Got any cool tools lately?

A couple new tools I picked up. The zero turn came with the property and the club car carryall I bought on marketplace. The carryall has doors so the cab is sealed, heater, 4wd, dumpbed and a hitch. It's hard to start when it's cold so I need to take a look at the choke. I'm planning on adding a ladder rack and a winch.

You've probably seen these online, people have been making them all over YouTube and Instagram and everywhere else, but I decided to make one myself using a YouTube video as a guide. Pretty happy with the way it turned out. Should be able to handle at least 3/16 in stock... at least i'm hoping. If anybody wants to make their own, I can send you all the measurements. There's not much to it. I think I have 20 bucks in this and the only big boy tool you need is a good drill press or a real good drill and a steady hand for drilling the 5/8-in holes straight.

I still have my 1st Mac (IR) 1/2 pneumatic impact, 400 ft pd, purchased in 1986. Granted It got switch to home duty, in 91 when the Mac gun up spec-ted, to 600 ft remove. I mean 1/2 gun that could remove big truck lugs, what's not to like. I have a newer IR fiber body, but I don't think it's as good as my older units.
 
Even on a necked down 3/8 air line, this still has the guts to dimple 3/16”.

I use the newer Milton "V" connectors with all my pneumatic stuff, they have a lot higher flow in the connection at least. And the good thing is they will still allow you to plug in another tool that has the older I/M standard male connector on it.
 
Use to be my next door neighbor little vermeer backhoe . He sold it and i did not have the cash .

Well early this week it popped up on fb mp and i sealed the deal and got it back and paid around 1,500 less than he sold it for .

Someone before him moved the backhoe to the back after removing the trencher unit . She digs 5ft 6in in depth .

Has a DEUTZ diesel air cooled motor and sips ruel all day .

hope to make a few mods and enjoy it here . And big thanks to my old boss letting me use 1 of his new 4,600 mile rollback trucks .
