I feel that can brag about my deal of the year since it's home now, all in for $500. He was kind enough to consider me 1st dibs with my phone call. Told me his phone and email were blowing up...no kidding.

Time to start reading up on the beast, oil the motor shafts and clean the slide rails. I can't believe that I got this lucky!

:hello: I bought some more AR/M4 tools for building AR/M4s. Wheeler Engineering Delta AR/M4 armorers vise. $54. Real Avid AR/M4 bench block. $27. Real Avid gun boss AR/M4 cleaning kit. $23. The bench block jig is for putting uppers, lowers, sights and bolts together. All 3 came from www.sportsmanguide.com . The vise is top notch. The block jig keeps AR/M4 parts in place well installing pins, springs and such. 20210303_105937[1].jpg 20210303_111118[1].jpg 20210303_111516[1].jpg 20210303_104636[1].jpg 20210303_105358[1].jpg

Learned about a 3 point hitch today. My new tool got dirty, now it matches my BX. Well, maybe it didn't get that dirty...lol.

I watched some videos and drug the driveway. It had some major ruts and was a mud slick after this winter. It re-grades pretty good and the drive should shed water better now. It's amazing how the gravel comes back up to the surface. I will run in the driveway for a week or two then get some more gravel.

The changeover from hoe to 3PT is pretty straightforward but it will be much easier once there is a level paved area. Had to put the hoe back on because one of the cats gave up on its 9th life today and I needed to dig a hole for the old fella.
 
It finally showed up! You will enjoy that as well. Do both side arms of your 3 point hitch have a crank adjustment? Even with one you can do some detailed slope work whether its on a bank or a driveway. Very handy tool.
 
Yup, finally here after 3 months wait.
One arm has the adjustment on mine but it puts the tilt on pretty quickly in either direction. A little fiddling with the top link and side link and finding the right speed all play a part. I had the rippers at the highest setting and took more passes. When the box fills up she looses traction, I'm glad I went with the 48" instead of the 54".

RJ, the box blade operates off of the 3 point hitch.
 
:hello: Here in FL a box blade works great in the soft sandy soil. I was able to level my side yard rather easily. I pulled about a foot of top soil from the front to the back. I spent about 3 days leveling.

Some new bike specific Pit-Posse tools. No more burning hands under the carbs or tap tap tight on the steering stem nut. Doesn't feel like the highest quality but I'm sure they will geter done.

:hello: For some reason I have 4 steering stem wrenches. Not sure where they all came from. Is that one tool for adjusting carbs enriching screws. I see it has different size scocket heads. How much was it and where did you get it. What is it called.

Mine works good, it's from a bicycle shop early 80's I'd guess, only has 1 screw but is the same thing.
 
:hello: I've been looking for an electric hoist for my wife's Mother Helen. For the so called medical ones they are asking between $700 and $2500 and they take up too much room. We'd have to move her out to our living room in order to use one. So I got creative and bought a $100 Harbor Freight ceiling mount electric hoist. After shes gone I'll mount it in my shed mostly for lifting the front end of bikes. ________________________________ 20210425_101034[1].jpg 20210425_100747[1].jpg 20210425_100809[1].jpg 20210425_101003[1].jpg

You going to hook it to a hammock to move her from her chair to the bed? I know it takes some maneuvers to get them moved around without hurting them.
