    Well&pump questions

    Long story over several years. Started as just a spring, running to creek. Runs at maybe 8 gpm, year round. Started by attempting to dig hole, with backhoe, for 6' fiberglass tank with bottom cut out & holes drilled for water inlet, thinking we would have a 6' diameter well. Unable to complete...

    Well&pump questions

    We have something very similar for our sprinkler system. 2 pumps, 1 for pond to storage tank, another from storage tank to sprinklers. We used 3 float switches (like would be used for a septic tank pump), One to protect pond pump(if pond get low), and two in the storage tank. One to turn on pond...

    Hog Damage Drag attachments

    We have hooked a drag behind our box blade, also a disk harrow. If you like, you can hold the harrow or blade up, until needed to help out the drag, then apply a little weight or a lot, as needed

    Adding radiator overflow tank

    The overflow tank went bad on one of my tractors, maybe 20 years ago. There was room, so we grabbed a anti freeze jug and replaced it. Still there working fine.

    Unusual Noise when glow plugs cut off

    OK, we did a battery check & believe it is good. By the time we opened the hood, hoping to get closer to the noise, it was very short & we could not determine where it was coming from. We put a battery maintainer on it. Will try to check again when cold and have the hood open. I presume this may...

    Unusual Noise when glow plugs cut off

    Recently started making about a 2 second chattering noise as the glow plug lite goes off. Kubota L4610 HSTC, 4000 hours. If we cycle the glow plug, it will do it each time. I figure something is about to quit working. Any help appreciated.

    Kubota L4610 electrical problem (need help please)

    I remember one time in past, my L4610 alternator quit charging. We took it to the shop and they told me it was OK. Put it back on, then found the wire broken. Can't remember exactly where, but think it may have been only 24" away from the alternator. I think it may have been inside a protective...

    Kubota L4610 electrical problem (need help please)

    Like Roadworthy said, engine 1/2 throttle, should have at least 13 volts at battery. If not, check between battery ground post (actual post, not the clamp) and a metal portion of tractor frame. any volts above 0 equals a poor ground connection somewhere. Check between battery ground post and...

    Finding a buried water line

    We needed to locate a underground wire we installed several years ago. Googled how to do this, and found this. It worked. You might have it around the house, if not, I think we purchased the cheapest portable AM radio for about 10.00. Turn all power off to the cable you are searching for. Pull...

    Grapples. Whats the best tine spacing?

    I think mine are about 9", but we made a 12" plate which bolts on with 4 bolts, and we can pick up dirt. Leave it on 90% of the time, but can take off if wanting to pull roots. We like that we can push, level, dig, when the plate is on.

    Raising The Throne?

    We moved our old short one to the barn also, but, it was a concrete floor, so we set a little form, filled it with concrete and made a lift, just big enough to mount the commode. Now it is taller.

    Raising The Throne?

    We have replaced one of ours with the taller one. Helped a lot. We also added grab rails, also helps a lot. Getting close to where I think I may have to install a electric hoist.
