Well that is like a free 2 min ad! Good for you! Is the phone ringing off the hook since that went out?

I think you are confusing bolts and studs. Most German cars use bolts threaded into the spindle instead of lug nuts on studs, but the studs are not THREADED into the spindle, they are pressed in from behind. The way the statement was written was a bit confusing and took me a second and a double...

Glad you found it. I was about to suggest separating the linkage to see if the pedal returned on its own or not but you beat me to it. So...are you gonna drill and tap a grease fitting in there before you reassemble???

Probably 10 pages per mile, at least? ;)

+1 on the chain wrench. I have the silver one (or just like it) from Lou's post. You can beat on it with a hammer or add leverage to it (within reason). Expect the filter to get crushed, so this is a one-way trip. They are always super tight from the factory.

Do be careful if you use an ozone generator. You do not want to breathe that in, in any kind of concentration. It will give you an instant headache that will last a long time, at the minimum, and potentially worse. Just basically use your head when you go to shut it off and open the place up...

I think you mean 10x9...

Mine is covered with dirt. The top of it was exposed so I had the siding crew bend some heavy metal flashing down over the top of it. Termites are not a big thing up here so I wasn't especially worried about that either.

I'll pile on the grounds and battery connections. It really sounds like one of those is your issue. Sounds like you are going to take apart and clean all grounds and I would say also do that at the battery and starter. BUT... The fact that you jumped it and nothing does not quite add up, but...

It's been a long time since I had to clean any of it up on mine, but I seem to recall just plain water worked.

Well which version do you have? I know the later ones like mine have a knob that you push and turn to activate the PTO. That knob is electrical only and drives other things like PTSG said to engage the PTO. Here's something to try: Tractor fully off. Engage your PTO (knob, lever whatever)...

I hear this regularly about radiant floors taking "forever" to warm up. You see my shop up above in an earlier post. If I start up the radiant for the year while it is in the mid-upper 50's in the shop (about the point I can't stand being cold anymore) and keep working, it cycles off in an...

Looks like you have your answer. One of the big telltales I see around here as they have migrated into the region is the sprouting of new branches down low on the tree. If you see ash trees with new small branches coming out of the trunk below the main crown, odds are that is EAB. Because the...

Ha! When I taught my daughter to drive, we were out on a run and a guy approaching put his blinker on. I asked her do you know what that really means? And she knew I was thinking other than turning... "Well he could be pulling over, could have forgot it on, might be planning to turn but still...

"A few inches" is one thing but it sounded like the OP was in the "barely clears" group which is asking for it (but perhaps I misread it...?) A friend of mine had a "barely clears" garage for his L3130 (my old one that I sold to him) and one day he was pulling back in, the door was not quite...

Correct for single axle under 3000 lbs. Thus why a lot of trailers are rated 2990...

Find a local extinguisher company. It is a compressed gas cylinder so shipping will be ugly. I found a local guy here and asked for a couple CO2's for the same reason - less mess. He strongly pushed me away from them both due to cost and he said they can blow stuff around from the force of it...

You don't see wheeled excavators all that often. Typically for city use in paved areas, I seem to recall. With the cage on the window and the grapple, I am guessing some sort of logging use.

Nice plan. I would also recommend a taller door than 8'. 10' would be wise but even 9' would be better. You can still use an opener, either the track style with an extension or a jack-shaft style opener. I have the jack shaft style as mine are set up as "high lift" so they go up close to my...

Now the house was a wee bit more complicated... 😁

I did radiant in my shop and house throughout. You don't NEED a boiler to do this. I used an on-demand HW heater (nat gas) for both. You could also use a conventional tank HW heater. The one caveat I found with the on-demand is that they are super sensitive to hard water, and if you use hard...

Eddie, Tractors are perfectly legal on the roads, if they follow the rules. I think all you need is flashers/lights on and the slow moving vehicle triangle on the back. We see them regularly here too on our county roads. Just be patient and pass when and where it is safe. Although one time...

Yep. Utility locate markings.

And his daughter as "Precious Daufter" using the Olde Englishe "s" that looked like an "f". I really used to enjoy reading this thread and his posts. Sad to see him wander away from the TBN fold... I told Precious Bride to a coworker of mine who found it hilarious and started referring to his...

