I went ahead & logged into ebay and indeed, I have a message from them stating that they need my full ssn and dob (or something other)

Not related to original questioni but thought I might ask since this has some eyeballs. VERY infrequent seller on ebay. Seems if you now sell enough volume, I suppose they are going to issue a 1099?? If that's accurate the next might make sense. I normally use my desktop for things (like now...

My wife's cousin (lives next door) bought himself a new pontoon boat. Not that I was looking to acquire a boat, he then tossed me the keys to his old one and said "It's yours". (we are always helping each other on things so he's a bud too) Anyway, haven't used it as a new owner yet. When we...

I recall 'Cowboy Doc'. If I'm correct, he was an ER physician. His (daughter I think) did some kind of competitive rodeo where she rode a horse around barrels or maybe lassoed something. Heck, she's probably got grandkids by now lol. I discovered this site as I was looking for a Kubota...

lol, the Garage is 9' high. The question isn't how high is the ceiling but rather, how far out into the driveway do you intend to use it? I'm currently using a 12g 100' that is plugged into the interior wall. I'm trying to get away from 100' (hence the 50) and I'm going to run a power line...

I appreciate the comments. I've found most of these listed. I was hoping for folks to be able to say "Brand "X" might be expensive, but you're getting what your paying for"..... or "Brand "X" is simply junk" Went to two stores today. I was expecting to see something pedestrian which I did...

Changing direction in garage to add a (probably ceiling mount) cord retractor. Turns out there are a number of brands. Looking for ideas: Plastic or metal construction? (I prefer metal, but open to better ideas) I'm looking for 50 feet, 12g, want three plugs on the end of it. I don't care...

"The Rest of the Story" Ordered a rebuild kit. Arrived today. I already had the lid off the nailgun. Having never done this before, took me probably 15 minutes to pop the cylinder out, FIND the silly seal (that hides with the color of the cylinder), find the gasket INSIDE the circumference...

reels.... never even entered my outer realm of thoughts! love this place (y)

its a garage, not a shop. wife has shelving along walls and center of garage. no way (yet) to attach along walls which is when i looked up, thinking i can string through joists and hang an outlet if i ever get her stuff out of garage, i can rewire

You've got me thinking. That said, I already have the wire, standard 12-2 wg. Using the single stranded wires, never even crossed my mind. (I also already have boxes and breaker). What I was thinking (please tell me if I'm the moron my wife sometimes insists I am!!!) What I was thinking...

We moved some stuff around in the garage. The garage essentially has zero outlets in there. Brother in law (electrician) thought it was going to be a finished room.... had bare block walls, so I suppose he was waiting for the studs to go in. They never did! I think I've seen workshops that...

Never heard of it...but that is an excellent point you make! they must have copied the entire website.

My gut instinct is to think scam, scam, scam.... Then I think, geez, it's not 2-3 items, it's like 500 items..... THEN, I think, well.... might be easy enough to copy/paste or maybe redirect Do I need to get my ccard out? https://usa-snap-on.shop/

I used to resent (I think it's the Ford 150) drivers where they have a "C" shaped light....over and under. The rudeness of them driving with their brights. I happen to drive a Honda Accord so I'm closer to hugging the road than they are. Flashed my lights before...nothing. Now I'm convinced...

Which is the crux of my point. Before assuming (and we all might know what that might mean, unless you want me to hyphenate the word?) :) you presumed unit was never oiled. You presumed it was rusted out.... you should perhaps ask more clarifying questions before making such presumptions...

Gee... seems I have, almost every time I use it, unless I'm putting a single nail in. Even yesterday planning 5 nails, I searched until I found my bottle of oil, hidden behind some spray cans. Wrong :) Wrong again, interior is clean as a whistle, if not "wet" because of the oil that has...

I've got one of these. Wife & I do various things around the house and I bought it new number of years ago. Not being used professionally, it's lived an easy life. Yesterday, needed to scab a 2x4 onto an existing 2x4... just need 4-5 nail shots... pull out, get plugged into air compressor...

Yeah, late comment! :) I agree. 20 years ago, father in law had farm timbered. I did NOT much care for the crew that did it but, that wasn't up to me. (left litter everywhere....done with oil can/gallon jug? Just toss it aside) Their slash pile was quite large. I was out there one day...

Oh, but there's more. I gave you the abbreviated version.... :oops:

I've not read past page one yet... Are you going to have some form of stereo or more to the point, a HT entertainment system? Mine isn't a typical plug in and set the speakers. I biamp (need 2-channels per speaker), wanted to plan ahead in case I put a tube amp at the front mains... Had a...

Who, ME, be misunderstood? Pffffffffffffft!!! Just ask my wife.....no, wait,don't ask my wife! :oops: That is however, a good point. As it happened, the "local dealer" (probably 3-4 hours away) said he grew up in the same (and VERY VERY small) town I live in so we were sort of instant...

Mower is probably 30 years old.... company (Terrain King) was bought by Alamo as I'm suspecting Alamo wanted the Hydraulic mower (they make a near clone of it) They then pushed all Terrain King versions out to some kind of "dealer" network.... still confuses me a bit! I call Alamo, they push...

