Not posted for some time... tractor has been behaving itself. Nevertheless after 13 years one of the rear tires (carlisle 26-12-12) has started to crack and needs replacing. I was going to take the whole wheel down to the store to replace it,but I'm having trouble removing the wheel. In the...

I just purchased a boat and I thought it would be a good idea to remove the engine oil myself. My father used to do this but usually ended up with most of the oil in the bilgeas he would do it via the drain plug. Perhaps the fact he owned shares in BP explains some of this. Any way, I...

I have a jeep wrangler 2007. A vehicle I thought would rough and ready and any repair could be achieved with a hammer and duck tape, but to my amazement the garage wanted $240.00 to change the spark plugs. Why are these things so expensive to change these days. Could this be a new franchise...

I have a fimco gold series pump on a sprayer. The hose got caught and pulled the tank off the back of the tractor. This did some damage to the pump and I had to rebuild it, but I now find that there is no pressure in the spray but I am getting bubbles coming up from the bottom of the tank. Have...

My deere 2210 is 5 1/2 years old and has 476 hours on it so time for a fairly complete over haul. Purchased at the local Deere stockist I bought new outside air filter, 3 gallons of Deere transmission fluid, oil filter, fuel filter and transmission filter. The total cost was $117.00 Up about...

Any ideas on the size of the zerts for the front axle etc for deere 2210?

After owning a 2210 with a 51" FEL I suddenly realized after 5 years I dont know the its capacity. I can find lifting weights etc but no volumetric data. Any ideas?

When I was first introduced to Twitter my reaction was " these people need to get a life", but as the WWW is the visible sum of human ingenuity I being proven wrong. An IBM scientist has wired up his home so that if something goes wrong with say the heating he gets a tweet. The logical extension...

My dad died this week. It would be unfair for me to mourn. Here was a man who lived 93 years. He was happily married to the same woman for 67 years. He was able to retire at 45 and then went sailing until he was 85. So with all the suffering in the world it would be churlish for me to be too...

I thought that this must be another photoshop job, but according to the experts I m wrong and this bird is in mid whiffle. Goose photographed flying upside down - Telegraph

We were watching the Derby yesterday (what a race and what guts) when a Deere advert was shown. The tractor was being driven by this very attractive young lady and my wife saw that I was visibly excited and accused me of being lustful. I replied that I was, but it was the sight of a new Deere...

Looking for advice. I'm trying to use my old mowing blades and this means drilling some holes in them. I have a drill press and I bought a titanium drill bit from Lowes. The drill was blunt almost immediately I bought the most expensive bit but do I need a professional to drill for me?

I have to be honest I have been overdoing it for the last few weekends. The weather is ideal for cutting up old fallen trees etc and perhaps because the weather was cool I was not drinking enough.....gatorade that is. Sure enough as I was driving the leg was at an awkward angle and it suddenly...

I am thinking of planting some rhododendron in my woods along the paths. I know they are vunerable to deer but I'm having some real success with sprays to keep the deer away. I was listening to a podcast yesterday though and I was wondering if you have heard this affecting trees in the states. I...

I know I can attach a jpg file to a thread but can I attach an mp3 file or would I have to make it a link?
