You my friend are part of the problem in thinking it should be every man for himself and allowing those we pay to enforce the law set on their butt doing nothing. Law enforcement has become an agency to be weaponized against political foes instead of serving all citizens. Everyone whether old...

There is a limit to size chores that can be explained in 25 words. It would be wise spending a few dollars on a work shop manual. The money saved surfing the net isn't worth the hassle plus you have pictures and can re-read steps as needed.

Things can't be so bad you can't afford a mechanic. I have to hire professionals to do several things for me and I wouldn't dream of cutting my own hair using instructions from people here.

I'll take a different approach and leave it to others to post links. As for advertised horsepower,make sure tests are by same people using same standards. Operator experience plays a huge role in how much work gets done,how much fuel is burnt and most importantly for how many hours per $ spent...

11 "something" volts to coil tells us there is no resistor UNLESS you are keeping it secret that coil has 2 wires connected to incoming side. Charge battery,use a piece of cardboard such as from a cereal box to clean points then see how much spark you have.

There isn't a silver bullet answer covering not start situations. Did you use starting fluid? How many volts coming into coil? Have you checked point gap? Have you cleaned contacts? What is max distance spark will jump? If an engine with less than perfect psi compression sits for years...

Not that particular brand but I've had a couple that were handy for pool deck and patio. Due to limited capacity they are not much help with Fall leaves. I use mower with bagger in open areas and blower-vac-shredder in beds for Fall clean-up. Up to a certain quantity of leaves it's beneficial...

It isn't necessary to have sat on a tractor much less operate one to know there's a fair amount of hogwash and poor advice being passed around here. Espouse less danger operating small tractors on hills compared to larger tractors because there's less distance to fall isn't what I call...

You say you are an old hand then say this and this? Surly you jest by saying you can't follow the red cable from battery to termination point and/or don't know what the part red cable connects to is called. I don't intend to come across hateful but this smells like laser cat toy.

If your reason for having multiple roofers look at is to accumulate free advice how will you know good advice from poor advice? Have the most reputable roofer you can find inspect it and stop asking for bids you have no intention buying and surfing the net.

There are no long lasting treatments available on plywood nor deck wood these days. If you anticipate future needs for treated lumber and are willing to put in some labor I have a suggestion. Watch Craigslist ,FB Marketplace,Nextdoor ect for someone offering a deck free for removal. If the...

The owner may have set it on fire in a fit of anger after learning Kubota no longer offers parts for it.

Unless you have ideas about improving the design it isn't important. What is important is keeping engines in their power band as much as possible. One reason diesel engines have a reputation for longevity is because a high percentage has traditionally been operated by professionals and...

Try it,that's how we found out.

Evidently LittleBittyBigJohn and Wrangler. :giggle:

Take baby steps while learning your tractor rather than pushing the envelope based on what you pick up on the web.

That tractor was submerged in water before or while parked,split it and replace everything.

Right you are. Here and other places people ask what tractor they should buy. My opinion is 4 cylinder 2000 or 4000 Ford for 40 to 60 horse and 4020 Deere for 100 horses. Bought at fair market price according to condition then restaored to like new costs 75% less than new,will last the rest...

Most diesels,including 12 valve 5.9 Cummins are about the same way. I honestly believe Kubota hung all those wires and plugs on tractors to generate income off harnesses. Ever plug and connector is another place for potential voltage drop or total disconnect and there's a bunch. When is the...

This thing is turning out more educational than originally thought. A new chapter in the saga opened yesterday. I ordered a few parts and was informed parts have been declared obsolete. Parts for a 25 year old tractor built from 1988 through 1996 already obsolete? IMO that speaks volumes...

If I needed to rewire any Kubota prior to those with a computer I would not go to expense of buying a harness. Reason being Kubota hung 3x as many wires and connectors on their tractors than it requires to run everything on tractor. Stated differently 75% of wire is decoy and/or redundant that...

If removing starter is that unappealing I'd suggest using HEAVY jumper cables from a fully charged battery to starter lug and chassis ground. Make certain pto,lifts and such are not active and tractor is in neutral plus wheels blocked to avoid being run over. If that causes it to start you'll...

One of the worst cars ever was Chevrolet Vegas sold in the early 70s. Many Vega engines were beyond repair before car was paid off. Bad doesn't commence to describe it's reputation. I took interest in a Vega at an impound auction in mid 80s. I was on pins and needles as I watched to see if...

