I've owned rat terriers and never considered them impossible to kill while running around under tractors with mowers behind them. Countless operators,bystanders and animals have been injured or killed by tractors and brush hogs despite many having ability to reason and take precautions...

Why did you gut shoot him with your .020 cent slug? :unsure::cry:

Or a copy of previous survey and 13 year old kid with an app on his phone. That is if as you imply,op isn't capiable of doing it himself.

That's one way killing multiple mice and risk killing the dog.

Surveys have compass headings that can be used to find latitude and longitude of any known corner or change in direction which can be used via gps satellite to find any other piticular spot along boundaries.

Who would Arly be wanting to take to dinner?

Placing a dark cloth over it for a few hours might let the little feller rest.

Adding a clutch just to alow repeatedly bashing blades into ground isn't reasonable in it's self.

I'm don't think people that alow cats to roam should get quite 10 years and I doubt piney does either,however he does make a valid point. Domesticated, wild and feral cats are all very efficient hunters that damage wildlife. The same can be said of dogs and dogs also damage farm animals and...

Good afternoon piney,glad to see out and about. I've wondered about you recently. :giggle:

I don't know that you can entice pet cats to hunt,much less a feral one. Maybe you can entice your dogs to catch the gophers?

There was once a rash of hay bale fires in N. Texas that had people confused about the cause until a man was caught red handed setting some on fire. The arsonist and his father were custom balers that were often paid with a share of hay which they in turn sold. There was a local shortage which...

I use a push mower with catcher near air conditioner and leave clippings on remainder for a healthier lawn and less fertilizer. Those few clippings go in compost and free wood chips from tree service for mulch. Less labor that way.

My first thought is a new hand pump sprayer might cost than you'll spend to repair that motor. Any electric device normally has a tag or ink stamp but in the absence of that I;d look for make and model on sprayer. In my experience higher volts and lower amps rules when it comes to mechanical...

That is nothing short of amazing. As I said earlier,I'm too far along in years to start a breeding program but a bloodline yielding 70+% would revolutionize beef cow industry and registered Angus breeders would pay handsomely for stock .

If the problem is widespread I have to wonder why I've never heard of processors being sued and/or criminal charges filed against them. The cost is very reasonable to have vets run dna. If dna was taken from animal before turned over to processor,could one not say positively whether packaged...

Your numbers are same as I expect. 450 # packaged weight normally. The additional weight is comprised of organ meat,tail,tongue,tripe and things various people save. Maybe LouNy saves hide,horns and feet to get those numbers. Not to hijack the subject but what do members here keep that...

If you have access to a cutting torch and large tractor you can have a decomissioned 40' flatbed semi trailer delivered for about $1k. Have them line trailer up when delivered,drag it across stream,cut running gear off, sit it down and admire your new bridge.

Check classifieds purchase mower get you thru mowing season,than early next spring purchase what you want. Buy something to get you through summer then buy new one when they put them on clearance this fall.😉

The 1100# steer I spoke of was Charolais x Angus I expected to yield 51-55% live weight. Registered Angus bulls that flunk out as potential breeders and go to slaughter net 57-60% of live weight. Tell me breeds you are familiar with and % of live weight you expect them to dress out. It's...

A v-e-r-y important fact many folks overlook is that unlike those sold for use on public roads,trailer,atv,tractor and such tires don't have ratings assigned nor required to meet specific standards. That little fact is why informed consumers don't buy trailer tires and opt for LT tires instead...

I must look like a sucker because noone else ever mentions the problem I have with taking a steer to processors. A few examples. Dropped a 1100 pound steer at processer and they charged me for 770 pounds hanging weight. The finest 1100 # steer on earth will dress out 660 pounds. Took a steer...

Your 735# steer would be worth $2.40 to $2.50 per pound on the rail. That's why I advised op to jump on $2 for a quarter or $1.75 for a whole. The seller would be getting about $0.96 per # for steer on the hoof.

I keep an old mower (presently Craftsman 1000) around to mow areas where i might hit an obstacle and damage mower. If the primary machine is out of service or in need of replacement I use the old beater to allow plenty time to make good decisions on repair or replacement. I buy the machines...