Well perhaps, but that is the problem...we don't know. This has become epidemic on TBN lately and sometimes it just pushes my buttons I guess... "Hey guys. I need help with the thing on my thing" Yah shore, we'll get right on that

Good Lord people! If you want help: GIVE SOME INFORMATION!!! What the heck is a 240? We aren't mind readers here...

Must be something about I80 in Iowa About 1.5 years ago my coworkers and I in a car driving back from Omaha watched a trailer disassemble itself in front of us over the space of 10 miles. We saw it starting and stayed well back but the driver was apparently clueless and just kept going...

The OP probably ran away screaming by now...

Wow! You got a lot of snow already Arly! And down here it was in the 80's today! ;)

Saw that over on Ranger5g. (y)

Yeah it is small, but that is the main reason I bought it! I was coming from an F250 ext cab with 8' bed. The 8' bed sure was nice for lumber/plywood, which is a lot of what I end up hauling, but I hated driving it as it rode, not ironically, like a lumbervagon. Plus it was huge, sucked gas...

Interesting. One of the things I have read is that Ford kept deleting minor features in model years since the reintroduction in 2019 and this may be one of them. Probably some combination of cost savings and supply chain/chip shortages. I suspect many of those deletions are related to the...

Well I have 900 miles on it already, mainly due to driving it back to the Twin Cities from Deeeetroit, so.... The major stuff I like. Ride, handling (for a truck), power/acceleration, braking, step-in ht, ergonomics (overall), comfort, size, etc. Mileage was surprisingly low, IMO. I got 20-21...

I got mine ~2 weeks ago. Couldn't find one locally so had to go out of state. They were getting pretty rare as the '23's run out and no new SuperCabs in '24 (at least so far - someone elsewhere posted that they might be bringing one out later...dunno). Had to fly over your way to Deeeetroit to...

Well that photo is much more "Hauling wrong" than towing wrong... But with the payload being a trailer, I guess it fits both categories! :oops: Geez that had to be a ride!

...or Discounthydraulichose.com. They have a good chart in their technical documents with dimensions and stuff on all the types of fittings out there. If you don't have a digital caliper, go get one as you will need it. Many cheap ones that work just fine available...

And yet you completed ignored my guess! I'm hurt! :ROFLMAO:

Clearly you were thinking of moving to Australia at one point. You would need to have it work upside down then

Oh you'll be in Tall Cotton when you do that! A logging winch is an amazing piece of equipment and a big time saver.

Is that a set screw hole on the bottom left of the joint in the second pic? Like I said earlier, I don't know this model and the pics don't tell enough for me to really have a clue. Could be pressed in place, could be you have to pull it instead of pushing on it, could be a snap ring...

Well, the key is a GOOD professional. A pro gets paid to do it. Doesn't mean they are good at it... You might think so, but in reality the actual sale price is much less important to them than getting the sale - any sale - is. For example - 300k house, they get 5% so 15k. If you sell it for...

The valve may very well be a standard 3rd party purchased item used by Kubota. If so, you may be able to find it online and get details. Look all over it and take photos for model numbers, names, etc. If you don't find anything, compare your photos to valves on Surplus Center as they have a...

Yes it works. There was a major bend in the main stem/frame that made it non-functional and I had a shop bend up a new piece and weld it on for me. It was before I was anywhere near half decent at welding and they were much better set up to bend some heavy steel and get it all right. Not to...

When I renewed my license last time a few years ago, I had a weird encounter at the DMV. I wanted the REAL ID so I would be covered for flying. This was slightly before they started delaying the intro date as some states were pushing back as others noted. I get to the counter with my form...

Remind me again why you are building a Greenhouse as a bunker underground? I'm sure the explanation is back a bunch of pages, but I am lazy 😁

I'd use your common sense and change the least number that you have to. If most of what you have are Ag fittings, change the rest to match those.

Farmi. Here is mine from a friend. He bought it in the 70's. JL-303 is what it says on the parts diagram I found

Yep, that is the right tool for lots of jobs like that. Any time something won't come loose, a quick brrrrrraaaapppp with the air hammer often shakes it free. You know you are in real trouble when it doesn't work.... Glad it helped (y)

"I said I would have everything done by Christmas" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Oh that's a good one! Wait - did you say WHICH Xmas? :ROFLMAO: The reality has to be "it'll get there when it gets there". Ya do the best you can but don't put pressure on yourself...

