I've got a vintage (Late 80's 318) I had problems where the Electro-Clutch would not, engage. I did the 'Air-Gap' adjustment, and that helped. Lately I've had starting problems and had to recharge repeatedly! Finally this weekend, I replaced the (11/06) battery with a 'beefy' Exide! Fired and...

I've been storing a library full of 'stuff' for building a Pole Barn. At one point I 'snagged' a picture that bore futher consideration. Since imitatation is the sincerest form of flattery, I hope the owner is not 'upset'! Can anyone point me to the owner of this beauty?

Sorry to bother you guys, but I swear I saw a 'homebuilt' that was slick in that you backed it over the logs, and chained it up to a sliding ring, that would ride up a round tube and elevate the 'butt end' on your forward progress. I can't find it! The contributor even gave a link to YouTube and...

Edit: (It's an "M") I'm getting a little further along on mine, and after looking at the wiring, I had to do something! Surfed, and surfed, and finally found a place that 'fabbed' these to spec, about 15 miles from me! Quality workmanship, braided 'loom', soldered connections, a real work of...

JD "M" Needs new 'Sneakers'! I'm about to strip the rubber off my "M" to get the rims blasted and "Powder-Coated". While I'm at it, guess I might as well put some new 'feet' on it! The rears (11.2X24) R-1's are a mismatch with an Akuret on one side, and a PowerMark on the other. The front...

I may have gotten this off TBN, and sorry if it's duplication, but with so many "Newbies" in the art, I thought a reposts was in order! I'm a 'Lincoln' guy, but rods are rods, and amperage is amperage! This link is a computer interactive application, but I just ordered the 'cards' for Mig, and...

I've got a selection of 'Rods' that I've bought over the years. I'm not as 'religious' about their care, as I should be. I've had friends that stowed them in an old 'fridge' with door slightly ajar, and a light bulb in the unit to provide slight heat. Mine are on a shop shelf, in and out of...

I'm about to buy a replacement for an old plentium mounted humdifier. The old one, a 'Kenmore', had all kinds of "moving stuff"! A fan, a gear driven media wheel, and bottom tank, and floats, and valves, etc, etc, etc,,,,,,,,they all got lime coated, and besides the servicing, the deposits...

I had an earlier thread about planting Pine seedlings, or Apple trees. Any reviews on this Product? (Terra-Sorb)? TIA ~Scotty

OK My friendly 'Brain Trust', Here's the challenge: I've got a 4200 CUT, John Deere with a 47BH. Last year my sons and I helped a neighbor (and hunting land provider) plant Christmas trees! It worked well, but could be improved upon. What we did, is after the the tree locations were 'gridded...

I really don't know where to post this, but it's a "project" for my sons, and I. We are avid Deer bowhunters, on our small 27a plot in S/W NY. We've been doing the Biologic/Whitetail Institute, seeding, and food plot route, with good success. Our Buck /Doe ratio has improved, along with the...

Ken- I've got all four tubes ordered that run from the 'Joystick" to the front ports, (under the Right foot rest). Seems the plastic block that holds them together under the footrest, also holds 'salt-laden' slush from previous snow plowing! Looks like the block might have loosened enough to...

I know this has been covered before, but I searched, and can't find my answer! Since our fine government mandated the slow-flow, auto-close poly-cans, are there any recommendations out their for ones that really work? I've got a couple with the sliding, spring loaded spout-shutoff, that are...

I don't get into this end of the forum alot, so be kind! I bought a '47 John Deere "M" last fall. I'm not going to be a restoration fanatic about it, but bought it from it's second owner. First order of business was to remove the 're-route' exhaust manifold and restore it to a straighht up pipe...

I just chimed in on the chainsaw thread below. then noticed all the "Won't start out of storage.." Runs rough, "...worked great before.." and related posts! Thought I'd start a Thread to put all your 'brain-power' in one spot! Any cures for this government mandated crap that they make us use...