"What to do?" Either start looking for used,hire some kid to mow the yard or hook your trailer behind the family station wagon and expand the search.

"$2 bucks for a quarter or half and $1.75 whole" You better buy that before the seller sobers up. "am debating going to the auction and getting a few dozen steers" So you went from shopping around for ground beef to just buying a herd?

We are a bunch of mean motor scooters and bad go-getters here at TBN but without laying eyes and hands on,you are asking us for the impossible. If we could all get around it with torches,welders and your pocketbook we would having you up and going in no time. You need to make certain (or hire...

I don't believe altering tractor is a good idea,alter blade instaed. Dropping hitch pins lower on blade will result in raising blade higher. You might also have to drop top link attachment point on blade. If you have a torch and welder it should be simple. You could also mock it up with...

Compared to most other recommendations ,the slit should be simple to execute and repair. I would believe 99% of dust created with grinder will fall and become trapped between metal shell and interior insulation. Using only half the tools needed for other solutions,fabercating a witch's hat...

Rabbit cage pliers and small bolt cutters work great on concrete wire. Hog rings and tee post clips also work well and in a pinch,zip-ties beat twisting wire togeather.

This doesn't sound like a need for rebuild,i think you will find a flow restriction as you suggested in original post. Model # is usually on a thumbnail size tag attached by one of screws holding carb together. Easly mis-placed while carb is disassembled.

(y) 1-2&3 should reveal the culprit. BTW,since you mentioned drain plug in bowl I assume it's an OEM carb. If you decide to replace (shouldn't be neccessary) stay with the same type because the cheapies on Ebay are junk.

I'm looking foward to hearing what additional tools you needed besides your sheet metal break to fashion the baffle lips,flanges,curves and radius.

Other than rushing air noise from supply vents,noise most often originates at blower assembly and the rumble you describe is a common complaint. I know the blower was tested at installation but it's easy so I'd pull the blower again before altering anything. Squirrel cage fans are factory...

The spray isn't unpleasant at all Oaky but the optional napkin grabber can ruin your day if you absentmindedly hit the wrong button. 🥵

I have one of those little roller buckets and it works much better,or should I say wears you out less than shovels and hoes. I mostly used it for setting a few stones or bricks because it's easy to transport to site. Any more than 6-8 cu ft and I use a little electric mixer that takes up to 4...

It might work but who wants to be a mortar forker. :D

There's no practical crusher for personal use. Even a rake/picker that works is an expensive tool unless one owns alot of land.

Twice as wide,half as wide,14 inch or 16 inch,i think it fitting that responses to subjective questions include more than respondents know about the subject.

Could have been a typo like someone:unsure: that said "Yes. Some posts, while true, sow confusion rather than light." But meant to say,,,,,Some posts are true and some sow confusion. :ROFLMAO:

Depend's on soil so your guess is better than mine. No way 30 horse pressure can pull 2 bottoms here but less than 30 miles in one direction and 40 in another they do it all the time. You might get a better idea by giving it a try.

That tells us no current is reaching solenoid which can onlt be 3 things,totally dead battery,broken cable or a dirty connection.

5000 wasn't as popular as 3k and 4k so it might be easier finding diagrams for those and ignition would be wired the same. If you don't have some kind of general spec and repair manual,look at "IT Manuals" at Tractor Supply.

It's called a bucket truck.;)

You might be surprised by how many comprehensive readers and critical thinkers recognized reluctance to "come right out and say" was leading into a game of tiddlywinks and moved on without comment. We less cultured specimens couldn't let it go without letting you know you were busted. Pass the...

Oh yea,providing that's how professionals in you area do it,you have a plan. I've never heard of such,much less saw it in use but you know what they say about customary practice.

There's a number of things that can cause what you are experiencing and it's best taking a systematic approach, testing things in sequence. #1 Is battery and theres several way of testing and I'm not sure if your attempt gave a good picture of battery health. Place both probes of volt meter...

You can't find anyone that doesn't believe they are too smart to get scammed but thousands are daily. Simply clicking a link "to have peek or investigate" is enough to alow access to your computor. All they need then is wait until you enter passwords and such and they have you hung out to dry...

