I'm impressed with the squareness of the result. I wonder if that quality remains consistent down the entire length. I'm sure working on a quality surface with good sawpigs makes for a better job. I would think that jig is a bit flimsy for holding square. That where the sharp chain comes...

Bells are getting quite spendy these days, and getting them up and mounted can be a big amount of work! ;-)

Yesterday, I cut down another 100 foot tall hemlock. Well, it taped at 97 feet, but the top 20 feet broke up in impact so, call it 100" ;-) 18-20" abh. Too much for the 18" saw blade to do in one bite at the butt (24"). But it fell "Right on the pin!" (Patting my own back! I haven't...

Just until the leaves wilt and fall is sufficient. Gallons of water can be pulled out by doing this!

Consider also, with a light weight pole, attaching a weight to the bottom end can reduce the lifting height requirement to only a few feet. Tractor weights, sand bags, rocks, or even a wire rope attached to the pointing pad.

curious, there were seen today a pair of "different" fungi popping up in the garden beds. A shiny black pointy cap, with a perforated stem. Morel like. The stem, not the cap! I can not find any direct image comparisons via internet search returns. I'm not even going to touch them! I...

I always brought them home..... then enjoyed in safe surroundings. Altered mental Status is not a good thing "out there".

You will need to remove the failed bearing in order to replace it. Do that NOW, and capture the bearing dimensions. Mosey on down to your FLAPS, NAPA is best, and order out a new bearing.

I get a lot of utility from High Lift blades into a bagging lawn mower. 2 acres is a lot of material to dump if the grass is up.

On consideration, Leakage in a motor, from it's energized windings into the motor frame can come from where? Induction? Failed insulation? Can you change the VFD carrier frequency to see if that leakage number comes down?

I am running no fewer than 5 VFDs in my shop to power lathes, mills, grinders, and press drills. I have NEVER even considered checking for leakage. And I keep them powered 24/7 365 to keep the caps up to snuff. Think of the $$$ I've wasted!

The phone app Gaia is quite accurate from my uses. It depends on How many position sources it receives.

Is the fuel tank full?

Every room in my house but one, has a window. And I have a walk out basement. Living without sun light is living less.

Too bad it's so costly to ship anything even that heavy. Crating and boxing etc. It's just not worth it. But on a lark, I would challenge myself to get that engine running again. But NO! What am I thinking? I've got stuff enough to do! I had to replace the fuel lines on the weed...

Wait until you are having a dry spell. Watch how the grass grows green at the leak. ;-)/

Regardless of the wheel spacing, the tractor "tilt" is exactly the same on any given slope. Your "pucker factor" remains the same. There is NO part of YOU that can "sense" the center of gravity/ roll center of your tractor. I wish you well with your feelings. Be careful!

One very important aspect is ventilation! IIRC a "comfortable minimum air turnover" is several complete exchanges PER HOUR. Typical houses BREATHE, and if they don't (super insulated, and underground etc) the air and spaces are just not comfortable. We sweat a lot! Cooking, plants, pets...

To poorly paraphrase a former US president. What is "it"?

The wife and I are just about done with "sauce" on pizza. White is right for us. That helps keep the toppings from sliding off with the first cheesy bite ;-) Also, we started rolling out the dough with a sheet of baking parchment underneath. It makes transfers onto the hot stone a breeze...

We had spaggetti with red sauce along with salad and garlic bread for supper tonight. With less than ten minutes to go on the boiling noodles, I grabbed a couple of the Wine Caps, sliced and threw them into the hot oiled wok. Cooked JUST RIGHT . Very tasty on the pasta with sauce , grated...

It's getting harder at my age.....;-)

It's the "all over" that is the danger! NB I have "tried" some other "edible" wild mushrooms. Most of them taste a lot like DIRT. As mentioned in the OP. Why bother?

