I have only lived in states that have not required private party sales to do anything to document the sale. That being said, I almost never buy a firearm from another individual. It's just never really worked out that way for me, at least not very often. Same goes with selling. I've only ever...

My water bottle is the garden hose coiled up at the front corner of the house. I also have a couple of insulated Igloo water jugs. A 5 gallon and a 10 gallon, that I usually drop a block of ice in and then fill up with the garden hose, to take with when working fields away from home in the...

I can't see how being one quart over on engine oil could make the tractor not start. I don't think that has anything to do with your "no start" problem. Did you also change the fuel filter? If so, did you reprime the fuel system after changing the filter?

I find the stock work lights on the top corners of my cab to be very useful. Shining down from above in both front and back, makes night mowing or snow work very easy to see. I still use the "headlights" in the grill, especially when using the forks, but all they do is light up the back side of...

I agree with TT, that is awesome. Looking forward to the video of the grandkids on their first hayride.

As I said previously, I do use a synthetic Amsoil hydro fluid. I'm looking for the operating temp range I need, which dictates a synthetic fluid for my specific use here. The only down side to using the Amsoil is that I did notice the hydro makes a bit more noise now than it did with whatever...

I would say that it dramatically depends on your specific drain field design, and your specific soil type. When I asked the septic guy who inspected our system during the home buying process, he started off saying sure thing. Until I told him my tractor weighed 7k lbs, in which he emphatically...

Glenn Campbell could sure play guitar too.

Well I can't say I've looked into it much so far, but I don't believe that's true. At least not the 'anything longer than 22-24' ' part. Not sure if I'll even be able to swing a new trailer this year, depending on what the mowing season brings, so haven't been in a hurry to check them out...

My opinion, if you ever want to haul it with anything on the 3pt hitch, then 22' is too short. My next trailer is going to be around a 30-34' deck over gooseneck so I can haul my tractor with the 3pt mower on it, and still have room for a couple of attachments up front. I think fenders taller...

Well, lets see, in no particular order: Concrete floor for rolling equipment, jacks, etc around, better overhead lighting for doing detail work, and heat and insulation for our winters here. Also need to do shelving down the walls at some point.

Mine is a 40x70 steel building with gravel floor, power and lights, but no heat or insulation. So it is a shed, and not a "shop" in my opinion. The one and only time it was empty (just after closing on the house, lol). Just another day... normally the 5th wheel is parked in there too...

I like the idea of the wooden boxes. Beats what I'm doing with just bags of sand stacked on a pallet. They always seem to fall off the pallet into the truck bed over the winter, and have to be hand stacked back on the pallet again.

Answered in your other thread in the Branson forum.

I would describe the motion to put the FEL in float as, a short, quick stab forward with the joystick control. You'll get the feel for it after you do it a couple of times.
