What did YOU do today?

[Rick W]

The riding mower got jealous of the Ranger and threw a fit when I tried to change the blades on it. The first one came off ok, but the second one was froze so tight that I accidentally unscrewed the pulley. The shaft fell out with the blade. So I had to pull the mower deck and fiddle with the inner spacers so that it would go back in. I even had to tap it a little. (Why did it slide out so easy?). I did notice that the pulley brake had jarred out of place, so I fixed that. Got the deck back together and the new blades installed. Just gotta flex out part of the deck where the blades are touching and throw it all together.

Not too bad for a twenty year old mower.

Some days are good days when you just end up where you started

Pretty sure I have 1” in 3/8”, might have some 1.25 or 1.5” long. I know I have some stubby button caps in 3/8” because I bought a pack just to use two on my farm tractor. I have the stainless rivet nuts too. Might put an order in for some more bolts soon too…

The mandrel fits and I found a drill bit.

The drawer slides fought me all day but they are installed in the box. They came with no hardware or instructions. So I had to figure it out myself. Being that I paid $0 for them, I'm not going to complain.

Continued my quest to clean up the shop some so I can breathe since a 22' long beast needs to get pulled in this weekend...

Last night I stuck my spare 1354M and 4406M T cases on a small HFT moving dolly and strapped them to it then hoisted them to the loft as a primer for todays shenanigan's... started off with the lightest engine of the 3 to get up there, the Camry 2.4L that's not healthy but in my way, ratchet strapped that to a HFT dolly and got it up there, the truck crane moved more than I wanted so I went in a couple holes and doubled the cable to the winch just to go slower and smoother before I got the two Lima's up there, that went just fine too but since I used the engine leveler to lift I had to use the hydraulic jack on the thing to get more height, everything actually worked! Since it was 10pm at that point I called it

Tomorrow I need to get my valve grinder up there and out of my way so I have access to that cart in case I need to rebuild a transmission here shortly...

I got rejected on a job application, and nothing else

Installed a leveling kit on the 24 ranger. I will put pics in the what did you do to you 19+ ranger thread though.

Other than that, almost died from heat exhaustion installing the kit. Humidity has it at 106

Practiced the fine art of turd polishing and buffed the micro camper so it stops turning me green every time I touch it. Anyone know of something I can put on it that protects from uv, so maybe it'll still have some paint on it in a couple years?