Hard to tell from pic but looks like flat face to me. Might be a different size than you are used to. The link msb posted shows the various sizes. DiscountHydraulichose.com has a similar chart that also covers all types of connections for hydraulics.

That's not a weld - it's a Decorative Edge Bead! I'm with others - No sign of any heat in the shaft. Something ain't right. Unless the place it was welded on is now hidden inside the yellow part so we can't see it??

Yes, normally used with a skidding winch, but you can get creative with them. The long "stick" on the end allows you to thread it under the log easily and then you hook the chain back through the slide hook and the tail hangs out with some chain and the stick that you can either hook onto a...

Was just going to suggest a logging choker chain. 2manyrocks beat me to it. As long as you can find a way to attach it to your 3pt with a hook or something on the quick hitch, that should do it.

Well I too am righteously curious...please enlighten us!

Wow. So close to death like 10 times there...but he made it!

A lot depends on how big your tractor is (weight), how big the log/tree is, and your terrain. Not enough info to say much of anything intelligent, yet.

Knew someone who loaded up the bike on their roof rack in the garage because it was raining and they didn't want to get soaked. Ayup, same thing in reverse. No pics as this was well before cell phone cameras were everywhere and I wasn't there. But they were dumb enough to tell everyone about it...

Look up "Frost-protected shallow footings or foundations". While you are not building from a footing on up, the principles of insulation required and how/where will be the type of thing you need to do. It is going to require digging out around the outside perimeter, all around. UMN Duluth...

Yep. Was going to post the same thing from my L5240 manual. Back when I stored the tractor offsite in a friend's barn, I would use the hook over the winter as I wouldn't use the tractor in the winter on the property. Haven't done that since then even though now it sits more in the summer as it...

Looks like a graphic design like the one on the side. Maybe on that perforated film they use on windows?

You need is not heavy or frequent so in your case the rear blade would be the economical solution. I use mine a lot and it becomes a problem once the mounds start to build up on the sides of the drive, but I doubt you will have that issue. When that happens, snow tends to fall back in and it...

I can't tell a lot from those photos as I don't know that model at all, but in general when I have dealt with tie rod ends, ball joints, etc I typically use a pickle fork and or an air hammer. I have a Lisle pickle fork kit which allow you to put them on an air hammer or hit with hammer...

Actually it is the bypass valve making the noise, but the question is why it has changed. You might actually have better luck posting in Hydraulics subforum as there are some good experts there. Could be bad/stuck bypass??? Dunno

Yes they are good for small areas, which it sounds like you have. Very messy as noted. Also the substrate is going to need to be dry before application to ensure it sticks. If you are getting condensation, you will need to dry it out somehow. Temperature is also important as too cool won't sure...

Although it sounds like you are replacing, as noted all you need is a press. Now you may not have one but some local mechanic sure will. Bring in new bearings and the pump and have him press off the old and press on the new ones. Find a good local guy and he may do it for 10 bucks or something...

Well that had to wake you up, right quick! yikes! :oops: 😧

Hopefully the shaft isn't scored too, or you will have a bigger problem.

Keep us posted if you find out more. I have found them useful in the past too.

I thought Oregon was a hoot with the hipsters.

Being intermittent is always fun (NOT!). I might suggest the fuel shut off solenoid as a potential culprit. You may need to wire up something to watch so you can tell if it is shutting off when the problem occurs. Other culprits are the safety switches you note din the seats or pedal.

Your "what?" had issues? Not the Ranger, I suspect...

From what you say - they made the mistake. So make them fix it at their expense. Normal business...

So what other compact/midsize PUs are worth looking at? I hear lots of grumbling about the Tacos being crude and underpowered. Dunno if the Nissan Frontier is worth looking at as I am not sure I trust Nissan enough. Honda Ridgeline has the same Ranger problem - only 4 door 5' bed. Not sure I...

I made a similar mount off the back of my JD X738 out of leftover 304 Stainless. There is a 12V lighter style plug on the back corner of the fender you can just see in the third photo to the right of the taillight. I plug into that for power, and it conveniently has a switch on the dash to turn...

Late to the party but it is good to hear you figured out the immediate problem....BUT...you still have low compression that is going to have to get dealt with at some point, so I would plan to deal with that during the off season. Either re-run the test if you don't think you did it right, or...

