The link for your pump at Northern failed but I doubt a 12 volt pump was intended for "all day,day after day" operation. Sounds like you need a gas engine powered pump. If it were me I'd buy a new roller pump and reduce rpms of a used lawn mower engine to power it but you can buy a complete...

I agree with the suggestion to run pump off tractor battery and if battery doesn't maintain full charge something is wrong with battery,alternator or pump.

What's the story on lighter colored soil in spots and how does it effect plants?

As will a box-end wrench.

I saw one at Joe's pawn and loan last week that can be used for several other things as well.

When women fishing near bridges move from sitting on 5 gallon buckets and begin sitting on the ground spring has arrived.

We hunted deer in an area of SW Texas where 75% of pastureland is for sheep. Ranchers belong to a co-op which retains a professional trapper. A reported coyote or Bobcat sighting resulted in the trapper dogging their tail until captured. Raptors were shot on site and co-op lawyer filed papers...

I feel like your original idea of opening roof or otherwise controlling when and how much structure breathes would be best.

Oh hell yea,they alllllll wayysss do that.

Doesn't most growth of Orchard Grass happen in cool weather? If so it will be on the wane by the time Crabgrass grows enough to bale. Using herbicide first year will set newly planted grass back so I would overseed and wait a year or two before spraying Crabgrass then use pre-emerge. With...

In my experience mobile homes,prefab and double wides have poorest return on investment of the options you named. My son and granddaughter both just moved into their Barndominiums after living in efficiency shops while building. Granddaughter and her husband wanted guest quarters which made...

Be much simpler letting me come pick it up and you wouldn't need to worry with it.:giggle: Is it steaming or just indicating overheat on dash gauge? If the later I'd install temporary guage and/or use laser thermometer to confirm temperatures. T-stats are usually stamped w temp but even the...

I agree with others that say don't spend time and effort eradicating crabgrass,just overseed.

I have a roll of shower door sweep that works well between wrench jaws to prevent marks. Tried pieces of inner tube and various other rubber and plastice but sweep grips best.

You will do much better buying an IT repair manual from Tractor Supply Company than trying to wing it with free web advice.

We had firecrackers when I was a kid that oz for oz was more powerful. Names withheld to protect the hipicrits but someone stuck the fuse of a firecracker through a cigarette about 1/2" from burning tip,laid it inside toilet at theater,went back outside to wait until it and blew toilet all to...

I look for stricter regulations on Tannerite any day. Meanwhile lots of people having fun with it. Like these guys

Yes,that's the Collard I mentioned.

Too many unanswered if ands & buts to tell you which is BEST but $300-$400 sounds like overkill for a total of 2 acres. You should be fine with a 12 volt pump on a 15-25 gallon tank. Just clean it up and run pump saver through it after every use and it will last years. The biggest drawback...

I'll probably catch flack from animal rights folks but I understand everyone's priorities are different. Between roaming cats, semi-domesticated coyotes and other preditors it's hard to have chickens around here unless they are kept in strong pens with tops. I'll share my method of slowing...

Have you noticed Mourning Doves being displaced by other type dove in your area? Until 2019 Mourning was the only dove seen in North Central Texas. There has been a steady decrease in Mourning Dove and increased population of Collard and another that resembles White Winged. There has been a...

I'll bet there's some interesting currents in that area. Is it common catching up draft and gaining altitude or is that too dangerous? As near as I ever came to soloing was jumping off the barn holding a tractor umbrella and I would have done better jumping without the brella. :cry:

Since you name issues that concern you we can address those and after we know exactly what op's are, we can address his challenges. I have never used transparent roofing because (A) As you point out even moderate hail will destroy most conventional transparent material. (B) It's unnecessary...

Maybe I could build a glider and name it The Wood Duck. Anyone like to volunteer as test pilot?

Welcome to TBN,we will be looking for pictures of your garden pretty soon. Keep an eye out down there for Eddie Walker,he will sell you something.