I've got a hydraulically powered (off the PTO) flexwing mower. 4x speed increaser hangs on the pto and the pump is attached to the speed increaser. Otherwise, mower is 100% hydraulic. Talked to dealer and he said I could (should?) use SAE 85-140w gear oil. Had "a voice" in the back of my...

lol, this is like talking to my wife.... Setup: She comes home from shopping/other..... yells & screams at me that they missed taking off a coupon that she had. Next day, she's set to go to family reunion and absolutely refuses to take her baked hash browns..... 'because she's so mad at...

I'm missing something here.

I've got a hydraulically powered 15' mower. Yellow part is the speed increaser. In my case, it multiplies the 540 by 4. I also have a 1,000 pto and, they make a 1,000 pto version of same thing. Cast steel so it's "heavy as lead". I've wondered about getting a PTO powered generator and if...

I'm confused.... if you (ostensibly paid) for a survey of your land and the border was "here", now you know. Why do you care where his fence is and why would the surveyor need/want to talk to you about it being set back at all? Should the surveyor let you know that the guy's barn is 100' set...

Just for kicks.... what if their fence wasn't there? Would you in the future "have acquired" hundreds of feet, towards their house? Seems to me that adverse possession is more a process of someone trying to take a piece of land.... not having it forced upon you because of a fence line, no...

I was going to make a comment on prior page, figured I'd best read to end to see if someone mentioned this, you did so thanks! As has been said: 1. To contribute to a Roth, you or spouse must have earned income. (any chance you part time as a walmart door greeter?!!!) It doesn't have to be a...

Looking at heat output, I think you're right..... stick with corded.

I'm going to get some Maple wood. Use some Ferric Nitrate on it (some kind of liquid with suspended iron dust as I think I read) and see if I can re-create this. To get the reaction in the wood, I understand it has to be heat treated, hence the gun. My hope is to make a wooden box out of...

More questions... Got to thinking how much heat does each one put out. Milwaukee = 914 BTU 14 amp hercules = 1700 watts Great, I've got an apples/oranges situation.... look for conversion and it says 1 BTU = .293 watts So, 914 * .293 = 267 watts? (this is from an HVAC site) is that...

I might have a need for a heat gun. I've never needed one on the past enough to warrant buying one so I don't have one. I've got some Milwaukee batteries so could buy a Milwaukee cordless. If I recall it's roughly $150. Looked at Harbor Freight (a place I abhor buying tools from in general)...

Yep, classy guy. wish i had pleasure of meeting him like some of you others

Number of years ago, my wife made an appointment for me to go to her (female) doctor as I'd not been in many years. She sets it up, I drag my feet....but go. (and I've told this before so if you've read it, apologies for stealing 2 more minutes of your life!) Side comment, the nurse with the...

I'm just now seeing (hahahaha) this thread. Pardon that I'm so tardy. Question if I may...can you describe the curtain? Maybe I'll describe why. 1. I now wear bifocals/progressives. (went from eagle eyes, straight to to bifocals) 2. I told the doc about the following: As I'm sitting here...

I buried mine maybe 20 years ago. Four corners of the house, took one in the rear and T-'ed into it the overflow from the (recirculating) pond. Only have a 24" bucket, so dug a 2x2 trench and dropped in schedule 40 pipe, running everything out into the woods. Never measured but combined...

Yeah, that's most of my concern.... I then have another voice that says "but aren't they ALL made in china???" (I don't know that but presume it to be true) So, now, if they're all made there, are they the same thing? (shrugs shoulders)

Have some 18v tools. Don't know sizes, but I have two "small" batteries and one larger. the larger battery after a "full" recharge, still has one indicator light out, indicating it's not fully recharged. Been debating on getting on/two more of the larger capacity batteries but when I see the...

I hate being cold. Let me repeat, I hate being cold. Even in the East TN climate, I hate being cold. (I'm originally from Ohio) Anyway..... any recommendations on one piece, insulated coveralls for working outside that are warm? I've got an old (oily & tattered) unit I wear.... I'll wear...

Had several of the "D" cell Maglights, swapped them over to a LED bulb..... on a whim, (since my cordless tools are Milwaukee) bought the Milwaukee search/spotlight...

. Yep, should..... but doesn't. When I got the machine 20 years ago, the "flipper" that drops onto the pin to hold hoe upwright, had been broken and welded back. Also, the 'brake lever' used to actuate the flipper up/down didn't work. I literally had to reach out, lift then with other hand...

I lower mine. I sometimes see a backhoe bucket or hay spear or something and it's way up in the air. Machine is off and not a sole around. Cleary they parked it that way. Drives me nuts seeing that. Years ago, I was cleaning up some stuff on backside of farm. Place had been timbered (so I...

Bit of an update (I can only tinker with this on Saturdays....) Today, I had off as I had a Dr's visit so removed another wheel and I THINK we've finally figured out all the numbers. Bearing is a Timkin L44645 and the race is L44613. Did an Amazon lookup and as a pair, looks like it's $159...

Waiting for an inner wheel bearing to arrive for my 15' flexwing mower. I already have the outer assembly. Memory from 40 years ago says: (after all is assembled correctly and greased up) 1. Tighten to an appropriate torque.... 2. BACK the nut off say, 1/2 turn then slide cotter pin through...