The short answer to your original question Eddie is there is no short answer. The long answer is neither sq nor round bales spontaneously combust providing hay is properly cured before baling. Roof leaks spoil hay but don't cause fires. Millions of square bales of cured hay has been picked up...

I read all replies but I don't believe you are curious to know if I read #3. What i think you are actually curious about is why I posted almost the same advice so here's the answer. Bad advice is and might again be posted so the best I can do is repeat what i believe is best for op. Satisfy...

Whatever you do,don't roll engine with starter until injectors are removed. Don't take shortcuts or try lazy man approach in hoping water drain's into crankcase or dry's. Remove injectors as soon as you can get to it then use starter to blow water from cylinders. After injectors are...

There's another type that always come back to let us know how it turned out but still trips some triggers. Guy says his tractor won't crank and after extracting more information, turns out it cranks fine but never starts. All of us make mistakes so things move forward. More extracted info...

My wife's older brother was a deputy sheriff and caught us in the back seat one night. He pulled me aside and said "boy,you have a choice of marrying my sister or spending 50 years in jail." 😢 I would have been a free man 7 years ago.

You are not alone in expecting op to follow up. As for excuses like being old or embarrassed, well la,,d da,,, many of us are old and lost count how many times we've been embarrassed but still take time to help. The problem isn't a generational or regional thing,it has been around since...

Maybe I should have been more specific but take my word,there is no secret shortcut or silver bullet solution to this. My mention of being up to the task isn't just in reference to fortitude,it includes resources, land,structures,money and yes,experience which you are attempting to gain. You...

What we are talking about is self-centeredness that happens to manifest when sharing pocessions,faith,wealth and a host of other things including love. I think it must feel pretty cold and lonely.

You should do the "planned"expansions and fencing now,not in the future. Vist local horse professionals and follow their methods of keeping horse hooves dry. I think you will see large stalls inside buildings,covered paddocks,concrete topped with sand that is periodically changed out. They...

To answer your question,any charger/maintainer above 1 amp will more than make up for drain and desulfate as usual,,,,,IF indeed the drain is too small to cause a spark.

Y'all are lucky to have say so on who does and doesn't borrow your things. I have people that don't always ask and just borrow what ever they want then bring it back when they feel like it. If I say anything to them,their mother or Granny make's me wish I hadn't.

Heres something that takes less time to do than tell you how. Loosen starter mounting bolts enough to alow shaking starter side to side a few times then retighten bolts and this time don't be timid when you short accross terminals. Thats to say don't pull screwdriver away at first spark...

I have a little different view than everyone that posted so far. :oops: Emagin that! I want to help people but I try making sure they understand what is expected. When asked to loan something,it usually needs something fixed or replaced and deadbeats are seldom ready to spend a few dollars...

Now why would you want him to do THAT and remove some mystery from it? With a bit of tap-dancing I could see this winding up with more followers than Kando's drain plug. Speaking of which,I'm wondering if one of the tools suggested for removing Kando's plug might work for this. 🍿🥜🥤

Sounds alot like a broke wiggle pin or loose wobble shaft but I once saw a plastic bag hung up in the cooling fan do the same thing. Been a long time but as I recall it was a Wal-Mart bag.

The interweb just isn't what it once was. Why I recall when solutions required algebra calculations and more but answers were always found. You would think someone could explain the proper way to connect a garden hose.

I also have one so old I don't remember buying it. Maybe you should stay away from Harbor Freight for things that need to work and last.

Needs fuel and battery is missing. Don't know much else about it but previous owner said it ran until parked,needs a good cleaning, new seat and paint touched up in a few places. Lumber and firewood in picture included but land and outhouse aren't. First come first served.

Nea,no need for a come a long,take some air,starting fluid,fuel and drive it on the trailer,,,or home if it's not far.

Most additives are for maintenance, a few are preventive and non are a cure. If you suspect that much water,drain the tank, examine what comes out and go from there. Don't you have a water separator that can be drained? If not,this is as good a time as any to install one.

It doesn't matter what brand or model,they all bring the same at scrap yard.

