Typical prefabricated roof trusses (2 x 6). Spacing is 29" on center in the shop area. If I temporarily place 3/4" plywood on top of the bottom chord would it be safe to walk on?

I am pre-wiring a new home for Dish Network TV & Internet, and I have a few questions: 1) How many cables and what type of cable do I need to run from the Satellite dish location to the TV location? 2) Do the TV signal & Internet signal use the same cable? If yes then what do I do if the PC is...

I currently have bolt-on pallet forks that attach to the bucket. I cannot see the forks from the operator's seat making it difficult to pick up a pallet. Would changing to the quick attach type give a better view? Any mfg. that might be better than another? Kubota B2650 HSTC. Thanks.

I will shortly have a 30' x 65' metal shop, storage type building constructed. I want to specify construction that is above the norm. Any thoughts and additions to my list would be appreciated. Heaver Gauge steel 24 vs 26 vs 29? Standing seam / hidden fasteners for the roof, instead of exposed...

I see several brands of oil filters available for this engine, I am not sure which is the best, or even if these are the correct ones? FRAM PH8172, WIX 51348, PUROLATOR L10241, Kohler KH-12-050-01-S, Kohler KH-12-050-01-S1, Kohler 1205001S1C, Kohler 52-050-02-S. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just did a search on attaching tool boxes, got some good write ups. I would like to see pictures of how you folks have mounted an external tool box, mainly on a cab tractor. Thanks - Jim

What is the smallest John Deer currently available with Cab, A/C and hydro transmission? Looking to cut grass in comfort. :laughing:

I had posted earlier that my B2650 hydro noise was excessive. To follow up I now have the tractor back from the dealer. They found that the cab was not mounted correctly and was rubbing on the transmission. I am happy to report the noise is now greatly reduced - except - when I use the cruise...

I just received my new B2650HSTC (1.7 hours). The noise from the hydro system is unbelievably loud (low-mid-hi range), I mean you could hear this thing a mile away. I previously owned a L5030HSTC and the hydro noise was very low. I will be contacting the dealer but I wanted to hear what other...

I believe you can do it yourself. I trenched 1,200' for a waterline in good soil conditions in less than two hours. Good Luck.

The hydro pedal on my 2002 (2,500 hrs) Kubota L5030HSTC gets very hard to move when the tractor is heavily used (especially in hot weather), it is easy to move when the tractor is cool. I have cleaned and lubricated all of the linkage I can see/access. Any ideals?, Thanks.

I want to replace my old corroded incandescent lights with LED's. Any recommendations on good lights or light kits? Thanks.

My Craftsman YT3000 mower model # 917.288520 (almost new, but not under warranty) will not move unless I spend 30 minutes doing the purge routine with the back wheels off of the ground, then the next day I must do the purge routine again. Also doesn't seem to have much puling power. Any...

Is the replacement of the A/C electric clutch a job I should attempt, or should I leave this to the professionals? I understand you need a special removal and install tool - where would one find these tools. The tractor is a 2002 Kubota L5030. Thanks.

I like my Grasshopper front deck mower, except it throws up a large amount of dust and clippings on the deck and me. Does anyone have any experience with the Air Dam Kit? I have also heard that the straight blades stir up less dust than the high lift blades?