Got to thinking, there has to be some kind of tool to help install the race's.... finally found some. Going to take the units I pulled out to see if I can do a prefit so I know I'm getting something that would fit perfectly. Now, I won't have to beat on it!!!

Bit of an update and a question.... I took the bearings to local auto places..... NOBODY has/had them unless I wanted something that 'should' fit but, made in china. For all I know, the Timkins might be made in China but I wanted to keep the same numbers. Finally went online, found both...

Yep, thought crossed my mind (finally!!!) Has six wheels, only one (folded wing) other up in the air. Just took it off and looks like I can get the big one (seems to be ok but I'll probably replace everything) for under $50 and this small one, the one that blew up, for $10-20 depending on...

Exactly! When I first did a search, I was finding hubs for similar amounts, so just merrily and ignorantly went about my search, then (recalling that my version of Terrain King is no longer part of Alamo, started searching on Terrain King.... and found what I found) So now am expanding my...

Digging deeper into the parts manual, it says "Bearing Asy, Outer (00752747 Cone & 00752748 Cup) S/N 41143 up" I would equate the cup to being what I would call the race. Is the cone what they're calling the bearing?

https://www.messicks.com/ALM/3928?sectionId=75694&diagramId=65879 If I posted link correctly..... Wheel fell off my flexwing mower. Dug into it yesterday. Hub has two bearings, inner and outer. Inner is intact, outer self destructed, which allowed wheel to pull off spindle. (mower was made...

Wife wants to build a detached garage. She also wants to buy a new Fridge for the kitch....move the kitchen fridge down to the CURRENT garage and replace the CURRENT downstairs refrigerator. Getting rid of the current downstairs fridge. Enter idea of detached garage. I'll likely plumb power...

Any links? (what do you consider "well under"? I've seen a 60 gallon Quincy for roughly $1,800 (which I rounded to $2,000 for simplicity)

If this happens, it will be a new building with its own independent power from the service provider, so I could wire anything I want. Years ago, I had an oil-less unit.... it didn't last long. Current unit is oiled. If we do the garage, I like the idea of locating compressor somewhere and...

Wife wants to build a detached garage. It will need it's own seperate electrical service (I think). Current garage would be converted into another room. I have a 20 gallon Campbell Hausfield compressor (horizontal) on wheels. GENERALLY, this has been good enough however, I've used a grinder...

thank you. if i do this i suppose plan b would be to use the power cord and add some other surmountable issues

I use a laptop for work. Attached to it I have an Asus "Signature Pad" monitor that connects via USB-C : USB-C. At home, I add a third monitor and this is a normal desktop that uses an HDMI port on the laptop. Having an extra monitor for space, (when I'm at the worksite) would REALLY help...

I'm not too knowlegable on all the different clutches. With that, here's my thoughts: I'm on hilly terrain. I once had (rented) a Kubota L-35 with the GST transmission. I was on a slope, went to change range, direction, gears....something (been 20 years, don't recall) and what I did NOT know...

You asked about 12....so I don't qualify. I've got a 15' and to add to that, it's hydraulically powered. Given it's hydraulically powered (separate PTO pump and fully enclosed system), it could in theory (forgetting about any inherent dangers) cut with the blades vertical. There's no...

Are you randomly related to my wife? HA! I'd almost bet if I REALLLLLLLY looked in my garage, I could find three of them. She used to proudly tell me when she was a little girl, she was always prepared.... her family would go out to lunch and she'd have napkins, bandaids, maybe an extra roll...

My issue (primarily) is, before I realized how rare these seem to be, and I knew I was going to replace it, I took it to the recycle center....after all, I had a new one on the way. Oops. Seems that was a mistake.

Might add.... I've reached out to some of these sellers to ask if it would fit a tapered drive.... and that has been a major fail. Nobody can put eyes on it...nobody cares to check... it's "order it and return if it doesn't work" sigh...

The replacement clutches I've found (which area not the correct fit) seem to be from China. No idea if other locations make them or not. So far, it seems I need a serial number of my gator to be sure about replacement part.....and there is no tags at all (all I have is that embossed number on...

I've got this Gator. Belonged to wife's cousin next door so I know most of its history. There doesn't seem to be ANY tag on it with a serial number so I'm blind to that question. Embossed under the passenger seat is what appears to be: W00? (B or 8 or maybe P) X4X073915 Long story...

I suppose we've all had our own close calls with the little devils. Hopefully you all know this but if you don't (like I didn't) you can acquire an allergy to these little buggers. 20 years ago, November 30, was cold outside. These little buggers are VERY lethargic because of the cooler...

would it *necessarily* have one and if so, where would it be? path seems to be tank to pump, pump to circuit one or two, back to tank. rinse & repeat. one circuit has the two motors, 1,500 psi relief each, other circuit has single motor, 2,500 psi relief.

Yep, got filled gauges and they still bounce. PSI rating is 2x that of the stated pressure relief. (3,000 gauge for 1,500 pressure relief and 5,000 gauge for 2,500 pressure relief) Check!

A bit of an update. Yesterday, I cobbed the three gauges into a board with cutouts and got the third T mounted. Hooked gauges up and went out for a test. First thing I noticed.... the right (recently rebuilt) motors gauge was boucing around like a kid in a bouncing house. The left (second...

