I like building stuff, fixing stuff, wrecking stuff, truck & tractor pulling, road trips, camping, gardening, hunting, even shenanigans and some tomfoolery- you name it- you're likely to find it here.
I never know what I might get myself into next - so you never know what you might see on this channel.
I want to encourage you to be active in your community in some significant way. Philanthropy comes in many different forms- I'll try to show you how to get out and do something nice for someone.
Pay it forward
Do random acts of kindness
I'll try my best to keep you entertained and I hope I can teach you some things and learn some things from you all as well.

Revisit the repaired gravestone 1 year later
In a former video I repaired this old gravestone from 1788. It’s my 5g grandmothers stone. It was laying in the dirt in a dozen pieces but I cleaned it and put it back together with epoxy. I infilled the cracks with epoxy and granite sand.
I went back to check on it and see how it’s doing.
Still standing and looks great.

Where do you find the the weather strip for the side windows at the horizontal section?
I can’t remember, but if you look thru the comments you will find where I gave it to someone else
@@towntinker is there a specific name to it ?
@@florganic9359 I think this is what you need Same stuff does the tailgate and the strip between the two windows centurydistributing.com/tsd57356.aspx
@@towntinker thank you. I liked and subscribed. Very helpful video !
Why do I feel like I’ve seen this video before😅. Just a big safe cracker enthusiast all the way in South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤. Hope to see more of these.
Wow really nice . Hope to see more of these . From South Africa 🇿🇦 ❤️ real fan of safe crackers.
Where can I find one of the magnets? And the sleeve that goes over the magnet.
@@kylelanagan8686 I bought mine online. Can’t remember where, but I’m sure a Polaris dealer would have them
It's looking good! I really enjoyed watching you do the repairs and resetting the stone. Hope to see more like that!
@@johnstiteler4088 thank you I’ll have a bunch more stone repair work coming up this fall. Once I get this darned bakery wagon finished up……
No doubt your 5G grandmother is smiling down upon her descendant.

Wow....nicely done. Glad to see it holding up well!!!!
@@scornell66 thanks I agree- I was a little nervous but let’s hope she’s back in it for the long haul now

Nice truck in the background
Thanks- that’s my square body- it’s in a lot of my videos. Sometimes it’s the topic
Good morning. Great video. I’m looking to boost my JD 330. Any suggestions? I recently purchased a Bolen HT20 with a Onan 20hp puller for my son. It’s a winter project for us.
I think the 330,s are around 50 cubic inches. Maybe a GT12 size turbo? It will need to be pretty small. And you’ll have to turn up the fuel. Have fun building that puller with your son- it’s a great time. I’ll be doing a stock tractor build video- but it will be a cub cadet, so maybe not much help on a Bolens Stay tuned
Thank you. I will checkout the GT12. I was thinking a GT15. But I am limited on space.
What size are the tires and wheels that is on the front of the red tractor beside it
I’d have to double check, but I thing they are 16”x8”
Build it into a seal coating rig
Should have got a cheap air compressor & a harbor freight paint gun then shoot Rustoleom enamel paint. 👍👍Nice job at any rate. 🫡👍
You have anymore of those hats?
Matter of fact I do
Are you freakin' INSANE?! 😠 You could start a Forest Fire by doing STUPID things like that!! 😡
Haha, we’ll yes- sorta, but there’s no chance of a forest fire where that was sitting
I hope to be able to come and pull this year. It always seems like I'm making hay the day of the pull
It’s always the middle of hay season
Jackie and Meaghan will be overjoyed!! Thank you.
I’m a slender fella if you need me to slide infront of the tank 🙋🏻♂️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Weeellllll it’s also sorta high for a little guy to reach……
Looks great! Especially like the fire extinguisher!
Looks great....I enjoy your "how to" videos because I do learn some things AND of course your sense of humor makes me laugh.....so thanks for all that!!!!
I’m glad someone enjoys it- the videos that is, I’m certain EVERYONE finds me hilarious. In a Dad joke sorta way
I did not see welding gloves? Welding helmet?
The safety police have arrived!!! Haha- just kidding, I appreciate your concern. Certainly wouldn’t weld without a helmet, but the gloves…… well maybe I would forget them.
The water truck is looking good. Things are creeping up on us quickly. Have a wonderful day today
Hurry up and get that tractor ready!
Those old tubes had tr150 valve stems which where hand bendable, they still make them and they are nice because you can bend the stem any angle you want.
Oh wow- I didn’t know that. Thanks
THAT TRAILER LOOKS AWESOME
Thanks It’s coming along
Very cool.
Green is perfect.
It's a Hartford/Argyle thing to do weird project. Always remember safety first 😂. That's a cool lantern. Great video my friend
I found 2 10 inch Chevy hub caps if you want them
Thanks Jason- they won’t work on these- but I’d happily take them for some future project
Those can definitely raise the anxiety levels! I’d like to see your ideas for the water truck! I may have some pipe to donate?!
That's how my father and grandfather showed me to do the lock ring rims years ago.
Nice video. What do you call the thin black weather stripping on the back tailgate section that hangs down and where did you get it? Thanks.
I don’t remember, but if you look thru the other comments you’ll find a link to the place I bought it from
AS a former gokart racer, I assume you have to use pump gas. Naturally in karts, that was the case but many went to great lengths to dump nitro. Many tracks dumped fuel from all carts into a tank and then fueled them asthey went out on the track. Like I said many went to great lengths to develop systems to "dump" nitro. That being said, what type of tech is used to monitor displacement, stroke, etc.?
Sorry for the delay- That’s interesting how they mixed all the fuel together. They use a pump to measure displacement on OHV engines but flatheads have to be torn down and measured
use the cut out piece to patch the lower door and then you're set
I was hoping- but it’s not quite big enough
Interesting. CZcams has been suggesting videos from people with small subscriber counts to me for roughly the last month, and today that was you.
Well thank you for the support
I have a 616 allis chalmers mower i got for 50 dollars it was going to be scrapped and i offered the guy 50 j couldn't see it be scrapped so i messed with the wiring and switch and solenoid to make sure it was all good and found out that the starter was bad and replace it now it runs with a new starter and carburetor i am 18 years old and i am going to mow lawns for some money, I am country and own 4 other tractor a 1951 44 massey Harris and a 1956 861 ford power Master and a 1954 allis chalmers wd45 and a 1950 u Minneapolis Moline .
