    I split some sugar maple branches on the hydro's, washed my car in the driveway, and researched where to test drive some trucks.

    Good morning Hoarders....:coffee:... with just these rain showers the last few days the grass is really starting to green up and grow. I drove around the yard with my aerator last night. Hopefully apply some fertilizer tonight to it.

    Pepsi going in, I must have woke up 20 times last night. Ugh. It's raining out so I don't know what I'll get to do today. Hopefully it will stop so I can do something outside. Weather guessers say it may end late morning.

    Good morning. lightly raining here. no walking this morning as we are going down island for shopping. Work went well yesterday with not too many hiccups. After lunch though, I wanted to stay home for a nap. Got used to doing that last week.

    Glad it helped. It could surprise you if the bearings weren't damaged. If you go and buy a new one the old one probably won't ever make another sound.

    That's the plan. Have a spare, and the original will never fail.

    We picked up one of these so we can clean some zerts out that aren't taking grease on a few things we own.

    It's an IPA Grease Joint Rejuvenator. We have a couple zerts on the tractor that just started not to accept grease.

    Yes, stopping at the Ford dealership tonight. As much as I want a new bike, a new truck makes more sense. I'll get the motor replaced in my bike.

    I'm curious as to your dealings on this. As it seems that you're pretty knowledgeable in this area...

    I've been looking at them too... but I'm about 1 to 3 years out yet, depends on a couple of things. I've read the last two bigger threads about trucks, learning.

    30 some years ago I bought a snowblower, about 20 years ago I bought a new 10hp engine for a spare. Around 12ish years ago just knowing that it could implode at any time I bought a commercial Ariens... Lights, on board electric start, power chute rotation ect.
    About 8 years ago I put a hydraulic plow on the loader.... Haven't touched a snowblower since. The engine is pretty dusty and the Ariens has never seen snow.
    If you ever meet my wife say something like "are you looking to buy a snowblower ?"......

    I'll be waiting for the 2018's. Then they all get the 10 sp auto. The 3.5 ecoboost is the only one with the 10sp now. I love the raptor, but not the mpg. The 5.0 and 2.7 eco boost get more power in addition to the 10 SPD tranny for 2018, which come out in fall of this year
