    Converting front-mount Olathe leaf blower to rear 3pt

    Howdy, looking for some input on a project here. Feel free to take a crack at one or more. :) I picked up an Olathe model 67 leaf blower that was originally a front mount accessory for a Toro Groundsmaster, thinking it might be easy enough to mod for 3-pt hitch use. Unfortunately, it is off a...

    Paid off! Now what?

    Now that I own it, a quick search tells me I should 1.) obtain a "Certificate of Origin", and; 2.) check with my County Clerk to verify the note is reported paid in full (UCC filing?). The implication was neither is done automatically, so personal follow up is necessary. I'll call my Dealer...

    Large Compressor - Build vs. Buy?

    I need to sandblast and paint some old tractor implements, but the 20 gal. horizontal can't keep up with the air grinders, etc. as it is. Since I hate waiting on the cycle time but don't really use it alot, I hesitate to spend the big bucks on a big new 220v upright. Unfortunately, no luck...

    Barter value FEL work vs. drywall hanging?

    I've always done my own drywall work however, since I prefer seat time to ladder time, I am currently considering a barter deal. I know what my tractor time is worth, but what's a reasonable price to pay per sheet or sq/ft for hanging 4'x12'x5/8" ceiling and 54"x12'x1/2" wallboard (9' wall...

    Anybody build a 'holz hausen'?

    Don't know how effective it really is, but it looks like a neat idea. Supposedly can take your green wood to seasoned firewood in only 3 months. If I had stumbled upon this before splitting and stacking about 6 face cord last weekend I would have given it a try! Anybody? Link here >>> "Build a...

    What to look for in a Rental Logsplitter?

    Ok, I got a little firewood splitting project that in the past I probably would have tackled with the maul. But some of the stuff is a bit knarly and runs up to 4' across so, in another sign old age may be catching up slightly, I've decided to rent a splitter. I know cycle time may be more...

    Cottonwood Blues

    Sure wish I could get rid of all the cottonwood trees in my area. Kids taking allergy shots, window screens and A/C cooling fins all clogged up. Don't forget to clean your tractor's underhood radiator screen if you have one. After 1/2hr of mowing last night and mine looked just as bad as the...

    Deal or No Deal... used Coleman 6500H Generator

    Anybody have experience with this particular model generator? Sounds big enough to start the well pump with the elec. water heater, fridge and a few light on, but not so big as to bankrupt me in fuel bills. Of course, this had to show up right after I bot a HF gen head for a B7610 PTO project...

    B7610 HSD - 2nd Rear PTO speed

    Anybody use it? I.e., my B7610HSD Operator Manual states: Rear PTO speed #1: 540rpm pto @ 2600rpm engine Rear PTO speed #2: 960rpm pto @ 2554rpm engine I know some folks just want to throttle down with a higher PTO speed to save fuel cost running a rotary cutter for example, but is there any...

    1966 Reo ST-268 Snow Throw

    About 15 years ago, my father-in-law was kind enough to give me HIS father's 1966(?) Reo ST-268 Snow Throw. It was made by Wheel Horse Products, Inc. and powered by a 6hp Lauson-Tecumseh Model #H60-75179F, Ser. #6144 04239. It's always worked like a charm but last year I bot myself a new looong...

    B7610HSD snowplow retrofit

    One man's trash is another man's treasure. Found this heavy-duty 7-1/2' bottom trip snow plow with a "Free To Good Home" sign on it. I promised the owner I'd do my best to put it to good use.

    Building a private airstrip.

    Do you have a private airstrip? I am curious about the feasibility of building and maintaining a private use grass airstrip on personal property. The FAA regulations appear to be much less of an issue than the state and local environmental, noise and special use requirements... which look as if...

    Q.) re: 220v welder plugs

    Wrapping up some garage wiring. I just know -someday- soon I'll have a welder so I want to make a provision for it now before buttoning up the drywall. Sure don't need anything too fancy and/or expensive, most likely just a small buzz box for stick welding, but I see 220v welders can use...

    Looking for a economical heat source for 900sf garage, no NG or LP on site. One local fellow has offered to sell me an old Preway heater.

    So I got a good deal on some trusses...

    We moved into a new house not too long ago, and I've been missing my storage barn ever since. The new 3-car garage is jammed with junk and because I hate clearing the snow and ice off the cars, shuffling 'em around to plow, etc., I knew I'd have to do something before winter set in. So I've been...

    Young Operators - How young is too young?

    While giving one of my boys a safety lesson in FEL work yesterday, I realized there are a whole lot of kids who grow up operating tractors. All my children are well versed in lawn tractor operation and safety, been mowing since about 12y.o., but this is a MUCH more dangerous machine. At what age...

    Oil & Fuel  Does B7610 have a fuel shutoff petcock?

    Started clearing a pathway thru the woods yesterday. When I came in and hosed off, I noticed fuel leaking from the fuel filter housing. After a bit of fussing, I determined the housing bowl was not seated correctly. Whether it was cross-threaded originally, or I bumped it working in the woods...

    New B7610HSD... a little whine with your rattle?

    Yes, I know the gear whine will subside as the break-in hours add up but, man, new hydro transmissions sure are L-O-U-D! And, after putting less than 1 hour on the ticker, I knew I was going to have to deal with the FEL joystick rattle ASAP. At idle the darn thing sounds like it's coming apart...

    Ever had an Area Variance DENIED?

    On an EXISTING structure? Just came back from the town zoning board meeting wherein I was hoping to have an area variance granted. Instead, a shining example of local government boondogle and another two week delay. Short story if you care: I put up a 12'x16' pole shed 8 or so years ago with...

    Where to buy good beef jerky?

    Me and the kids love jerky, but you can go broke buying 4oz. packets in the grocery store for teenagers. I've also concluded that venison jerky is just too time consuming to make, and what I do make is gone so darn quick well, lets just say, I know how Mom fees after taking a couple of hours to...

    Another B7610 living the life of suburban luxury!

    As tempting as that 0%/48 was, the positively horrible response of the local blue dealer sealed the deal for me. So I saved $2k and the tractor gets paid off 2 years earlier. Thanks to the positive comments here and my field tests, I'm confident I bot a great little CUT, but I'm sure to be...