If there's a local landowener,farmer or retired farmer that will help you choose that's your best resource. Otherwise you sould find a dealer you trust. As you can see in my profile I'm an old iron fan. All my old tractors are in lite use by me and family and seldom need anything other than...

Thanks pms ,I may as well add some 223 xc rods to the assortment from Stoody. I plan experimenting with some for this project and others later on. I guess I'm trying to disprove what I said earlier about diyers only needing a few choices.:)

Yea the ability to buy specialty rods in small quaintly is the reason I acted like a kid at the candy counter. I believe you are correct about moisture in rods. Popular believe is that 7018 is the only (or at least primary) rod requiring oven storage. Not that I'm in a position to demonstrate...

I don't know how the remainder of country handles energy but there's countless rips (retail energy providers) basically brokers in Texas. You are allowed to change rip once per year or pay a fee for breaking contract. Choosing a rip is a minefield. If you use less one month than agreed on...

WHAT! Your dad could be prosecuted for exposing a minor to hazardous materials. Do you remember how to use plasti-guage?

I'm sure you did a fine job of making sure batteries were good by doing that,what were you checking out while moving the 69 Boss 429 to a different parking spot? ;)

Holy crap Runner not many people are old enough to have ever seen a 70 Buick,much less worked on them. :unsure:

If you need something to keep you warm long enough to plow and blow or set out a couple bales and don't care what it looks like I have it. Use 2' x 6' 100% cotton material like denim or other flame resistant cloth for skirts covering engine to rear fenders so engine heat is directed onto...

Thanks gentlemen for the encouragements and suggested procedures. It's too hot for torches and such so I'll be in the land of midnight sun for several days. They didn't have Stoody products locally so I went online. Some pretty interesting products I'd never heard of so I bought some I...

Only the size of one's wallet and shop limit number of tools they could own. Very seldom do batteries pass tests using a multimeter and still fail a load test. Stated another way I often see battery testers recommended to people who don't know how to use a multimeter. I can only recall once...

I must agree Kubota isn't much but I bought this with eyes open. I sold some mickey mouse implements that came with it for almost as much as I paid for the lot and still have tractor,fel and 3 point mower. Quit? Give up? Not unless I can't find a way to fix it for less than $500 and 10 or 12...

Check,charge,clean,tighten,test and jump. Might as well have the battery load tested. 🦜

There's a saying about putting a silver studded parade saddle on a jackass. Are you saying this would be like draping draft horse harness on a Shetland pony ? 🐎

^^Words of wisdom, I recommend you heed them and add years to the usable life of your tractor. I'll make it so you can use common sense and your judgement in making this decision instead of letting strangers make important decisions for you. Beg,borrow,rent or steal a flail mower to mow your...

Hot wings,more accurately hot legs because we buy drumsticks instead of wings. Fried fish isn't as good as pan fried but ease of set up and clean up more than makes up for the difference. We are shopping for a convection oven to allow larger dishes.

Present day consumers wouldn't recognize quality if it jumped up and bit their a$$. Present company is no exception as witnessed by their fondness for Harbor Freight. It's all about price so only a fool would use high quility components to make a kit just to have it sit on shelves collecting...

That's helpful,thanks. I tried wrangling information about metal alloy out of Kubota but their AI wasn't any help and dealer said "a good welder knows how it should be welded". Yea and reputable mfgrs know what alloys are used in their products.

Funny you should ask,we are flying to Vancouver in two weeks for our second trip since 1999. First trip we took a 74 Bronco on the Marine Hi-way and was spending alot getting it off of and back on boats so we wound up storing it and hiring locals for ground transportation as needed most of...

It is cast iron and yes those are a couple short nickel welds so someone tried fixing in the past, ,very wel might have caused additional cracking. Pre and post heat is a last resort due to size of housing and additional disassembly required. Housing is 10 gauge,as a % , how do you think...

I bought a Kubota B series with bad rattle when clutch is used and here's what I found. Propeller shaft worn in slight taper. I haven't removed pressure plate and clutch disk for a better look but I expect piolet bushing is gone and end of crankshaft where bushing was likly worn to match...

Every passing day society becomes more and more like frightened cats up trees with barking lawyers on the ground. If you think it's bad in your neighborhood ,go to NYC to see how bad it will be soon.