So yea,I plan to buy a log peeler and,,,,,,:giggle: not really but I can buy used 1/8" plywood 50 sheets for $50 and endless availability. Have you glued up multiple layers to make thicker sheets (I'm thinking 4 to 6 layers) and how did it work out? I'm thinking of sand bags for clamping. If...

Interesting ! Those you name do well in Texas so I might suggest Bluebonnets (a varity of Lupine and state flower of Texas). One of my favs is Fire Wheels aka Indian Blankets. They remain in bloom longer than many. I'm no authority but I recommend multiple seedings in the same area in hope...

I couldn't tell you what is reccomended for any of my tractors because I always stuff the largest I can get for the money in them. Here's a homework assignment that can be very benificial when purchasing batteries for anything,beit car,truck or tractor. Next time you are in a place that has...

Especially since you haven't told us the "must haves" and other perimeters she wants and/or will allow. For all I know she wants it in Gothic style and 15 feet tall.

(y)

Same as all things that come with instructions pay no attention to them and do as interweb buds say. Whoever said "you can't fool mother nature" never met TBNers with high post counts.

Yes I have. Best advice I can offer is start with a plan. In that event do it the way she says,not like those with experience say.

Saplings don't get that large anywhere except Texas and Texans jerk them out with their bare hands so that isn't going to work for op.

There's at least half dozen things that commonly cause a crank-no-start. Test one at the time starting with easiest until problem is found. Spark is easy to pull a plug wire and look for spark. Old tractors and cars from that period were easy to flood when they were 5 years old so 72 years...

These things aren't supposed to be hammered in,that's what a press is for. When you hit a press fit or slip fit assembly it swells,not much but it swells and the next blow swells it farther until there's no clearance to go farther. It's usually a good idea cleaning old part that mates with...

Sandwich Fir beams between cee purlins, 2x boards or whatever is on hand. 3' to 6' cut offs can be bought cheap or sometimes picked up free around weld up buildings.

I would alow the lot to revert to natural swamp rather than run tires underinflated. That's a clever way of moving a few yards in emergency but poor substitute for oversize tires. If you can beg,borrow or steal a drag mower it will take not only weight of 3 point mower off rear tires,an equal...

Your beams are more than capable of spanning 16' and supporting 2k in live weight. No way of predicting how long before rot weakens them. If you have White Oak it lasts much longer than Fir. Redundant load bearing can be had with couple scraps of 6"- 8" cee purlin at middle. Center support...

Not forever but a few here have been around since fire was invented,otherwise how could they know so much about any and everything?:cool:

Atta boy,may as well have a little fun in the process. My 100 pound mom could handle that thing better than me and my 190 pound brothers.

🤕 I wish you had been there to explain that to my neighbor when he caught me on a ladder by the fence when he left his sun bathing wife unattended.

40 psi will show leak better than operating pressure. Keep looking,you'll find it. Some soaps make larger bubbles so experiment with yours. Try bubble bath soap if you can sneak some without being caught. :unsure:

Ditto for stainless steel. 🥴

Famous last words of John Wayne Bobbitt. 😬

Things aren't always as they appear. I once found a man inside my barn and his car backed up to the door with several of my processions in the trunk. I was pretty upset until he explained how he found the stuff and was returning it. :cautious:

If that's the fix you can make some quick profit with all that extra hose and clamps.

I believe you are correct and the wolf compensation has been withdrawn in some areas if wolves wander onto private land. Landowners adjoining natl parks lease hunting rights to outfitters and outfitters get big $$$$ for guided wolf hunts. I've hunted my entire life,paid lease on land and...

Ducks and pheasant aren't real high on my road hazard list but I'm constantly on alert for Armadillo and Turkey Vultures dinning on Armadillo. Possum on the half shell is obviously delicious stuff because vultures always take time for one last bite before flying away and vultures are slow...

Couldn't have turned out worse than this? 🥵

This old boy told it like it is.

Dump them in sink and use a plastic bristle brush like most people. No soap,soap is for grease and oil.

