OP, sorry for the loss of your dog. It’s always a miserable punch to the heart. We’ve always had several pets so we’re no strangers at the vets office. It does seem that vets today are more reliant on tests ($$$) than going on a gut feeling or intuition. For example, two years ago we took our...

Owners manual calls for valves to be adjusted at the 600 hour mark. Thought I would attempt this myself but not sure of the procedure. Specifically, knowing when the cylinder is at TDC. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks.

Thank you! It was a long term project. Still have a vacuum 2-speed rear end to install if I ever get around to it.

I really like old dump trucks! This one has a flathead V8(100hp) and a crash box 4 speed. About the only thing it hauls these days is me with a big grin on my face.

Gotta love the old trucks! That truck deserves better than to be wasting away in a gravel pit. Do you recall the manufacturer of the dump body?

The tag on the glove box door says 12,500 GVW and the truck weighs about 5300lbs.

A little bigger and newer than a Model A. Took several years to restore but was a fun project. Driving it is like stepping back in time.

Question for you guys versed in the HVAC realm. First, my system is totally electric forced air with heat pump and air handler. Is it normal for my 16 seer(sp?) heat pump to run when the outside temp is below zero? I thought that these things were only good down to about 32˚ or so and then the...

This was a tall (60-90ft) Tulip tree I had taken down by a local company. I had used this company before and was pleased with their work. The tree was about 15 feet from my house and several large branches hung over the roof. The plan was to use the bucket truck and a nylon rope, run thru a...

I think it gives a slightly better cut than a bush hog. My flail is considered a rough cut model as it only has 56 knives as opposed to the finish cut model which has 88 knives. Never used a bush hog so I can't give an accurate comparison. The flail works fine for my needs. Sent from my iPad...

Mowed the clearing for the first time this year. I think it's time to sharpen the knives on my flail mower - not looking forward to that job. Sent from my iPad using TractorByNet

Anyone out there into X-country skiing? I've been thinking of buying some skis and giving it a try. Seems like it would be a good workout and a nice way to enjoy the outdoors during winter. The local ski shop has a package deal for just under $300. We have some areas close by that might be good...

This is what I use and it works great. Grizzly with a Rhino snow plow. Just plowed after an 8" snowfall with no problem. Easy, fast, and doesn't hurt the blacktop drive.