(y) Two more suggestions. Add Seafoam per instructions on can just in case a restricted passage in carb started this in motion. BEFORE making more changes to governor,read up on it then take notes each time a change is made so that if a change makes it worse you can revert back to how it was...

No sooner than I hatched an environmentally friendly way to control California Ground Squirrels, the Wiki link posted earlier shot my idea full of holes. My idea was to boost rattle snake population, you have to read about it to believe it.

I.f 20 other residents means 20 households,you don't have a road problem, you have a neighbor problem. I knew a guy in a similar situation and neighbors didn't think they needed to pay for maintaining road since they weren't experiencing any problems. He stopped doing anything until road got...

I wasn't able to hear it well amongst other noise. Adjusting governors is difficult at best. Try mowing a bit to see how it does under load. Many engines surge at full throttle unless under load.

You little ignoramuses , shame on you.,,,,😟,wait a minute,we did something almost that stupid one day. 😇

Ok I've heard others complain about ground squirrels so I must ask if we are talking about the same thing. We call these ground squirrels and they don't cause noticeable damage to anything. Ground dwellers that cause damage are called gophers and prairie dogs.

I think most of us know but for sake of the few that don't, how do you know what poop tastes like? :unsure:

"IF" it wasn't doing it until carb and/or cables were R&R,the governer spring or wire link was put back into wrong hole on arm. "IF" nothing was disconnected and reconnected between the way it runs,link or spring got bent somehow.

If you had a 72" shaft when collapsed and cut 24" off one to get the needed 48",there would be only 12" "overlapping". Had you taken 12" from both there would be 24" overlapping which spreads load over twice the sq inches of engagement and an extra 12" up/down shorter/longer flexibility.

You are racy. 😡 🤢

It's probably just as well if you don't because it can be like poking several wasp nests at once.🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

If it performs as well as it looks,$4k is a bargain. Two things that I like on first glance is bucket hasn't been abused and chains on tires lead me to think it has been used for snow duty which is Childs play for that machine. Tell me it's diesel and I might try buying it from under you.:sneaky:

Floor drains,cabinets,tile and other things construction I pretty well understand but do poorly with pretense. Here is a couple where money is of no concern so the wife adds on the the home. The husband go's to a forum with questions about a piddly issue that any pro can easily fix so that you...

Have you tried tightening the packing nut? 🥴

I miss eating the difference between bulls and steers.

I would spread it and use it until i need it. Reason being that it can be kept viable or even improved from cultivation and amendments.

Though changing oil and which oil is used has been discussed for a long time,I don't recall anyone having old oil analyzed. It's well known diesel engines shear oil and can be tested to see know how much a particular engine does. Has anyone had samples tested. Collectively everything I've...

The 135 and 235 are both great machines but unless you can evaluate condition,you should have an experienced individual look at them with you or pay a mechanic to check them out. I've been around and used both since they were new and they have a good reputation. Gas and diesel models are...

A MF65 in good condition would sell quick for $3,500 in N Tx. Being on the market for 6 months prompts me to advise taking an experienced person when you go to look at it. "Doctored"tractors is big business. My standard advice to inexperienced buyers is that paying for eyes on expert advise...

I hate to bring it up but do you recall that mysterious c-clip you found on the floor? :unsure:

I didn't understand if your comment about TT design was a question or statement. I only work on my equipment and a limited number for friends and neighbors. The few times I've did anything with a TT required far more disassembly than I think should be necessary for routine maintenance,hinch .

Considering how difficult it is getting access to measure,drain and fill their transmissions I'd say TT never intended oil to be routinely checked and topped off much less changed. Same outcome as planned obsolescence but more profitable since it doesn't require retooling year to year. It's a...

I'd rather spend an evening at the dirt track roundy rounds than high bank any day.

Only down side to gravity feed is slower fill rate and that isn't normally an issue. Same as any storage you need to manage water.

The MF65 is a proven workhorse,easy to work on and parts are available if needed. If it has a fel or you plan adding one,the hydraulics are a little slow but a crank driven pump will solve that.

100% agree. The ball valve could be the source of leak mentioned in post #3.

