Well, yes, it did crack me up. But not for the reason you think. It reminded me of a friend who left a shop rag in his motorhome's automatic trans pan. You got off easy. Could those rings be gaskets for the air cleaner lid?

Today, which turned out to be a complete and utter waste of time (whoda thunk, I was only driving two hours each way to a Govt. office) I found myself listening to blues on the radio - to cheer me up.

There are so few things electrical that I would like to remain functional - starter, gauges, work lights front and rear, and the high rpm switch - that I'm willing to take the chance. If something doesn't work afterwards, it'd be easy enough to run new wiring/switches for it.

If only I had the time to go get them, I'd gladly pay $200 for the two least worst ones. Being able to go get some little part in the yard as the need arises can be priceless. Surely they haven't managed to destroy everything on them.

Okay, so that's what I saw a little higher up on the back of the battery box, a shunt. Makes sense, with two cables and two wires on it. Well, if it isn't needed, it might as well be eliminated. Every connection is a potential trouble spot, and at best, a slight drop in voltage. What's in the...

In all fairness, it does say "Mutilation not required" in the description. Somewhat along the same lines, since today has been an unusually crappy day, I decided to let my brain cell do a little work as the body wasn't willing. Thought about the earlier tilting-the-cab question in order to get...

Just got this email from General Hood; "I'm at ICU with my granddaughter. things don't look good. Tell the guys I'd appreciate thoughts and prayers in her behalf" This sure has turned into a somber day.

Mark, that quick attach adapter started life as a Titan adapter, and there are photos a few pages back. But to be specific, the parts used were primarily the adapter, tape measure, torch, MIG, Magic Markers, and angle grinders. Can't say that any attachments have been used regularly yet since I...

An odd coincidence? Earlier today I thought about removing the cab. Not tilting it, but removing it. It would help immensely with access to all kinds of things and improve visibility greatly. Yeah, it would be less pleasant in wind driven rain and when it's really cold, but that might be a...

I'm guessing that it was for the Russian's missiles, since I've never had much luck with protecting, freeing, or much of anything except removing bug splatter, with WD-40.

Hmm, sharing those operator deficiencies, you just gave me another idea (thanks a lot, Mark, I have more than enough to do as it is). Since I'm halfway through running hydraulic hoses from the rear to the loader already, why not add a small pair for a cylinder for a clamp, too? Although, the...

Are you insinuating that I should remove the key and battery switch key...and even lock the doors?!? Nah, if the rats can figure out how to start a SEE, they can have it. And speaking of having, today the major parts for the erector set that will become a roof extension on the garage arrived...

Those are called PAR 33 lights, if memory serves me, and I really like the idea of turning the worklights into headlights. They may be a bit over legal height, but unlike the regular headlights they could actually be useful since the light wouldn't have to try penetrating loader arms, hoses, and...

I've wondered about that, too, not wanting to potentially waste half a can. As I recall, it's supposed to seal up when removed, but... In the SEE there's usually a pleasant whiff of ether every time it's started, so it may have the rare fully automatic option. Then again, it often smells of...

If things get that bad, I'm expecting to have to surrender not just the second ripper, but the SEE it came in, too. And dozens of other possessions. Lucked out big time on the first one as it came with pretty much everything, the second one had only a lonely ripper. Neither HMMH had anything...

So that's where the ripper is supposed to live? Mine were both laying loose in the rear box. Switched indicator lights between the PTO and 4WD must be common. Mine's like that, too, but since it's very rare that I run the light switch with anything turned on, it doesn't bother me. Easier to...

Ah, that looks like the kind of pivoting winch mount I had in mind. Maybe a project for next year, but I'll likely mount the winch on the vehicle itself, then use a snatch block on the bucket - or crane, if it ends up on the HMMH.

You're asking the wrong guy, Ahab. To me they're simply "deer". Something the cats like to stalk.

The easy way to make LED lighting work on a Ram is to order the VSIM. Aside from allowing LED use, there's wig-wag functions for head and taillights and a whole lot (well over 100) other useful, somewhat useful, and useless (to me) functions available. A bit late for you, but the last three I...

Maybe wildlife likes 7,500 feet? That happens to be the elevation where I live, too. And I like it. One thing I learned to dislike today is trying to run 3/4-inch hydraulic hose under a SEE, the length of it, rear to front. Every time I thought I had a decent routing through all the stuff...
