LET EM GROW

If you were closer id fix it for you. Looks like you need a good welder or fab shop. You can have a bushing that the axle slip fits perfectly into, welded at the same location. OR it can be welded and re machined(drilled and reamed) .. A bushing press fit in and welded to it would be ideal.

Sorry for your loss

I threaded some 410 barrels for win invector style chokes a month or so ago. I really enjoy gun smithing Drilled and tapped several shotguns and rifles for scope and red dot bases

Never heard of bronze wool i will certainly be looking for some. Thank you!

https://www.ballard-inc.com/product/x-blade-xbe/ Same idea. I just made my own and made it stronger.

Remove wheel and then remove axle, If you cant find a part number for axle, measure it and replace it. Tractor supply or Northern Tool may have one. Or order online by measurements taken. But also check to make sure its not the axle frame, where the axle gets attached to may be bent. Or if the through hole for the axle is oblonged. Something is very bent there and certainly not normal wear. IF its the area where axle gets attached, a local machine shop could fix all that for you if you feel you cant do it yourself. seems like a pretty simple fix.

I still have a Model 37 Ithaca 16ga and another Remington 870 12ga and a couple more old 22s to get cleaned up as well.

Thanks, Wish i could take credit but thats owed to my grandfather in law.. The bores of all the barrels were cleaned and polished as well. I am in the process of getting him around a Thank you gift. As it means a lot to me that he did this for me, as my life is hectic at the moment still lol.

Sorry, Forgot to take pictures of eeveyrthing. I recently machined brackets that would hold two lawn mower blades per spindle in 90degree "X" patterns under the mower deck, yes 6 blades spinning at once... The bottom is a high lift blade and on top of that is gator blades to help cut the very thick lush back yard I have, that normally needs double cutting as i can only cut it once a week at most usually.. When all 6 of these blades are sharp.. the lawn looks so amazing. I got to use it last night for the first time, The cut is so clean and crisp its unreal. I'm also going to take this out back into my 1/2 acre perennial food plot of alfalfa clovers and weeds to see how it does. It should do pretty darn good. It eats stuff up and spreads it finely instead of clumps and all. Helps mowing wet grass too!

Looks great! congrats

Happy Birthday Bob!

Guessing its a tow behind? Its not a sharpening issue. A bent axle will cause this, low tire pressure will cause this, bent blade will cause this, bad spindle bearings will cause this, deck adjustment all will cause this.. check each. Any play in your spindle bearings at all, replace them. they will make your cut get worse and worse. First of all id say you have a bent blade check those first. If so even slightly, buy new blades(full set), secondly check tire pressure, usually 10-15 lbs is all that's needed. Your bent axle can certainly make some of this issue. Then check your deck for level on a flat even paved surface.

Hornell walmart has several dozen boxes of 30-06 on the shelf right now. Core lokt and deer season ammo. You can check buds gun shop, gun broker, target sports usa, outdoor limited there are others that will as well. Just read the descriptions on Gun broker, there are a couple dealers that wont ship to NY. But most will.

Yes, in a fall blend the deer love it. I would use it again no doubt. just dont plant a monoculture of it. Utilize seed blends.

Hope the deer and chucks leave them alone for them to establish for you. a plot saver or a cheap gallagher fence(runs on D batteries) will help you if you can swing it. I used to use irish spring soap and pie tins hung about 12-18" from the ground to deter deer. Worked great for a few years. I now use the Cheap Gallagher Fence system. Best of luck!

I don't have the exacts of what happened, and I didn't want to ask and pry as the loss is still hard on the heart. With time I'm hoping it comes out. I know how hard it is discussing situations like this, as i lost my Dad suddenly and unexpectedly. I believe he was handling a handgun his father handed down, that was a bit on the wild side (extremely light trigger) I vaguely heard about this gun and it laid beside him on the floor when he was found. And all his other handguns laid out like he were cleaning them. Or possibly the gun was dropped and went off? Im not sure exactly. I dont suspect any intended gun play at all with him. He had an extreme desire to live and be free.

