    Is it too soon to talk about Crypto yet?

    While we wait for stablecoin legislation here in the USA, let's think about what stablecoins are used for these days. Stablecoins are primarily used by countries with unstable fiat currencies and companies doing international business for quick transactions and lower processing fees. For...

    Kioti Long Spool Kit were to get one?

    You're talking about the covers that are on the two cables that cannot fall off until the pins on the spool valves are removed? FWIW, while it will not help you get a replacement cover, here is my tip for keeping those two-piece covers on the cable and up and out of the way.

    Kioti Long Spool Kit were to get one?

    A what? Are you talking about valves in the joystick valve body, the remotes SCV (select control valve) in the back of the tractor, a third or fourth function on the loader, or something else?

    NX4510HST Seat Replacement

    In an unpublished video from back in 2018, I tried to shoehorn in a proper Sears air seat into my NX that is used in piles of different Case and JD et el tractors. I made new brackets to make the seat level and to sit as low as possible. Unfortunately, when I test fit the seat, it became obvious...

    Is the Cyber Truck a Flop?

    NOS is a problem with every auto manufacturer which started in 2023 when interest rates started going up and inflation started getting priced into manufacturing from higher input costs. So rather than eat margin compression, pretty much everybody priced inflation into their products, which in...

    This takes a S DIN (swivel metric). If I had to guess, a 10mm tube.

    Welder Recommendations

    Buy a Harbor Freight multi process, start out with 75/25 gas mig welding, learn how to stick weld with 6013 then 6010 rods. Make sure you have 220V power.

    Is it too soon to talk about Crypto yet?

    The FHFA has been ordered to count crypto as assets for mortgages. This will be remembered as a defining moment for institutional adoption of Bitcoin in particular, but crypto in general as crypto recognized as both a reserve asset and collateral by the U.S. housing system. Why? Because...

    What did you buy this week?

    From the stepping on rakes files... I bought a Chinese knock-off of a Racor 900FG water separator for less that $50 since my 30L sonic tank loosened up the inside varnish/paint/whatever it is on my real Racor 900FG filter/water separator and a real Racor costs hundreds and I needed a new sight...

    TYM wants to tip or roll over - need advise

    Is it too heavy for your tractor? Yes. It is too heavy for your tractor. Not only that you're being hard on the front axle's support because it is now supporting the weight of your tractor AND your load.

    Diagnostic adaptor for OBD2

    So it is a no-go for having the correct adaptor. It would be nice if somebody could identify the diagnostic plug Kioti uses. I suspect it is a Delphi engine management system since it uses Delphi injectors.

    What bugs/diseases/critters have ya'll seen that weren't around 30-40 years ago?

    We've got Sand Cranes (just saw one today). More eagles (I have an eagle's nest atop the hill on my lake house). Less loons (the eagles pick the babies off of the lake). We have Turkey Vultures (we never had those when i was a kid). And for some reason, tick bites now start to itch (I never...

    Kioti filter cross reference number list (all models)

    This thread is a gift that keeps giving. I just ordered a couple of the Hi-Fi fuel filters since they are less money than the Donaldson filters (and since my sister no longer works at Donaldson as an Engineer, heh). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYK9CL2S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title Also...

    Kioti NX5510 Randomly won’t start

    Alternatively, a guy could pull the plug to the switch and jumper the plug.
