Just replaced both tail light lens and in checking things found brake lights not working. Easy - check brake light switch. Except I can't find it. even looked at brake peddle and brake parts pic's and parts lists - no see em? I am sure I will be embarassed when I find out where it is. Also...

Looking for ideas on preparing for possible wild fire. We live in an area that is ready to burn at any time. We were short on water long before other parts of the state, trees are dying, grass dead etc. I am looking for things to do that might help our house survive. Short term and long term...

Just got home from four month RV road trip and found pond DRY. Got in some seat time, cleaned up bottom and got about two more feet of depth. Noticed steering jerking and lift stuttering at low rpm. TBN to the rescue again. Thirty minutes later, problem found on TBN, confirmed and hose ordered...

Sitting in RV in Rio Grand Valley and have been entertained watching heavy equipment. They are adding some dirt, spreading, smoothing, packing etc. on a levee. All ok till this afternoon. Not sure what the angle is on the sides but I do know I would not run my Bota along the sides. Using big JD...

Behind in posting projects. Had travel trailer and built simple sunscreen cover for it at one side of house. House sits of raised pad so I just built cover on same pad. Trailer wasn't that heavy so I just towed it over yard. Traded trailer in for motor home which is MUCH heavier and taller...

Finally got around to buying a trailer for my pond dirt moving project and need to pass on some info. Price with shipping just under $1,000 which included the trailer and factory dump kit, shipping under 7 days (Ohio to SE TX.) First problem, treated/still wet boards were in direct contact...

I need inside dimension to see if it will fit my land pride quick hitch.

Looking for cheep dump trailer for my pond project. CMI six foot one ton with factory hand pump dump kit, less wood delivered is $682. With a dump angle of 40 degrees I have no idea what to expect.

Need 2 or 3 yd dump trailer for moving lots of dirt. Low speed/non highyway use, ie registration not required. If renting estimate two times at about one month each. SE TX preferred but can go farther for good deal. Email barbobranch@gmail.com

Markham about to build one for my 60" fel. Understand that usually means 5/odd number of teeth or one in dead center of cutting edge. Since I plan to lift things and put hitch ball in center for dumping trailer, should I add or subtract one tooth to free up center? Planned major use is digging...

Acquired BB with significant rust-thru at bottom 1.5 inch edge of side plate at cutting edge. Has hinged rear blade so I only need to worry about front cutting edge. Don't think a picture would show much. Anyone repaired similar damage?

Reading old posts about PSB-2007-27 re. cable and bracket. Is this a DIY project? My cable finally broke. Out of wty of course.

Want to move 20' RV around yard with tractor. Hitch weight is within tractor spec's but max weight is WAY over with RV empty (2,000 vs 4,000 # plus.) Would that max be more for brakes? Only talking about 200 300 foot moves

Overnight my L3400HST (with only 220 hours) tach does not show right RPM. Max. reading around 500 RPM. Any "been there done that" ideas on where to start?

Pushed my Bota a little to hard and managed to leave a little brown spot on her wrinkled seat. Same old process, dig hole around tree-cut roots with axe-push tree down with Bota-fill hole and burn tree. Seems I was pushing her a bit to hard and maybe didn't have RPM's up enough. Anyhow when...