Though I plan to have my body cremated, I have directed my epitaph to read.. "Died suddenly, nothing serious!"

no

Ahh The Wine cap.. or Death cap! Savor the difference! \ ;-) Is it the english language which determines the action?

yep! Thanks! I use the rubber bungees, but have not strapped the seat...yet! ;-)

As My wife said just tonight, "these are not wild mushrooms, they came from our gardens"! ;-) And as I responded.... "The coward dies a thousand deaths The brave do die but once!" Trust, but verify! Ahgh! help, gasp....... I.. Can't..... brea.... every.. thing... is ...going..dark//...

Gosh, You kicked me into reason. What was I THINKING? NOT!!! 14 .7 is the PRESSURE in pounds exerted by the air column above us (at sea level. The resulting Column of LIFT available from that pressure is closer to 34 FEET! My bad! Sorry for the confusion. Even at idle, an IC engine...

Call it a "pony Story" a bit off topic , but.... We have been living at this place for over 35 years now, gardening all the while, adding all the time. The Troy Built Pony our only mechanized "garden" tool except for the ripper I built to pull behind the Bolens for breaking into new gound...

The earth, with all it's trenches deep and mountain ranges high, is a more perfect sphere than any man made object! And let me tell you CSRIO in Australia put a lot of effort into doing better.

My neighbor had bats in the attic (;-) He put a muffin fan up in the roosting area. They went away. Guess they didn't like the "white noise"/ I have bats a both ends of the gable on our house, and a couple of spots out in the shop. The ones in the gable ends have taken up there as I built...

We have had quite a spell of rain, and what do you suppose, but mushrooms have sprung up in the wood chip mulch that is placed as walkways between the garden beds. Looked 'em up, and all indications were that the type is "Wine Cap" with the name due to the red wine colored "caps" when they...

Too bad you are in "fly over country", we could tag team this sucker and have it purring in a couple of beers (ahh,... err Hours ;_)

You are going to miss that reverser!.... Well, not you, but it will be missed. I use it every time I till.

Around here, ticks will kill a moose. I've seen pics of moose stripped of all hair and replaced by leg to leg wood ticks. Not a pretty image.

Just to be science-terriffic-er, Atmospheric pressure will lift water EXACTLY 14.7 FEET (STP conditions) Gasoline being lighter than water, can be pushed even higher. Added science, 14.7 feet of water is equal in weight to 760 mm of Hg. But that is all useless information for these...

That is what the diaphragm you replaced is meant to do! The carb sucks from that little chamber, The diaphragm pump pulls from the main tank and keeps that small chamber filled. You have eliminated a lot of potential problems. Next is to get that fuel up into the carb on it's own! You can do...

I have to ask, how does an engine that starts and runs on "direct injection" of gasoline have a valve problem? I find it VERY difficult to blame the valve lash for an engine that starts. If it ran for long enough time to heat the valves, lengthening the stems, that would be different.

GAACK! I just pulled a small tick out of my belly button. I wondered why it itched so! Next time, I'm getting an outy, not an inny! ;-)

No head and no flywheel, no wonder it won't run! ;-) When confronted with symptoms like you have, I put some gasoline in a squirt bottle , expose the carb air inlet, and see if I can get it to run and stay running "on the drip". That separates the "Is it fuel, or is it ignition" question...

I just clicked the link They are ON SALE! Save $200 ;-)

You carry cards that I only get out when I need them. I guess I'm old, and tired of the displaced hip. Was there such a thing as sciatica before the advent of hip pockets?

My own bill fold is getting threadbare. All the men's stores in town have closed up. I'm not buying one on-line if I haven't held it and seen what it is. I'm carrying fewer cards than ever. Why carry the medical /prescription card all the time? Two charge cards are more than enough. I must...

A Good going over with a VOM measuring voltage drops and/or resistance Would be a great start.

To the thread title: You can't! We are a creative and resourceful bunch! We will find a way! ;-)

Well! I dug the Troy Built Pony tiller out of the back corner of the tiny garden shed. Took all of four minutes to move the lawn mower, the wheel barrow, a couple of pots and a few half empty bags of potting soil. Dragging the machine out the door was a bit more work. The machine hasn't been...