Si-fi predicted decades ago that robots will rule the universe. I've til yet been able to talk to anything besides AI at Kubota.

Gawd I hope none of those people I charged for coil cleaning don't see this and get upset because I overlooked to install a fresh capacitor.

Face it,some are natural born mean motor scooters ,some are real go-getters , you are both and the remainder of us are neither. :sleep:

How bout ouch housing clutch $5,300 for a 20 horsepower B series Kubota? I have one in surgery for welding as we speak.

THAT IS THE FUEL PUMP. The secoud line coming from crankcase delivers a pulse each time piston goes up then down. Inside cap w/4 screws is a thin rubbery diaphragm that can stretch or get a pin hole. The diaphragm is fairly generic and interchangeable so you should be able to find one...

That depends on answers to questions asked in posts 2&3 you haven't responded to. I could lose my shade tree mechanic's union card for revealing this dark secret but unlike fortune tellers and Ouija Boards no one is born with ability to see and tell what ails machines without first doing some...

I agree with tomplum,compression is too high. Adjusting valve clearance to spec should get it going again.

I offer prayer for family,friends , responders and the girl's full recovery. I hope mom has good support through this.

I commend you and others that use the search function. I didn't know cramming garbage bags beneath seat is a no no either.

IMO lawyers and judges smell much worse than horse manure. Since you have hired an attorney make him earn his outrageous fee. Ask if you will recover his fee if you prevail in court. I'm surprised that officials showed up and gave opinions in the past. I've talked to lawyers about taking...

Eating crow isn't called for,it's acceptable to ask questions on the web before doing any troubleshooting. It's near requisite to say routine cleaning and maintenance is up to date just to find if anyone sees through the false statements.

You will find folks at a site called "Yesterday's Tractors" are a lot more into old tractors than here at TBN. Supur As are the most sought after.

You ask as if all tranny cases were created equal and having them bust is a common occurrence. Not that uncommon on furring built baby tractors using loaders (I have a broken Kubota myself) but you should be more specific in order to get better answers. I'm in the process of determining...

Thanks for the opinions ,looks to be 100% in agreement so that answered my question. I always suspected I might be a bit snobbish about restored tractors and farm equipment but I never realized how alone I actually am. If anything looks worse to me than painting starter,distributor...

Nice work around and thanks for telling me what those pesky,unavailable pieces are called, I always called them what I thought their names are under my breath. 😒 Been there but since it wasn't my house had to replace faucets to avoid liability.

To be clear people confuse Cub,Cub Low Boy,154,184 along with IH and Farmall and there's some distinctively different tractors in that bunch. IMO Farmall is twice the tractor and worth twice as much as IH. I wouldn't be put off by the smoke. You could be looking at an engine that had...

Sometimes the obvious turns out to be the truth. I can't recall their names :unsure: but I heard a couple old men actually "planted" duck and turkey eggs in their neighbor's nests 😇. After people started questioning the man's creditability, the old farts drove 20 miles to buy fertile Naked...

All it needs is a tune up.

Ok today is two-fer day so here's my first. Do you feel it's worth the added effort to paint nuts,bolts and washers before reassembling the tractor/equipment following repair? Second question is where,what and how do I find paint that mimics gold shade of many new fasteners?

If clutches aren't worn out and are properly adjusted an overrunning clutch isn't needed. That is to say 2000 has dual clutches aka live pto. Since you asked the question it's safe to assume you aren't a gearhead,thereby capiable of assessing condition of drivetrain so here's a poor boy way of...

Since the rod coming into it is for brake I'd say the gizmo is part of the brake.

:unsure: I thought the status of weapons is classified so it's surprising they are being so freely talked about and published for the world to see.

Not at all stupid,slightly stuck piston or two combined with compression and turning mechanicals through clutch would be a heavy load to move by hand. Opening cylinders to relieve compression might be all it takes. I'd certainly use the delay for my advantage by keeping lubrication soaking in...

I'm not sure which bothers me most,your tractor seized,your health problems or that noone will come over to help you. If the engine hasn't freed up I'm with Gator about removing glow plugs or injectors then pouring 6 oz penitrating oil in each if you can afford it,mixture 75% atf + 25% Acatone...

