After all the Christmas festivities and traveling settled down, I got some long overdue seat time the past couple of days. This spring will be putting in an outdoor play set for the little girl. Going to put this behind the house, roughly where the current tree line is at. So, the plan is to...

After having gone several weeks with little to no seat time, finally got some time to do some much needed work on our gravel road. Took some pics to share. After a lot of much, much needed rain last week, then Ernesto coming through, had some big ruts washed into our road. Our road is "crush...

Buddy walked outside to leave and came running back in saying there was snake across the walkway and he could not get out of our office :rolleyes: . This is in Durham/Chapel Hill. Said it "looked" poisonous but was not sure. He asked the secretary to call security and I went with him to take a...

Anyone have any advice or tips for building a rose bed. Wife has decided she wants to start rose gardening and I am all for it. She does have a bit of a green thumb – got it from her Dad, that man could grow a tomato on a rock – I like roses and the house needs more flowers/color around it...

Anyone out there have any comments or suggestions for zoysia grass? Have been considering getting some plugs for some rough areas around the side and back of the house. Front yard and one side I am happy with, but, the back and other side yards need some work. Past couple of falls I spend...

Hey all, Have an odd problem here. It appears that I am leaking hydraulic fluid from my Jinma 454LE. The funny thing is that I can't find the leak. I have topped off the hydraulic fluid twice over the last week or so - did again Saturday when I put a little over a gallon. I went out and...

Went to cable a while back and now have a DirecTV dish and (4) receivers that are no longer needed. Don't know what to do with them other to list on ebay, but, know they give these away when you subscribe to services. Thought I would ask here if anyone wants or needs them before I do...

I have been searching for a thread, I thought I read a long time ago about using 4wd. If remembering correctly, the main point behind the thread was using 4wd ONLY when you have too. I have been doing just that - avoided using 4wd until I am stuck, or, want to avoid the rear tires spinning. I...

Latest North Carolina trooper patrol bikes.... I think North Carolina wins for the coolest highway patrol motorcycles

Took this for the John Deere guys. Was one of the decorations at the North Carolina state fair here in Raleigh. Was hard to keep my tongue in mouth and from slobbering all over myself. I could think of better decorating though - sitting at my house with a FEL for starters! There was no...

I think my starter has gone bad on my Jinma 454 LE. Looking for confirmation, other tips and any help on replacing a starter – if needed. Have never replaced a starter… Over the past few months I have noticed that on occasion when I turn the key, I would hear a “click” each time the key was...

Replacing a blown hydraulic pump this weekend and will need to add more fluid. The dealer replaced all factory fluids and used Shell Tellus AW32 for the hydraulics. I have been trying to find the Tellus fluid but cannot find it anywhere (Raleigh/Durham North Carolina – anyone know I can find...