You can't really do much to supplement the corner where the vertical meets the horizontal members without giving up cargo capacity. But I will contend that that will be the failure point if the pin locations are reinforced.

It's an all too familiar experience. Crap goes sideways, there are useful, though aggressive response options. But the mind says "STOP!, Grab the brakes! Make things STOP"! That is why ABS is a thing on cars. We can't help ourselves. Heal well!

I have found this thread most interesting, but I would like to stress one point about infernal corn bustion engines. NO FUEL BURNS UNTIL IT IS FULLY VAPORIZED! Droplet, sprays, emulsions ...be damned Until the molecule of hydrocarbon comes in contact with the correct number oxygen molecules...

It's the little things! And I thank you for the inspiration! Tomorrow, I'm going to dig that tiller out of the garden shed and make sure it runs this year! I might even dump out the gas that has been in the tank for two years now (e10, OH THE HORROR). Or I might just till a patch out back...

There are many Universal tractors here in Vermont. They came in under the LONG colors. I've worked on a few over the years.

I can't tell you if they are the same saw or not, but here is another TBN member's comments regarding the 450.

Here is what I built for a Cat 0 DIY for the Bolens tractor. 2 inch receiver hitch. The ripper tooth notches registers on fixing bolts to provide a range of depths. The ripper is easily purchased, solid stock with the chisel tooth.

The left rear on the Hurlimann was way low this spring. When I put the air chuck on the valve with the stem positioned at the top, chloride came out. I knew where the leak was (at the stem) and filled the tire until it "looked right. Close enough, and no air gauges got messed up.

I'm a snob, but feel the XP series saws are worth the extra money... ;-)

My bet is that the "bending" was due to a heavy load along with going over bumps at a good speed. I have that carry all, and would not expect any sort of failure with a 1/2 ton load. Now get things bouncing, and metal tears up all to rapidly.

I bet it needs a good carb cleaning with attention to all the gaskets and fitting, jets. tubes, airways and passages. I've had the carb off twice over the years. First time because I jumped the tiller off a 4 foot retaining wall. That was fun! The tiller landed on the fuel tank side and...

Did you use what was affectionately known as "slosh"? There is two part stuff available now that works, but the kits are costly. Two part epoxy or even polyurethane works.

I just checked the serial number on my B7200. Looks like a 1984 build date... (according to Tractor Data)

Without a lift gate on the delivery truck, or if you are using a pickup or flatbed of your own. A pair of 2X12 x 12 or 14 feet long can serve as ramps to inch the tiller to the ground. Same as if it were a motorcycle, only there are no wheels on a tiller. Just remember, Never lift more than...

If this were a sufficient statement, the two engine types would be "dual-fuel" compatible. But they are not, so there is that. Perhaps a better phrased QUESTION would be. What are the important differences in the combustion fuel delivery systems between Diesel cycle and Otto cycle engines...

That would be one of the blade drive belts. I had checked Jacks offerings , but did not see the wheel drive items. Thanks though.

They are starting to "bug" me here in S. Vt. as well. Interesting that we can say the same from here to where you are. I itch from the sites where the ticks have been plucked off, my wife has a coupe of "bore holes" in her leg. My mind imagines them crawling on me almost all the time. I...

Every year the center crown grows a better crop of green on our drive. Winter snow removal can be brutal and make much of the greening go into reset. I am patient, yet eager for the center crown to define the rutted two lane approach to our home.

Fishing can be a hazard to your health! There is something in the water! ;-)

I could mention a raft of rotary valve two strokes. Bridgestone used rotary valves. The Kawasaki Big Horn 350 was notable. Can-Am as well. Heck Yamaha had a square four GP bike with rotary induction. Myself, I used to race a Kawi 238 Green Streak in short track , A real winner! I must...