Potato plow or potato digger? Neither. When I grew up on a farm every family had 1/4 to 1/2 acre of potatoes and no one owned a specialty plow for potatoes. We used the same bedders used to throw up beds for row crops every year. I still use the 2 bottom bedder bought new in 1958 with the...

You can't predict how someone might react to seeing someone near their processions. As bad of chewing I've witnessed was a man caught stealing Mesquite limbs near Odessa Texas. In case you aren't familiar with Odessa's flora and fauna ,it's Rattle snakes,Jack rabbits,sand and Mesquite as far...

Anyone wanting to steal it would carry a key or buy one at a parts house,repair shop or dealer.:ninja:

Yup and like females,the smaller they are the more treacherous. Dozers are easy compared to string trimmers.

I clean stalls and pens but pasture is being overgrazed if manure piles become a problem. As for "ugly stains in the terrain" I'd say terrain is sorely lacking in fertility so time and expense better spent fertilizing. I do worry my bull might be charged with lewdness or indecent exposure when...

That explains a lot and I think I'm beginning to see the problem now. I feared you weren't going about it systematically but now I see that you are using psychology. I once owned a horse that ran away when he thought I was trying to catch him. I learned that if I went about doing something...

Did you not say it still doesn't start after putting starting fluid in carb ? If lack of fuel delivery was the problem, starting fluid would momentarily cure it.

I bought a preowned home two years ago and when i initially looked at it there was a huge pile of used lumber at very back of property. I was pretty sure it was old penetrated stuff but didn't discuss it with realtor other than ask if seller was cleaning it up. Long story short,I made and...

Not meaning to be redundant but the starter is turning engine over reasonably fast isn't it? I have to ask because we are running out of possibilities and you did mention something earlier on about "resorting to jump box". Look at parts breakdown for your engine to see if it has a...

Coyotes often outrun bullets across a field (depending on who is firing them) ;) but they'll need their Wheaties to outrun these pups

No, neither does females in season coming up the rear in pursuit of males but it isn't important.

After old eyes couldn't clearly see spark in daylight and the pucker string got weak:oops:,I've found this works good checking spark to plugs.

🥴 If that answered Mossy's question about alpha pairs maybe someone can explain it to me because I didn't get it.

Okie dokie how does that play out with 2 feet difference in trailer length?

I wouldn't let SxS towing ability run me off the longer trailer if it's really what you like. 4 wheelers and SxSs can tow unbelievable weight.

I find lectures a lot less annoying than "sitting out in freezing pre-dawn conditions for hours, waiting for the coyotes to show up only seeing one for every 6-7 trips to the field before dawn." If nothing surfaces after 30 minutes calling I move on and if there's no action after 3 or 4 set...

Does it bust right off with carb cleaner or is it still stubborn?

I had a similar experience and after looking at everything I thought could be wrong it wasn't any better. I drilled a hole in filter cover so gas can be squirted in carb for cold starts and it has started fine since. In the interest of cost I use a zoom-spout bottle with gas rather than...

" I have read you can actually buy higher quality appliances in Europe and Japan made by our same common name manufacturers, but those are not available in the States, some suggest because of reasons related to planned obsolescence. I am not much to buy into conspiracy theories, but this makes...

I lean toward your philosophy that it isn't always necessary calling in the calvary with airplanes. If you must protect property for one reason or another, a lot can be accomplished by taking out 1 or 2 when there's opportunity. Even a missed shot or dog chase that doesn't result in capture...

If you never believe anything else I say you should believe me when I tell you I Heard and They Said are two of the biggest liars in the country.

Maybe so,maybe not. Coyotes were getting increasingly brave,coming into yards, lurking along fence lines during the day and stealing more chickens than usual. I ordered a tape with chicken distress calls then me and neighbors took turns setting the call machine out and killing coyotes coming...

I have been around cattle since I was born and to this day I've never seen a confirmed coyote attack on a calf. I have seen still born calves eat by coyotes and someone blamed them for killing it. I have been involved with setting up ambush for coyotes attacking cattle that turned out to be...

