We used to have fire ants here. Godless creatures. Their sting worse than their name and they would gang up on you. Seems they had a signal or something to all sting at once. Then came the crazy ants that ran them all off. Now the crazy ants are gone and we have giant black ants that gather...

Did you hear me slap my forehead?

I haven't cut my "front yard" for over a year. Little of no rain keeps the growth down. Except for Mesquite scrub and Cactus. That stuff must make its own water. :rolleyes: Once I get the tractor going (fuel leak), I'll cut the front with the rotary to get it down. After that, I use the flail...

Welcome to the forum, mates. 👍 Don't be strangers. 🤠

Then your hoses must be too short. My three-sets of couplers are mounted on brackets, and I've never had a problem. Soon to be a fourth.

My sincere condolences go out to you and your family. It's never easy losing a loved one. I pray for your grace, strength and protection during this time of loss. Just know that while I'm not there, I share your tears. 😢

I can't see it from here. Is there supposed to be a picture? Most non-transmission-based reverses use a pulley that moves between a drive belt to change direction. It's really a simple mechanism and doesn't require a clutch.

I can tell you without a doubt, HF welding gloves will NOT protect you from the jaws of a Cardinal bird. They can pinch right through them with a good amount of finger skin included. 😲 When I used to grow grapes around the garden, I covered them in netting one year. One morning I found a...

The manual says to retract and stand it up while in transport mode (not mowing). It has a locking pin you should insert while it's vertical and moving. I use mine vertically along the fence lines and driveway on overhanging growth. It can get pretty high up then I go along with my pole saw to...

I think all the NOCO Genius line chargers have the desulfator mode built in. Even the 1 Amp charger. Pick one that fits your wallet and speed of charging. I think the 10 Amp is as high as they go.

I have the BCRM-155 (61") and I can say without a doubt you will know it's back there when extended. It flattened my right rear tire until I aired it to maximum. I usually run them with just enough air to keep full contact. That was on my Ford 3910 which is about a 4600lb. tractor. The Ford's...

Animals (cattle, horses, dogs, cats, hogs, etc., etc., etc.) will go wherever there's a likelihood of food. One year, five of my neighbor's cows climbed over a fallen tree to get to my side of the fence. I wish I could have gotten that on video. I guess the other hundred or so weren't hungry...

You also mentioned a rust color when bleeding the injector lines. That's a sure sign of water in the fuel system (tank, lines). You may also have clogged injectors because of the rust. I would begin with a complete flush of the fuel system from tank to injectors. And perform your spray test of...

If you use Anti-Seize on the new ones, use the lower torque number. 💔

Yes, do check the specs for your pump. It may not handle hydrocarbon solvents. What you use will depend on what you're cleaning and whether it will be painted afterward. K1 and diesel are way too "oily" for my liking. You'll have to wash the parts after cleaning if you intend to paint them...
