And what happened to John's welder? I need to borrow it.-LOL Glad to have someone "responsible"(?) in charge of the tools. OH- and how is the "tin-foil beanie" sales coming?

I have lost part of the set over the years and would like to find another set. Handy devils, they are.

Ya know, On second thought I think I'll just use some "baling wire and JB Weld". But, thanks for the offer of the loan.

That John is a good guy, letting my borrow his Miller 251 Mig welder, said to keep it as long as I need it......
If things go right I might get my first tractor done this weekend so I can haul it to the painter's shop. Then I can finish the 50 JD major overhaul. I'd like to take some time to get started on the 51, but I think I will get another tractor in--the tractors pay$$$$--the 51 does not.
If you see a 1/2" Mac combo wrench laying around, it is mine, OK. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2000 Posts: 2,773 | Kentucky socket set? Is it like an Arkansas socket set that has a round hole in one end and a knurled worm gear on the other? Carl, be sure to put that welder back when you're through (next year). If you don't we'll have to post an ad here so John can buy a new one.  I heard you have to do 50 Marine pushups to borrow the plasma cutter. Guess I'll have to buy my own, cuz I'm a wimp.
