Have wanted one since 1996!

Has he officially released a statement that he retired? Or just some speculation from teammates after the game?

Arthur Anderson just off Charlevoix…looks like she is headed to Little Traverse Bay.

 

When footers are hiding at the Apostle Islands, it’s rough out there! I count 3 boats moving on all of the Great Lakes, rest are hiding.

1 to 2 psi high from door jam sticker.  Instead of 42 psi on the door jam I run 43-44 typically.  I run 3 peak all season all year round.  It’s just a long range model 3 and not a performance.   Even though it out performs most anything on the road I don’t need performance tires.  Tires are about 10 months old and car is only used for long trips. In excess of 400 miles in a sitting.  Rarely drive my tesla local unless the wife is at work which If she isn’t at work I will use the Rivian.

You have an R1S or R1T?

Back to F1. Who's the better driver in equal equipment? Hamilton, Schumacher, Max (because I can't spell his last name) or Vettel?

Go.....

I gotta go with Michael. He did some amazing things in an F1 car back when they sounded freaking awesome.

Schumacher tops the list for me. Senna, Prost make the list. A guy who only won one title, but I greatly enjoyed watching was Nigel Mansell. I don’t watch as much F1 since Schumacher retired, so can’t comment on Hamilton.

My Honda mower is the BOMB...quiet, powerful, great bagger, will fucking idle if I let go of the handle to move a stick. Composite deck.

Unfortunately for Honda, it will last forever. 

My Honda Snowblower is a fantastic tool as well! I wouldn’t be surprised to see them exit that market as well. Honda makes fantastic engines.

What you're seeing is the snowblower side. The tractor side is longer and has a splined end  with a mounting kit to stabilize it as is goes through the steering linkage. The shaft that came with mine has ujoints at both ends is a solid 18inches too short. I already know the correct part number I need, Im just waiting for confirmation on whether I can buy the mounting kit separate.

What tractor did this blower come off of? Guessing a 4wd machine if it’s18 inches short.

I was hoping to find the mounting kit sold separately. From what your saying thats not an option?

So is the driveshaft incorrect? Is the blower from a 4wd machine? You can piece together parts if needed, but often cheaper to buy the whole kit. I can help find the part #’s for the brackets, bolts, etc, but need to know exactly what isn’t correct. Looking for the yellow bracket in the picture?

As I understand it I need the entire kit you show as BM25304 is the drive shaft and the kit you posted. I cant find the axel alone on Ebay. The price my local dealer quoted for BM25304 was 450$. I know thats inline with most dealers but still.

So you just want the driveshaft without the attaching hardware? If so, part # AM145723 is what you need. But it’s $868.64. You can buy the whole kit for $456.89. So I’d buy the kit! 

#8 or #10?

I sell Deere equipment, so let me know if I can help.

Had a big freighter anchored in chequamegon bay hiding from the wind this morning. I've only seen that happen 3 or 4 times in the 10 yrs I've lived here.

The sister ship to the Edmunds Fitzgerald is still going strong. SS Arthur M. Anderson. the Arthur M. Anderson, arriving in Duluth, Minnesota on the evening of June 28, 2020.

Not a sister ship. Fitzgerald’s sister ship was the Arthur B Homer. Fitzgerald was launched in 1958.  Anderson was launched in 1952 as 1 of 8 AAA boats. I’m a bit of a boatnerd.

Macdon had royally fucked up deliveries too 

It’s all manufacturers. They are all using allocation now to try and ensure delivery for the various seasons. Only so many companies can make hydraulic fittings, bearings, tires, tracks, etc. So I don’t care if it’s green, red, blue, yellow, black, etc, they all use the same suppliers. Tracks are a big limiting factor for combine and tractor delivery currently.

Has mother deere came back on you to cancel deals yet?

Personally no, but we have district sales managers who tell each district what our allocation is for combines, planters, tillage, etc. 7 and 9 series tractors were all delayed 2-6 weeks this week. I rarely see things arrive sooner than anticipated. I have a corn head originally slated for sept delivery. Currently has a delivery date of November 24. So that doesn’t do much good. 

I sell Deere Ag equipment, and things are continuing to get worse. Factory delivery dates for tractors and harvest goods continue to get pushed farther away. We still have planters and field cultivators that were ordered in 2021 for spring 2022, not here. Along with price increases multiple times a year, smaller discounts for early order programs and high interest rates, it’s been an interesting year.

How many years at big brown?