Rather than watching bubbles and trying to eliminate them spend time washing deck or something else productive. It isn't atmospheric air you are seeing, it's liquid turning into gas as result of heat. Same principle as bubbles forming on floor of pan on the stove then ultimately breaking...

You can't beat old technology and low budget. Best way to describe it is the reflectors you see doctors and surgeons wearing in vintage pictures. It's simple,light weight and easy to take into the field. Can be fashioned in many ways using various concave objects with alastic and Velcro from...

Can you live with grass 8"-10" on jumps,6" to 8" on remainder of trail? Can you fabricate and weld?

Smart dad for using herbicide ,smart you for selling the Caldwell. Caldwell built a good mower then dried up leaving no source for parts.

"Old timers" don't use their hand to feel inside tires and greenhorns only do it until they cut their hand on whatever punctured tire then they start using a shop towel.

Some times internet forums can cause more harm than help. Let me tell you how someone told me to give yourself a haircut then use the money saved to hire a mechanic before you wind up plastered to the ground like day old road kill.

Increasing the size of a pin hole to allow inserting a plug is counterintuitive. When it comes to tire repair quick and cheap can spell unnecessarily expensive in the end. Internal patch is a no brainer. A tube is the perfect solution for holes this large in off-road tires. Be sure to...

WHAT!!!!! :D Service after the sale? I thought that was a thing of the past. Kudos Summit (y)

Welcome to TBN,use the search feature to find dozens of reasons why tractors fail to start and how to fix them. A multimeter is your friend.

Brilliant ! I use 4' led tubes. Painting ceilings,rafters and walls white helps regardless of type lighting.

I don't have extensive experience other the two mentioned earlier. Both met my expectations other than FMC parts becoming hard to find. About all I can add that might help you is weigh your sources carefully before hanging you hat and wallet on their reviews and recommendations. For...

I don't know everything there is to know about that tractor but I doubt it's factory equipped to operate multiple implements requiring hydraulics simultaneously. I would expect that 3 point is supposed to be set to max height and left there while operating anything else from hydraulics. To...

i would never guessed it simply based on questions you asked. i was born on a farm almost 80 years ago and been involved since. The ONLY people I know that can say they have rebuilt multiple rotary mowers are mechanics working in shops for corporate operations. Outside of replacing...

IMO you get what you pay for in new mowers so keep that in mind when shopping for used. Used mowers are even more challenging to analyze than used tractors so buying one you know the past history of can really help prevent buying a pig in a poke. Since you are here asking,it's safe to assume...

1,000 tires in 70,000 sq ft? :oops: You ever get tired of tires?

For one plug?🤪

Yupster,a plug inside a tire is to a tube what a rock inside a shoe is to your foot.

And there you have it, latest information on whether tires should be tubed or not. 🚀

Bypass is used to (A) limit applied pressure (B) prevent pump deadheading at more than design pressure (C) prevent hose/line/pipe rupture due to over-pressurizing (D) prevent personal injury from high pressure explosion. (E) recirculate fluids to keep 2 or more solvents mixed and in suspension...

I'd use it. Make that I'd use any I couldn't sell.😋

In the absence of wiring diagram ,if you can't wing your way through wires,I'd suggest replacing shut off with an aftermarket valve and using a toggle switch to control the valve. Cheaper would be a simple manual valve with push-pull cable.

I believe most folks' grammar becomes rough around the edges after encountering a wild driver,I know mine does. Now that I know how much it bothers them I'll double up from here on. 🤬

I picked up my fist hoe over 70 years ago and at one time or other used about every type that can be purchased in N. America. Although a stirrup hoe can slash down a lot of weeds in a short time they aren't any help getting the roots out. While routine weeding beds and garden I'm using a...

You have to buy a good file and sharpen the hoe occasionally. Before pre-emerge when fields were hand weeded,hoes were "sweetened" after every round where rows were long but at least a dozen times per day. Same as sharpening knives, there's an art to keeping hoes sharp. For the benifit of...

Smart man that George. Make's me believe these folks are complaining about one another.😂🤣

You are sure making this hard for us Eddie but maybe everyone gets on the same page soon. The doors might not be homeowner built but there's less than 1 in 1k chance they are from big box. As for them being nothing special,beauty is in the eyes of beholder. In my estimation those doors are...

Hopefully you didn't spend more than $20 on it and can spray pesticides with it in the future. Maybe you should use a different stain or rent an airless for a day to see how you like it before spending a few hundred and risk disappointment. Majority professional fence builders use garden...

