Hello: My 2002 JD 790 tractor ran out of diesel while a contractor was using it. I have read the previous post about priming the fuel lines here in TBN. I know I have fuel in the lines PUMPING in a steady stream to the fuel injectors. Still I cannot get the tractor started. I have fuel to...

Our mosquito control has deemed they can no longer fog inside our property line. Now, they can only come to the edge of our driveway. We have 13.5 acres. I have been putting our mosquito dunks in any standing water. Still, mosquitoes are eating us and our horses up. Mosquito control has...

Hello: We are getting ready to spray some portions of our pasture with a Spectracide Weed Stop Liquid Mix (a 2,4, D mix). We are trying to knock back some dollar weed and other weeds. My wife is wondering how long before we can let the horses back in this pasture (she is worried about the...

I have been shopping for a new string trimmer. I have narrowed it between a Shindaiwa or Echo trimmer. I have five acres to maintain. Part is horse pasture, the other is home. I look at a Shindaiwa (Dealer called it a 375 but I believe it is the T195s) Home Pro Series straight shaft for...

I was out looking at some Timberland and ran across this cute little tractor in a food plot. Had to Google it up to figure out a "Speedex" tractor. Interesting history. I do not know if it is still used or not. I am hoping it is not just rusting away. Sincerely, Ikymojoe

I am simply tired of my stock Ryobi weed eater head (BCS 30 model). It never feeds and I always have to pull it off, pull out some string to begin weed eating again. I recently tried the Shakespeare Weed Warrior replacement head. It does not fit exactly and not to good on performance either...

Hello Friends: I am shopping for a compressor and nailer. I do not know what to look for in all of the various models/sizes. Some of the projects I am considering are: - replacing some wood paneling inside my house - re-roof a well house - general construction projects like bird houses -...

Hello: My JD 790 will not start. To date I have tried to: * clean all contact points with the negative cable and replaced the connection bolt. * Took the battery to the JD dealer and he said it tested fine * Cleaned up the standard JD 790 corrosion in the battery bay (pictures) and covered...

Hello, I have a Scotts 1642 lawn tractor (equivalent of a John Deere Sabre Model) that the front wheels feel loose. They are loose like when you check for car tires for loose bearing nuts. I have tried to pull off the plastic covers on the front wheels but cannot remove them. Are they...

I have been looking at a JD 2150 with a 175 JD front end loader, 7ft bushhog, box blade and a post hole digger. Has 1779 hours but looks like normal wear and tear. Owner is unsure of year but believes it is 1983-1986. He is asking $8500. Is that a fair price for this amount of hours...

I am going to see a grey market dealers tomorrow - in Marianna, Florida. What questions should I ask? What should I look for? I am looking at a Yanmar. Sincerely, Ikymojoe

Hello, I have been shopping for a tractor and discovered the gray market. I would love to buy a John Deere but the budget will not allow it. Anything used (in my budget) via John Deere is either too large or too old. Plus I need to maximize my dollars! That being said, I am shopping in the...
