That's Mr Asshole to you
If you need to offload 1 of your 3 impacts or 1 of your 12 angle grinders I can find a place in my tool box.

Some stuff came together this month, so as a present to myself for all my hard work, I ordered a Modlite PLH-V2 as a handheld light. This is Modlite's version #2 of their PLH light head line. The light head has a more focused center beam with a large wash surrounding the beam. The beam isn't as intense as their OKW light but it's great for a handheld.

I also picked up the Thyrm 2.0 ring & clip for it as well. Makes it easier to pull the flashlight out of your pocket. I also use it to hold onto the light when I go on morning runs. However, I still think the circle finger ring is way too large and could be made smaller so it would fit into pockets better. It's taken a little while but I've gotten used to carrying it around.

I'm really digging this light right now because it also doubles as a weapon. If someone shines this light into your face, you'll be blinded for awhile as it's like looking at the sun lol It's also pretty hefty if you wanted to smack somebody with it as well.

Drug the disc out, the one I brought home from the ranch back in January, pressure washed it, greased all the zerks/axle housings, 3 tubes of grease later and I noticed that 2 of the axle housings(clam shells) were installed wrong, I have owned this for ~15yrs and just realized that.
On disc/harrows all the zerks should be facing the rear, as you pull the disc, you don’t want debris breaking off the zerks. Flipped the axle clam housings 180* and then regressed them again. Also since this tractor has the 3pt quick release, I had to change out the lift pins to the larger pins.

I really wish I had this up in running before I did my Victory garden area a month ago, oh well.

Three test paths near my Victory Garden, the real test will be on the 7acs down the road from me, neighbor wants me manage her property for her horses, it needs a lot of work.

Made me a new battery carrying handle. Hope to try it out in the morning. I thought copper would have looked better but this unanodized aluminum was all I had.

Maybe the saw dust bag??

Somethings eating that saw from within. Look at the miter guide slot - it's chewing itself up. Little yellow plastic shards from it are sitting on the fence. Never seen that in all my life and Ive broken more than a couple miter saws lol

Maybe a loose blade?


Whatever it is - stop using it till you fully inspect it. Somethings seriously wrong IMHO ~ Nothing should be breaking the slot plastic let alone chewing it up and spitting it out like that.

I think you're looking at the picture wrong, or maybe its a poor picture. That piece you circled is not from the deck.

whatever it is it should not be there (part labeled fubar) so I'd give it a good once over especially if other parts are coming off. May be an offcut trapped under the miter slot?

Is the miter gauge clicking in fine? That spring maybe one of the stops that got "moved" when that offcut hit it. IDK man, thats my best guess and I worked on DeWalt miter saws for more than a few years cutting on them every M-F for 8+hrs a day.
