3/8" and under wire rope only needs 2 clamps for a std eye to be put in. We normally have crimp clamps for 1/4" and under. Way more streamline then the clamps.

This is while the corn is still on the stalk.
Thursday night my wife,and I are watching a movie. All of a sudden we hear a loud thud. My wife says, I think somebody hit our stone wall again. We open window and see cars stopping in both directions. I figured somebody hit a deer. I run out to see what is going on. This tree had fallen across the entire road blocking traffic in both directions. I cranked up my tractor and pushed it out of the road. The tree was a hollow Ash. The roots rotted out and it let go. We were going to take this down in the Fall. I'm glad nobody got hit by that tree. I just measured the base of the tree. It is 30" wide 12" up from the top of the roots. My tractor which will lift 2400 pounds couldn't lift it. The bottom is not hollow like the top.

My neighbor called me one morning, and asked me if I wanted to buy an anvil, he said "I need some money and I want 10 dollars for it, come over and look at it". He kept insisting that I come look at it and as I liked the guy, I said OK.
Anyway, when I got there, this is what he had,
It sure isn't an anvil, but he needed some money for something, and it was only 10 dollars, so I brought it home. I guess the Crapsman vise on it is worth that much, as it works fine,

Good morning guys.
Yesterday was an emotional day, but in a good way.
23 years ago, I sold my dad’s fishing boat shortly after his passing as I didn’t use it and wanted a different type of fishing boat. I always regretted it after a few years. I knew the fellow that I sold it to, and had mentioned to him several times if he’d ever be interested in selling, I’d be interested in buying. He never answered me.
Yesterday he sent me a message and said that if I want the boat I could have it back.
The main motor needs some work and the lights need to be rewired. Otherwise, it’s virtually as it was when I sold it.

You know you could clean that vise up, paint it and get a helluva lot more than $10 for it. That was a steal and you did a good deed for the guy.My neighbor called me one morning, and asked me if I wanted to buy an anvil, he said "I need some money and I want 10 dollars for it, come over and look at it".

You guys are really "makin' hay" with these puns!
Ya I think he needs to clamp down on this habit before he has to tighten up his belt from spending too much on them. Might say he needs to get a grip on this situation!could having too many vises, be a vise?
Was sitting on a tree bank, had been there long enough the grass under it was dead.
Changed crankcase oil, set the valves, washed the air filter, added gas, untangled the trimmer line spool, set the idle, and trimmed my 2 acre lot with it. Poulan S430 with a quick change shaft for saw blade and rototiller (didn't have those). Currently selling for $300 at home dumpoff.
Looks like it's hardly been used.

I told the guy I'm mowing for, "you really need full-time grounds keeper up here", HE thinks about it for a moment and then says "ok, I promote you to grounds keeper, what time will you be here tomorrow". lol lolAnd this is how you get mow money

Do you think someone couldn't get it started and threw it there in disgust? Or put it down and then forgot where they left it?
Nicer small town neighborhood, 1/4 acre lots, out at the curb, Thought mebby they bought a replacement battery trimmer and city wouldn't take this with the trash pick up, but don't really know.
Scrounge alert: just received a text from my new best friend's best friend saying that he cut up some of the large chunks into manageable sizes and had a couple more loads available. I'll try to get that and update later this week. This scrounge alert was brought to you by Craigslist. Now loaded with the same scams as FB Marketplace, but without having to pretend that you know and like people.

Today was wood scrounging day, and a guy a couple miles from here cut some tree's down for his grandma and piled much of it up. He told my buddy we could have it, just come get it so today we did.
I would drive into the pile with my pallet forks and grapple a load,
Then drive over to my wagon and dump it in. My buddy and his son stacked it in the best they could while I went for another load. I even got three saw logs that were there, they aren't great, but they were FREE,
I think we did pretty good!
That was one heavy SOB to pull home!!

You guys are crazy! Way too hot to cut wood right now.
I rewired my snowmobile trailer and converted my remaining two 1 7/8 inch trailers to 2 inch so everything I own fits the same ball. Also tried to put a new ignition module in my Ford but the stupid Ford engineers decided you need a special tool to put the tiny bolt in as a regular socket is too shallow or too thick.