Are you killing engine BEFORE turning ball valve off then turning ball valve on BEFORE starting engine? Assuming the answer is yes to both,I would suspect a leak after ball valve. "Leak" doesn't neccessarly mean fuel dripping on ground,a leak where system is under vacumm can pull air "INTO"...

If you and your family injoy having chickens around,that makes them a good investment even if they never lay an egg. If you do it for economic reasons,you will be in the red but not so far it really matters. Ditto for other livestock,,,,unless you are experienced but then you wouldn't need to ask.

Ok I didn't realize foam some areas isn't covered by plywood and thought the plywood was ripped off getting access to wall cavity. I hope everything go's smooth,,,,,,,but if your dog rushes in at a bad time to help,make sure it's all on video.

12 feet ! :unsure:

I've never been told to loop the wire and 90% of fences were only 1 or 2 sides of enclosure. Maybe they are confusing loop with alternating hot and ground wires which I do if stringing more than a single wire. Look the operators manual up to see what it says.

I seriously doubt Monsieur Pepe Le Pew did all that damage to wall,most likly some dumb critter trying to get at him. The tarp in front trick sounds good as any to me. The county where I live has animal control so I've called them when I had a skunk in live trap. They appoarch the trap within...

I doubt the soak can be overdune but time undoubtedly depends on species, moisture content when put in and less critical things. 24 hours beats not at all but I shoot for a week. As someone mentioned,posts tend to rot and/or be atacked by insets near ground level but that can be decieving...

Treated posts today aren't like they once were. Stand posts in wood treatment for long as possible then transfer to empty bucket to drain off excess liquid for 15 minutes.

Drive them in or do as they do in Ar when it's near solid rock,pile stones around post to hold it.

There was a time when I was really getting down on my guitar then the crank came loose and things haven't been the same since. Now that i think about it,cranks seem to be my downfall. I've twisted the crank on my welder first one way then the other and all I succeed in doing is making smoke...

Oh you poor man do your friends know about this? 🤣 Look's better than mine and I've been at it longer than you. Our pigeon poop beads aside,it's simply not true that It is virtually impossible to make pretty welds when fluxcore welding. It's also not true that pretty welds are always good...

I don't know Alvin Straight but my neighbor drove his 9n to the liquor store several times after losing his license. And who hasn't heard about George Jones and the lawn tractor when they hide all the car keys?

Horse manure has been mentioned a few times as being mixed with chips. It does give chips a boost in both speed and quility but I have something else you might try. Red wigglers turned loose in horse manure prosper and multiply rapidly. Kept slightly moist and in shade, worms turn it into...

The problem? I think the problem is an attitude that says punishment isn't a deterrent to crime.

I'm a believer so I'll be replacing my propane water heater with an electric and putting it on a genny. Can't take a chance on being out of propane and catching flu.

What ever means police have to use wouldn't be necessary to use a second time near as often if once captured they were punished as deserved. For starters 10 year suspension of drivers license and felony charge if caught driving before suspension is lifted.

Say wutt? :unsure:

Is the water heater on a genny?😮

I don't know what number they assigned to this one but it say's "If you don't know what it is or how it works,leave it alone".

The easy way is do as pros do (not plumbers ) test amp draw. If 30 amp breaker trips with 25 amp or less load,breaker is bad. Anything is possible but meters take the guesswork out. "IF" I saw a sudden rise in amps followed by breaker tripping,I would check upper t-stat to see if it...

Glad your brother lived to tell about it. I'm not sure what I learned unless it's to never trust tractors I've never heard of.

Seem's to be a common problem. Here's another one.

IRS Form 3520 is most often filed to report gifts over $100k from a foreign person. A Form 3520 is filed separately from your tax return and like your return shouldn't be filled out while blowing snow or other chores. Operating snow blowers and filing IRS documents each require your full...

Operator's manual.

I enjoy repairing for friends and neighbors if I'm able to do a job that will stand up under scrutinization. Patch it up to get them by until they can shop for a replacement and they tell everyone in the state when it falls apart 2 years later.

I have no experience with that same grill and only owned one grill which worked same as conventional with an optional infrared burner in lid that mfgr recommended for searing. Worked ok but I preferred using a griddle on 2 burner camp stove to sear then cook on grated grill. If your grill has...

