Don't have a vise!

I ordered Cat. 1. I hope that's right. They aren't being used on a hitch (then again, not sure how "hitch" is being used).

Ordered from Pat's. Thanks!

I need a couple of these can can't find them anywhere. It is the round/bent over part that the pin goes through to hold them on (see pic). Anyone know? Thanks.

I have found nothing better than manure. I put on a front loader thick layer in the fall when the garden is done. I get the best tomatoes, etc. in my garden. When everyone else is saying their garden didn't do well mine is always great. Yes, there are a lot of weeds, but they won't grow where...

What I need is the rubber hose part of this unit. We are worried about having another failure after 2 years. I hadn't checked RockAuto. Thanks for that link. The failure was right below the first pipe clamp. It's like when I owned a '72 Datsun 510 and the starters went out constantly. I got...

And lots of rats.

It's getting harder and harder to have a burn pile in CA. Calfire charges over $100 for a burn permit besides a yearly tax of over $100 AND more fees in the property taxes. To burn you have to notify the fire dept. that morning and confirm it is a burn day. Here it is only green/wet in the...

A couple of years ago my rear tank was leaking and the filler neck assembly rubber hose was replaced. The rubber has failed after only 2 years. The mechanic says the rubber quality on the after-market parts is really bad and doesn't stand up to the fuel. They found an original part (the whole...

I sharpen mine twice a season (a few months in spring). I'm amazed you never sharpened yours. My neighbor sharpens theirs also. I use an angle grinder, lifting up the mower as high as it will go and then brace it with a 2x4 just in case. I take baling twine to keep the blade from spinning. After...

I have multiple buildings with T1-11. They were originally painted with the translucent stain and that didn't last at all. I repainted with Behr solid stain with a 20-year warranty. So far so good many years later. It goes on like paint but is still a stain. Behr stain comes in different grades...

I cover my garden with about 18" of composted horse manure every fall! In the spring I first mow it and then rip with the tines inserted in the box scraper. I push out the weeds with the front loader. I wait until the ground is dry enough to not get stuck but still moist underneath. Over 20...

I appreciate your thoughts. Turns out on the Kubota there's a red knob right on the dash that's an engine cutoff! It would really help if I knew what everything was. Duh!

I'm fine with being ignorant. I'm the first person to ask for help. I take care of my 10 acres myself. I used to change my own oil, change starters, etc. on my cars so I'm not totally ignorant. I wanted everyone to know here that no one actually knew there was a switch to stop the engine. So all...
