Depth of frost line in Collin County is only a few inches so that's not a concern. The single most enemy is fluxiating moisture. Your dirt shrinks when dry (the reason you see large cracks in summer) and expand's when wet. You want ground to gently slope away from slab and not pond less than...

Speaking of getting advice worth what you pay for it. Don't you think it would be wise telling the folks you have the most expansive soil to be found in Texas? It's like daylight and dark pouring concrete where you are located compared to 50 miles East or West,not to mention Iowa,Indiana and...

Clever,might be even handier if bottom of all tubes were even so that tie liengths would be more obovious.

No fault of yours (I have poor vision) I can't put the two diagrams togeather. For now and to get grass mowed,I'd cut blue wire just before it connect's to clutch,insulate blue wire leading back to R&L reverse switches and install a single pole/single throw toggle with aproperate amp fuse...

I've used a rhino tw36 in heavy stuff on a 5620 Deere and really liked it. The Deere is 70 hp engine delivering 60 hp at pto. I belive the tw36 box is rated well above 100 hp so it will easily do anything your 359 throw's at it with room to spare.

The best upland hunting dog I ever owned was Liz,an Irish Setter that was so pretty,she looked grand even when making a mistake. Puppy mills have bred all the hunt out of setters to the extent it's near impossible to find one today. The best farm dog I've had was Jim,a mix of Catahoula and...

If you must ask,you wouldn't understand.

Si tienes que preguntar, no lo entenderás.

Folks at tire repair shops don't think much of any brand sealant.

One time I wanted to paint caulking and read instructions on tubes before choosing one. They might still be putting that on tube instructions.

You might have a secound thorn that only leaks or leaks worse while tire is moving and flexing.

I'm happy to hear you have it fixed. Now I have a question for you. Why did you say "I have power at fuse block, srarter and ignition switch." in your first post? You would not have power any of those places if cable conection was dirty as you just stated above. Pranks like that poison the...

I believe herbicide can help here. Ask the mill owner if he will take any more that die then inject the rest with herbicide to kill them (without telling SWMBO of course). Next year,call the saw mill. Be very vigilent in watching for new sprouts from roots within 40-50 feet of stump and spray...

Great minds Kenny . So is mine,,,,,,and welder I mostly use is a Lincoln Pro-Mig 180,,,,,,,plus a blue can with an eagle on it is usually within easy reach. I grabbed the table thinking it would work until I could do better but I;ve decided I can't do better. I move in and out of building alot...

Dogs are better than every remedy named here combined. Coons,deer,wild hogs,tresspassers,you name it. We have them all in Tx and grow anything we chose without wildlife damage,and dogs took care of a few 2 legged varmits over the years. It doen't need to be any larger than 20 pounds to chase...

While you are kicking ideas around for emergency water for the house,you should make preparations for outdoor water that you can start using right away. That will save electricity, wear on well pump and possibly be better for plants than well water. I'm thinking elavated tanks to catch rain...

Water levels are one of the rare cases where inexpensive equats to quility. I've used one for 40 years and never had it get out of adjustment.

I would appeal to the state for assistance. It sound's like something a road grader/maintianer could easily handle by combining swales into one extending to creek.

From the looks of the starter I'd say it's time to replace it. You should also fix those oil leaks and clean up the wiring harness before they start giving you trouble.

Exellent idea about puting rinse water on clover to see if braodleaf herbs are present.

So what's holding you up,someone coming to sort througho your sceap pile and telling you what to use? ?

N80,What you are not taking into consideration is that toilets are cast in 2 halves then joined before firing in a furnace. The crack is actually a manufacturing flaw running between sections of S trap. Does that help understand how crack can join upper and lower part of S trap?

I don't know if it works or what the outcome would be,none of those who tried it never lived to tell about it. Lets us know the day before you are going to try it out.😜

Like Jeff said "depend's on soil chemistery". I have land less than 25 miles apart that have destintly different clays. One is red and sand favorablly inhance's plant growth by alowing oxygen better penitration. The other is black and sand make's it twice as hard when dry. Red is slick and...

It could be said Texas has tree huggers running the wildlife department. On a televised episode of Lone Star Law a game warden rescued a wild hog that had injured himself in a trap and took him to a place for rehab. Because of that silly Hollywood stunt, I haven't watched another episode since.

