    Help Getting JD 6400 Started In Cold Weather After Sitting for 5 years

    Old mechanic showed me a cool trick - soak a rag in gas & hold over the air intake - works better (& easier on engine) than ether.

    Is this trailer a “steal”?

    Good deal if you have something to pull it with. Pintle hitch works great if you have a large truck. Not so great with a pick up. Triple axle eats tires pretty bad until you learn NOT to turn too sharp if can help it.

    Lift pallet of wood pellets with front loader hack?

    No problem rigging pallets to lift - just make sure you put the lifting straps or chains under the pallet runners & not under the top planks. Connect straps to the beam behind the bucket if the load is greater than the loader will lift from the bucket lip. You can tell when the rear end is...

    Concrete placement bucket

    Probably had some, but we poured slow out of the bucket - that was about 15 years ago & the 120' tower is still standing on the ridge. The onsite engineer watched the pour & approved it, but we all agreed it wasn't the best solution to the problem - but it was the only way to get the concrete up...

    Male Square Head Pipe Plug with starting to round off - What to do?

    Wow, Stillson is a tool company that made pipe wrenches, not the name of the tool.

    Concrete placement bucket

    It can be done, as said above - biggest issue is separation of mix while hauling. We hauled 27 yards about 3 miles up a mountain in 2 big loaders one time for a tower foundation, basically the same as what you are doing - drilled piers with sonotube. Ours were 6' diameter & 25' deep.

    Anyone else seeing signs of an early winter?

    Not sure about early, but here in West Tx, we had a very dry year - I got more rain one night a couple of weeks ago than I had since Sept 2021. The mesquite trees produced more beans this year than I have seen in a long time, cover the ground about 1" deep. Oldtimers tell me that means a rough...

    John Deere 260 Backhoe swing cylinder - SNAP!

    You need a gland wrench to unscrew the gland nut. Amazon has them. A good welder can build one. The gland will unscrew, the rod & piston can them=n be removed from the barrel. Looks like the rod may be bent to me. A machine shop can build a new rod. If you weld it protect the chrome on the rod...

    Replacing wheel on gator after flat

    Easiest way to put a wheel on any type of hub with lug bolts. Roll the tire onto a bar under the hub & use the bar as a lever to raise the tire/wheel into place. You can move the bar left/right to turn the wheel enough to line up the bolts.

    Burned Up Trailer Wiring

    Trailer battery may be backfeeding through the charger to a shorted wire. If the truck was feeding a short it would blow the fuse. Has to be the trailer battery or something that is un-fused to burn up the wires. There is probably a diode in the charging circuit that is bad.