If it matters, I think the mower has a 75 HP minimum tractor size and I'm using a IH 1066 which I think has 125 at the PTO. (got it primarily so it could STOP the mower going down some of our hills)

To be blunt, I'm trying to make sure the relief valves are close to where they are supposed to be. Short story made longer.... o_O The first set of blades (first motor in the circuit) started to cut "most" of the grass but, would leave a lot of it laying down as it bogged down. I had...

Pressure hose comes from tank to the first motor. The "T" and gauge are at this T, just prior to motor. Exit hose goes to next motor and just before entering motor, will be the second T on this circuit. The third has its own hose/drain but it will also be plumbed in just prior to motor...

Another queston if I may... Two motors are on one circuit. Given I have no clue where the reliefs are currently set, here's my question.... If one of them happens to be "reasonably" correct and the other one is way out of wack... I presume the out of wack unit would be weak so blade...

I just rebuilt one (of three) hydraulic motors. Had a small leak where the shaft comes out at the bottom. (this is on a hydraulically powered flexwing 15' mower) Got things back together, cuts much nicer. Plumbed in a single pressure gauge (no time for the other two yet) The breakaway PSI...

First, welcome to the forum! Second, if this turns out to be our issue, do you know of a 'fix' for it or do you live with it or just avoid the second tank? I've not heard anything yet from wife's cousin with regard does it happen on tank one, tank two or changing between.

Know of any ways to try to rule cherry in (or out?) I think my grandparents had a drop leaf table. I think it was cherry (it's at Dad's house). My memory said it "felt" VERY hard and would have been hard to dent. This is also my understanding of hard maple. I didn't go wild, but just...

Forgot to mention, some of these boards have TINY holes in them. I have no idea how long this has sat there, my first thought was termites, then recalled maple can have this (but I'm guessing this isn't maple) Just wanted to note there are tiny holes in some of it. Tiny as in about the size...

Wife called me yesterday. She's at an estate sale. Place out in the country, last day, closing in 2-3 hours.... has a pile of wood. She's told it's white oak. She wants to build a greenhouse, thought this might be good to use for shelving, screw backing to maybe mount something on the...

Forgot to add..... manual transmission, again, if that might matter.

I'm told it's 1989 F-150, early adoption of the fuel injection and maybe smog stuff. Has two fuel tanks, gas engine, straight 6 but I have no idea of engine size, if there were different engines. My wife's cousin next door, bought this several years ago to be a farm truck. (go get diesel...

Don't know your terrain. We've got a (diesel) 444 here. Though it's now parked in the woods (wife's cousin next door owns it), I'm the primary person who's used it for the last 25 years prior to being banished. I've always felt whomever designed the brakes on that should be disinterred, biach...

what do they say... "pics or it DID happen!"

I'll just refer to you as "BD" or, Brother Dufas! (y)

Wife & I replaced the handrail on an elevated deck off a back bedroom. No great shakes. Got the parts, measured, stained, cut....now getting ready to install and she notices one of the stiles (?) that hold all of this...was loose. Looking closer, seems when this was refinished several years...

Forgot to insert the quote in above post.

I've got a thread about relief valves. The leaks are probably my fault. I had tinkered a bit with the reliefs then, tried to put back.... back to adjusting them.... so they're a mess. I need to get some gauges so I can deal with numbers & facts. At one point, I'm pretty sure they were too...

case drain is on first motor, this is probably second motor that receives from first. no drain on this one

Hydraulic mower. I've rebuilt the motors that power the blades several years ago. Discovered I've got some dampness UNDER the deck....so something is leaking. Not a blow out leak but leaking none the less. (first start this spring, mower was VERY low on oil and I was baffled as to where it...

Question... (this has been on my mind and we have company in a couple weeks to this has risen in 'my' priority.....but not sure of the wife's.... her priority might be to make sure the petunia's are planted... :rolleyes: Anyway.... I might just buy some gauges and maybe leave them in place...

Oh, and I'm going out of town for a near week.....so I'm popping in and going to disappear again.

First, there are three motors (15' batwing) This is the first of two that are in series. This one has the supply hose (pressure) coming to it, an output hose that goes directly into the third motor BUT, this one also has a third much smaller drain hose (not sure of exact name) Frankly, I'm...

Just so you know, it drives me batty when someone posts, disappears for five years (sarcastic) and then come back to continue so, my apologies for being that person who's dragging this out. That said, I think I'm sniffing down a path now. Raised the wing and saw this damp spot. This is the...

(yeah, I'm late to the party!) I wear some in-ear monitors that are plugged into an IPOD to send some music. These will muffle "some" outside sounds. Over these, I then wear some over-ear muffs. I got the highest rated (in muting) I could find. My brother in law says he doesn't want to wear...

They're rusty BUT, not as horifically rusty as my 30 lb tank that they won't touch! So they might be re-certifiable (for all I know)

I actually have THREE out of date 100 pound propane tanks. I don't know how many times they can be recertified, they've already been recertified at least once. I'm debating on just buying a new trio..... if I do, the question is, what might I look at doing with these? if I dispose of...

others appear to be intact

If you have any left, maybe next time cut them with a 3-4' "stump" above the ground to give you something to use as a lever.