I've used 2-4-d but not on stuff already 3 feet tall. I'm sure it will kill some things but then you have a bunch of dead junk shading ground that has to be mowed. Why not mow,see what you have then spray if need be. Like you said,it's expensive,why waste half of it wetting more foliage than...

There is no "one size fits all" way of establishing pasture or hay where desirable grass is already mixed with undesirable plants. If the land has net fence,alowing someone to run goats on it is a good start. Goats eat weeds and brush but very little grass. First question is whether there's...

Chisel plow with enough shanks removed to allow 45 hp to pull it or rent a larger tractor for a day then go back to 45 hp with all shanks.

You've said enough to make it clear you need to just hire or beg someone with experience to set this up for you. Experience having people tell me how to do something based on what a third party said,don't try it. All you need to do is tell your chosen fabricator how you intend using the...

Close off two nozzles (y) got it. That's easy with 12 volt controlled valve(s) available several places for various purposes. If turning the same side off everytime rather than left or right,the valve would mount just passed tee on side you want to control. I would suggest a single pole...

Both times I've ran into that problem the solution was attaching tractor end lower and/or implement end higher.

Pto pump is overkill for your need. Look at Northern Tool's catalog for complete rigs that fit you need perfectly. I'm not sure what you are talking about changing spray pattern but if you don't find what you need in Hypro's catalog,it doesn't exist.

Right you both are. I still have one of those Craftsman molding heads and at one had an old key duplicator that I used to cut profiles. I don't think a custom bit is required in this case,minor modifying of shoe and quarter mold is all that's needed.

I also believe it's 2 pieces but either way you can easily duplicate it with 2. Look at a Oak shoe mold for larger one and quarter round for smaller. Both will need one corner rounded over.

To prevent, slow or make difficylt to start your idea is good as any but location and value of tractor dictates type theft detarant that works best. Most tractors are stolen by crooks driving around in a roll-back looking for easy targets. A local dealer was busted a few years ago using a...

+ 1 for tee posts and wide spacing. Forget any kind of wood top rail,it will just warp and look like crap until it rots and falls off.

If the pressure gauge is on line leading to nozzles that shouldn't happen unless nozzles are too large and if the pressure regulator works as it should. As you correctly pointed out, bypass should compensate for increased pump delivery. For peace of mind and monitoring pump health,I suggest...

The pump is CAPIABLE of 5gpm @60psi but if pressure to nozzles is set to 40psi the nozzles are desighned to deliver x gpm @ 40psi and excess flow delivered by pump is returned to tank. Choose nozzles that deliver your desired gpm @ desired psi then calculate ground speed required to apply...

If the stuff keeps improving at that rate they might be bagging and selling it before long.

Since the material was well pulverized when delivered but immediately turned concrete like when moistened I believe you will have permanent hard pan beneath soil you put over it. The satellite view is of the area where trucker "said" it came from but we already know he isn't trustworthy so he...

The building the guy that posted this on May 18th was talking about. "I texted guy I got it from, no reply, called and he was "ticked"...finally told me who he got it from (who I actually know of...80's guy)...he installs septic tanks! I called him, he said it's from apartment complex that was...

The more I hear about the "material" the more convinced I am you should insist the supplier remove it and haul it away. At minimum you should have it lab tested for contamination and structure before trying to make silk purses from sow ears. It's very possible chemicals were added when used...

Oh man, THIS IS GONNA HURT YOU

Strange soil indeed. I've never seen anything that wasn't alkaline harden with addition of moisture. If millet does as well where you are as in Texas,I'd plant some right away then turn it under for compost before planting the Fescue. In Texas we plant Annual Rye and Hairy Vetch for Winter...

That is easily adjusted. There's a turnbuckle to re-center steering pin in pedestal and pin it self is adjustable in & out to bring power assist in at proper time. If adjustment isn't obvious when you look at pedestal behind grill pick up an IT Manual at Tractor Supply.

I never remove existing material before adding rock. I realize most people recommend occasionally loosening material then regrading but I believe they only do it because they see it done to public roads. Public road contractors spend 3x as much labor and material as necessary because tax...

At one point I kept model numbers of obsolete implements cataloged in my memory but they are pretty faded now.