Cedar can mean different trees,depending on where you are located. What we call "cedar" in Texas is Juniperus virginiana that when used as fence posts resists rot for decades,taking the back seat only to Bois-D-Arc. Did I mention that it depends on where you are located?;) Well if you happen...

Lucky hounds! To give you an idea how difficult Redwood is to find in Texas,I salvaged 1"x12"x8' Redwood boards from an old home that was to be demolished and advertised them for $80 each thinking buyers would want to haggle over paying that for used lumber. Had the usual inquiries saying...

:confused:It does make you wonder but it soon reduces to less than 10% original volume then eventually consumed by microbes in soil but it makes soil much better growing medium.

Theres over 19 different directions you can go with large quantities of wood chip. It would help if we knew if you are looking to just get rid of them without making a mess or want as much soil benifit as cam be had from them. What king of equipment you have and if time is a factor. Mixed...

You lost me as to why you dug such massive footings in the first place and now will use no footing at all but here's the best I can do with it. Pour 3'x3'x6" pads at intervals around the trench. Set 27/8" to 3" heavy wall tube in pads. If structure is piece by piece weld up,extend tube to top...

I do agree that wire welders a versital but for some who might go weeks or months between small projects AND is on a tight budget stick rules. Why? Wire soon rusts sitting on the shelf or in machine. Stick electrodes laying beside rusting wire will be 98% good as new years later. Anything...

Owned a corded Craftsman so long I can't remember buying it. I mostly used it off a ladder in the past but the older I get,the better I like it for normal duty. If it gos belly up before I do I'll buy a battery operated the next day.

Have you tried feathering the choke when engine falters? That can help deciding between fuel and fire. I've more experience with briggs but suspect Koler has similar components for fuel delivery ,not interchangeable but similar in function (many cars trucks and tractors did before fuel...

Seeing the "2 men and a truck"ads,Jeb and Hoot decided they could do that. First job was disposing of old toilets,pipe busted tile and other debris from a second story remodel. After a couple trips down stairs with armloads of trash Jeb came up with the idea to lower stuff in a barrel using a...

There shouldn't be continuity between green and either wire (much less both) tells you windings are shorted to ground. Not dead zero resistance short but shorted non the less.

Long hot drought and cattle pulled a pond down so low the surface was covered with dead channel cats I had stocked 5 years earlier. Started pumping remainder of water so pond could be cleaned out. When water got shallow more fish began swimming on their sides and dying. While sitting empty and...

I was so bull headed (still am) there's nothing I could say to me that would make much difference. 😞

I'll take your word on that and you can take mine that I'd be moving real fast getting out of Dodge.🏃‍♂️

Eeeew,have you took into account what friends,neighbors and coworkers might say about putting used appliances and cabinets in the house? Now if one finds something called trendy,retro, Art Deco,vintage or antique "AND" pays handsomely for,that's totally different. People are judged by their...

And neither know's diddly. 🙃😂🤣

With all the lawsuits and mandated safty devices(supposed safety,think gas can) how has hi-lifts remained on the market?

This has nothing to do with wire guage or breaker amps,something is crosswired or fan is kaputt. If I was taking bets I'd give odds on sub-panel not properly wired for ground/earth/green. Make sure you follow code for ground and neutral bar separation at sub-panel. It doesn't make a lick of...

As squirrelly as they can get at 3-4 feet I can't imagine going even higher.

Mom was Arky born,Tx raised and she said the same thing after each time she whacked me with a switch. Gonna do it again,,,,"eh",gonna do it again,,,,"eh"? Canadians probably could have heard me bawling NO MOMMA NO NEVER I PROMISE

Few people take time to reason things out as you have here. I think you make good points and I'm responding more so for those such as yourself who rely on evidence to help them decide. And whatda you know,here's a perfect place to start. The old Briggs plug is a foolproof way of maintaining...

Based on refill capacity in owner manuals for various engines I've concluded stick screwed in shows full but not overfilled after changing oil and running engine first time.

What the effect will be remains to be seen but there has to be an extraordinarily high demand for new and pre-owned homes in N. Central Tx when all these people tire of living in travel trailers. I haven't been able to find stats but I estimate rv parking space has increased 20 fold over the...

