    Todays shop time

    My son picked up a free Alpiner wood stove this weekend to replace a homemade one that is 25 years old, he had to relocate the smoke outlet to the top side and he wanted runners on the stove leg's. I used a carbon arc gouger to remove the outlet, works real good depending how steady one's hand...

    This was the first time I bought parts from Messick's, I usually buy from Coleman but they didn't have the springs. I notice this time at Messick's they gave shipping quote right up front, I complained about that 4 years ago, I dont like buy stuff without knowing shipping cost, sometimes that...

    My red-neck seat spring didn't last long, I know I was shocked to. All the ebay ones was for the BX and I thought a little pricy at $30.00. Now the $18.00 dollar question, use both new springs, just replace the one thats broke or buy a new tractor.........

    I went in the woods this morning and decided it was a bit to muddy so figured it was a good day to drop my skid plate and do a little cleaning, it had about 3 years of dirt on it. Theres 4>1/2" bolts on front and 4>5/8" bolts on back that hold it on, gives much needed protection in the woods...
