:D If they are to stupid to not know it is dangerous to pour gasoline on an open flame they definitely would not know how to put on a provided fire suit.

Thats good. Now explain how to placate the crowd of people who were hollering for the government to do something to protect the idiots trying to pour gasoline on an open flame from a container containing gasoline.

Sounds like people still do not believe that it takes five (5) PTO horsepower for each foot of PTO driven implement attached to the rear of the tractor. A JD 2025 R is rated to have 18 PTO horsepower. A four foot tiller or rotary cutter would be more than the tractor is capable of providing...

To see how stabil or marvel mystery oil interacts with gasoline take a clear glass pint jar, fill it 3/4 full of gasoline than add either an ounce of Stabil or marvel mystery oil and see if you see any floating on the top of the gasoline. My guess is both will intermix with the gasoline.

People who operate where there are thorny bushes or cactus like foam filled tires to prevent constant flats.

I would jack the rear or front up, put one of the ratcheted tie down straps around the tire and reflate the tire. I don't think sheet metal screws would with stand the force generated by the spinning rims inside the tire.

I have always had good luck with the 4100 fiber fill concrete. I also spec wire or rebar under concrete I have poured.

Jumper the starter and see if it will spin over.

My guess is the head gasket or intake valves. Also check the air filter. A easy test for the air filter is to remove it and start the engine and see if it smokes. https://www.capitalremanexchange.com/causes-of-diesel-engine-smoke-by-color/

Cylinder heads have four sides. The top is covered by a valve cover. If the cylinder head cracked on the top the water will come out the head on the top. If the head is cracked on the top near a valve guide you will get water in the oil pan and in the valve cover.

She has to be a trooper to go through what she had gone through. It has to be hard on your daughter mentally. Her setting and listening to what the Doctors are saying and knowing the consequences would be a very tough thing to do.

Time to remove the pump and check the timing. If fuel is being sent to the injectors as your test indicates to continue cranking will load the cylinders with fuel which could result in hydro lock or piston wall damage. One test you can do is remove the number one injector, re-attach the fuel...

If building a fence for horses think wood.

Had a friend that ran a garage and people would bring there vehicles to him to rotate the tires. He would lift one side of the vehicle up, rotate the tires and go to the next side. It would take him 15-20 minutes to rotate the 4 tires and he was charging 12.00 dollars.

I have a friend who purchased what he refers to as his Chinese Stihl and is quite happy with it. He uses regular bar and chain oil in it instead of motor oil. He says the instructions are also similar to Stihl‘s on using 90 octane gas...

Be really hard for someone to remove the concrete and start using the tank again.

Getting someone to pump and remove it may be a huge problem.

"Emissions from diesels are not worse than the emissions from a gas engine, they are just different and more visible." Here is what the experts say. "Black carbon particles, found in diesel engine exhaust, are 3,200 times more damaging to the climate than carbon dioxide in the near-term and...

John Deere's 5E tractors does not have DEF fluid to manage, no DPF filter to change, and no Regen process needed in the 5E 3-Cylinder. Which shows manufactures are working hard to find a solution...

Be careful. Had a friend buy a commercial property. A previous owner had unground fuel tanks that he used to fuel equipment with. The previous owner also developed the land behind the business into a housing subdivision with wells and septic tanks. About five years after my friend purchased the...

A heavy duty cable comes to the starter supplying battery voltage constantly and is attached to one side of the solenoid. Another heavy duty wire attached to the other side of the solenoid goes directly to the starter. A light duty wire come from a relay or directly from the switch to the...

Since you give Lenoir NC as your place of residence this is the only one you should worry about. 19A NCAC 02E .0403. DEPOSITING MUD ON STATE HIGHWAYS Latest version No person operating a vehicle with "dual wheels" or a vehicle equipped with four wheel drive shall track or cause mud to...

Keep a wipe rag in your pocket or close by. Wipe the edge of the device frequently. I made a paper towel holder out of some scrap 2x6‘s for footers and 2x4‘s risers bored two holes in the top of the 2x4’s and inserted a rod through a roll of paper towels. I would grab a paper towel wipe the...

Better first find out if he charges by the hour or tire. If by the hour or tire, cleaning with a toothbrush is going to take a long-long-long time.

A couple of years ago I was mowing an area I have mowed for years with the same mower. All of a sudden i was going over. My left leg was caught under the machine. I was laying on the ground thinking oh great all I need is for this thing to catch fire. Be careful what you think in such situation...

Second that Huh.

That about correct and a low price if these figures are correct. “A full cord of wood can weigh as much as 5000 pounds. It can be made of hardwood or softwood. The weight depends on the type of wood. A full cord of hickory can equal 177 gallons of fuel oil. It can also be made of balsam fir...

My simply solution to not get mud on tractor tires is to stay off the tractor when it is muddy. When you drive a heavy tractor over ground that will turn to mud and stick to your tires, your leave behind earth that is like concrete. So what did you accomplish except make extra work for yourself...

