ball. I'll get some more pics after it's painted.

I was done with chains long ago, use Carlisle AG tires with some back-porch weight.
Cheers, Jack

 

[kshultz]

Done!

Shultzie, did you build that box?
Looks good.

Yep.

Chains vs Ag treads depends on ground conditions. When it's really icy under fresh snow, I need the actual "bite" of chains, otherwise I keep getting stuck, and have to either abuse my body to bounce my 149 out, or use the truck to pull it out.

same when pushing snow on cold slick pavement, gotta have bite

Exactly. When I lived on Long Island (lower NY) the snow would come down heavy and wet but the air temp and ground never really got cold for too long. I can see that the Gent from Pearl River probably has that same scenario. So, you can away with Ags. But where I am now, ice cold, hard rubber, would just chatter over a hard pack ground that's hasn't seen as high as 5 degrees in weeks. When the ground is that hard, you need cutting steel. Sometimes even they won't bite in enough. Added weight or not.
The pic shows 4 link V chains. I added to them, they are 2 link now.
Even the backhoe needs chains for when we get the real snowfall