Rebuilding takes a press to move the shaft through the bearing inners. I have three spindles off a "well rotted" kubota mower that was included with my B7200. (deck is long gone, and I can't imagine a way to insure these would work for you, I'll never need them. I just cant stand to throw...

Modern two strokes , and four cycle as well, are all about HARMONICS. That is how today's engines can achieve over unity volumetric filling. I can not think of a single instance of a "modern" sleeve valve engine. A once in a lifetime era I suppose. Gone the way of the dinosaurs. eta Does...

You are good to go. The pros will complain that they take too long to drive. ;-)

Well, I'll be d4mmit and go to he!!" This thread got me motivated to put a little TLC into the old Giant-Vac. Since it was slipping drive belts I started looking for replacements. It seems that the Dayco 41-0209 belts that are on it are a bit obscure, or at least out of stock. These are...

Anyone with a friend at the bank can buy a new one, It takes a certain level of cray-zy to keep the old ones going. ;-)

I've been meaning to get the Gold Valves for the VFR since I bought the thing in '99. ;-)

Chainsaw engines are more correctly termed "Piston Port", spark ignition. I have yet to see the added complexity of a rotary valve inlet two cycle for chain saws., (Yamaha 80s and 125s motorbikes from the 60's). Also reed valve induction used to be quite popular

True about those tractors being in a different class. The Fordson is 73 this year.

Sleeve valve engines have no cam shafts.

Thanks for the reference. They sure don't make finding anything easy. Put in a part number, came back with four pages of possibles to weed through. Jeesh! I'll keep trying. ;-)

I got this Giant-Vac 54 inch walk behind mower to keep up the sports field at the elementary school when my kids were there and playing one kind of "ball" or another. Volunteerism was still a thing then. Well, the kids are grown and gone for some time now, but I still have the mower and use...

I have set grade pegs on the few pads I have worked. Usually about 6-8 foot grid. They limit the movement of the tractor, but seem to allow "cut and fill" operations to get along more quickly.

I've tried rubbing down ivy exposed skin with the juice of Jewel weed. A wild plant that usually grows close by the p i. There is lots of it around my place. Some sort of natural-pathic remedy. It has worked, or perhaps I didn't really get into the pi. Hard to tell. When living in Calif...

There are a LOT of parts in an early magneto, and a lot of parts in any carburetor. They may be small and relatively simple parts, but they add up. Now most of us can service both carbs and mags, but don't let us get anywhere near an injector pump assembly! ;-) I wonder how they did it...

Everyone's auto-immune system reacts differently to the poison plants. I got into some about five days ago, I must have rubbed my neck to get the black flies off. It's the two wood tick bites that keep me from a good night's sleep. My wife was up at 3:00 last night removing a tick from her...

The rhubarb grew quite well when I lived in Bethlehem. About 3 houses north of the library. So it's not the cold winters ;-)

We had a persimmon tree when we lived in Goleta Calif. I had never known persimmons, but had heard of the word parsimonious. I looked up "persimmon" in the dictionary. There I read, "A tree, who's fruit can be eaten ONLY when completely ripe". So true! But are they ever good when they are...

For the kids, a dipping cup of granulated sugar goes over well. I recall using the sugar in "Pixi Stix" to blunt the edge of a rhubarb sword.

Agree! Strawberries should be served separately. Mixed fruit pies are always less than whole fruit. Not that rhubarb could be called a fruit ;-)

I have a B2750 blower. Looking at the parts list for the B2782b I see many similarities. But I do not see a "shear plate" only shear bolts. The auger bolts are easy to get to. The impeller shear bolt......not so much. I have an access hole drilled in the impeller housing to better see the...

It appears they are offered in many capacities. 3500kg, that quite a lift .

