Oh, it only weighs 850 pounds. One inch plate on the door and 1/2 inch plate every where else.

Don't worry my JD 318 is not charging either. But, I think I know why. Has some thing to do with the two piece rod on one side. My other JD's still charge, 265, X500, and X540, so I have hope for you.Morning all y'all!

In order of appearance: the shack I refer to as my cabin, my shop, JD 650 tractor currently not charging the battery, my 0-turn currently not charging the battery, and above my wood pile is my Polaris ACE currently not charging the battery. Does anyone notice a recurring theme?
That JD 650 was one heck of a little tractor back in 89 @ almost $10,000. I bought a brand new 318 in 89 and it was right at $6,000.

That two piece rod sounds a little underwhelming. My 650 is and 84. Since it's diesel it doesn't need much power when its running. Sure needs it for the starter and glow plugs tho.
What's up bud.
Many of the huskys you can buy soft or harder AV for. You'll need to either talk with a good dealer who can set you up with some, or start looking at the IPL for them to see what's available.
If that's a 2157/59 then the 357/59 parts should fit it, and you may have better luck finding those parts over the jred parts.
Hope you can find what you need.

Were you up anywhere close to the Dusy Ershim jeep trail ?
Took my dad through the Dusy back around 1987.
I have yet to explore the Swamp Lake ohv trail.
This was the Spanish Lake Trail, although the trail hasn’t gone all the way to the lake since 1984. Wilderness cut it off. It’s kinda close to Dusy, you pass within eight miles of the trailhead. Also I’m the one that scouts Dusy on foot every year before vehicles are allowed in to clear it, I did that a little over a week ago. It’s kind of a mild year for that trail, pretty easy compared to Spanish this year. I’ve done all of the trails on the district, some many times.

Little over half a tank two Saturdays ago.
Best I saw it today was 4.60, many others were at 4.59.
Burned a lot of "fuel" up in the last 3 days.
Though this picture was pretty cool.

It’s about $2 more here.

Finally did some splitting with the wife. We have a long way to go before Fall though.
Yeah, it looks like you'll need a bit more than that for this winter
.What drone is that, it looks to do a nice job. How far out/up will it go.

Yes, WAY more than "a bit", but we'll get it done! The drone is a DJI Air 2S. I like it a lot. Legally, drones are only allowed to fly up to 400' above ground level. Because I believe manned aircraft are required to stay above 500', which gives a 100' cushion. I'm not positive though, I'm strictly a novice at flying the drone. Legally, you're also supposed to only fly it as far as the eye can see. But I think according to the specs, I think it will fly up to 8 miles away from wherever the controller is, and still be in range.Yeah, it looks like you'll need a bit more than that for this winter

Hey fellas's sorry I haven't been keeping in touch lately. Ive been pretty busy but I'll catch up with you guys soon!
In the meantime. Check out some cool pics... 60" Spider Carrot Spruce 
74" Sitka Meadow Monster
This is the top of the Meadow Monster stump with the Carrot Spider Spruce in background and bear bead by the stump!
Very fresh bear bead by Carrot Spider's stump! The bear was sleeping under this Spruce the day before I cut it! 
Notice the three different piles of bear scat under the saw bar! 
74" Meadow Monster stump. I Had to cut steps in the root swell and I was Stihl running the saw above my head while facing up this brute!
Got some decent scale out of this five footer 
Cut safe, stay sharp, and be aware!

Before you went you were wondering if you still had “it’, well? Looks like you do.

Looked it up and it said 7.5 miles away
.Think I need one of those, now I know what to look for on craigslist, they ain't cheap, but I am
.Brett amazing what all they'll do, and the fact that they will do their best not to run into anything is a big plus for me
, and the return to home feature is also nice.501Maico
