I did while I was on a 6 ft ladder burning out a cross member on a sea container. By the time I got on the ground and got my boot off the slag was melted into the top of my foot. hurt like crazy. It hurt even more when i dug it out! I did a lot of stupid stuff when I was a kid.

I was hunting with some friends a few years ago and one of them brought a guest. He said he had been hunting with him before and he was a safe hunter. My son and I were behind the main line of six guys working a pheasant field of taller Milo. A bird came up between me and the new guy, he leveled...

I painted my house using a borrowed ladder. After returning the ladder I noticed a spot I missed up high. I duct taped a brush to my backhoe bucket and reached up with it and touched up the spot. Is that okie?

We just bought a 3/4 ton. Nice truck. We only have 120 miles on it but it sure looks good in the driveway next to my 01! My neighbors are jealous again!

Super high capacity kel-tec su16c. 2 -30 rds and 2 -10 round mags in the stock. Happy firepower.

Does anyone know of anything that can help the ringing in my ears? Actually mine has progressed to more of a brake squeal noise at all times. I don't hear high pitched sounds anymore. 30 years in construction and way to many gunshots with no hearing protection when I was younger, including shots...

I own 2 Stihl chainsaws. An older .036 with a 24 inch bar and a small limbing saw. I've had no problems with the .036 for 14 years. It is tired though. I'm thinking about a Husqvarna just not sure if it can match my Stihls for durability. Any recommendations?

Have you ever inadvertently killed a critter while you were mowing or hoggin? I have. Didn't mean to but it happens. Clipped a pheasant one time. No bird shot in that bird. Good eats. I've seen remnants of stuff that were unidentifiable. Do they count?

Hey. I have a 955 with mod 70 FEL and a mod 7 backhoe. The hoe stays on the tractor all of the time. My question is do I need to think about adding Rimsaver for extra ballast or is the backhoe good enough. I do run side hill quite a bit but I go slow and haven't had any problems yet. The hoe...

Hey. Does anyone have any idea why my backhoe keeps slowly leaving the full upright position? As I use the tractor, every so often I have to reach back and raise it back up. Not a big problem but I would like to fix it. Thanks.

Hey. I have to share how we bought a 1993 John Deere 955 with a Mod 70 loader and a Mod 7 backhoe. We have been getting free firewood at a country club (no we don't belong to it) close to our home. The guy who runs the show there let us use a 955 to load the large rounds. I told him several...

Hello. I bought news seals for my 955 loader and backhoe hydraulic cylinders. The loader seals came with detailed instructions but the backhoe ones did not and the seals are very different. Does anyone know of any site that would have instructions? I just need a picture that i can refer to...

I have turf tires and need the ag tires. Does anyone know of a used set? Also, are the wheels different for the ag tires than the turfs? Thanks, Rick