I'd say this appears to be my exact situation. Presuming the hydraulic shop (I'm now killing the idea of going to the Deere dealer) anyway, presuming they have these split teflons, I'm going to see if they'll check all of them.

Just took them out. As it happens the two identical were on the wings and the different number was on center so that part was right. I don't know how much this might matter. The very first O-ring has the little plastic "split washers" (don't really know what they're called) on BOTH sides of...

Good info, thank you! Mine is actually a Terrain King brand, prior to them being bought by Alamo. If you looked at the Alamo Falcon 15, that would be the newer version of what I've got. Called the Deere dealer yesterday to see if they can do.... manager wasn't sure and is going to ask the...

Been out of town all week, sorry so late to comment. Pulling the owners manual out, it says two of the reliefs are 1,500 PSI and the third/center is 2,500 PSI. Might I presume my local JD dealer might be able to test those? Better to go to a hydraulic shop? I looked through the manual and...

We are all slowly being assimilated....you WILL (ultimately) comply ... (n)

This strikes me as series, no? This is the only one that has a small diameter hose, going to the "cooling channel" (mower uses part of the frame as secondary resovior and I think they call them cooling chambers. I'd say yes. As I recall, hose goes from pump to this right hand motor, then...

A small update. I'm trying to relax a bit today but, couldn't resist the attraction of getting out in the hot & humid sun to swap the reliefs. Yesterday, when I cut (three foot tall grass/weeds) it cut and at times, got overloaded and blades essentially slowed down and nothing happened...

If the case drain is the third much smaller hose (this first motor is only one that has this) Frankly, I'd be nervous on removing it. This mower is probably 39-40'ish years old. The fitting where this drain goes back into the tank gets constant inspection by me..... my fear is one day it's...

I will and thank you for above. Although I'm pretty fearless mechanically, I'm not very technical..... but that (being in series) is what wasn't making sense to me. I suppose it's possible that the reliefs are out of whack or maybe one is defective.

Gotta say though, I did NOT think of swapping them nor, adding a gauge into the circuit. Both, excellent ideas (although I'd expect to smash the gauge over time.....seems to be what I do!)

Guess I might have mentioned.... all three relief valves have been replaced with new. I've actually tightened this one up a bit (1, maybe 1 1/2 turns) to see if that might help and it hasn't. I should have thought to mention that I've tinkered with them. Now, THAT said, I am presuming that...

I've got a 15' hydraulically powered flex-wing mower. 4-5 years ago, rebuilt all the motors that operate the blades (and the pump which hangs off the PTO on a speed increaser). Note that the outer two sets of blades are on the same hydraulic circuit. Fluid goes from the pump to the right side...

These aren't dead leaves from last year. I feel 99.99999999999999999999% sure about that. Too perfectly splotchy among all the trees. We have zillions of cicadas. In fact, wife has some kind of (minature?) Weeping Willow "tree" though it's only like 5' tall and hasn't really grown over the...

I'm still waiting for the part to come in. Seems it's backordered. Anyone know when the boat leaves china?? :cautious:

Walking the dogs other day, noticed clusters of dead / brown leaves on trees. Kind of ignored. On other areas of property, noticed even more of them. Got to looking and as best I can tell, they are all Oak trees. Might be red, white, "pin" oak (I don't know all the varieties by their leaves...

Yeah, done the breaker thing. another thing this thing (infrequently) does is.... BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP 4 minutes of silence then BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP 4 minutes of silence then BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP Usually, I have to kill the power to terminate that...

I have a slide in range. Model is KSIB900ESS (slide in, convection oven / Induction top) stove. Suffering "F2-E0" error. Frankly, it's been quirky since day one. There are several boards inside. I'm trying to ascertain which one I need to replace. Had a repair guy out here a year or so...

Mine get washed, every time it rains... I let mother nature take care of that however, I will say, a week ago, I had the cover off and had full access to engine (in backhoe). This part doesn't get rained on much so actually has quite a bit of dirt/dust/muck accumulated over 20+ years.... so...

Here's a couple pictures. Someone needs to create a tool that screws to the heating elements so you are not using finger tips in a recessed hole to try to align the element with the weight on the inside of the tank.... I digress. Knowing I had calcium.... when I plumbed the bathroom in the...

I've asked before about this and now, I have finally tried it. My 1-year old water heater stopped. I presumed (from past expeience) that the calcium has built up at the bottom, buried my lower element and it shorted. Turns out that was NOT the case, but the calcium pile was VERYYYYYYYYYY...

That would be the 43rd "top 50 reasons to own a backhoe"..... Nice job!! Careful if you burn that poison ivy.

....and after she's stuck in the pokey with the birds for two weeks, since she didn't know how to get out, she will not only mad as a hen..... she will smell to hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh heaven!! :sick: I think he'd be safer off just going on vacation, having a great time.... then jumping...

Gotta admit, I loved the story....(and this might get me in trouble) but especially the part of her getting locked in without having listened to how to exit. I'm going to burn in heII for having admitted that!!

yep, 1066, runs like a scalded dog. sucker is loud with that straight pipe

I need a 1/2" coarse thread stud to attach the hydraulically powered mower (15') to the speed increaser that is mounted to the PTO. Went to my local "we have everything" store...and indeed, they had what I needed. Curious, the owner asked what's it for? (he's thinking automobile) I said to...