Oh no! Not Big Bird! I hope Bluey isn't next on the chopping block. I watch him every morning with my 3 yo Granddaughter.

Now that's some special knowledge to have. Do you know this from having witnessed which stations have water added to their delivers? I aggree about above ground/low volume turn over tanks but people also pick up water from underground tanks. It's those underground tanks that make me ask how...

Ease up on yourself snaphooker,getting frustered and beating up on yourself only makes thing worse. Sound's like you might have recently bought acreage and are trying to "fix" everything you see thats wrong. Let nature have it's way and work with it,that's what farmers have done since time...

People love teasing around with diesel like a cat with a half dead mouse. They absolutly refuse killing it and moving on. Farmers do not plant special soybeans for use in off road diesel. Processing plants don't run special shifts just for off road diesel. There's only one reason off road is...

All I see is soil too wet for proper grading. Is there any reason you can't wait until it'd dry? I also don't see why gravel is needed before adding topsoil. We've all got in too big of hurry and wound up with a mess but letting things dry out will take care of it.

I wouldn't say anything you said sound's crazy but I disagree with some of it. I advise folks do some research before exposing paint equipment to WD-40. WD-40 refuse's to identify the "secret" ingredient but if it isn't silicone,most agree it behave's like silicone and treat it as such...

You could say that but more homeowners paint their stuff than repair elect,plumbing and hvac so that's where advice is most needed. Without question,there's far more to painting than just moping it on but anyone that doesn't take car of their tools aren't interested in making efforts on the...

I have a confession,I know where to buy brushes and which to buy. Lets talk about choosing the right brush for the job and how to use it for each type paint and surface. Save your u-tube links,we've already seen them. I'd like to start with this and ask others to share knowledge aquired from...

Since this tread has come back from the grave and painting is so popular with diyers,I have a few comments. Regardless of type,brand,price,u-tube reviews and anything else related to painting,cleaning equipment is where more people fail than all other factors combined. It take's time and elbow...

Good point ovrszd. One more reason to mock it up with light material and tack in place before doing actual repair.

You should stager the welds but mig is all wrong for what you are doing,especially for your first time using the process. Flipping close to 200 pounds of plate with only those first few stitches will be difficult and dangerous. Since you are experienced on stick why not use stick? That would...

While probing,2 quarter size holes were made in 3" pvc pipe within 20 feet of two large trees. I don't have couplings,glue and means of splitting couplings so I laid 4x6 pieces of plastic over holes and held in place with soil. Will copper sulfate sprinkled in hole around patch presist long...

I have never got this message before on this laptop and don't have it now with my smart phone nor wife's laptop (all running on same wireless). Only on this one laptop,when I try going to "Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forum", I get this message Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server...

Most scams I can see through but I can't figure out why all the "Is it still available" responses to everything posted. Wouldn't be a problem if you didn't have several items posted. They often just say "still got it" or the like. Tell them yes and fewer than 1 out of 20 follow's up and that's...

I need practice welding so I picked up 200 pounds of pipe drops for $6. After running a few beads with various wire and rods I thought I might as well build something while burning filler. AaaaHAaa,storage rack for angle iron, square tube and such. I clamped pieces of 2&3/8ths pipe end to end...

and all files will erase in 10 seconds. Click recover and update my files to prevent loseing your files and programs. That's what the pop-up said when my computer froze and an ear piercing squeal started. Happened last week and again last evening. Fortunately,I have a friend that was able...

Haven't you Piney Woods boys ever heard "necessity is the mother of invention"? No beer,no mow for this ol boy.:drink:

I have never owned nor wrenched on a Yanmar but have done all my NH,MF,IH and Ford maintenance including engine rebuilds. I'm about to make a 2 hour drive to look at buying a YM1700 and have a couple of questions. I would liken my years of experience with the big four then buying a grey market...

Most of us witness flagerant and dangerous violations almost daily. "IF"one has video "AND"is willing to appear at hearing and court,should there be provisions by law inforcement to review complaints and issue a ticket if case is good enough? Should compailant be required to pay a filing fee to...

My question; is there a way to tell for certain wherther problem is with fuel or is it with spark? I have owned propane tractors of all colors for over 50 years and worked on this type ignition even longer. I know my way around a vom so I have never thrown many electrical or ignition parts at...