Just wanted to remind everyone and hope and pray your safe in all your endeavors, especially with your firearms. I have a good friend and coworker who worked 45 years as a tool maker, and just retired 4 weeks ago. Succumbed the other day to an accidental gun shot. He was a Sportsman, a firearm guru well aware of all things evil, A Die hard of Christian Faith and went out of his way to help anyone in need, whether they were right or wrong. A simple mistake or the decision to skip a step in terms of safety.. its not worth it. Treat every gun as if it is loaded, Is the saying. I know there's reasons and excuses for everything, he should have, he shouldn't have. They're not needed here.. Most Accidents can be prevented. I Just want to make sure you all stay safe.. He had children and grandchildren he was building "Castles" for and making big plans for.. as most all of us do.. I dont have the answers.. and I guess I don't really need them.. This is a community of well rounded folks like he, and myself.. and we all play with the same fun and express our amendments.. Stay Safe.. Dont jeopardize your safety..

There was a shooting in Charlseton on Wednesday night.. Guy open fired on a crowd at a graduation party with an AR.. Woman in the crowd legally carrying shot and killed the man before hurt anyone.. didnt hear about this on the news..

I'm quite saddened that I've only been able to cut my lawn once back in Early April, and The fact that a manicured look will probably not happen this year.. not now anyways.. Life has got me pulled in all directions.. So I taught my wife to cut the lawn.. and she actually enjoys it.. except she makes more work for me, with her 100mph ways and fishtails!! Oh well, if it makes her Happy. Trying to not be a bat sh!t crazy lawn guy like i used to.. I even let the kids ride all over it, Theyre only young once right? That old Exmark still earns its keep.. 3400hrs on a 2003 all original Kohler 27hp 60". Just replaced coils, main seals and gaskets this spring. Zero complaints. Cuts amazing still.

Plant a blend of field corn, sunflowers, Group 2-3 AG soybeans and Milo in the other 2 acres.. Without fertilizer.. Ears are ears in a wildlife food plot. Between the all 4 of those seeds, you should be able to pull some deer for sure, the blend should also pull attraction away from your monoculture corn plot..

Take our billions budget for the CIA on these filthy politicians and put the protection in our schools where it belongs.. And sit back and watch the politicians begin changing the way they do business.. it will change fast.. America and its citizens first!

I need some of that in my life!

There is a lot going on, Fishers are spreading their ranges, and yes there is lots of nest predators around due to little or zero trapping. I learned this year on a hunt that even owls are even an enemy of the turkey at night when their defenseless and during the day when they make their position known.. Turkeys are wanted in every direction. Then throw in a wet spring on a clutch or two that did hatch, survival drops more. When the hen stays on her nest all night long instead of a tree she's prone to predation.. The odds are not in favor for the birds.. and in low pop areas, they wont get better without our help.. Studies also show that if a hen doesn't have a successful hatch in the first couple years, she will typically never have a successful hatch. Ever notice hens nest in really obvious places? That's why, she doesn't know any better and predation is very likely to happen there.. she also typically stays in a small core area for several weeks until the poults can flee from danger .. meaning it really only takes a few acres to keep poults alive until old enough.. not hundreds of acres.. If we as sportsman can give better opportunity for these nesting hens to survive, by creating nesting and brooding habitat we are helping them survive and replenishing our future for the bird and our kids.. The state doesnt seem to be helping so we as sportsman and women should be doing our part where we can.. you cant wipe a population down during hunting season, not help them replenish and stay populated then complain about numbers and sightings in following seasons.. that's what makes one a sportsman.

All depend son the location it seems. I have three separate properties that we hunt regularly and one piece of it has pretty good numbers, but they aren't always there a couple stay and the rest make their rounds. Another property is literally zero, haven't heard but 1 mature bird and couple jakes. My camp property had a couple, we took one, and found the other yesterday.. but other than a couple jakes.. numbers are sure down. These properties are all within 4 miles or so.. and we will only take 1-2 birds on any of these properties for the next couple years.. The nests don't stand a chance, and the successful hatches don't have the best habitat to survive in either.. There really is a lot to it if you put in a little research. Usually only around 25% or less of the hen population will have a nest actually hatch, once they hatch the next 3 weeks are super critical for poult survival.. They require different habitat than the adults do, and especially deer. They have to survive avian predators, ground and nest predators as well us us humans and our pets.. they are on a struggle for sure. after all this your lucky to only have a hen or two that has poults, and then your lucky sometimes to only have a couple poults survive per hen by Fall.. Even in better populated areas a one bird limit would not be a bad idea.. Our future generation hunters count on this.. and The DEC doesn't seem to care much about it.. Go out west and the birds are literally everywhere!!