It's called honest feedback from experience, but you can call it what you want. Like I said, I would have been right in line recommending IR as a "can't go wrong brand" several years back. Seen too much to keep doing that, unfortunately. I hate to see a good classic American name like that...

Best friend has an IR30(?) 60 gal single stage. From the era when they were OK ~20 yrs old. Pressure switch failed - age, no biggie. Got a replacement from IR which took weeks and went through 4 of them until one actually worked. Getting them on the phone was apparently nearly impossible too...

Correction: MADE. They no longer do and are just trading on their previous good name. Have seen it first hand and heard many confirm it second hand. I hate to see it happen, but it does and did here.

Looks like I am too late but avoid new IR compressors. They used to be very solid, but have gone to crap the past several years. They have cheapened and China-sourced everything with low grade components and people are having tons of problems with them now. A sad statement for a once great...

I was just looking at the 2024 Ranger which is now on the Ford website and they got rid of the extended cab. That stinks. I was really wanting the ext cab to get the longer bed. Not sure I would buy the 4-door, so I may have to shop around for other compact PUs. Looking to downsize from my...

Really? Have you MET our government? :oops:

I have had 2 of them for a few years now as my shop doors are too tall for the regular style coupled with the Hi lift tracks that go up to the ceiling so i don't lose headroom for the tracks. Liftmaster/Chamberlin I think. Seem to work well and yeah this style is common in commercial and...

I dunno where I'd go...Juneau? 😁

Battery old, perhaps? Weak battery can manifest in weird sensor issues...

Depending on what part of Calif you are in, that rain issue may be solved quickly! Looking forward to seeing it. 😁

Yeah there are few Grumpy Gus's here and feel free to ignore the sniping, but the point still remains: reinforcing the upper lip of that bucket is a wise idea and will improve the performance and longevity of the bucket and your boom pole. That is sound advice, and you can take it or not. Up to...

Another vote for RSR's suggestion with the one further suggestion that steel wool may be a better rodent barrier to pack in first, rather than mesh. Might be hard to get any mesh in there effectively.

I like it...but I don't think the dog can read the sign...

That will be a challenge to fix... Curious to see what you do

Well it depends. I have dropped off 10+ gallons there without issue...but one time the manager was there and playing Johnny Law on me and said the corp policy was like 3-4 gal per person per day. Or whatever it was. It was less than I had to get rid of. May vary by state too. Some states may...

And??? Like that's new around here? :ROFLMAO:

Weird. Oil is oil for recycling around here. Just tell them you have used oil and need to dispose of it. No need to say hydraulic or motor oil. It is all compatible and not an issue. My guess is you are running into minimum wage help that doesn't know what they are talking about. I have...

Redneck dumptruck! Back up and slam on the brakes!

LISP=Lots of Irritating Stupid Parentheses Took it in college and learned why I was not cut out for any real programming...

Dust collection on a lathe is quite a challenge. If you make something big enough to catch chips from longer pieces, then the face velocity is so low that only stuff that shoots directly into it will get sucked up. You can try, but your best bet is to sweep up after you are done, and wear a...

This is getting to be an epidemic around here. New member comes in posts something basically useless like this and expects...what exactly? Was this like posting a photo on your Facebook page? Congrats! Your tractor doesn't move! Oh did you want it to move? All we know is your tractor won't...

PB Blaster for stuck things. A variety of spray lubes depending on the application including white lithium and LPS. I use WD40 occasionally but most often as a cleaning solvent for gunk (or carb cleaner or brake cleaner depending). It is supposedly one of the best lube for machining aluminum...

At first I assumed you meant for the hospital but then you talked about your tenants so are you asking about residential stuff or commercial for the hospital? But yeah Sigarms is probably one to chime in best here...

I'm going to vote with Paystar that the PO did something. This should never happen.

Fuses relays and start tracing wires. Shouldn't be too complex as vehicle AC is pretty simple, electrically. I am assuming you have an electrical problem from what you said, but re-reading that is not clear.

Isn't bamboo like cockroaches and can't be killed? Not generally found around here but I have read that... If so, how do you control it now?

And that's why there is more than one option in this world. That works for you, but would not fit in this house style. It turned out perfect - for us and the house.

No, LD1 is correct. Any beam simply supported like this is ALWAYS in tension on the bottom and compression on the top, even just from its own weight. Of course the applied load will be far greater than the weight, but it does not matter if the load is directly in the center as you noted, or...

