    Aerators and farm pond...how much maintenance?

    100 ft x 100 ft pond, about 8 feet deep in the middle. One aerator runs 24x7x365 in western pa. No problems. I just clean the air filter on the pump a few times a year.

    Modular Homes - Good/Bad experiences... I am considering this pretty seriously...

    Ours is a Ritz Craft as well, however, I will say that ours is a 4 box cape and it was the first year that model was produced, so that may account for some of the issues we have had.

    Modular Homes - Good/Bad experiences... I am considering this pretty seriously...

    My modular home was built in 2005. I just replaced the roof last month because it was leaking. It was not installed right initially. Upon further investigation I will need to replace insulation because it too was not installed properly. While the home was still under warranty we had the company...

    Roof - Repair or Replace

    I live in Western Pennsylvania and we get all four seasons of weather. Our (manufactured/modular) home was built in 2005 with the ?0 year architectural shingles installed on the roof. It is a steep roof, similar to a traditional old church roof. The house is a story and a half cape code style, 2...

    Oil Furnace Powervent Issue

    I have a Tjernlund model SS2 powervent on my Trane XP80 furnace with a Beckett model A, AF series oil burner. It was installed in 2005. For the past few years, the power vent will randomly not work and it locks out the furnace. I have had the local service company out to look at it a few times...

    BX Front Axle Leak

    The pivot point on my bx2200 front axle has been leaking for a few years, more like dripping a little. It hasn't been a big deal. I use 80w90 gear oil in it, but I was wondering if a product like ATP AT-205 Re-Seal would help at all. I'll be changing the gear oil this spring as part of my...

    bx 2200 parking brake lever lock rattles

    Ever since I've had my bx2200 the parking brake lock lever rattles around and vibrates driving me crazy. This is the little metal lever by your left foot when sitting on the tractor. Does anyone else have this trouble and if so what did you do to solve it? Thanks Wes

    Flat Tire

    So, I'm at work yesterday getting ready to leave and my coworker tells me I have a flat tire. I go out and take a look at it and sure enough it is completely flat. Another coworker says he has a can of fix-a-flat in his car. I'm not too keen on using the stuff, but it also just starting...

    Hold "Stuff" on the tractor

    Hello all, I have a bx2200 and am looking at a way to attach some type of container, caddie, or bin, whatever you want to call it. It needs to be able to hold "stuff" like a cell phone, lighter, some type of ashtray/cup, and cigar cutter. I can't seem to come up with any good ideas. Anyone here...

    bx2200 Spring Maintenance

    What a day! I had a day off from work yesterday, so I decided to get my bx2200 ready for the summer. I changed the oil/filter, coolant, air filter, and fuel filters. It took a little over an hour and done?.nope. Hop on the tractor, it won稚 start. My first thought was the fuel filters. Why? I...

    Forced Air Furnace Blower Question

    During the summer I take the front cover off of my furnace blower so it will move the cool basement air through the house when I turn the furnace fan on. As you can see in the photo, I put a filter on to trap some of the dust. Our basement is above ground and I usually leave the door open that...

    Freezer on the Bottom Refrigerators

    I am in the market for a new and bigger refrigerator. I am looking for at least a 20 cu footer and am considering the freezer on the bottom. It just makes sense to me. I am mostly getting stuff in and out of the refrigerator and only once a day or so in the freezer. So bending down to look in...