I'm starting a rumor he also doesn't own any spoons.

Thats my HAIR.........(bozo) :giggle::oops:

picked it up yesterday. opened box to look......its painted black. all is good! i can mount & mow

Therein lies the rub.... I have nothing laying around so get to start with a clean slate!

The 'Speed Changer' that I have, blew a gear.... long story short, cheaper to buy new one (almost $4K) than replace the parts. The speed changer hangs onto a bracket so it's mounted to the 540 PTO. Multiplies the output by a factor of 4x so I can power my hydraulically powered 15' mower...

mud dauber? has to be fuel related, you need spark, compression and fuel. you presumably have compression, you confirmed spark so something is preventing fuel to go in final answer!!

its been laying on ground for over a year. partial rootball connected to ground. i cut it from rootball so might not develop much more (?) during week, ill try for another picture of bark and wood. i think the wood was very evenly colored (whiteish) unlike a cedar with the clear reddish center

took to neighbor, said it was hickory. i looked online and didnt find any looking similar. tree is one of 15 that blew down last year, im finally pulling some out to burn or maybe salvage

It is a 540 (but can be configured to 1,000 PTO) Emailed a schematic with the very old part numbers.... for just the gear and pinion, she's telling me $3,079. I did that using my phone (I hate typing on phone) so I left off AND the four bearings, AND the gasket... So I asked her (in the...

I've played email tag with the gent. I'm trying to find time where I can maybe (with his permission) swing by there to assess all he has and see if some or all of it is interesting for me to buy. Says he's 40 years in diesel and heavy machinery fixing but says he's got something like 540...

I might add, it's item 26 and 27 that need replaced. Probably should (need?) to replace the bearings and since I'm in there, gaskets/seals, spacers and the pesky adapter (#30)

Long story short: I've got a hydraulically operated 15' flexwing mower. Week or two ago, fired things up for spring.... mower is dead as a nail. Ascertained it was inside the speed increaser verses inside the pump itself, so just took apart earlier today. Confirmed, both the gear shaft and...

My tractor has something like those that slow the PTO down when you disengage it. I didn't know how to describe them so thanks!! I wondered if it had those. @joecdeere I did send my email, I'll send again in case I did it wrong.

Don't have one (yet). First goal was to simply get it running, otherwise, I'd gotten rid of machine and saved the expense. I have manual for my tractor, mower and backhoe.... The service manual for my (15' hydraulically powered flexwing) mower, doesn't even tell me what type, weight fluid to...

Minor update.... went out and started it. My gut feel is it's idle speed is in the ballpark. (just going by sound) I DID however, look at the sprocket/flywheel, whatever it might be called that the belt goes around on the transmission.....and indeed, it was turning. (very carefully) I...

never thought about idle speed, will check it out

A bit of an update with a question. I can only work on this on weekends and I won't if it's raining out.... so this has been a slow process. Tinkering today, I'll just cut to the chase... I got it started. As of yet, no new parts other than spark plugs and fuel line. I did a LOT of...

What is this tool and it's use? (I suppose the name will tell me it's use) Local diesel mechanic has a bunch of his tools listed and this caught my eye. (what caught my interest were the metric sockets which I've been looking to obtain) I might add, it appears to be what I'd call a crows...

Have a JD. No doors, no rollbar,nothing, just two seats and a rear tilting deck. Bought from wife's cousin who lives next door so I know some of the history. (only paid couple hundred) One of those "used to work fine" but he got fedup with something, bought a new one. Issues: 1. One plug...

20 years ago when I was (only slightly) dumber than I am now... The farm here was timbered. The guys doing the timbering were (in my mind) major jerks. They destroyed a lot of things supposed to be left behind as they drove their logging machinery around (far was selectively timbered)...

Though I like the idea of taking a class..... my work has me on the road covering 13 counties. I simply don't have the time to take a class. One irony? (note that I help State & local Govt employees with their pensions & 401K's) One irony is, I cover about six different technical community...

There ya go! Thank you!!

I got some stuff for gas welding. I don't have any kind of welder at all.... I've had need before to torch something and/or heat it.... so might get an Acy/O2 set of tanks to go with the stuff I acquired. Which brings me to my question. I've seen essentially two types of regulators (of...

Not advising anyone to do it but we've got a spot on a hill. Maybe 20 years ago I needed to get there to dig a flower, hide a dead body, I don't recall. Bottom line, I did NOT feel comfortable "just driving" over to it (full sized backhoe/loader) I put her into low gear. Lowered the...

I went induction for the stove. About as close as I could get to any type of gas. I figure it's a good middle ground for a stove (I still prefer a gas oven but it is what it is)

I hate you all. I so dearly wish I had access to NG.

I'm late to the thread and have yet to get past page 1..... so pardon me if the facts have changed between page 1 and now. I'm "up the road" from you (Greenback). Have some downed trees (primarily Tulip Poplar, if that's worth cutting) White Oak, some Red Oak. I'd be open to spend some $$ to...

What they all said. When I road my JCB, I notice that I'm driving in a straight line BUT, the wheel requires a (slow) but constant "left" turn to keep it straight. If I freeze the (steering) wheel position, the machine will slowly veer to the right (or vice/versa, I don't recall the direction...