I don't know this model but could there be a fusible link in one of the wires feeding the starter or charging system? It is a type of fuse but it is spliced into the wire and not in the fuse panel(s) so they can be very invisible if you are unaware. Ohming out the wires from battery to...

My friend and I had our own little routine when we would help each other out and some nearly impossible event would occur like once we hit a tiny phone line with a nail, and would ask each other "What are the ODDS of THAT happening?" The response was always "ONE!" as it always seemed like no...

I don't see it as an either/or question. I have both. They both have advantages. You want to quickly clean off some area? Grab the cordless blower. No filling it with gas, no starting, just pick it up and pull the trigger. Nice. But if I have tough or longer blowing needs (and what guy...

David - if you want to increase your goat herd more quickly, you might consider raising money through one of those crowd funding sites. In this case I would recommend GoatFundMe. Thank you, I'll show myself out 🤪 :ROFLMAO:

See? I told ya I didn't know this well! :ROFLMAO:

Air conditioning is actually pretty complex and a lot of people don't understand how proper AC is supposed to work. They talk about Latent load and Sensible load in AC. I'm not super familiar with it but think of latent as heat and sensible as humidity. If you cool down the latent load too...

Yah you have to mean C not F but even that is a bit cool at 167F=75C

You are all missing the obvious: EL Chupacabra! That was what did it! ;) It sure looks like an impact to me, but what do I know?

Phenomenon. You are welcome. 😁 Yeah english is weird Never seen that kind of knife holster but I like it.

I think they are a crapshoot these days. I got 2 identical units at the same time. One for the basement, one for the shop. The basement one lasted 2 years and died. The shop one about 7 or 8. No rhyme or reason to the difference. I just replaced the shop one last week. Some models do have a...

You don't need anything but your finger to reset the service indicators on BMWs. I do it on ours when I perform service on it. It depends on the model, but basically you put it into service mode by either holding the trip odo reset button down for a very long time or pushing the start button 3...

That has to be both the funniest and most random post on this thread. Thanks! :ROFLMAO:

Notice how with that one simple word you breezed past what is going to be 30 hours of heating, penetrating oil, pullers and beating with big hammers? Nice job! :ROFLMAO: You may want to take apart the gear box and see what you can in there. It may help you access the problem parts or at least...

Plenty of good answers on the first question, but nothing on the second. My excavator and plumber told me not to drive anything over the drain field heavier than a riding mower. We also have a mound system with tons of sand heaped up, so that may play into it, but it is one data point for you...

That is the one downside to ABS. You will stop a lot faster in those situations on ice or in snow/gravel if you can lock up the wheels, but the ABS prevents it. Drives me nutz at icy intersections in the winter where you can end up sliding right through at low speed while you can feel the ABS...

Ultra, you just need to finally pack up and get out of Cali. Someplace more sane would be good for the soul. I can't believe you said banks were only taking in-person visitors by appointment until very recently. That stopped 2 years ago here, and this place is not super conservative, by any...

Inspector probably doesn't care about flammability since it is not a residential building. Mine didn't care about much anything on the shop. But in the house I had spray foam exposed in the unfinished utility room and that caused trouble. We ended up settling on a special coating that the foams...

Bingo. Works great. GRS notes that LEDs can trigger the autodark lens, which is possible, so stick with good old analog halogens instead.

It isn't known as a great exterior wood. No real rot resistance. Price has gone up lately but used to be dirt cheap for a hardwood. I love using it for drawers. It dovetails nicely and is very sturdy and smooth and the white color (with some light tans) makes a nice drawer case. It may be...

Single component and 2-component urethane foams are different chemistries (related but different). The foam isn't "pre expanded" in the can, it just needs exposure to air (and mainly moisture in the air, IIRC) to foam and cure. That van looks like the kind of thing that is a small enough area...

I guess my point on the foam kits was not fully explained: you aren't going to be able to control it well enough to get any kind of a thin layer over all that area. And with individual cans? no way (IMO). The foam kits at least have more of a spray nozzle that spreads it out whereas the cans...

Helped a friend with one of the "froth packs" several years back (no idea which brand). They worked well, but really only cover a small area. He had a small area due to an addition he was doing where spray foam was the best way for one particular problem area but calling in a firm to do it...