Perhaps a better way to phrase the warning is that these cube style relays do come in various current carrying ratings. Choose the rating that is correct for your application for best results. I've got a box of them out in the shop....;-)

The rubarb is coming in very well this year. We don't grow a lot, just a row of about a dozen good hills. I love sauce, and like to have it as a cold beverage on a hot day. Rubarb sauce with cottage cheese is a favorite also. My wife makes the best crisp as well. Desert with ice cream. It's...

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!

Just a bench mark, I was using the 22" cut walk behind the other day to clean up the small areas and pathways. KER-Chunk! The blade hit an 18 inch long bit or steel wire a bit under 1/8 inch diameter. Maybe a pail handle. So when done mowing, I pulled the blade to have a look. No damage...

is the tip speed on mower blades really 150 mph? (napkin math)

Who is bouncing?

High lift blades pull significant amounts of small stone and abrasive debris up into the blades. I've noticed the need to sharpen more frequently myself. But the cut quality is worth it to me.

On review, I had gained useful inspiration from your post prior to my own efforts to do the same. Thank you! I'm terrible with pictures while I'm working.

Great pics, but without the hydro-top link in place, I can only guess. My guess is "Hoses fittings and couplers". Might want to look into the positioning of those lower remotes, or put a bit of an extension on that top link cylinder . Two things trying to occupy the same space at the same...

OK! OK! I take back my mention of loathing black flies. My wife just pulled the SECOND embedded wood tick off me today. (I couldn't reach back there ;-) The first was a "regular sized" dog tick. This second one was no bigger than a fleck pf pepper. Itches like crazy, and I dosed it up with...

Could it be an issue with the o-rings? If the flange surfaces are held apart by misplaced o-rings while the component is bolted down, some bad things could happen. Else wise, it's a case of hydraulic pressure exceeding the design strength of that part. Does you control valve for the top link...

Perhaps you did. but Access to the mounting stud and fixing bolts would have required drilling holes in the fender at minimum. Perhaps the kit was configured differently ten years ago. Or might have you installed just a single valve? I'll see if I can dig up your post on the topic...

I have no issues running a front blower narrower than the turf track on the B7200. When the snow is 2 feet deep, and coming over the top of the blower opening, I can't expect to not go fwd and back again to make a wide path. It's really a whole lot less trouble than getting mired in deep snow...

Damn Straight!

The off road "JEEP" folks have quick disconnect anti sway bars. So it is "a thing". ;-)

I find your position flawed, and wish to provide common sense to the thread.

If you add a "sway bar", you will give up a lot of Traction in many situations!

But the math said it wouldn't tip!

Nothing to do but throw a rag in the run away engine inlet, pull the tractor upright again and immediately try to start it. And then post a question on TBN as to why the tractor engine has developed a hard knock after being tipped.

I like the way you chime in for the question posed to others. Good going.... Please show me that sloping hillside without dip or rise, no grassy bunches , no rocks, and certainly no wet spots. And always carrying the bucket at exactly 3.5 inches above the soil surface. right?

You know the comments made were not based upon math. I have done the math, it doesn't provide one bit of reassurance that the tractor will not roll. Oh, And I have spacers on the rear axle of the B2601. And the Hurlimann is a "low" tractor often termed as an orchard tractor, with many wheel...

I only have hilly terrain. the property is a series of stone push up benches and the short flats between. Due to this, I tend to move around on the seat quite a bit to stay centered on the controls. Today while moving soil to fill some low areas, and on several occasions in the recent past...

For all practical purposes, math is useless for any stability or traction comparison. There are WAY TOO MANY VARIABLES! The CG of all the tractors I have, is just about at floor level under the steering column. Depending////////;-)

Same question as post 61. How are you making these evaluations and comparisons. A "world of difference" suggests a very great improvement. Is that quantifiable?

How did you evaluate the pre-spacer instability in order to make the comparison?

Don't get us started on "no- see-ems", ;-)

Most instances of tractors tipping has to do with inertia rather than balance only/ SLOW DOWN! It could save your life! I've been on three wheels to many times, (I have a very hilly piece of earth called home) but at the speeds I prefer, there is still time to put the bucket on the ground!

