On average I get my tractor stuck pretty good at least once a year, I live on the edge of a wetland that I try to mow the reed canary grass but too swampy to get to when it needs attention for real control... In the 9 years I've had my tractor I think I've only skipped one year but have been...

I'm pretty sure it's just for tire clearance, metal is thinner and fine in a small area like that... 2" is 2"...

Yeah, but of all of them Kershaw is the only one that does the factory sales :), above all else I'm a cheap bastage...

I looked harder to get an analog version on Amazon, I think I got the 10L size, no regrets... Depending on what you're doing size matters some, the 6L size like Harbor Freight just started carrying last year is a decent starting point but like said the bigger the better... I like the 10L size I...

Yeah, that... my brother has like 6? of the 3-6 cylinder Ford tractors and there's two heights of injectors, he's only bought 3 replacement injectors though for the 4600 but apparently there's only a few different injectors between the whole range of everything... we put one of those injectors...

If a liner lock fails like that it is not because of the design, it's a fine tuned setup and it was either dirty or shouldn't have passed inspection, Kershaw actually has a pretty good warranty, I work down the street from their Tualatin Oregon facility and they have a factory sale every year...

Yeah, that's water in the trans fluid, probably sat outside and got in from there over the years... would drain and fill with UTF...

If I was retired or something I wouldn't care, but I work for a living and like to do stuff outside in my "me time" so I greatly appreciate my extra time in the evenings! It doesn't really bother me, what's annoying is all the politicians changing when it happens every few years (could have...

Anyone that uses the Bauer 20V tools and uses a Dremel on occasion do yourself a favor and get the Bauer flex shaft rotary tool that takes the 20V batteries, it's fantastic... way more torque than a Dremel and the flex shaft is like 30% more flexible...

I've used the sub $20 soldering iron plastic welder from HFT and it works fine, do NOT press as the copper tip will break at the 6mm threads going into the iron when hot... but I've successfully ran a die down it and it lived again... it comes with some stainless screen material which you can...

sort of, in stick welding the rod size is the size of the steel on the inside, the flux on the outside dictates the other properties. For wire welding the amperage is transferred in the arc like in stick welding but the feed rate of the wire is varied and changes the amount of filler material is...

I don't think the 3 cylinder engines are too picky other than being gas or diesel, not sure if all of the displacement options had the same size valves or not. Likely if you find a 3 cylinder Ford 2000 or 3000 the head will likely work as well

My brother got their 3/4" breaker bar last year to break tractor lugnuts (couldn't find the rest of his kit, but we found the right socket), put a 6' pipe on the thing and it worked fine, I think it was a ratcheting breaker bar or something with course teeth...

I got one a few years ago from Amazon since I have a flexible liner and the cap is clamped to the liner... plus like said above I have a 12/12 roof and until a year ago my overhead power was within arms reach of the only place to put a ladder next to the chimney... when I use it I use the...

Good point, the heat shrink butt connectors designed for that use are pretty serious, a year ago I replaced my well pump after it'd been underwater for around 9 years (lots of silt and a whole bunch of sand when it was first put in so the impeller was shot, took out the valves in the water...
