New Year\'s Day traditions ??? Just thought I'd see what New Year's Day traditions y'awl had. In my area, most of the horse owners (guys only), get together around 10 am on New Year's Day. We're all saddled up in Western garb, and ride out to a local saloon to imbibe some spirits and start...

Question for experienced RV\'rs-use in cold weather We're thinking about buying a 5th wheel unit and were curious about the practicality of using an RV in cold temperatures. Are the insulation, windows, and heaters adequate for sub-freezing temperatures? Also what happens to the water tanks...

My 15 year-old son (who learned to drive a shift on my JD790 pullin' a manure spreader - gotta keep this tractor related) wants very much to apply to the Air Force Academy in a couple of years. Unfortunately he's nearsighted (like his old man) and although the Air Force allows some waivers for...

Can anyone advise a spray lubricate to keep snow from sticking to a snowblower's housing, auger, impeller and chute. I was thinking of teflon or silicon spray, but someone mentioned "Pam" or WD-40? Any recommendations that really work?

I've been attempting to solve a weekly tripping of a GFCI breaker controlling outside sockets. After replacing the outside outlets, cleaning and retightening all wires to the sockets, and resealing the outlet covers to no avail. I finally replaced the GFCI breaker and problem was solved...

We've finally had some relief after several years of drought and the Aspens were spectacular this fall. While they may not compare with New England fall colors, I thought you might appreciate some photos from the high country...

For those of you that have followed my mid-PTO and snowblower installations, I'm starting a search for a cab for my JD790 for wintertime snowblowing use. (I've blown the budget this far why stop now...besides I'm helping the economy!) Looking thru TBN archives, I've found the following...

As a follow-on to the JD 790 Mid PTO installation, here's the continuation of the JD 790 Snowblower installation. Thanks to Sleepyhollow for his great snowblower photos and excellent advice. I found the used 59" 2-stage snowblower (front part only) in a dealer lot. It had been returned from a...

My wife bought the JD Tractor Weather station at a garage sale for $10. The exhaust stack is a rain gauge and support has a yardstick attached. I'll post continuing weather updates as they are "photo-worthy". Collies (impatient about the photo and badly needing brushing) were adopted a few...

I recently installed a Mid PTO option on my JD 790 (in preparation for a used snowblower) and thought this info would be helpful. The P/N for the Mid PTO (790) is BM17994 and cost $390. It took about 6 hours for the installation. Besides the kit, I also used 4 gals of Low Viscosity Hy-Gard...

I've been looking at Tractor Supply Co (NASDAQ: TSCO) which has been outperforming S&P, Dow, Nasdaq for the past 2 years and their fundamentals look pretty good as well. Not having a store nearby in Colorado (closest store in NE or KS) to check out, what kind of an operation are they? Do you...

I keep hearing the media talking about recession, however according to posters on TBN, many new (and used) tractors/attachments/accessories/generators/SUVS/trucks/trailers, etc. are being purchased at a good clip. So where's the recession? Are tractor owners just smarter with their money? On...

I'm looking to purchase a box blade for a JD 790 (30hp) for cutting a some new paths (1 lane roads) and general gravel/dirt driveway maintenance. The rear tires are 59" outside width. Originally I was thinking of a 60" box blade, but starting to think a 66" may make more sense to cover tire...

On my JD790, the parking brake light (instrument panel) is stuck on. The parking brake electrical switch is working correctly (tested with Fluke ohm meter when disconnected from wiring). Parking brake light still stays on even when switch is disconnected and switch wiring looks normal (not...
