Maggie’s What's Your View II

Damn man, you're woods are 100 times cleaner than my yard at the moment. I'd gladly send you and inch or two of rain per day.
This shit is killing me. I've been trying to nuke my yard for 10 days now. The trend has been a downpour with 4-5 hours before the next downpour. So today I get out there about 45mins after the rain with a stronger concentrate to overcome a bit of the residual rain on the vegetation. I hosed that shit down like a mad man, using way more Round Up than necessary, hoping some would stick. Annnnnnnnd........ it started pouring again 15 minutes after I was done. FML.
Flat Fenders, baby!
Awesome Jeep.
Nothing like a flat fender. Early CJ or an MB? Looks like a CJ2A?
That's a fantastic project... but pretty great looking just like it sits!
Cheers,

Beautiful tractor restoration above! Fantastic!
Here's my view today. Got the mutt out to cruise around a bit If there is such a thing as a Jeep Glamour shot... I guess this is it!
Sold him something to get that address. So close to that Jeep I can smell it.
As it should
. Narrow (tricycle) front end, size over rears, and properly restored, they're a fine yard tractor. I grew up 12 miles south of Waterloo where those things rolled off the line like shit through a goose. When I retire, I'm going to farm "small" with vintage equipment from the 60's and 70's just to piss off all the local super farmers around here. No cabs allowed. First on my list will be a 5020 for spring and fall tillage.

We have a few "super farmers" in these parts.
Fucking comedy when you see 20 9560r/9r tractors coming down the road.
They usually run 15-20 680/690 combines as well.

^^^ Actually, that's not me! That's my best friend from growing up. We were inseparable as kids from elementary school until college. Have not gotten together with him in 5 years... and he was in town, so we did the parade. He still lives in NC.

Cool stuff. Do those mounted weapons systems have to be "deactivated ", made unserviceable, etc... for travel on public roads? Just curious. They would get a lot of "attention" here. I would think in your parts as well.
And don't forget the armada of Unverferth/Kinze 1200 bushel carts along with the fleet of tractor trailer rigs to keep product away from those high capacity combines.
What an OUTSTANDING way to spend the day. Hope you had a ton of fun. What was the most interesting thing you saw?
So many of my aviator friends and mentors had children who showed no more than a passing interest, despite their family owning a plane and their dads having combat time in their logbooks. A few of their kids kept up just enough interest to solo then dropped out of flying altogether. I have one Navy Captain friend (P2-V Neptune, P-3 Orion) who has one son who became an airline captain, and an Air America pilot friend (gone West) whose son flew F-16s in the Guard. The rest of them continued to fly actively in civilian life, but their kids just didn't have any interest. MY family had NO ONE who had any interest in flying, yet I was somehow struck with a love affair for old airplanes as a kid with no one to shepherd me. I would have KILLED for the opportunity those kids just took no interest in. My theory is that it just wasn't that "cool" to them because it was always there for their entire lives, and there was nothing new and exciting about it (plus, maybe a bit of rebellion, to go a different direction than their parents' interests).
One of these... but I didn't take a picture.
We were having fun with a piece of rope on the capstan winch winding it on and pulling it off and telling people that was how you pull-started it... like an old outboard motor. More believed us than didn't!
And no problem with live weapons on the roads.

One of my friends in the Coast Guard was at a station in NJ that still had 2 DUKW's, he said that he smacked the dock more than once while standing on the brake pedal.
It has often been said that the 4020 and 4440 tie for the best tractor JD ever made. As a result, I would like to have a 4020 one day, just because. I bet you love it.
4440 -Thanks for the compliment. The folks I bought it from kept it up well, and I've tried to even improve on that. I just did a complete restoration on our 2440 summer before last - engine, PTO drive, etc, and paint.
We need to see the 4020...[/QUOTE]
This old girl has been doing work for a while.
Would like to restore it one day.
Dunno why it is so small.

Yep. That's way cool.
They use them here in Mobile for tours at the USS Alabama park. It's on the list of things for me to do with my lady: http://www.gulfcoastducks.com/about/
We try to catch a Redsox game or two every summer. This was the first time for us to watch one in a dome, it'll sure spoil you watching a game while feeling the AC running.

I think you guys are thinking DUKWs.... these are SEEPs... Sea Jeeps. Amphibious Jeep. DUKW was built on a 6x6 chassis. This was built on a Jeep Chassis. It's smaller than a pickup truck.
Totally awesome!
Love the tractor pix!

Outstanding! We try to visit a new ballpark every year on our family vacation. This year was Coors Field for the Mets vs Rockies. Never been to Fenway, but it's on the list. Boston has always been one of my favorite teams. I miss watching Ortiz and Petey doesn't play as much as he ages. Red Sox vs Yankees tonight on Sunday night baseball.

Interesting. Didn't know that.
I KNEW somebody was going to pick him out, and you are ABSOLUTELY correct! EVERY shop. And they almost always go by a nickname. This one is "Cotton". Good guy though. He's too old to help, so I don't know if he'd have been worth having around back in his day.

In what is possibly the strangest combination ever, I share office space with a welding and machine shop.
They had a guy there who was 76 years old doing one arm pushups in the floor showing off to the young bucks. None of them could hang with him.
EVERY time he'd come in the office to to go to the bathroom he'd say to me, "Can you come and hold my dick so I don't have to wash my fucking hands?".
I kept a pair of needle-nosed pliers prepared to answer him.

My view from this past weekend. Installing some french drains.
When I was getting the pipe at Lowes, the guy that works plumbing asked if I needed any help. I said no, I had already found the sewer pipe that I needed for my sewer line. He said OK and went on. Probably a good thing that I didn't need his help.
