    Mixing coolant

    Big discussion in work. Can you mix the green and red coolants with no ill effects? Counting on my TBN brothers here. ;-) BTW, I don't have a horse in this race.

    2 Cycle fuel in a 4 Cycle engine

    I have a Honda 5.5 hp powered air compressor in my service vehicle, 4 stroke engine. I also have a little 2 stroke generator which was given to me. I really don't want to carry 2 types of gas as I also carry kerosene for my torpedo heater. Can I use the 2 cycle fuel in the Honda with no ill...

    5 Gallon Cans and the American's with Disabilities Act

    Sorry, another 5 gallon can rant. About 6 years ago I almost cut my hand off and now have limited use of it. Because of the new way the 5 gallon fuel cans are configured, I can not hold the spout and pour at the same time. I have to remove the spout and pour into a funnel. This makes a mess as...

    3-Point Hitch  Model 85 3 point hitch question

    Hello all, I have an old Model 85. I know, they don't make a new one. ;) The 3 point hitch has never lifted and I never really worried about it. It has an FEL that works fine, the valve is under the seat. Is there a lever that needs to be in a certain position for this to work? I really have a...

    Sis looking at a Montana

    Just heard from my sister. Her and hubby are looking at tractors around 40 horse, 4wd. The local Montana dealer must have some great deals going on as they seem much more willing to deal than the other guys. BTW Mr. Wallace, I told her to go see you! Anyway, what she was wondering, was would you...

    Window/door question

    Boy, I just wish I knew more about this stuff. Well, here is my situation. My builder has installed the Andersen windows and doors into the frame of my new house. I helped install some of the larger windows as he needed extra hands. One thing I noticed he didn't do, after I read the window...

    I am simply baffled

    I do not want to single anyone out, because I know this is very common. But, please, for the love of God, can someone please help me figure something out. Why on God's green earth would someone do hours of research and negotiating, pay tens of thousands of dollars for a machine, then put the...

    Adding Rear Hyd to a JD 820

    I'm doing a favor for a friend here. For the tractor in the pics below, I need to add rear hydraulics to work a manure spreader and some haying equipment. I'm told there used to be a FEL on this machine. That's where the valve came from. He wants to work his equipment from this valve. Am I right...

    Hydraulic oil or Tractor fluid?

    I have a test bench in my shop for when I rebuild hydraulic cylinders. All cylinders get filled with oil and pressure tested. Now some equipment takes straight hydraulic oil, some take tractor fluid, some take 30 weight oil, etc. Is there one oil I could run in my test unit which would be okay...

    3 Point conversion on A-C WD

    Finally got around to installing the 2-point to 3 point hitch conversion kit on the old Allis-Chalmers WD. It was too easy, something must be wrong. I got the kit from OKtractor.com along with the intake/exhaust manifold. That was a little more difficult. 3 studs broke. Luckily, they came out...

I have heard that there is a buy-in. Anybody know how much? It is very difficult to find any information...

    Hey soil screening builders

    I finally have all the materials to build a soil screener. Simply the kind with metal grates on an angle that you dump a load on and get the screened dirt from the other side. You guys that have built them, what angle did you put the screen/grates at? And, if you had to do it again, would you do...
