    Need some help with go kart governor

    So I got my son a go kart for Christmas and it is plenty fast enough on flat land. Problem is we don’t have much flat land. You have to traverse a hill to get to the area I’ve made into a track of sorts. My son can make it about halfway up before it will no longer turn the tires. I’ve adjusted...

    Fabric tractor shed

    I started my shelter logic 12x20 garage in a box the other day. Had an hour of daylight to get to here. Hopefully get it the rest of the way this weekend If the rain holds off. Tractor supply had it on sale for $330. I’m not initially impressed with the size/thickness of the cover that came with...

    Starting our new life

    I also would think that there would be ice guard would be required. At least that’s what my contractor called it. It’s an abrasive black sheet of something, lol. As seen in these pictures below. When I asked him about it he told me it’s to keep the water from seeping I to the wood then freezing...

    Valve cover gasket on 4500z

    I changed it out today. I have yet to start it up yet. As you stated, that coil bracket needed to be moved. I took off the shield then the bolt for the bracket next to the manifold. I was then able to loosen the bolt on the other side and just swing it out of the way. Took a dead blow hammer and...

    Ford Tractor photo thread, lets start one!

    Saw this thread and thought I was standing in my father in laws back yard. He's got like 4 or 5 of them. Something like a 2000,3600,4600 and 7610. Here's my wife power washing the 7610.

    Tough cut mower

    It might have been mine. It was at sunset a couple weeks ago getting some warranty work done to it. Sunset is going to make me a push bar to put on top of the tough cut to help with tall woody brush.

    New Home Build. Plan Review.

    I haven't read everything in this thread but I've looked at the plans. I recently went through the house building process. We built a 3100 sq ft plus 1900 sq ft unfinished basement. 3 kids age 6 and under. That playroom will NOT keep them contained. No way. Ours is about the same size as that...

    House with a basement

    I have always had walkout basements. One piece of advice I can give you that I haven't seen mentioned yet is to go with steel I-beams to really open up the basement. We went with 12" I-beams and the support posts are MUCH further apart than if we went with wood. It would have been something like...

    Countertops

    We did quartz when we remodeled our 100 year old house in 2010. Then we we built our house in 2016 we went with quartz again I, personally, do not like any granite that I have seen.

    Jenn air Oven outer glass-" sorry we don't stock that part any longer"

    When we built the new house we just picked what we liked. Kitchen aid ovens and fridge. Viking dishwasher. GE induction cooktop. And we brought our jenn air convection oven/microwave with us. It's a hodgepodge but we got exactly what we wanted, no longer cared about the "suite".

    Jenn air Oven outer glass-" sorry we don't stock that part any longer"

    when we renovated our last house we went full on jenn aire, their "professional" line. I think it was around $8k for everything.

    Steiner stump cutter replacement teeth

    Does anyone know where to get "non Steiner" replacement teeth for their sc101 stump cutter? I recently purchased a used one and it could stand to have a new set put on. The Steiner ones are about $11 each, 24 total. I have found some that look similar that are around $4 each. 5 Series -...
