Weekend equipment maintenece

Spring fencing time on the farm. I am adding cattle panels to my existing fence to make in more Coyote proof. It started as just barb wire, then over that, we added field fence, now the cattle panels. I built a jerry rig post driver and bolted it to my Bobcat loader. The ground here is brutal to drive by hand. Note the square tube over the post. That is to keep the loader from bending the post into a pretzel. I am adding a post between each existing post for more support.

We have this blow sand that makes sand dunes when it hits an obstruction. Thats why the dirt work in the corner. I did the biggest share with the loader then finished by hand. So now I have blisters from the shovel because my hands are soft Too much winter rest.

Good hard work! Calluses will come back on your hands. Work til they bleed a few times.

 

Need to put up a couple "coyote" towers. Could find you plenty of people to fill them and help with thinning them down.

 

Finaly got around to replacing the junky seat on the little JD. TSC universal seat that is not universal to JD, Lol. So, I made some mounts, turned out pretty good. Fore and aft adjustable suspension seat. No suspension on the old one.

My youngest son is driving my '01, so he detailed it, looks good. He also changed out the dash bezel with an aftermarket one, included the AC vents, it looks good too. Then he added a shifter mount exhaust brake switch. I wonder if is telling me something with all this work

I ordered a set of set covers from Geno's for it, that are in, so I will mail them down to him.

 

Had a clump of about 6 trees that were dying, so we cut them up today. I didn't want any stumps, so I pushed them over and smoothed out the area, looks good. If it works out, we will chip the limbs tomorrow.

Nick, your "01 is looking sharp and ready to work. Is the small unit/box behind the front seat on the floor with the blue front panel an Ozone generator?

 

Thanks Michael. Yes, ozone generator. He is cleaning out the smoke and dust. He was amazed at all the dust that was behind the bezel. All the off highway hauling I do. He even cleaned out the dust from the gauges.

He has had several Dodges over the years, with his '02 as his favorite. It was a six speed like this one. When the insurance and registration comes due, I will probably just give it to him. It needs a new owner. I kinda lost interest in it with my new truck but didn't want to sell it.
