I've had a little HF flux welder for a few years, but never really did much with it. Finally decided to make a little 3pt "carryall" with some of the scrap metal that we found when we cleaned up our old homestead. I confess I had no idea what I was doing, no idea I was welding stuff way bigger...

We've always had good success getting some newspaper wet, dipping it in ash and scrubbing for a bit on the glass.

Can't imagine spending 200 on a pair of pants, but I don't make money with shop work either... I used to just rotate through Roundhouse Jeans. Daily wear - outside/shop wear - rags. But my wife found a big box of twelve almost brand new pairs of Duluth Fire hose flex... 120 bucks for the box...

Used to do some work with Carlstar/Carlisle on their import/export side of things. 170 shipped is a good price :)

I've got fond memories of taking my dad's identical Suzi 5spd into the Black Hills and cruising some pretty nasty forest roads with it. Near stock, just some good AT tires, and a shovel and come along in the back. They're fun little "trucklets", pretty simple to work on too.

Sign me up.

My father is the man responsible for my desire for SK tools in the first place... Fitting that there should be a giveaway for them on Father's day. I'm in!

You north of the river or south? These days, I'm close enough to Jamesport that most of the barns and shops are Amish built. When I lived down in Smithville, I heard good things about Boss Sheds though. I imagine they probably do all of KC.

That's a nice score, especially for $150, looks ready to go to work. I just finished "restoring" my grandpa's old 1968 Horse. Replaced the old and tired Tecumseh with the same HF special engine you've got on yours, new belts and tires. No tiller for the tractor yet, so it did a lot of work this...
