What vintage are you guys thinking? Like 2000s? Try to get close as i can to 50hp? With the 3 pt pto, are they universal or brand specific?

Yep, i want to know too much about tractors. Im thinking small, old as possible, cheap as possible and i need it to be able to lift a pallet of sod or bricks. Ill want a bucket and if it can also be like a clamshell or grapple whatever you call it. Forks, probably make a custom boom to lift...

Thank you very much. I think we spotted a house in millbrook(name seems familiar). Thats what started the question. Ill def check out those areas. I only excluded south because i figure it was gonna be like south georgia/ north Florida- flat. Bleh. Rolling hills with mountain views is prob...

Anybody that lives, has lived or is otherwise familiar with Alabama im looking for sone info. Mainly the northern part or even north east. What to know about living there. Florida is just not the place i want to retire, im thinking about 5+acres, doing some garden and livestock. Chickens for...

The check valves are good, the small ones are also good, not lifted. Carb sync, didn't mess with it. Pulled it. Looked at it mounted but didnt feeler gauge it. If its off its ever so slight. Its not missing on a cylinder, i can check spark tomorrow with the light testing tool. Waterbox was...

Well, thats probably not it. Suction only, on a positive note the garage is fumigated and the ac is hard at work doing the rest of the house since the air handler is in the garage. Wifes gonna be mad. Next? I got parts, i got tools. I got no brains. Not sure if it helps but with the flame...

Hasnt made it to the water yet as it didnt seem able to rev much off of idle. Ill check as you suggested, thats stupid easy. And thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.

Its been so long since ive ridden and i have other skis that seem to have been neglected for over a decade. Time moves funny. Ive probably forgotten more than i remember other than how stuff goes together. And i wasn't that great at tuning before! So, trying to fix up a second ski cause one...

Complete setup with mounts, oring, inner and outer hoses, ECWI and instructions. This has been stored in the box shipped to me by the original owner since 2012. This needs a new owner that will actually use it. It looks barely used but does have some scratches on the motor side and at the...

On your other hull are you running a +1 ride plate? The wide rails are another ride tuning feature to counterbalance the shorter hull. Looks like you took the opposite direction and cut off what I worked hard to install and ignored the part that was intended to be cut. But it's your hull and...

Oh and Tim, that's a 2 inch extended ride plate. That was the whole point of making the hull shorter so you could shorten the hull by shortening the plate to whatever suits your ride preference.

In the past on the screw on tubbies I used thickened epoxy in addition to countersunk stainless steel screws. For an extra measure you might want a thin layer of cloth over onto the hull. Mine have been on forever without the layer of cloth but there is a crack between them and the hull. The...

So I've had a conversation that got me thinking. When I pump swap an fx1 there is a marked improvement. On the first hull made the owner had a spacer made and set the pump back to be able to use the sj driveshaft. I've ridden both hulls. But not back to back. I'm barely a rider so it...

Well I just woke up an hour before dawn, not because of an alarm. No, because I'm old. Not w.f.o. old but I'm spending a large amount of time thinking about mortality. Some, sorry, most of you know what I'm talking about. I recognize almost ALL of your names. Once again I was not invited to...
