    Lowering the lawn

    That's at least 1800 square feet of concrete, maybe more.

    Lowering the lawn

    We have a 30,000 square ft. lawn surround and divided by a concrete path. The lawn is about 2 inches higher than the cement so every time it rains, the pathways get submerged and muddy. What would you use to remove 2 inches of dirt? I've thought about a scraper, but maybe there is something better.

    KY Missing Tractor

    Just saw this article stolen JD 5083E found in Kentucky. Thought I would post it in case somebody recognizes it.

    New GPS

    For several years I have been used an older TomTom one, which works fine, but has one limitation. Often I need to find the location of a business or other item, I'll look under Point of Interests and ocassionally the right place will pop up, but often it will say, nothing found. Do more modern...

    Gas cap for TO 35

    Can you crack the cap a little? This is the one we have on our TO-30. Maybe you can drill a hole in the top?

    Will a tiller pull rocks up out of soil?

    If you are loading the dirt in a bucket, you could get or fabricate a grate that you could attach to the front of the bucket. It also might work to disc first and then rake. If you are real serious about it, you could get something like this.

    Septic Tank Access

    Over the last week or so, I've been trying to find out septic tank, and finally found it, but am not too thrilled with the way it was covered. It looks like they got two 55 steel drums, removed the top and bottom and placed them over the lid and then back-filled the area around the drum and...

    Low Power in Transport gear

    I have noticed for a while that our little Shibaura tractor almost stalls going up a incline in the highest gear range. On level ground it runs fine, but once it goes up the hill, the bottom drops out of the tac. Any thoughts? We recently changed the fuel filter, but that didn't make any difference.

    Rock Guard

    This year I got tired of getting hit in the back/legs with rocks the the bushhog throws back at the operator, so I decided to try to make a rock guard for our Fergie to-30. I am thinking of making a frame that would bolt onto the holes in the rear axle out of square tubing with the cross braces...

    PTO Leak

    So I pulled the pto plate off and discovered that not only was the seal bad, but there were two chips out of the pto shaft, which shredded the inside of the seal. Will it work to emry cloth and smooth out the chips, or is it a bigger problem?

    PTO Leak

    After several years of only have a box scraper on our SD 1642, I hooked up out 4' kubota brushhog and after using it for about 10 minutes I noticed oil leaking from the PTO shaft. Any thoughts?

    Arc Welder Breaker

    If it wasn't for the distance between us, I'd swear the same guy installed both. The guy that installed ours piggy-backed off the main lugs 400 amp, but didn't run the same size wire to the sub-panel. I just double checked, and the wire is #8, not #6, so I guess I'll pop a 40 in there. The...

    Arc Welder Breaker

    I would love to, but it's a little big for me to do and the cost of getting it replaced is stoping us, but if you want to stop by and take care of it, let me know.:-)

    Arc Welder Breaker

    I was just given a Lincoln AC225, and was trying to figure out what size breaker I need to install.

    TO-30 inner axle seal

    Last year I noticed our '54 To-30 wasn't braking well, and I discovered that the left rear axle seal went bad, so over the summer I pulled the axles and replaced both the left and the right seals. Then yesterday, I while mowing, I noticed the brake pedal didn't work to well, so when I finished...
