    Stuck clutch solution

    Howdy All, Many years since I posted. The clutch on my '06 tc40 was stuck for a month or so. I tried many remedies and I'm going to go through them all. 1. Block the clutch for a few weeks, no help. 2. Wiggle it into gear and bury the bucket with the clutch depressed. That just dug ruts...

    Anyone know of a sprayer that almost atomizes the liquid? There was one out about 15 years ago and they were pricey, but I'd like to have one now. I hate to put out too much chemical nowdays. Internet searches aren't bringing up much. Thanks, MP

    electronic rain gauges?

    Anyone have any opinions of them? I like the idea that they can collect data on rainfall since I'm not always home, but do they actually work. Here in TX, a few days of sun can evaporate a lot of water out of a rain guage and I'd like to keep a better track of rainfall. Thanks for any comments.

    spot spraying and a backpack sprayer, WOW

    I'm sure a lot of you know this but... I bought a backpack sprayer from hft last year for 16.99 with a coupon. As we all know some of their stuff is not so great. This one looked a lot like some of the ones selling for much more. They were selling them so cheap because the lower strap clip...

    tc 40 4wd shifter

    Guys, The shifter for 4wa has always been hard to engage. Now it takes all I can muster to put it in or out of 4wa. Is there any way to change this? I thought there might be a nut that controls tension on some packing but I did't see it. It doesn't "FEEL" like there is any real problem, just...

    Guys, I need a shredder more than a chipper so I'm thinking of getting rid of my jimna. What I'm interested in knowing is how well does this unit shred? I haul about 500 bags of leaves out to my place every year to mulch my fruit trees and I also chip some cedar also, so a chipping option is...