Yea it's funny how intire states or even multiple state groups have similar accent whereas like Canada people within a small city in the lower 48 have destintivly different accents and dilects. For instance where I live some pronounce R silent in snoring so that it sound's like snowing.or...

I've had experience with a few assisted livings in N Tx,some of it very bad. i don't feel up to reliving the emotions for the sake of this forum so I will just give you a referral. After having family, relatives and and friends at The Woodmoore in Bonham,I can say they are my choice and I'm...

Some don't pronounce it project nor pr0ject but hood with double oo pronounced u as in book - buk, hook - huk In Cajun country it's Vieux Carre which has no o but pronounced voo ca-ray with double o sound.

I've said it a hunred times and will say it again. 90% of problems in the world can be traced to overpopulation or lawyers. Were it not for lawyers,gas cans would look the same today as 50 years ago. Someone mentioned Blitz above. They were bankrupted by an idiot that splashed gas from a...

You sill didn't say if tractor wheels are adjustable (front and rear) and although i can easily look it up I'm not going to. Assuming all 4 wheels are welded on tractor.. Adjust planter for 30" center to center of seedbed. Set 2 cultivator sweep plows to run dead center of rear tires and 1...

That's strange. I don't know alot about them but I believe that's a Shibaura 2.2L 4-cyl diesel that other mfgrs used as well. Only a wag mind you but's possible each mfgrs model is a varant with different pistons that require head gaskets of various thickness for desighned compression. I'm...

Cops in California will try and get the drugs back if victim has a witness, a license # and good description of thief. Otherwise cops turn the case over to human services and welfare office so they can give victim extra commodity stamps they can sell to offset the lose. On a side note,I...

My posts weren't made looking for prase nor agreement but I sure didn't get on a box for drawn out lecture on the matter. I get it that I'm in the minority here at TBN when it come's to cultural behavior but as y'all put it "if I only wean one off the nanny tit,it's worth dodging darts hurled...

Come sit by me,I've been meaning to talk to you about your high jumps. It has nothing to do with your post count. Your mum and I found you by a billabong out in the bush when you were but a joey. Your birth mum had been ran over by some hoon in a jeep. We fully intended returning you to the...

Some people are the same way about drawing attention to their person when in public. You might have noticed them conducting their street vendor interprises. White brogans with gold buckles,lime green or hot pink threads head to toe,flashy ring on each finger,gold mouth grill,wide brim lid...

Yea,i think it's pretty much unanimous that too much uncertainty for meaningful advice.

Sounds like wisdom that might have been gained while going against that advice. ;)

I agree with that information but have to ask what in the picture make's you believe it's a later model. I guessed it to be an earlier model based on fender shape. Late models have a rather small fender that is square/flat top. I wouldn't stake my life on it based a small glimpse of fender...

Some ambiguity should be cleared up. If it is a 4000 with 4 cylinders I can tell you from firsthand experience that a better tractor in that horsepower range was never built. Some equal (like JD New Generation in same era) but none better. I would pay $5k for a 4 cyl 4000 gasser and loader in...

Cattle are like any business, you must know what you are doing "BEFORE" diving in and you can't learn the business surfing the net.

I'll say this,your cattle are well fed. When I see white cattle I automaticly think Charolais but those have shorter legs and deeper body than I'm accustomed to. Are those Charolais?

I realize the same people who ask questions like "my tractor refuses to start,please tell me why" and "the battery on my tractor lost power,why?" also believe they can be warned of all dangers that can harm toddlers but they are foolish on both counts. If you think I'm calus and abrupt,you are...

There's no such thing as toddler safe area,eyes on is required. Now,stop posting depressing stuff unless you have a message that can't be conveyed without it.

An acquaintance said flower children came in her pet salon to buy designer flea collars for themselves in the 60s and 70s.

Moss if you had been around earlier you could have memories of chasing trucks on your bike as they put out clouds of DDT. Speaking of rituals. A common ritual was fogging the room with DDT to kill flys just before sitting down to eat.