Non of what you are asking is straight up yes or no. The well house you describe will protect far below temperatures reached in Ar,,,,,,IF the insulation is in proper position. As an example of having plenty insulation but in wrong place,wall insulation between water pipe and interior of...

Best way depends on how you feel when you get out bed that day.

A business black topped a lot overgrown in Johnson Grass next-door to my office and the grass busted chips the size of 25 cent pieces and kept right on growing.

2-4-D,2-4-5T,Roundup or other brush killer PROPERLY and Carfully applied. #1 Most things will be killed,including the neighbors tomatoes if wind blows it over there. #2 Timing is important for best results. Early growing season when growth is vigorous and there's moisture in the ground and...

If tillers were the best way of preparing seed bed you would see farmers using Green 500 horsepower tillers instead of chisel followed by disc and harrow. As for Roundup before plowing,tilling or discing,it depends on what is growing at the time and how mature. In soil that's worked annually...

"IF" a plunger opens it up the problem is in first few feet of drain. Remove p-trap and inspect for grease build up or an object lodged in trap catching stuff when sink drains. Inspect wall tube while trap is off. If pipes are clean as far down as you can inspect,you'll need to use a snake...

When the woke community thinks it might advance their cause at the moment,they'll claim anything is a racial slur. Fact is I spent more time in cotton fields than a half dozen race baiters combined and I'm not offended.

Sea Foam is the only remedial additive I keep in my shop and you can guess why.

If you can find a drag disk it will out preform a 3 point disc 3 to 1 but if you don't have more use for a disc than I've found for mine you should rent/borrow one. If you don't have a box blade you can buy one for less than a disc and you will find plenty of use for it. Drop the rippers all...

Wife and I both drink coffee and never been able to make it taste good as what we get at restaurants. That doesn't boggle our mind nearly as much as the fact that mom's well worn Mr Coffee made fine coffee. I have to admit we would invest a ridiculous amount in a brewer that turned out coffee...

Add condensers to the new may not be better list. I've had condensers that were bad right out of the box and others that failed within 6 months. A bad condenser is the most difficult ignition problem to diagnose. They are so simple to manufacture people are probably making them in their...

I've told people that I wish all the bullies I ever ran across was online. Only older people understand what I mean. An old school bullying story for you. Four gangster motorcyclists came into a truck stop and proceeded to harass the lone truck driver eating dinner. After they insulted him...

Low point drains are effective and simple but not all plumbers install them unless you pay extra. If pump is below house opening spigot at or near pump might drain/siphon most water from lines in cabin when all faucets are open. As for using compressed air,buy the adapter at big box or rv...

Looks like you've been lurking 3 years weweld1 but now you've jumped some rabbits so that's about to end. Are you saying GMAW has recently gained favor over FCAW for construction and ship building or only for in shop production on heavy materials? The bigger rabbit involves "For home or...

It probably won't do any good telling you to look at facts and use common sense along with your own judgement but it might help others in deciding if big brother has our back so we can let him control our destiny. When you look at geography,the farther NE you go more people subscribe to free in...

Wouldn't it be great if signed agreements meant something in court? Lawyers make their living proving and disproving what documents say and mean. If a free loading hunter's arm swells up from a thorn he got while on your land him and his lawyer can own your place if he want's to put forth...

Don't remove the oil pan,look immediately behind oil pan where the clutch is. There might be a removable cover for clutch housing.

Since you have 50 amps to the shop,you can buy what you want without worrying about electric power or plugs. You have the most popular plug already and if you need something different it will be simple and inexpensive to change so worry about that when and if it's necessary. To get you over...

Were it not for "My tractor won't start,what's wrong with it?" and "Which welder should I buy?" weeds would grow up around this site. There is no one size fits all welder. If you expect meaningful advice,you need to lay out ALL your concerns in post #1,not wait until #22 to say "My biggest...

I'm no expert but I've seen a lot of home shop welders in use. You are correct in sticking to name brands. 120 volt capability sounds fine until you realize other more important features must be compromised in order to keep price down. Lincoln Pro-Mig 180 and Hobart 190 are my top...

How do they prevent driveways icing from overspray?