Looks like they dropped it off a truck somewhere. Hate you had to refuse. More delay.

Jeez man we go for creature comforts. We even have sleeping bags. Go to the stand shortly after dark crawl in the sleeping bag. Set the alarm on the phone and get up the next morning. No spooking of the deer stomping through the woods. This is a commercial for sale stand at Cabela's for...

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Ever sat in a deer stand at four o'clock in the morning with the cold wind blowing thru cracks in the wall behind you?

I know a guy that got a ticket for that. Called littering a public roadway. Before trying the drive on a asphalt road check your state law on grass clipping etc. Most states have a law similar to this. No person shall place or throw, or permit anyone to place, throw, or shall permit to lie or...

Wood heat is hot heat. One big problem with wood though is it also is a precious commodity. Farmers in the tobacco belt switched to a heating source other than wood to cure tobacco because the demand for wood was greater than the supply. Cutting wood is also a back breaking job. Then comes the...

Thats him, thanks.

The gentleman that was the cornerstone in Texas passed away. He was a go to guru on New Hollands and also possessed and wealth of information on other repairs. I think a group got together one time and helped him build either an addition on his home of a workshop. I think his name was Jim. He...

You have the GUTS of ******. Walking around on a metal roof at night and climbing around on ladders and scaffolding.

Sounds like the poster was caught in the living hell of the supposedly our workers are working from home.

Hydraulic Hoses contain high pressures. You have to have a coupler crimping machine and high pressure hose to make your own hose. Hydraulic hoses and not like a home plant watering or car washing hose.

Please continue taking pictures, not for posting but you personally lots of pictures as your work continues. Be photo happy on trusses, wall studs and electrical. Include a ruler showing spacing distances for wall studs, trusses, etc. Don’t forget plenty of photos were you join the existing...

I wonder what he would have done if they had condemned his house and revoked his certificate to occupy until the unauthorized addition was removed. Jeez I can visualize some lawyer retiring on such a case. Condemned houses, or houses the occupy Certificate has been revoked on has the...

Good looking work. You have more nerve than me if you are investing all that time and money without a permit.

I feel for the people in Buffalo and other locations getting the 5-6 feet of snow. I don't think even chains would help with such depth. Guys in the military talk about any and everything. We were setting sound one night talking and one of the guys said what he hated about winter was shoveling...

A lot of wood is showing. If you intend to stain don't forget the cheater devices to keep paint off of the exposed beam and wood stain off of the paint.

They create a vacuum which sucks the dust up off the ground, the blades spinning creates a wind vortex to spread or blow the dust.

Most people including me go for flat finish on the walls and matching satin finish for painted wooden trim.

Be careful. Inspect the walls closely. From the excessive dust it sounds like they used electric sanders on the walls. If they got over zealous they could have fuzzed the paper on the drywall. If they did getting a smooth flat finish will require hard work and extra primer and paint.

Watched your video. Nice scenery , but that is too much isolation for me. Maintenance of the gravel road before you get to your yet to be installed driveway will be a back breaker. About the only way in or out will be with a snow mobile in the winter. Calls for Medical care will require a long...

If me I would get a local Dozer operator to rough in the road, clear the home site, dig the partial basement. The dozer operator can push trees over and you can saw the stump off he can stack the logs for later sawing into round and push the stumps off and into a pile for burning. What you have...

Could have been alive just before you hit it with the Rotary Cutter. Turkey and deer will stay with the nest or bed although that loud noise is coming. I have come close to killing a Turkey or fawn a couple of times. So far I have been lucky.

Sounds like he has a three point hitch, after market backhoe and had the rear wheels off the ground. The rear end of the tractor twisted when using the back hoe which stressed the weak point on the tractor, the point where the front and rear connect together. A gentleman with a lot more tractor...

All I have ever used dry the air out. They suck in a tremendous amount of air circulate it around the hot fire chamber and exhaust the super heated air. They are noisy because of the air intake and open fire chamber.

I would use a propane or kerosene torpedo heater and rotate it around the house from room to room before starting the placement of primer or paint on the drywall. That’s me. Other people may think differently.

Only those who want remote start, lock , unlock or roll windows down etc from Europe or several states away has to pay a monthly fee for such services. One of the two provided key fobs at time of purchase will accomplish the same thing within a certain number of feet. No one has to pay a...

Agree with all, plus add a couple 50 pounds of lime between tiller one and tiller two pass. Depending on what you intend to plant in the seed bed I would also probably include with the lime a couple 50 pound bags of 10-10-10 fertilizer with the trace elements along with the lime.

Aw you left out the best one that I had six of one time. The fast growing and shade producer, willow oak that produces a zillion of leafs like this. https://i.etsystatic.com/24249246/r/il/b025fb/3758148998/il_1588xN.3758148998_269m.jpg