With or without concrete overshoes? :ninja:

Many auto part stores lend or rent timing lights and compression gauges. Tractor Supply Company sells a basic repair manual you will find helpful in maintaining the tractor. Have you confirmed plug wires are in correct sequence? I keep stressing that because if wires aren't in proper...

Female threads with male flare inside are double flare. Male flare in combination with male threads is single flare. Pipe with male threaded nut behind flare is double flare. Pipe with female threaded nut behind flare is single flare. Got it ? :unsure:

I'd like to say how clever you are for taking the fast track to fixing your tractor rather than wasting money on stinking shop manuals then spend hours of boring time reading and looking at pictures. It really upsets me how many hours I've wasted splitting tractors just to adjust the clutch...

On the other hand it might be something else but if you don't have experience and take it apart you will have plenty by the time you get back together. Rebuild the motor! ROTFL

I don't know what this world has come to. Nothing comes with installation instructions any more. I'm building my own house and can't believe plumbing,hvac,concrete,lumber nor electrical components include installation instructions. Sad to say no one has been able to tell me how in terms I...

Won't start,HELP???? Well if I take it off your hands will that help? If you want to see if you can bring it back to life,here's what I usually found when symptoms are same as you described. Wiggle pin either broke,bent or missing. If bent it can usually be straightened and might last...

Don't bet on THAT. At the inception of computers I knew a man that set up a nationwide auto parts distributor allowing them to dramatically cut their workforce at multiple warehouses. System worked so well they thought they had no further use for him so fired him. Six months later the system...

Mixing and matching? With access to unlimited offset and recess,I'd say anything is possible even if impractical. How much wood can a woodchuck,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,? 🤔

Find something you love doing then find a job doing it and everything else will fall into place.

I second the motion and would run a few other tests as well. The amount of blowby and smoke isn't near as sever as I've seen so I don't think rebuilding engine is necessary. It sounds like there's a miss fire so check and double check to be certain plug wires are on correct plugs in correct...

To be certain what you are seeing is combustion gas auto supply stores sell a chemical to put in coolant which turns a certain color in the presence of combustion gases.

Granddad called them Spreadin-outters.

Some information in this thread defies laws of physics. When weight of tractor is distributed on tire footprints there are fewer psi than on cow hooves (especially when a single foot supports 50% of her weight while walking). Cattle would bog to their bellies, become immobile ,get sick and...

Jolly,jolly but to answer op's question, how will he know it's on compression stroke?

If manipulating clutch pedal intermittently makes starter operate the suspect circuit(s) should be obvious. If that doesn't narrow it down and in absence of wiring schematic I'd temporarily bypass safeties then begin at starter relay, work backwards to find where circuit breaks. Just make sure...

My thoughts exactly. Is it pastureland or waterfowl habitat? I've never once seen anyone plow land when tractor tires were sinking. If a tractor makes ruts a dozer will sink out of sight.

One of if not the most common problem folks come here with,it's not mfgr specific. If you don't know your way around a multimeter and plan doing your own troubleshooting,have someone show you how it works and save yourself a lot of money,not to mention anguish. The best mechanics would be in...

Bodies of water in Texas that don't go dry in Summer are populated with Bluegill and Sun Perch which feast on larva fast as hatched or nab mosquitos while laying eggs.

If you experienced an outbreak of chiggers you might decide to start taking those pills when your dog does. :oops:

I just had this conversation with a grandson and we came to two conclusions. #1 Next Feb-March he will put rippers down on box blade and smooth it out some then broadcast first application of fertilizer. He has Bermuda and it loves being disturbed right before green-up. #2 I loaned him my...

That's just what mosquitos do and the fewer we have the less blood we involuntarily donate. For those with open containers like rain barrels,water features and such I believe you will like this method of organic control. Where there's a valve at bottom of barrel 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil...

No.

I've bought and sold 9 properties over the years without using an agent and never had a single problem. I had one for sale by owner and a realtor approached me saying he had a buyer but would need a contract to pay commission. When I said I'll pay commission if you sell the place to the client...

Sounds like another story that got started by the group of old men who gather and tell stories at the coffee house every morning. It's a good way to make a battery explode.

You've stepped in now. The back door is that direction.

Is that the kid who bought all the floor sweeping nails from the hardware store?

Scrap iron doesn't burn very well anyhow unless it's been stored indoors and really dry.