You bring up a good point. If one battery has more than .2 volt less than other,the pair will continue to work while acting the same as a 12 v battery with a weak cell and will soon get worse. Although it's recommended to replace in pairs,it is not mandatory. Batteries have improved to the...

That's why Chlordane was taken off the market. Instructions said to be applied in trench then covered or injected below foundation. Properly applied Chlordane was effective for several decades and if squirted all over the ground would kill everything that came in contact for years. If some...

I've had fire ants for decades agree they are bad news but I disagree with the majority about is taking the scorched earth approach in attempt to eradicate them. People blanketing their property with pesticides is the reason those that are most effective have been taken off the market...

1 wire alternator has regulator built-in.

Great tractor. What they don't tell you is that in 1953 horsepower was equivilent to younger and larger hosses than horses used to measure tractor power today.;)

Before gps,we put a mark or tape on inside tire tread that could be seen from seat or on outside where a helper could see it walikng alongside. Mark starting point on ground then use tape measure and stopwatch for x revolutions to calculate ground speed in fps. Worked fine on low tech...

You should look at web building trusses to understand that engineering can do more with less weight than solid beams. There's stronger trailers but not for $1500 used.

Having a fel on tractor make's a box or scraper buck and dip twice as bad. That coupled with inexperience, no amount of utubing can make up for it.

Agreed and on the "your own abilities"statement,if you aren't 100% confident just send it in to the pros. It isn't difficult but small mistakes can blind,cripple or kill you.

Let us know if new carb solve's the problem. On a side note. When I bought my Husqvarna trimmer and saw they offered additional 3 years warranty if I bought 3 quarts of their pre-mix for each. I continued using pre-mix and both started and ran perfect for over 4 years,,,,,,then my son...

I wish those kind of thoughts would be kept private and if possible,surpressed in favor of more civilized solutions.

Maybe not but they can own your hind end over monkeying with one.

I'd rather pay idiots to leave my mail box alone than pay lawyers. Contact your mail carrier, he's undoubtedly found the mess while delivering your mail. He might think you left it for him. Ask the carrier for advice. He might file his own complaint and/or tell you what you can do that...

He's "down here". 😒

What has the web come to? There was a time when there would have been more than a dozen replies with best available and near exact turn key cost. 😊

My observation has been that posters with high daily post counts usually contribute less per post than those with average numbers. A couple of forums where this doesn't hold true are heavily member supervised even though forums are moderated. Member supervised meaning titer lines are held than...

A bargain any day

Khaki/beige/tan color cars look the same when dirty or clean.

Bedliner

It's context.

A basic $15 pocket hole cutter is a great investment when counting pennys.

Agreed but just want to say my pant leg was attacked for suggesting members could and should call out borderline posts for mod review. Seem's as there's fear people might be mis-judged due to cultural differiences. Add to the mix that what some consider fun often blow's other folks skirt up...

New toys are fun when you can afford them but you've said you are on a budget. That coupled with indesisions on what kind of work you will primarly do is reason for keeping the stick for now. Try 3/32 7014 rods on some thin metal. The rod restart's without busting slag so you can...

I see what you mean. By the time I read all the stuff I;m not interested in,there's little time to spend with my faves. It's the same way where I live. Smootie shops,oriental cusine,bagel bars and popcorn stores on every corner and i hate all those foods. Every time i eat at them I get sick...

Ahh yes,clamps aren't much use without a dab of glue. My contribution to the subject is don't use your fingers to spread polyurethane glue. I once worked with a guy that knew everything about anything and was always eager to one up or top what other people said. To his credit,he was an...

Do you really think so? :giggle:

The government won't buy your 57 chevy but if you are interested,they will buy all the guns you bring them,old or new does't matter.

My mini-rant is that tv stopped broadcasting the show Cuban Chrome. Wonder what happened to those classic cars after they was able to replace them? My suggestion on supplying war plans to foreign countries is selling Russia planes as sorry and difficult to find parts for as the tractors...

That's true but unless crappie are fished heavy in a small pond and not returned after caught they quickly over-populate which results in non getting any size. The reverse is true of Appaloosa Catfish that eat everything in a pond and get huge. We forbid using live aquatic bait in our ponds...