I don't think people coming in for a wash are near as dumb as the manager was for opening the car wash during freezing weather. As for your boy (y) and I expect he will go places in life.

Three most likly problems in this order. 1 Clogged orifice 2 Cobb/spider web in airway 3 Burner filled with ash IF a log has ever been burned. The air hose should fix them all.

To lash out in response to questions about your childhood years clearly says you don't care to share your experiences from the time. It's just that we rarely come across anyone today with childhood reaching back to depression and pre-wwII. Had i known it was painful I wouldn't have inquired...

WOW! I'd love to hear,I'm sure others would to about the expreiences you are speaking of. Where was this and what time period? American farmers were using tractors by 1929 when the depression hit and to prevent starvation, government saw to it that farming farther mechanized. Much improved...

Anytime you notice fan not running,going off and on,test water pump. Pump impeller replacement is under routine maintenance but many people ignore doing it. When impeller wears out,water stops circulating through radiator WHERE SENSOR IS for fan and fan is never signaled to come on. Ruined...

It's not worth it. I ripped off a "Do not remove under penalty of law" tag form a pillow in 1991 and haven't had a good night's sleep since. 🥺

Horses don't count,the question is will you believe everything you read here when pigs fly?

So if deer and cougar can clear 12' fences,antalope and everything else can scoot under,what difference doe it make what 5' fence is built with? BTW I saw a herd of pigs yesterday flying South for the winter.

Do you know the difference between flying squirrels and deer?

Housing prices are declining and around 30% of people who bought in last 2 years are already upside down. Hello bail outs.

Is there a pattern emerging on how animal IQ varies from one part of country to another? I've heard folks say people from xx state or city are stupid but never animals. In some places it's customary for hunters to hang coyotes they kill on a fence. Is it possible folks see those and think the...

Are you saying that absence of animals hung up in fence on either side of road while driving 15k-18k miles per year is not indication of what is in fences farther from road? I don't "walk" 15k miles of fence every year but I see my share of fencing in remote areas and the only deer dead in a...

Maybe you should ask your liability insurance company's advice on this instead of hobby farmers. Why? A The insurance company is as anxious as you to avoid trouble,tractor netters don't have anything at risk. B Insurance company has lawyers (dam good lawyers) few if any tractor netters know...

If barbed wire endangered wildlife Texas would be littered with carcasses. As it is I see animals of all species dead on shoulder after being hit by motor vehicles but can't recall the last animal I saw dead in a fence. The ONLY reasons I can think of for using barbless wire is children and...

It's interesting although something simple has worked for years people look around for modern technology to replace it. Birds are cautious by nature and avoid places where others of their kind can't be seen. Consider how well decoys work to attract flocks to a chosen location. If you are...

An acquaintance was contacted by some wholesaler closing out AKs,amo and bump stocks for pennies on the dollar. Being of the same opinion as you and a tough fellow ,he had two equally tough buddies secretly show up armed at the remote rendezvous place. The would be muggers recieved the beating...

The men in big red trucks aren't as cranky as the one in red SUV.

Only because I'm a tightwad ,I don't have a Blackstone. I use a griddle salvaged off a commercial range top and like it better than gas grill for steak. I think a Blackstone belongs in any serious outdoor cook's arsenal.

Ok,thread wander time. I'm not a meat cutter,only home slaughter and wild game. I've never found a stainless knife I'm pleased with sharpening. That is to say I sharpen and go to work until I feel the knife isn't as sharp as when i started. Even with diamond stones it take's too long to...

Some call it a habit,I preffer calling it soft heart and inability to watch animal suffering. I've been cussed and threatened at gunpoint by people who saw me inside pens feeding animals I felt were starving but I can't help myself. I once drove past a large dog that appeared to be...

This is about twice the horsepower you mentioned but this 4020 will work any new row crop tractor to the ground and not break a sweat, It has little brothers in the same series with hp you mentioned.

I concur with checking/testing items mentioned already but that means checking and testing,not necessarily replacing unless called for. Something that hasn't been mentioned yet is possibility of warped or cracked head or block. I don't like the looks of rust stain pattern on block surface...

