That only makes me appreciate the temperate weather in KY that much more.  Don't have to shovel rain.

We're getting summer weather here so spent the day up on the river.

Stopped to make a coffee and may have enjoyed it with an American veteran. Not sure if this is a memorial or maybe where his ashes are.

If so he has a nice view. This is the point where we found him.

Love that first picture. It'd make a great jig saw puzzle.

I envy you Greg, I spent a gazillion hours building a wood-strip canoe about 8 years ago and have very limited places here to use it, our rivers are more suited to those horrible plastic 'sit-on-top' things which have become ubiquitous in the past few years. One of these days I hope to make it to Canada, if I ever do, a paddling trip will be on the essential list.

RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - f350ca - 09-19-2017

I intended to build a cedar strip canoe last winter Pete. They're gorgeous, but thus aluminum one came up on auction and I jumped at it. For this stretch of river aluminum is the answer, I tag a log or rock almost every trip.
If you ever make it over get in touch,

I made a fair start on the tractor overhaul. One thing leads to another, I had to repair my mig welder so I could make a pair of splitting stands, they worked like a charm rolling the front end away with the engine cantilevered off the front subframe.

Took a few hours to get to this stage, having a loader on the tractor sure makes splitting it a big job.

I'm hoping I can chuck the flywheel in the lathe to face it, it's crazed pretty badly. A few other machining jobs to do on it, bushes here and there. I've been trawling the scrap yards for a suitable piece of plate to fabricate a new loader bucket, no luck yet. If I have to buy the steel from a merchant I'll be patching the old bucket.
As well as the clutch, I've got a new hydraulic pump to go in it, going to strip down the 3-point lift business as well, I'll be learning on the go there. New radiator and water pump, have to overhaul the power steering unit, I'm thinking of giving it a set of rings & bearings while I've got it in bits.

Good work! I assume Ford, but which model ?

RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - Pete O - 09-29-2017

It's a 4100, somewhere around 1965.

RE: Todays Project - What did you do today? - awemawson - 09-29-2017

Ah - I have a 4000 and a 4600 but not come across a 4100 in the flesh so to speak !
