My neighbor was kind enough to help move the tractor loader hoe. With the wheel weights and filled tires, it is 10,000 and change pounds. A bit too much for my 12,000# trailer and 3/4 ton truck. But not so bad on his 24k trailer and 1 ton dually dodge. We were about home and I asked when he...

So, I brought a TLB back home from a piece of property and did routine maintenance on it and found a missing bolt. Uh-oh. Got a mirror on a stick and a bright flashlight and found 1/2 of the bolt anyway. Stuck in the hole and in a VERY inconvenient location. Ok, no problem I can handle that...

Anyone have this issue with a medium duty Brushbull? I was cutting tag alders over the weekend and heard a loud Whack!! and she started shaking to beat the band. At first I thought it was a blade spun back and pinned by a branch, but when I looked it was a blade snapped in half. Now that's...

Was welding today and started smelling something burning. Looked around and couldn't find anything on fire. Then realized it was ME ON FIRE. The frayed edge of the insulated coverall knee caught a spark and went from smoke to flame as I was watching. Dang~! Only got a bit of a surface...

Hi, Had some windows replaced and the contractor was driving a 99 silverado 1/2 ton 4x4 with the 5.3l and auto trans. He always has it attached to the 14' enclosed trailer that holds all the tools, windows, equipment, etc that he uses. The trailer is about 8' tall from the ground and 6-7k...

Hi, I just pushed a hunk of steel 18"x48"x1.75" off a buddies truck into my FEL bucket. It has a lot of holes in it as it was used in some equipment or tooling. It looks to have been ground flat, but it is rusty now from being in the scrap pile. Bought it and a few other pieces for 8cents a...

Hytrel, GFN and Neo Fab seals for use in a hydraulic cylinder. I'm rebuilding a couple and have them apart, but don't know the details of which seal material to order. The system is 2000 psi and will run up to 140-150F after operating for a while. thanks

Hi, My 2185 mower was bought new in 1999 or so. It has been a good machine for cutting about 2 acres of lawn. But... This year it started using oil. It will give a bit of blue smoke when throttling down or up, but does not smoke when running or even smell like burning oil. Can't find a...

Hi, I was given some old rods. Well, "some" is an understatement. About 200# of rod all diameter and types from 1/8" to 1/4". Nice But, they have been sitting out for years. Are they junk or jewel? It will make a difference as I have a mig but no stick welder. Wouldn't want to buy...
