I just got mine on line took 10 minutes, no problems and got both DMPs.

I was the only 1 to lose an arrow! That 86 yd shot at the beer can screwed me up! Seriously I think we may have a monday or tuesday evening get together started. "Brews, Bows n Bros"

Sorry I didn't make. I had every intention of going up the lake at 6 but my sisters boat (you may recall the thread where I was fixing her boat 2 years ago) broke down in the lake. The water pump went and it overheated. I think it got dangerously close to ruing the motor! We got towed in by a 2 person jet ski! I should have taken a picture, the view from behind was great! Although a very slow tow. We got back to the marina at 6:30 and took the boat back the cottage where I started fixing it. Got the part Monday morning and fixed it only to find that the hydraulic line that lifts the outdrive melted a hole in it and now we can't operate the trim. Searched for the parts but nothing available locally so were done til we get home and I can order it. I don't think there is any way to temporary fix on a hydraulic line cause of the pressure? Anyway Sorry I missed it

Did you try Hebeler's in Pendleton?

Use something like Preen to prevent weed seeds from growing, problem is it will also prevent anything you plant from germinating. My wife uses it in her flower beds, personally I don't think it works that well, it doesn't stop the maples and cottonwood seeds from germinating!

I haven't shot all summer, going to visit my son in So Cal for 2 weeks, I'll start when I get back. The bug should be in full gear by then! Tach we need to get together and fix up my Elite. (string and cables).

I wish I would have read this post before I sprayed my food plots. I picked up round up 18% glysophate mix 6oz to a gallon. I should have looked for a higher concentrate or added less water. I'm not sure if it will kill off all the weeds and grass? I won't be able to get back on it until mid August (I'll be out of town) and I was hoping to disc it up and spread a mix of clover and hog radish then. Also, i sprayed it yesterday morning and we got a lot of rain last night, hope it had time to work before it got washed off. Bottle says rain ready in 4 hours, really?

I hear ya, gerd sucks, thats why I switched to the white pizzas. Put on banana peppers for a little bite without the grease from pepperoni.

We used to get Bocces on Bailey until we got a totally burned and dried up pizza. I never complain but it was not edible, we called and got a replacement that was half baked!! Didn't get to eat it until 10 pm. I haven't gone back since. Leonardis is a good bocce pizza, but they are limited on white pizzas. That is a greek pizza from Johnnys with broccoli added. It was great!

I did the hot dog taste test and they are all great but last night we had company over and couldn't agree on a pizza order. So the debates begin...... My wife likes C&P with onions, her sister likes veggie, and like white pizza. So here's the results! Pizza options are never ending, and they're all good! What's your favorite?

That was interesting. I agree with the comments about regions. I live in wny and Sahlens are the only dogs my wife will buy. When I did my taste test she wouldn't even try one! The Zweigles were good, but i really liked the Hoffmans white hots. Not the same so really not a true comparison. Today is National Hot Dog day, Ted's is having regular Hot dogs for .91 each. I believe they serve Sahlens?

Set up the tent and put a large tarp over the tent. It will keep the tent dry and give you an area around the tent that is dry so you can set up a table, etc. out of the weather. You can throw some quilted moving blankets over the tent and under the tarp to help keep in some heat. I use the cheap moving blankets from harbor freight. Although if you are packing all this in it may be too much to carry? Just a thought.

That sounds like a great idea! Any idea where you can get one of those tires? I'll probably check the local tractor supply stores or maybe a truck repair shop. Any pics of the tire set up?

That an over running clutch. yes the BH has a bolt at the yoke connection. and you can shear it off!

Like everyone else I have tried a variety of hunting seats over the years. Some are better than others. My climber has the most comfortable seat I've ever hunted out off. Can sit for hours. I bring a foam pad for my ladder stands, and my hang on all have padded seats. But, I have been setting up a couple of pop up blinds lately and I haven't found the right seat yet. Folding bag chairs are not really comfy and they make a lot of noise. The bucket seats have no back rest and my back can not handle that. The 3 legged seats just plain suck. I suppose they are much better seats available bur I'm not spending $$$ for a chair. JMO

my friend took the shaft to Niagara Implement and ended up buying a new complete driveshaft as the shield was $100 and would take a week to get it. The new shaft was $150, plus $80/hr as they were going to have to swap out the yoke at the implement end because they didn't match. Couldn't swap the yoke because the new shafts are metric? So they took the new one to a machine shop to have the keyway cut into the yoke. That was $200 extra. Turns out the BH doesn't have a keyway and the machining was totally unnecessary! Boy did we get the SHAFT!! We could have just ordered the new shield, took the damaged one off and used the old shaft without the shield until it came in. Lesson learned. The new shaft is hollow triangle shaft and the old 1 is solid squared shaft, so I assume the new 1 is not as heavy duty? although the new one is rated for more HP than the tractor has, I can't believe it will hold up as well as a solid shaft? Time will tell.

No takers? Today is garbage day, it's going to the curb.

How do you know how long the shaft should be? I know there has to be play so that it doesn't bottom out but is there a standard? The brush hog was being used on the same type of tractor when I bought it. I assumed it was the right length. With the pto being offset on the tractor it needs a longer throw when turning to the right and a much shorter length when making a left turn. (you can see it on the previous pics)

She must be roosting near by. She was in my front yard at 5:45 this morning. Bill, no poults. She is used to people, I was able to walk right up to her.

Yes first ever piebald I've seen here. Last year my buddy saw a piebald doe getting bred by 2 bucks. I thought he was seeing things as i have never seen 1 here. But they do exist! this guy must be 1 of her offspring?

The Snyder wild turkey is back! She was scratching in our flower bed, my wife just finished doing the mulch!

The boys of summer!! Starting to get some pics of some potential big guys, PLUS the drop tine is BACK!!!!

Well I reversed the wheels on the BH and gave it a try. Adjusted the height no problem, mowed fine, but when I went to turn around I must have over extended the PTO driveshaft. The outer shield pinched and bound up. I'm hoping I can replace the shield and not have to buy a new driveshaft? Anyone have any experience with fixing them? You probably can't see it in the picture but the inside piece now has acrump in it and the outer piece doesn't slide over like it used to.

Is that a movie quote or are you just braggin!!!

I have a 4.00/4.80-8 tire mounted on a steel 4 lug wheel if anyone could use it, you can have it. I believe it was from an old snowmobile trailer. PM me if interested, I'm in Amherst, Main- Kensington area.