Had another question about the items above. I think I've read that you can use acetyline (which is the hottest?) and you can use MAP gas.....or even propane however, each of those gives a cooler flame. Is that true that one could use propane? Reason I'm asking now is, I have three 100 pound...

If you take the job.... please do us a favor. 1. Set up a camera to record the entire event in wide angle AND a couple close up angles (multiple cameras) 2. Don't forget to take a swig of beer, crunch the can while you toss it and say "WATCH THIS" 3. Proceed.... 4. Post videos

Comment was made (I feel to be accurate) if you go to a quick change, you don't know what they're putting back in. My car (Honda) is fairly close to ground and has a cover that is under the engine, needing to come off to drain oil. Was miserable weather and I didn't want to wait to get it...

Been taking all this in.... wonder about it as I might be driving in car for 2-hours to get to destination..... came up with something else.... Who, ME.....over analyze? Pffffffffffffft!! Imagine the glass top. Personally, I like that touch! Plate glass... some dufas sets a coffee cup on...

I detest getting under anything that might squash me like a bug. I have a rock/boulder, probably 36'ish inches in diameter, sitting in front of the house. I just drive up to it, rest bucket on it, put in park, stabliizers down as my parking brake and catiously do what I need to do. (still...

A dozen years ago, I bought a roll of chain. I think I got it from Oregon maybe (??) They cut it into loops for me so a box arrives and I've got 20/30 individual chain loops in boxes ready to go. (I did this because I had taken a chain out to be sharpened.... was felling a tree and the tree...

Someone asked which version? I do not know. I doubt I've opened the cover on this book but maybe 2-4 times ever. It was on a desk at my grandparents house for decades so over 50/60 years, I've always been fearful of "playing" with it (opening it to see what's inside.... I know for example...

You guys have been fantastic. I might still have some cobwebs in my head but this is a general thought of what's in my mind. I'm leaning on the "cake plate" idea. Base is the bottom. a 3/4" lip around the center section. The center is where the bible will reside. The lower lip will be for...

This one also crossed my mind (presuming we're on same page).... what stumped me was how would I attach essentially the front and back "walls" that would be free standing AND keep them strong. Don't think I'd trust just a dado (or is it a rabbit) with the wall glued in. I see a free standing...

Not to be pun-ish..... but there's thinking outside the box!!! I really like that idea.

im thinking same issues with the four sides verses wood sides not giving good room to grab it. bible has supposedly been rebound by father but it shows its age and frailty. im mortified that the act of putting or taking out will possibly damage something. im not a wood worker which is why...

Side comment, I know the lid/hinge format of this box won't work with the Bible box.

Number of years ago, I made a box for my wife's niece. She wanted it to be purple, so I used Purple Heartwood. Think of similar dimensions but slightly bigger AND distinctly deeper for an upcoming box. Details: 1. Box would be used to house/display a family bible that is easily 100 years old...

Would you call your banker to thank them that the "X%" interest rate on your CD made you $20K? Most people don't. That's simply a process of mathematics. What he was really, appreciative of, was he had no clue what and how a muni-bond worked and was inserting a bit of blind faith into what I...

update, installed new radiator yesterday.

Unable to read full article, seems you have to be a subscriber. That said, there are various types of bonds.... a couple: 1. "G.O." = General Obligation: This type bond is covered by the full taxing authority of the unerlying issuer. So, if that was an Orang County GO bond, they can...

This isn't investment advice, just throwing some spageti on the wall to think about. 1. Rather than a traditional CD, you might look up a 'market linked' cd. Still FDIC insured but now, instead of the bank taking your money and lending it out for credit cards, loans, other.... it might be...

Ahh... you guys.... keeping me on the straight & narrow! I DO agree with everything, just for the record. What I'm trying to do (which might change, now that I've looked and know the issue) was simply make it driveable and telling prospective buyer why I have 2-gallons of distilled and a...

Have a 2005 Toyota Camry. Has roughly 280,000 miles. Runs smooth as a watch. I travel over 13 counties for work so finally felt it's not worth the risk of me being 2-3 hours away and have something fail so I now have a new car. This is TWO YEARS ago. The Camry gets driven "every now & then"...

Heh, actually made me chuckle as it brought back a memory. 20 years ago, cutting a different location.... (open field) I was merrily cutting away when all the sudden things "plopped" on and around me. Befuddled, I looked up, down...sideways.... Seems I had run over a snake that had...

I don't hunt (but live in woods so see dozens of them). I've not seen any spots on them for a while now. I DO see smaller deer meandering in the fields. They act like they are young. Definatly not well versed in what a Pyrenese dog who's on a leash barking violently at the deer as they just...

One wing of my 15' mower ran over it. Hard to tell if it was sick. It was beyond injured. Rather than emaciated, it had a mangled and diced look about it. Was unfortunate to see. one of those things I'd be ok if I could 'un-see' it. This is what I'm thinking (hoping). Would have been a...

Yesterday, was out cutting a field that hasn't been cut in over a year. Weeds are/were six feet high in some areas. I came around for my second or third pass.... and saw a deer laying there. It had been run over on the prior pass. Wasn't a pretty site. I'm a bit dumbfounded. I've had...