I did end up buying a Peugot grinder with the adjustable grind. This one has a small glass jar to hold the pepper and you can get more jars to swap out different peppers, if that is your thing. One is fine for me. Wow, is that a nice piece of machinery! Very hefty and smooth action. Excellent...

I wasted very little when using mine. I would remove the dip tube from the paint, wipe it down, and put it in a pail of water and start pumping it back into the paint bucket. When the first bit of water comes through or it thins visibly, stop, and redirect into a waste bucket to keep cleaning...

Yeah mine has both the yellow button and the pull up on the PTO switch methods available. I guess one of the benefits you get when you pay for the freakin expensive top of the line models... My lawn is so difficult that I needed 4wd, otherwise I would have gone cheaper... But the point remains...

Well, if they rounded it over, I know a thread on TBN that could help them out.... 😁

Different JD model for me (X738) but I'm guessing the procedure is the same. I popped out the reverse lock-out button from the dash and then wired a jumper to it between the 2 posts of the switch. This is easy to reverse if you need to (just remove the jumper) which can be an issue if you...

Actually this is a known failure point on the Grand L, both the 30 and 40 series. And it may recur in a few years. So far mine has held (knock on wood). The crappy part is you have to split the tractor to get to the one cheapo seal to replace it. Why Kubota let it go all those years without a...

With both of those joints I find I need to hold the arc on the bottom plate much more and wash up to the T or the lap piece. The bottom piece tends to soak up more heat as it is in the middle of the coupon whereas the other piece is just hitting an edge. That is why you look a bit cold on the...

All depends on the submarine... ;)

DUCK! 😁

https://www.ggmfg.com/products/ If they don't have it nobody does. Surplus Center sells some of their stuff, but not everything by a long shot... You may need to search the web or call them if you can't find it on Surplus Center as G&G doesn't sell retail.

Might be a touch cold, but hard to tell from that photo. The HAZ is quite often your best indicator of how well it went. That nice blued line on the vertical leg shows that you started off a bit cold (perhaps did not wait long enough to build the puddle), then ran pretty consistent until you...

Since I don't think Eddie has any inspections where he is, the quick answer is you can do whatever you want... DaBear will be able to help you better with the load calcs if you want to follow code to the letter. I did a few 240V circuit runs with multiple outlets on them down the sides of my...

Well, not to split hairs, but you didn't actually ask a question, so what are you looking for help with? Others have given some general advice on which type of building and such. If you are looking for stick frame, around here Menards has a service that will design the building for you and...

Another plug for these guys. Plus they have an excellent guide to every type of hydraulic fitting out there at this link: https://www.discounthydraulichose.com/mm5/thread_guide.pdf That will help you figure out what you have very easily.

While you might be able to find a drop-in, you may also find that you are better off modifying slightly for the different power source. Where I like to begin on projects like this is to find a similar model and see what they use. Once you have an idea of what size/rpm/torque is used by others...

Where's ya sense of adventure?!?!?! LOL 😛 :LOL:

I do all the tricks and still can never get my grapple connected easily. I modified a clamp to be like the one shown before I had heard that such a thing existed (missed THAT market opportunity!) and I have to use the clamp to apply pressure and still do a couple more rounds of jiggling the...

He is a great resource. If only he could find some decent help so he could get more product out the door!

I had read that the codes folks have recently reduced the limits on framing lumber for joists spans as lumber these days does not have the same quality as when the tables were previously populated, so that is something to think about. And it further raises the question of quality. What exactly...

We were buried in snow this winter - something like 3rd highest total for the season in history. But since it melted, very little rain. Feast or famine here too...

Those durn Roadrunners!!!

El Chupacabra!!!!! RUN!!! ;)

Depends - Will we have to stop and do a Regen every 50 hrs? You know - to clear the TBNDPF (Tractor By Net Direct Post Filter) ;)

I have to say this has been truly entertaining and astounding to read. Hop on his tractor and tell him to Hold My Beer! and go have some fun with it! Can't hurt it any more...

Ford Truck Enthusiasts is also my go-to for any Ford trucks or SUVs.

Oh you can still get custom cutters made if you really want to. Expensive, naturally. I doubt this situation is significant enough to warrant it. Based on a couple postings, there are bits that should come down to "close enough" for this. It isn't a matching restoration at Buckingham Palace...

