    So all my neighbors say they never hit any rocks while drilling fence holes, I hit a bunch and bent one of the tips on the 12" auger. I straightened it, but now the metal is weak and bends easily. Any one know how to put some temper back in the metal? I thought about heating it and quenching...

    Trailer Tires

    A friend of mine has had a couple of blowouts on her 8 horse trailer lately, we're trying to figure out why. One thing I noticed is that the tires on the trailer are heavy duty truck tires, 235x16 radials. Any experience with trailer tires? Should this type of trailer use tires specifically...

    Dam Funny

    Probably another (sub)urban legend, but funny just the same: The following is a genuine hoot. This was an actual letter sent to Ryan De Vries from The Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, State of Michigan. Wait till you read this guy's response - but read the entire letter before...

    10 Hour Update

    Hi to all, I just turned 10 hours on the JD 4200, just had to say all is going well. The only incident is getting stuck in the wet area below the pond dam while mowing (hey-this thing is 4WD!!!) Luckily my neighbor Jerry came home shortly after and kindly pulled me out. The only damage...

    PTO Spline alignment

    I'm pretty new, so here's my first dumb question. I took the 3ph mower off my JD 4200. No problem till I tried to hook it back up. Is there an easy way to align the splines on the pto to the shaft? I ended up raising the deck and turning the blades by hand (with the key in my pocket!) - not...