I also have a 430. Use it for mowing. Bought it used. The belt that drives the blades, broke.... ok, I don't know how old it is. Went to JD dealer to replace..... HOW MUCH IS IT????? Yikes! I'll take the less expensive version of the same thing (from same dealer, it was an off brand)...

Went to dealer to buy an oil filter for my Accord. They were "having a sale" so I bought four of them. Taped onto each one of them was the crush washer for the drain plug. 2-3 months ago, was at dealer to buy some spark plugs for upcoming plug change (recommended at 100K miles, am currently...

Wife went to an estate sale, dragged me along as she needed help loading some things in trailer. Saw some things (like a Bostich pneumatic floor nailer that looked like it had only put down a single room of flooring.... for $50) Anyway, saw this and got this along with another box, primarily...

Does an industrial backhoe/loader (JCB) count? How about my JD 430 (diesel) garden tractor that I use as a mower? If not, then I only have one. International 1066 with a 15' flexwing to cut a couple fields. (all three get used but I probably use the backhoe the most)

David meets Goliath.....

"someone I know, knows someone who knows someone" and this someone had a third cousin twice removed.... None the less... his buddy built his own tube amp using these monsters. Posted a picture of them and OMG, these things are glowing BRIGHT blue (as I recall) but they really stuck out. They...

Wow.... yes that appears to be it! His vehicles were gone and the vehicle for these might have been gone for decades.... but his shelves were jam packed with boxes and boxes and even more boxes of electrical stuff. So I presumed it was electronic related. Showed to my (electrician) brother...

Wife went to an online estate auction.... bought a shelving unit and everything that was on it. It was clear this guy was some form of electronics person. I'm thinking he worked for the original AT&T or Pac Bell or something like that as he had loads of things that were phone related. Mouse...

was a bad pump. replaced it, was 360 out of phase, rotated shaft and (essentially) fired right up. stripped bleeder valve, new one arrived yesterday, going to try to replace today or tomorrow

My niece (41/42 years old with some drug issues in her past) found herself pregnant. During this, they ascertained that the child had Edwards Syndrome...

I've seen sparks coming out of an exhaust. I never delved into it to find out but I always presumed it might have needed a valve job (ran ok though) or maybe it was buildup on the exhaust side and glowed red hot then released and flew out the pipe. Don't know. None the less, ever heard of a...

1. No way I'd (personally) use teflon tape.... only way to be 100% sure it doesn't get into the system is to keep it out of the system. 2. The fitting itself (external contacts) are NOT stripped. It's evidently stripped on the INSIDE where the valve tightens down. 3. I've already ordered a...

Had to put new fuel injection pump on my IH 1066. Got it working, went to cut a field. Got off machine (while running) and noticed fuel dribbling out the air/bleeder that is mounted above the filters. Bit of backstory... while working on pump, I decided to replace filters. During...

I'm not familiar with your machine & setup.... but 20 years ago, I went to clean out the fuel tank on my backhoe/loader. Mine has an approximate 1" bung on the bottom of it, no idea about yours. I removed the bung (after emptying the tank) and took my pressure washer to the insides as best I...

Also, New Holland "Master Tran" (or Ultraction if I recall??) Be prepared for some sticker shock.... (presuming you are not yet aware). For me, it's roughly $150 after tax for a 5-gallon bucket of Hy-Tran. Found it 10/15 dollars less expensive when I found a small local dealer that I didn't...

I bought my JD 430 diesel used for $2,000 five plus, years ago. Was a good choice. Going used changes some of the dynamics.

When I replaced my riding mower, I purposely looked for a diesel version. Don't have a particularly large yard.... but the real reason I wanted diesel was to simplify fuel. I wanted to get away from storing gas for mower and then diesel for tractor. By getting a diesel mower, I've gotten rid...

Put new fuel filters on tractor....but, concurrent with that, engine died (died first and then went to change filters before firing back up) Long story short, don't seem to get any fuel at the injector so my question is, if I take fuel lines off at this round head.... wouldn't I expect to get...

peace to her and your family.

i too have blown oil out the filler tube...oops

if i recall correctly, my industrial shows front bucket fully dumped and on ground. stabilizers down and hoe turned fully to side.

I've got nine, 5-gallon jugs. Just bought four of the wide mouthed JEG's type as they are MUCH nicer to fill than the narrow mouths! I go through enough with the JCB and International that I'd like to have a tank here but then I need to find someone to bring it here. I'd really like to have...

I'm sold on a hybrid. I needed a new car, a friends son had passed so I bought his Honda Accord Hybrid. I DO try to drive it very carefully as I get reimbursed for my mileage (higher MPG's I get, the better payout for me) I started being VERY conscious on how I was driving maybe eight months...

Not to belabor a thread that's withering.... but I don't believe this wouild be the case. They lost 100% belongs in hurricain Katrina (New Orleans area) and bluntly, have never really recovered. Wife/Mother was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer so they've been battling that (I think...

Short direct answer, followed by a meandering comment: I don't know what your answer might be, but whatever you/he might buy, I'd make sure the sizes are STAMPED into the sockets for example. I bought some sockets.... they have the sizes PRINTED on each socket.....well.....wear & tear, rubs...