Thanks for all the suggestions! (y)

Eagle America or MLCS (same outfit as I think one bought the other) has a huge selection of quality router and shaper bits. If you can't find it there, it probably doesn't exist. Other than what previous posters have said I don't have an answer for what the shape is called, but it could also...

:LOL:

I recall seeing a thread on here a couple years back about pepper grinders with some good recommendations. Either I am losing my mind and it was not on TBN or the search function is useless. I can't find anything at all. Anybody have better luck searching? Or just any recommendations for...

I believe you are generally right on this point (other than the occasional True Jerk (tm) ) that it is just drivers adjusting to the road conditions. 2 lanes now makes people feel fine going faster, so they do so without giving it much thought (subconsciously). That is one reason why I love my...

Why is this thread a sticky?

You sure you don't live in the upper Midwest? That is characteristic of drivers in this region. And letting someone merge is apparently an insult to your ancestors.

My experience with online auction s is that they are great for sellers and not so great for buyers. It is super easy to bid on something from your couch, but showing up on the day of an auction requires commitment. I would say the opposite of RustyA's input, but we all have our own...

Gravity holds EVREYTHING in place when you think about it... But yeah this looks like trouble waiting to happen...

Debris in the fuel tank is a possibility. Warm temps perhaps loosen things up enough that it gets free and sucked into the inlet where it chokes fuel. Then it shuts off, fuel draw stops and floaters move back out of the inlet for a while until flow starts again. Wash rinse repeat. Or could be...

That's odd. When I first looked it up it said about $41 and $8-9 for shipping. Your image shows $7+11. I just rechecked the link and it says $7+11 for me, too. Not sure what is going on there... Still a bit pricey on the shipping charges for a packet of seasoning but that is a bit less crazy...

I have lifted 2000 lb pallets of mortar with my L5240. It was pushing it for sure. I did as little movement as possible, very slow and very low. Not something I would make a habit of, but it sure helped me out there. 1500 should be doable, but make sure you have proper rear counterweight and...

Like $50 for a 3 oz pack, with shipping? Ummm, no way man. That's nutz! We've been rolling our own since we couldn't find anything else close and that has been working out quite good. Took a couple tries to get it where we want it, but it came together.

Could perhaps look for bulk gasket material that is either the same or similar. i would not be surprised to find they used something off the shelf as it makes an engineer's life easier. Mcmaster is always a good place to start https://www.mcmaster.com/products/push-on-seals/

There was a time their lumber was poor. Around the time Home Depot entered the market in this area (upper midwest), Menards seemed to take a deep look at their operation and made major investments and improvements in both their stores and their merchandise. I used plenty of lumber from Menards...

Similar here (free). It is mostly so they have your contact info. Then the day of a burn you call the Sherriff dispatch and let them know you are burning and your cell phone. If someone reports it, they may call you and you better answer or they can send the fire trucks. If they do that...

26 tomorrow, Bo and you are on a roll!!! ;)

You can get a good VFD for a hundred bucks or so, but it does require some programming of sorts. Automation Direct is a good resource and has excellent customer support for dumb newbie questions like I had. Or go to your local Fleet Farm and get a single phase motor of similar hp and the same...

You said Ag tires.... You sure you want to mow a lawn on a big heavy tractor with Ag tires? That seems like it will make a hash of your lawn...

I have the same issue as the OP on my 5240 with R4's. Easy to go into 4wd, but often requires some twiddling to get it back out of 4wd. Like I back up slightly, turn the wheel one way and the other, etc. I have no plans to swap tires...but this is good to know...

Sounds like you can make them an offer and see what they say. Probably NO, based on what you said. If so, then you need to go somewhere else or perhaps a different brand.

Lots of things could be suggested but as one poster already said, make those door 9 or 10' tall, or you will probably regret it. Mine are 10x10. And FYI 10' wide is actually tight for my F250 with the mirrors not folded in. I went 13' tall to allow a lift and room for lights on the ceiling...

Congrats! Take a breath or two then get back to it! ;)

Yeah that has scam written all over it....

TIG for sure. 16ga is going to be a challenge fer sure. I would recommend a foot pedal for better control and easier starts, especially given the thin gage. - If the unit can use one. Learn on something thicker - 1/8" is not bad. Tubing - especially small dia - is a whole 'nuther world too as...