I was about to tell them to pop a top and pat one another on the back and you think it's incomplete? :(

I believe y'all are correct in saying there are no quility control for deer corn. I once set up a viewing/photographing blind for my DIL and deer abruptly slowed in coming and corn piled up under feeder. On a hunch I dumped feeder and poured 2 bags in it. I kept a bucket of corn and offered...

Shied-arc (rip) once showed us how to make joints like this. I believe it was a combination of horizonal position, over sized rod,deep penitarting type rod,long arcing and angling arc onto heavy material while catching thin stuff with edge of puddle. Waaay above my abilities but showed it is...

Wooo hooo the title says All Things BBQ so thread wander is fair game. If anyone is thinking of a serious but affordable smoker I highly recommend THIS GUY . IMO noone can hold a light to him for service,price and quality. If you can't drive down to pick it up,call a trucking broker in your...

I'd like to suggest a way of disposing of brush and downed timber that (A) Reduce or elimintes danger of wildfire (B) alllows doing it on your scedule with less regard for burn bans (C) dramatically improves your soil for years to come. (D) Eliminate need for irrigation of deep rooted plants...

That's scary,it's a miracle he escaped. Some trivia about burning cotton (nothing related to oil fire as in this case). I worked at a gin in the 60s and witnessed cotton catching fire on the way through. Protocol demanded all cotton in the process at time of fire be cleared,sprayed with water...

While that is true it doesn't excuse throwing rocks painted to look like floats to a person who is drowning. It sometimes requires a lot of thought just to sort harmful advice from that which is useful or worthless.

What you point out could mean us old timers might be able to do things on our laptop that creaky bones prevent us doing where crawling under,over and around while twisting wrenches is required. Now if only there's a u-tube telling us what you spent 2 years in class learning. 😉

They don't allow us using the net for personal reasons here at the office but quick as I get home I'll look it up for you. Do you have a brand preference?

Isn't it perplexing how many believe all things are possible with u-tube even if it's their first rodeo? Then there's the "experts" that advise on all things big or small by posting links. MY FAVORITE

You shouldn't concern yourself with which lend themselves to repair nor ease of repair. Whether old or new,fixing anything requires asking the right questions and you don't seem to grasp how important that is. If your quandary is fear of owning a lemon,the post you opened this thread with...

That problem isn't just with cars and tractors. I recently bought a printer-copier and first time I replaced cartridges the printer wouldn't recognize them. I called retailer where I bought copier and cartridges and told them if I had to buy mfgrs cartridges I was returning the copier...

I would say people were more resourceful and possessed more drive than typical of today. It's true the average person wore several hats well enough to get by but few could wear them all. You shouldn't let it bother you that you don't have all the skills,you need mentors. Folks think forums...

Chicken manure is great but must be handled differently than cow and horse manure. If incorporated into soil straight from pen then seeded, nitrogen can be high enough to effect seed germination. Two very different materials come from poultry houses,one mixed with wood chip and pure poop from...

Modern tractors are no harder to troubleshoot but require tools that aren't affordable unless used on a regular basis. In early days only a small % knew how to troubleshoot and repair so they bartered for things they needed help with. I wish I could tell you everyone was all smiles but even...

That was my first thought when i saw Uwould's anvil. After thinking about it I figure he is a torch wizard and that makes a huge difference in required grinding.

Posthole digger auger? I built an extension and was easy enough but not very effective since it didn't clear the hole while digging and had to be assembled after original auger dug all the way in then disassembled on the way out. If I often needed several deep holes I'd build an extension...

No pounding necessary to install new shaft. jimjumper being a resourceful and enterprising kind of guy will sand gearbox shaft with carbide sandpaper to remove rust and imperfections before sliding new shaft on.

Gregster can you give details on the easiest way to change a shear pin in a fashion that fixes broken u-joint bearings?

Thanks for posting that to support my assertion it requires extra horsepower to pull a single offset plow (50 horse 4wd in this video). Despite what narrator says,that soil is far from hard to work compared to average.