It isn't manditory having hot wire at top of fence,anything higher than a cat can leap will do everything it would at top except make old Tom land harder⚡ when he falls from fence.

It will work as well for cats as it does for other animals. Not saying it isn't possible but I've never heard of an animal or human being killed or injured by electric fence so her cats should be ok if they wander into the wire. I use electric fence to control cats and varmints preying on...

The ordinance is in place to prevent commercial interests burning piles of pallets every day.🤔

There's two standard diameter stems for cars and this is likely one of the two. A regular tire machine will break the bead down without a problem.

"I got screwed". Maybe so but I'd talk to the trucker and ask him to give my money back or come get it and bring what I ordered.

My contributions are for steak lovers traveling IH-20 between Ft Worth and Abilene Texas. A short drive off I30 the only resturant in the one horse town of Strawn serves chicken fried steak as good as I've ever ate. A few mile West and a little longer drive of the big road is a place called...

I've seen people that turned more acres every year than most keyboard cowboys will in a life time and never learned to set moldboards without difficulty. A drag type plow with discs (commonly called one way) are easy to adjust and will turn more soil per hour than moldboards behind same...

I figure I can out-run snakes and the moose or grizzle will probably slip-slide and lose footing on what I leave behind as I flee.

Most think it makes sense covering surface with mulch because weed cloth needs to be removed occasionally to allow tilling soil to keep it viable.

I don't use a barrier because it severs no purpose. If the bed is 12" deep weeds can't grow through that much soil to reach sunlight. If bed is shallow a barrier will prevent cultivated plant roots going deep as they like. Or perhaps I don't understand what you are trying to accomplish.

The $50 Zircon WL125 isn't effected by a few bubbles and spilling some water doesn't change settings or accuracy.

I've used water levels like this with good results but invested less than $50 in a Zircon WL125 and it has been worth every penny.

The fat lady hasn't sang yet but I do believe you finally stumped the TBN brain trust in determining alloy.

May I suggest making at least a couple of crops using conventional equipment and methods before inventing an improved way of doing it?

You prefaced your question claiming to be a newbie but I feel the newbie because I don't have a clue about half the tools and procedures what you described. What do you think of turning 100% of surface over using a turning plow,planting 100% of surface in cover crop then turning soil again when...

The fact moving clutch makes the difference you know problem is with clutch safty,why in the world did you replace battery,ground cable,ignition switch and starter relay? Since you replaced safty switch and problem still exists either the switch is bad or there's a wiring problem at switch...

If integrity of this concrete is important my advice is use proven procedures and save experiments for something less important.

I tend to agree with that. For example I had a 65 Chevy Impala 327 that got 24 mpg and a 68 F-100 360 that went over 300k miles without as much as a valve job and burned a qt of oil between changes when I sold it.

The issue in original post is why flip up covers on containers are marked one for dipping with spoon and one for sprinkling as they have been for centuries but holes under sprinkle covers are so large it's impossible to sprinkle contents. There's multiple ways of dealing with the problem but...

I'm not certain what you are asking but I just want to mention #1 piston and mark on flywheel come to top-dead-center TWICE,once on compression when plug sparks and again on exhaust without plug sparking. Crankshaft turns twice while distributor turns one revolution. Timing doesn't cause...

😬 A feller could lose body parts riding that tater planter.

I have contacted half dozen companies to ask why salad dressing,sauce and spice containers make it impossible to avoid dumping too much on my food and not a one has answered. Seriously, salt and pepper shakers have worked well for centuries, why all the sudden increase holes 20x in size?

Insurance and registeration is considerablly more expensive for a semi,some jursdictions more than others plus considerations for farm use. Checking your state requirements might make the decision easier. I noticed you are in Texas,I haven't checked recently but insurance in the past has...

I totally agree with what you are saying but the device I posted above is far more accurate than judging spark jumping from wire to a ground.

Governor doesn't cause those symptoms but if you get it out of adjustment the engine will bogg or surge under load. Condensers cause these symptoms and quility of new is very poor,not uncommon to be bad right out of package. Put the origional back on if you can find it or as suggested...

Over compensating with wd hitch makes poorly loaded trailer dangerous to tow so try distributing weight on trailer. For loads approaching tow vehicle max nothing beats goose neck and fifth wheel.

Your butcher is rustling cattle and stealing eggs so don't be surprised if you find his place boarded up.:confused:

What incentive do companies have for selecting employees and training them well? Companies that fail get bailed out and make another run.

