Work work work for me. This work weekend is extra rough. Started work at 5am, worked during breaks and lunch on a project, worked on it more after I got off at 3:30 and just got home at 7:30.
They got a new machine in and I volunteered to take the huge crate away, plus the small one. Base of the big one is 8’ x 10.5’ — basically a big heavy pallet and is now sitting on the frame of my 2 ton truck. Plan to put as many 1950-53 Chevy truck body parts on it as O can fit. Fenders, doors, bumpers etc. Part of general clean up around here.
Crates are 8’ tall too so there’s metric versions of 2x4s with plywood on them. I’m guessing 8mm plywood.
All of these crates from a Japanese machine company have a steel frame inside. Someone already got that and the one before and the one before that. I’m taking the wood from this one to get brownie points so I can call dibs on the next steel frame. Also helps that I just made it 1 year here so I’m evidently a keeper. I’ll make use of the wood of course.
Maters are doing good. Taters are doing good. Tractor is doing good but I just had the mower deck belt break so I need 1 or more.
My twins, the riding mowers, have mower deck issues. Three blade spindles plus two idler pulleys and all buy one spindle are locked up. Need new fuel hose from tank to carb and the tank is on the back while the engine is up front. The routing of that fuel line is not obvious and the tank is enclosed in the heavy sheet metal backend.
You HAVE been busy! I love hearing about a good ‘clean up.’ Wish I could get some of the junk vehicles out of here, but at least they’re mostly out of my sight line. ;)
You know, you paid a good $100 dollars for a truck back in the 80’s and even if it no longer runs and has wasps and critters living in it, you still obviously haven’t gotten your $100 worth out of it, so you’d better hang on to it!