Go ahead and disconnect from tractor. With catastrophic failure of u-joint, the shaft may have bent causing it to no longer telescope in and out (collapse while pulling away from gearbox).

I've been at this since the mid 50s but I'm always eager to learn in cases like this when others are teaching. The only way I've been able to successfully use a single moldboard is using a much larger tractor capable of pulling 3. When attempting to use a single moldboard with a tractor...

Beautiful pictures,thanks for sharing. I'd consider it a successful hunt and the big one will have another year to spread his genetics.

Don't put a new one o,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Do like ^ he ^ said unless you spring for the $$ OEM type. When the cheapie replacement go's bad there is no parts available to rebuild it.

You may as well compare apples to oranges as 8n to 2816 and onions to oranges as compare soil in AR to Newfoundland. An 8n with water in tires and Sherman might put it on equals with the 60 year newer 4wd. Within 20 miles of where I live is soil either tractor would pull 2 14" plows while 20...

Evidently you are missing something. Will the pto shaft freely rotate on the gearbox shaft? Did you remove the horseshoe clip from gearbox shaft that prevents pto shaft separating when a pin is sheared? Disconnect tractor end of pto shaft then use shaft for a better handhold for pulling.

If they bother you give me your address and I'll send you some Fire Ants to run them off.

A garden sprayer will apply stain every bit as fast as an airless and twice as easy to clean up afterwards. Airless is the cat's whiskers for large paint jobs but unless you cut pressure down to minimum you'll loose alot of stain to overspray. If you want a paint sprayer for other projects look...

Forge ahead,the memories will still be around a long time after the beast surrenders to the bog. My brother hatched ideas for spur of the moment action that took us and our wives on adventures I wouldn't trade for gold now that all my adventures are only in my mind.

I believe companies found a large % of people with complaints become discouraged and hang up rather than continue trying to make sense of a trained monkey. Think I'm kidding? Next time a telemarketer calls do your best to talk like you are touched in the head and watch how quick they hang up...

That can help where soil isn't loose below. Depending on how it's used it's called subsoiler or root plow.

I doubt dragging something through culverts will help. Jabbing into collected dirt while water is flowing might flush some out.

Middle busters were a necessity for row cropping until no-till farming took over. Ground was already tilled up (usually deep disced or flat broke) before using middle busters. If your soil hasn't been plowed recently, wedge posts or 4x4s in bedder frame and sticking out behind. Slide 8x8x16...

I 100% agree and will add 3p hay forks whether you feed rounds or not. In addition to moving things around with forks a pallet carryall is handy as shirt pockets.

There's more threads about this problem than any other. A search will turn up everything you need to know.

Slice and dice. Slice off a disc,cut disc across center into 2 semicircles then sand edge of a half disc to reveal what surface of boards will look like.

Bearcat sounds mysterious so that's what we call unidentifiable cats. Much worse picture and I'd call it "a something another".

Tractor tires weather check long before tread wears down. Lite truck tires are put on trailers before tread wears down and semi tires stay on truck until they no longer pass DOT.

Hello gd2141,long time no see. So long in fact people are greeting you as if you were a stranger. ;) Your conversion is correct, 0.023 = 23 Ma Having the battery load tested before tearing into it might be a good idea since it isn't uncommon for a battery to take a "surface charge" that...

I believe the mystery in this case has to do with speed the problem was explained. OP couldn't explain it slow nor could he explain it fast so evidently explained it half fast.

Ever heard "what the market will bare"?

Oh hell yea,any time an engine wont turn over the first thing I check is coil wire. Plug wires will do the same thing. Best to just replace them than mess around getting shocked testing them. Blown headlamp fuse can cause 3 point not to lift and low tire pressure is the leading cause of...

Your line of thinking is something some people can't understand. It's one thing to build something from what you have on hand and something different to invest in tools and materials best suited to what you build. In the first scenario you aren't near as discouraged by failure as in the...

I once drove a beat up truck with an Army green utility bed my brother said looked like one Fred Sanford would drive. People often passed up parking next to it even if it meant parking farther out.

