Two gallons of diesel is a tad overkill, about a half cup of gasoline works really well. The fumes go down the hole and kill them instantly. Cover the hole to hold the fumes in to be absolutely sure to get them all.

My mom used to use my dad's old white work shirts for gardening shirts, us kids used them while picking strawberries and raspberries. Nothing better in the hot sun than a loose white shirt. This was in the 60's when kids could work summer jobs.

Our field bred golden sheds some, but not near what several double coated dogs we have had in the past. But the cat is a completely different story, research says that cats have about 11,000,000 hairs on them, he certainly sheds tens of thousands per day. We guage the amount of fur in the...

I use Reolink cameras, they work most of the time but do loose connection sometimes. A hard boot brings them back up. Mine require a 120v power supply but connect via wifi. We have a mesh system that allows us to put the mesh routers in line of sight to the cameras. Not terribly expensive, I'm...

If you haven't sprayed a nest there are venom collection companies around that will come and harvest the nest for free. Around here they usually respond in a couple of days. They get in there with a vacume cleaner and a bee suit and take the brood with them. That being said I have found that...

I have had no luck in finding a filter cross reference for my tractor. I have been getting my filters from my local dealer, they come in plain white boxes with an AGCO part number sticker on the box. Today as I was doing an engine oil change I noticed that the replacement filter was a Denso...

Cutting with a circular saw is very dusty. We had our house done a few years ago and they used an electric sheet metal shear to cut it. It cuts clean with no dust, it does cut about a 1/4" kerf. It cuts a little bit slower than a circular saw. The shear costs about the same as a regular corded...

Did a bit more investigation on the two wires behind the seat, figured it out, I think. According to the owners manual there are two 15 Amp fuses in the fuse block, one is for a work light the other is labeled outlet. Checking with a multimeter, one has power all the time the other only when...

I don't recall, I investigated this sometime back, couldn't figure out what it could be used for and haven't messed with it since.

I found that the two wires on the ROPS show 12v when the ignition is off, no voltage when on.....

Been dabbling in woodworking for years. You will always see the mistakes and flaws in your own work that nobody else ever sees... A few things I have done over the years, many happy hours spent in the fall and winter months out in the shop. End tables for the family room Our (my wifes) office...

I usually use sunscreen but this year I have had to level up a bit. I am on Keytruda until December to clean up any lingering cancer cells that may be leftover from my kidney cancer. It can cause heightened sensitivity to the sun. Had to start wearing long sleeved shirts when I am out now.

Massey parts are rather dear as well!

Just did remotes on my MF 1734E. Kit came with zip ties and the hoses came with anti abrasion wrap on them. The routing is under the seat away from the fenders.

Helped a friend put a wheel back on his BX, it was a real pain to get it lined up for sure. Just had to remove the right rear wheel on my Massey Ferguson to install rear remotes. Replacing it was pretty easy, but it was parked on concrete with a hydraulic jack to aid in lining it up. Thinking it...