The tractor end is almost certainly the 1-3/8" 6-tooth spline but no idea on the other end. Easiest way is to either take photos and measurements or bring it with you when you go to the store.

I had to laugh watching the bucket back feed and fill and overflow. At least it wasn't too much that got out! Git R dun!

I have a small hand pump I used to fill mine on the 400 hr fluid change. It took a while as it does not pull much per stroke like you found, but the time actually goes pretty fast and I didn't have to balance those heavy 2.5gal containers over a funnel in the air... Glad you got 'er dun

Well I dunno....Can we argue about EV's here too? 😛

Grand L 40's have a dipstick in the rear Diff housing. If you have a simple hand pump, stick a tube down in there and pump some out to avoid the nightmare mess of pulling one of the drain plugs just to take out a couple quarts. If you don't perhaps a trip to an auto parts or farm/equipment...

There ya go! (y)

You try Northern or Surplus Center? Those would be where I would start...

At the finish line! Great to hear, David! I had a few similar items on my final that were pretty minor so he just let me do them on my own and didn't want to come back to verify. Most of them were legit and none of them really mattered in the end. Wrapped them up and was done!

Yeah that pretty much describes my first 3-4 yrs of the build from breaking ground in July 2013. I was easily putting in 30-40 hrs a week on the build in addition to my full time job, plus using all my vacation (5 wks a year) at the time. Now I'm lucky to get 15 a week in, but the finish work...

I hear that! I'm finally within a couple weeks of completing window trim now. Then still have baseboards to wrap up, and I am dragging at this point. Finishing up making and installing doors took a long time and really took it out of me, and that finally wrapped up last Aug. July will be 10...

Saw this in your video: That clamp is not correct for the cord and will probably eventually cut through and short it out. Yeah it will take years, most likely, but I've seen it. The good news is you only need to swap it out for a different type of fitting...

Yep - most likely poorly made mount on the forks - out of spec or near the edge. Adding a shim is probably the easiest way as Peter showed. I had to do that on my grapple, but had another issue at the top that was allowing it to pop off too easily under certain loading conditions due to the way...

I figure I might as well show my cart. The cart came with the welder at auction (the XMT304) but I added the drawers and cable holders and redid the tank rack to hold three 120cf tanks. Making the drawers was a challenge and I am rather shocked they came out pretty good. Before photos: And...

Most common wire/cable is rated to 600V typically, so it really doesn't matter what it was originally intended for if you are going to put the appropriately sized new ends on the cord. Of course these should be sized to match the current capacity of the wire, too, but there are some exceptions...

Well the big difference is a lot of small engines can run relatively unattended when in use and you have no other indication that the oil has gotten low, so I see how those make sense. Every car has a driver in the seat and dashboard lights that will at least say low oil pressure when the oil...

And I didn't even mention the one time where she was pushing repeatedly on the pedal and basically nothing was coming out after I put on a new rear caliper on my F250. Well it's a long way back so maybe that is it, I told myself. Until after a few minutes of this and it totally not making...

Yeah every 2 years is pretty obsessive and I typically do it when I do brakes or something like that. I get my wife to be the "Pressure Bleeder" by having her push the pedal and release as I open and close the bleed screw on each caliper, starting from the longest (RR, then LR) to shortest (RF...

Yeah you hear about it once in a while where the trailer manufacturer is gaming the stats a bit by taking out the tongue weight to "add back" some capacity to allow the axles the meet their rating. Technically the tongue weight is carried by the truck, not the trailer axles. Seems like a bad...

That is completely ridiculous! How can these places stay in business when they are busting up 3 out of 4 deliveries? They have to eat those costs. I understand that mistakes will happen from time to time, but delivery people with even a bit of experience should have learned enough to prevent...

Oh David - I forgot to mention this. Your appliance store called me by mistake yesterday and said the range was not going to be delivered today because the truck was engulfed by a plague of locusts on the way out of town and then the driver started speaking in tongues and Beelzebub emerged from...

Probably more material/weight the way you are proposing it. Does that matter? Probably not but up to you and your needs/budget. And since you dug up my 11+ Y.O. thread... I never did do it and eventually sold the trailer when I stopped needing to haul my tractor and other large stuff after my...

Have you looked for a metric equivalent? Sometime not finding the hardware in inches means it is metric...