They sucked the breath out of 🦁s

SHOOT ? Pickum up by the tail, pop their head off and leaveum for the buzzards. Even if you manage to straddle one in the road it will still hit underneath because they always jump straight up when frightened.

Lots of good info in last 50 posts regarding horse manure compost but as is often the case,you must dig through some bull **** to find it. Urea has about as much relevance to compost as what color one paints his toenails and a bit of common sense is far better than hysterics in dealing with...

Your discription of what did and is happening isn't exactly slow nor is it exactly fast,more so along the lines of half fast. For starters you should say whether it's diesel or gas because that's important to know. First it sounded like you say engine can't be turned with hand crank nor by...

I shot an elk with a wooden bullet,it just gave him splinters and peed him off.

I witness random acts of kindness nearly every time I drive on public roads. It's real common to see drivers pulling between cars to prevent them rearending one another. 😇

Your style of smoked bacon is more healthy than "factory smoked." The vast majority of supermarket smoked ham and bacon only sees about 10 seconds of smoke while being injected with something to give it smoke flavor. A diet including a lot of home butchered pork killed several of my ancestors...

It's always refreshing to hear your improved solutions but they often go right over the heads of us less educated and world traveled unless you take time fill in details. Approximately how much organic matter does a skid of 40% granulated Urea add to soil? Do you have an analysis of P-K and...

Psssst,sometimes it makes sense to own more than one type because none of the three are advertised as being suitable for all applications.

You didn't ask so if you have already btdt carry on. It isn't unusual for ponds to leak so make sure the soil will hold water and if necessary import clay to line the pond. The black clay near where I live makes great ponds but it's possible to dig through to porous soil and have to line pond...

It doesn't help if there is excessive wear, rust and corrosion. There might also be a problem with stretched or broken chinch string.

They obviously mistook you for 5030 when they saw you coming.;)

I have a Harbor Freight Stillson that is 7 feet long and carry it in my hip pocket on days i think I might needed it. 🤠

You will definitely find your answer in that thread BUT YOU MUST READ THE INTIRE THREAD and don't skip anything.

You knew what everyone would say when you asked.

Anyone here that hasn't heard the story about the room full of monkeys with a football? Kid was bored with playing football by himself when he spotted a room full of monkeys and tossed the football through the window. To his delight every monkey in the room tried taking control of the ball...

IMO both should make interesting videos and I wager the lesson in the electric fence deal would last a life time.😳

Gunk (preferably brush on if available) . Apply alow a few minutes to soak then hose,pressure wash or car wash it off.

It could be something minor or it could be something major. On rhe other hand it might be a combination of something minor and something major. Seriously,do you think mechanics know from discription of problems what's wrong before they lift the hood and run tests? They don't and neither...

The simplest way is to somehow compress switch such as with a zip tie.

Yo ✋ that's me

Don't let naysayers discourage you from pursuing your passion. Life is a journey, with problems to solve, lessons to learn, but most of all, experiences to enjoy. The very worst that can happen is not turning out exactly as planned but guaranteed you will learn alot that will be useful on...

Keeping top side of deck free of grass clippings helps when storing out doors. Underside of deck should be cleaned and possibly oiled for seasonal storage indoors or outdoors.

Why not use bed liner?

Your question is enough to tell me you should find someone that knows what they are doing. There isn't a set amount,it's done based on pressures,temperature and superheat.

You bet. I will go to the dealer on my day off to pick up a manual and get back to you with that info.

Two revaluations counter-clockwise past snug.

Bottom line is what ever people are willing to pay is the going price. We (I use the term loosely) are getting exactly what we deserve. If humans weren't by nature greedy, selfish, jealous and general horse's hind end toward one another barter clubs could solve the whole thing and set market...

That's typical in N.Texas. Judging by number of people engaged in leisure activities, most days look like Saturday. Many businesses have trouble finding help and are forced to pay premium to people who are willing to work. Due to shortage in workforce ,businesses can't handle what walks in so...