When you recall the original version. http://old.bitchute.com/video/6g2B7a5WnWaj/ Ignore the social political comments, I thought it was humorous.

Is that one of those "rapid shut down" throttle plates? ;-)

I put 5 18 inch diameter X 16 inch long Maple rounds in the B2601 FEL bucket to carry and lift up to the splitter today. There was some groaning going on with that load. Glad I didn't need to move far. It's all split and going under cover now, I know, I should have snapped some pics...

Wouldn't it be fun to calculate the load on the front wheel bearing rollers at that moment. COMPRESSION! ;-)

Well, on additional consideration, The turkey didn't have much of a day either/

The OP is in Texas. Here, we just use Locust posts... They seem to last...and last... and last.

I needed to renew my driver's license. Photo needed "because I've aged some". Got to have that star in the upper corner! Well, on the drive up to the DMV, at mile 28, a wild turkey fixed it's self on suicide on the grill of my Tacoma. Or should I say In the grill.? It's all plastic damage...

Hmm Without using ai, I typed in "how to adjust the position control ......" And got this return. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/adjust-position-control-on-3ph.61493/ Which Exactly describes my question, without an remedy ;-) My apologies if linking competitive interweb...

Ultimately ai is to Replace humans in their labors. What will we do then? That is point. What should we be doing NOW!

Item #2 is what I'm wondering about

Play with fire, don't cry when burn't

On a morbid aside.. One spring, about six years ago, I pulled out the Pony tiller (bequeathed from my wife's father) The pull starter was noticeably sluggish. As it didn't start right up, I wheeled it to the shop to dress the points. Pulling the recoil cover to expose the flywheel, What...

Troy-Built Pony I have one also. Each spring I need to pull the flywheel and dress the points. Fires first pull after choke. It's not that hard! But I do keep the solid state sensor on hand "just in case".

Why would any rational human want to have a machine advise him on moral issues. Are you completely numb?

That is why you are so gung-ho on the technology. You fail to see the ramifications. "What has a front, Has a back."

Thoughtful deliberation. Communication (Community- Common unity) Thinking Individual expression Quality Sincerity Creativity Spontaneity Love Life.

I have done what you are doing. My quality of life did not change one bit, The company did not become more profitable. My income did not increase beyond normal expectations due to experience. As mentioned, ai is but a distraction. LOOK! squirrel!

many of your productive dollars go, and will continue to go towards social rehabilitation. Pick your battles. Some people measure life in dollars. Some people are "human doings" always being productive. Some people are human beings, knowing that true wealth is realizing when you have enough.

Isn't this a task for ai? ;-) no fun though.....

Yes, and if mobile phones may serve in example, humans have no ability to master over technology. ai becomes only a next step in a progression to know where. (sic) "Saving you ten's of hours of tedium", What is the true value of that? Does it make you a better father or husband? "Gives you...

Check out these suggested torque specs for 7/8" fine thread grade 5 and grade 8, plated and non-plated 350 pound feet and UP! I weigh just shy of 200# and have a three foot cheater bar on a 3/4 drive breaker bar. I do the best I can in the Cat II. ;-)

Thanks for the reply. I guess I didn't do a great job of describing the "fault". First, I am not confused about the drop speed adjuster. There is another double nutted adjustable link that is just accessible from above when the seat is fold up and forward, and visible in the region adjacent to...

I was using the York rake trying to improve the steep uphill drive to my place. it's about 1000 feet, and the winter time and truck traffic (garbage, fuel, delivery etc.) makes for a bumpy ride. This rake is the sulky type, with wheels out behind So I adjust the "penetration" with the...

Help me understand... Is a "food plot" a planting meant to attract deer , in the hopes to harvest said animal for freezer filling? If so, CAN I JUST SEND YOU SOME DEER! We have too many. ;-)

The funny thing is when you present a passport or DL that is expired, they look at you like you are trying to hijack the empire state building....
