Not the wood pile, but the splitter. We're going to build another wood splitter,so that we will have two on hand in case one breaks down. The I- beam we bought the other day along with the base plate for the beam. We have enough small scrap steel for the incidentals, such as hinge, log stop, pump bracket, drain coupling for the tank. Whats left is going to be little expensive, but not as expensive as buying a new under built log splitter, for anywhere from 9 to 1500.00 cost. Now that I got my eyes back, my welding should be more than passable. We have our 10 cord of wood that dried over the winter at the bottom of our property ready to cut.
We have to buy a new extra blade for the bandsaw and a couple wheels for the chopsaw,plus some new welding rods.
This year, we looked up our receipts for the one pictured it was a little over 1000.00,not counting our time. we split over 330 cord of wood with the one in the photo, and it's still as strong as ever. Like anything else as it gets older it will invariably break down,and we don't want to wait for parts to arrive while winter is arriving when we split.
We also ordered our new needle scaler for our tool list for taking flux off and rust removal. We just might be using the 706 IH for loading the wood into the truck this year.Depends on if it's cold so we can keep warm in the cab with the heater.
Our garden is coming along extremely well, but we have lost some seed and had to wire cage some plants that the chipmunks are pulling out the seed.This has been our first year using gro lux lights and starting our own plants. Our cherry trees came in,and the supply company said to wait one year before any fertilizer is applied.There was no dirt on the root package,so my son drilled four holes on our acreage and put them in the ground with compost and Miracle grow at the bottom of the hole. Put in some soil,then the tree,and would you believe the sticks have leaves on them already. Also same with our plum tree's and new peach tree along with the old peach tree and grapes. Surprising what survives -30 weather and comes back in the spring. Fun to watch things grow. Maybe next year there will be a duplication on the Troy bilt rear tine tiller. This is some interesting times for me at 80 come July 2nd, still above the dirt, and thank the Good Lord for the time. I hope everyones garden is doing good. Regards, LOU

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
