It's hard to believe that it has been seventy years since the attack on Pearl Harbor. My wife visited Hawaii a few years ago to visit her brother before he went to Iraq. I was not able to go, but I asked her to visit Pearl Harbor and take pictures for me. She took a lot of pictures but this...

Let's hear some ways to shake pecans. We put cones on our trees made out of sheet metal to keep the squirrels out. We can't wait on the pecans to fall on their own because the squirrels will beat us to them. Dad used to have me climb the trees and shake them when I was a kid. Thirty years...

I have a 6.5 hp B & S engine on a push mower. I am not sure of the correct term for this, but the engine has what I call auto-throttle. There is no choke or speed lever, just the priming bulb. Throttle is automatically controlled. The engine has started to fluctuate in speed from a high rpms...

Does anyone know if the if the hydraulic valve in the bh75 backhoe has powerbeyond? I am guessing it does not since the backhoe can be removed. I assume that the two hoses have to be hooked together when the backhoe is removed. Thanks, Terry

Personal data is blacked out but the important part is circled. Looks like a backhoe may be coming soon. Terry I like all the zero's but unfortunately it looks a lot like my retirement accounts.

Getting ready to put a new roof on the house. I am going with the architectural shingles and am trying to decide between darker or lighter colors. Are there any advantages going with lighter shingles as far as energy efficiency. Did some searching on the internet and it seems that lighter...

My wife decided she wanted to get a dog. Haven't had a dog in a long time so I told her to go ahead. She decided to go with a rescue dog. I said that was fine, but told her I did not want a yappy dog. I wanted one with a real bark. I think she did pretty well. He is 3 and a half months in...

I don't know what to say. Wonder if we will see a Kubota version. Terry

Going by a local reputable pawn shop today I saw a go-kart sitting outside that I thought my son would like. Stopped in and they wanted a little more for it than I wanted to pay. So I looked around for a while and came across a couple items I have been wanting but am just too cheap to buy at...

I have been reading on this site and on the net in general and I am just as confused now as I was before I started reading about this. I have an opportunity to get 250 gallons of kerosene from a house that is going to be torn down. I say kerosene because the heaters in the house are kerosene...

I finally finished the garage for my son's construction equipment. My garage was getting cluttered with his equipment in it. We were able to make it big enough for 3 dump trucks, 2 loaders, 1 dozer, 1 tlb, and 1 grader.:D I did use the L3400 a little. It will never be this neat again. Terry...

I found an electronics workbench program I used in college and decided to put together a work light schematic. Everything worked fine under simulation and the circuit draws around 12 amps with all lights on. I don't do a lot with 12 volt systems so if anyone sees anything wrong let me know. I...

Hello, For those of you who have the Pat's Easy Change Hitch, did your hitch come with the U bolts that go around the 3pt arm? There is no inventory of what is supposed to come with it, but from reading the directions it appears they should have been included. I have the nuts and washers that...

I just got back from the Outer Banks of North Carolina where I was on vacation. There you can still drive on the beaches which is great. I always clean under my vehicles to remove all the sand and salt from them and have been looking for a better way to do this. There are speciality wands for...

I know a lot of you have pressure washers for your equipment, so I hope someone can help me with mine. I have a typical small engine washer ( 6hp Briggs, 2000 psi General pump, soap injection, etc.). The pressure washer works fine except for one problem. I start the engine with the trigger on...