Lighting the wellhouse should discourage most of them. Pulsating ,rotating and other light movement helps.

We need more regulations on advertising in general,be-it tv,billboards or through mailings. Allowing advertisements for products and causes which regulator approves can steer society in desired directions. Allowing Anheuser-Bush unlimited advertising while restricting competitors being case...

I don't know why people get in an uproar when someone comes out in support of transvestites. I'm willing to offer services I learned raising livestock free to get some people well on the way to transitioning. ;)

Would you rather get rid of drug ads and see more Joe Namath and JJ Walker Medicare ads.

Gnats, No-see-ums and mosquitos don't damage anything so residual pesticide isn't required. To keep them at bay while outdoors I recommend Sawyer Permethrin on clothes,lawn chairs,umberella shades and other objects. Protection lasts for weeks and/or a few times through laundry. We have...

I'm not apposed to using pesticides IF DONE RESPONSIBLY and targeting specific pests but wholesale broadcasting always causes more problems than it solves. I wish I could still buy some of the pesticides that were taken off shelves in past years but if they weren't taken out of public reach the...

There's missing pieces in what you want to accomplish. If you plan using cinder blocks for enclosures they are the only part that needs to be level which normally must be done by hand. Why can't you set the blocks up,fill beds and plant then clean the surounding area up with tractor after soil...

Troubleshooting electrical without a multimeter is daunting,trying to tell someone how without a multimeter is almost foolish. You had the right idea jumping the solinoid and JC's suggestions are going in the right direction but if the problem doesn't show it will become increasingly difficult...

Yes but most of these stories are told for swag.🤠

Unless I'm miss understanding your point this sounds like a case of deciding "who owns the road". Other than passing on a two lane dirt farm road,what are other things that justify "putting idiots in the ditch"? Do idiots have the right to resist being put in the ditch? How much effort should...

What kind of structures are these with wood bees 40 feet overhead?

When I've found them in a building the first thing I do is paint bottoms of wood with a roller and light color oil base paint. They seem to pass up painted surfaces plus light color make's it easy to see holes with a headlamp at night while bees are resting inside. I splice a garden sprayer...

That to but there's a demand for loaders on lawnmowers. Larger tractors are designed primarily to handle ground engaging implements then loaders are installed as an afterthought. Going back,manufactures built engines,transmissions,differentials,wheels, axles and a few other components that...

It's on you to figure out the load rating on axle but I can tell you I've never seen a 5 lug hub with capacity less than 1250 Lbs x 2 = 2,500 for two wheels,nor more then 1,750 Lbs x 2=3,500 Lbs for two wheels. Based on experience gained from decades of owning and operating trailers I NEVER put...

The per hour rate for dozer and operator is reasonable when compared to tractor and operator so that is probably your best option. Just say on top of those pups or you'll become known as 2manythorns.:LOL:

#1. Loaders and hoes can be powered from tractor's hydraulic system but an aftermarket pump is often added which makes more psi and has it's dedicated reservoir. BUT YOUR PICTURES doesn't shed any light on that. What your picture shows is factory cooling for transmission. So yes...

I think the cause was much earlier than that and came from the bellies of Enola Gay and Bock's Car on August 6th and 9th 1945. I know this because I was stepping on those thorns as a barefoot kid in late 40s.🥵

First things first then we can discuss how to dispose of downed trees and brush. The reason you have a grove in one spot is because there was a single tree standing in that spot and whom ever removed it didn't follow advice I'm giving you. When a Honey Locust is cut down or dozed out dozens...

You mentioned "hydraulic house" so if you have a place that sells hydrauilic hose they should also make custom hose. In your case they will re-use the steel line and crimp new hose exactly same as old unless you ask for longer/shorter. I have my hose built at a parts store which caters to...

This is no different than other "LAWS" it's on the books but acording to what a lawyer wants it to mean,the law may do many different things on different days. How many times have you been told "it isn't worth what it costs to hire a lawyer"? If you own property worth $100k and someone is...

Well I don't like saying it but maybe you are. First jump out of the gate is saying what you are trying to grow. Like mo1 said above ,I just cut and bale soon as weeds are mature but before they make seed heads. If I'm dragging equipment over the field,I'd like to be producing income. Some...

And you would be better off over the long haul.
