Identify plants then read labels to see which are controled and how to apply. RM43 and Remedy are non-selective,Grazon target's broadleaf and leave's grass unharmed. Folks that tell other folks which herbacides to use with no more info than you have furnished shouldn't be relyed on. Haphazard...

You bet,Gordon's get's the job done every time. Brand is everything when it come's to herbicides. Like motor oil and shampoo,active ingredients is only slick market hype designed to sell products.

Be patient,I Heard and They Said always show up for this kind of subject.

I'm aware that like so many,you expect a silver bullet simply by asking. It isn't possible unless someone does research on your behalf and that isn't going to be me but I will ceratinly give you guidance. After identifying 2 most troublsome weeds and if they are anual or perinial,look for...

I installed two when I bought my present house eventhough it had a three year old central heat pump that works fine. On my reccomendation and after seeing my bills a few friends and family bought one and have been pleased. My home has over 2,600 sq ft,I'm in Tx where summer temps run in upper...

Ok,I get the picture.😉

Aren't you a little far along to be asking for ideas?

You make it sound easy but I don't fully understand the process. Can you be more specific?

The mfgr did a poor job explaining how to hook propane up and should not of mentioned "liquid" without farthar explination. Were you in Mn or Mi,it might be neccesary operating with liquid and I would go into detail on how but you are in Texas. Any regular 20-40-100 pound bottle will be fine...

Auto-Zone has a selection and Ebay has one even bigger.

Could be as simple as dead battery. You say battery is new but it's possibly run down or defective. Fully charged a good battery should have 12.7 volts,maybe more but 12 volts isn't enough to crank anything. Charge it,test it and try it agin.

Prayers for y'all and while I'm saddened by her condition,I'm inspired by how y'all handle life.

Mixing and pouring concrete in this heat?????? You are a glutton for punishment. I don't need to ask how you feel after battling the virus but how's the Missus feeling now?

I need to roll my new sod. Can I borrow your roller? Since it's so heavy,can I borrow your trailer and have you set the roller on it with your fel? 😇

By the topic I thought you regained your virility and I was about to ask the secret.

Since it was"like the flip of a switch" rather than intermitently and/or progressive,perhaps some kind of trash jambed the governor link. I don't reccomend adjusting or general tinkering with governers. Just close inspection in this case.

For anyone that must ask what to use,I reccomend laundry detergent or dishwashing detergent for any and all coil cleaning. Reason I say that is both tractor and home systems have been discussed in this thread. Specialized cleaners are available for various situations and they require various...

Watch u-tube hack videos. Make a u-tube video.

Why would anyone who never dealt with a tractor flat tell others how it's done?

I wouldn't expect rust on wheel bead of a tractor this late model but it's worth checking. I'd take rear wheel off,lay it on level surface and run soapy water around stem and beads to see if that's where air is leaking. If so I'd haul it to a shop to have them take tire off wheel and wait til...

Tractor mfgrs sometimes use some lights made for after market on road use. Look at lens for for Dot approval and mfgr's part # to see if Napa can order it for you.

If I needed a tractor to use the Super C win's hands down. If I wanted a toy any "Popping Johnny" would be my first choice. Complicated? I've seen farmers repairing both on a turn row rather than take it home first. I suggest joining an enthusiest club where experienced owners show one...

What I find most interesting is that Ford didn't figure out what was killing 6.0s and still didn't get on board after shade trees found the solutions. Dealer service is not what it was at one time.

Where else would you expect to find a Bush Hog hiding?

There are sorry examples of any product but I would have thought after trying many one would have worked for you. What did they fail doing that you were expecting? I can tell you straight up that no condenser cleaner is worth using unless hosed off regardless what mfgr says. Manys a coil has...

What I don't do is kick thigs that heavy,good way to break a toe or have neighbors wonder what's come over you. Advertise it free on CraigsList if you want it gone.

Oh hell yaw,rbstern could pick one of these up and have that ditch knocked out in no time atall. Guy down the road here cut's railroad track and such every day with a mixture of water and sand. Bin thinking bout asking where he got his rig and get one for myself if it doesn't take too much...

There are areas of black clay in Texas that is impossible to push a garden shovel into when dry then sticky than bubble gum when wet. Every year during dry summer months the county get's unimproved roads smooth enough only traction limit's how fast you can drive down them(smoother than many...

Misuse of pesticides for tent cats or bagworms is no different than other pests. It's relatively easy doing more harm than good by spraying everything in site with overly toxic chemicals. Chlordane was an effective,safe and long lasting treatment for termites when inject well below soil surface...

Isn't it interesting how these have disappeared in places while thriving in others. I'm carouse if anyone over the age of 60 has lived in the same area and only noticed these in recent years.

Husqvarna evidently believes pump gas causes problems. When I bought a Husqvarna string trimmer they offered to extend full factory warranty 3 years if I bought 3 quarts premix fuel. I bought the fuel and by the time i burned it without as much as a hicup I was hooked and bought more. That...

Were it in Texas I'd suggest small claims court. It is overseen by locals elected by locals and procedure is much the same as you see on judge Judy,Peopls court and hot bench. They alow lawyers but no legal dancing so there's no need for one. $10k max and they deal only in dollars,can't force...

They were used extensivly on cars for several years before printed circuits. You might ask to go through a catalog at NAPA or the like. Probly find one on a car at junk yard. If I had to put a discription with it I'd call it a polorized female dual spade connector.

That's using your head for something other than holding ears apart. I built a single shank root plow and while I was at it I made provisions to bury pipe. Old window weight on 12" of 7/16" chain,open hook welded to heel of plow. Drop end link of chain over hook,drop plow in hand dug hole,tie...

Velly interesting,thank you. I suspect he is in high demand as a teacher and demonstrator. With the recent heat wave,how can he stay in there long enough to do that? When he pulled it out of sand I thought it was half a blower housing but you say air filter. Your bro's mug doesn't ring a...

Saaaay,you boys should get togeather when time come's to control them.

Easier said than done. Conventional sprayer doesn't have suffecient pressure to penitrate the web.

Bagworm is often applied to different creatures in different areas but both are equally destructive. We have both in Texas,some years more than others but always have some of each. The one pictured(tent caterpillar) is most previlant on Walnut,Persimmon and Pecan. It's the only serious pest...

Aaaaw,you say that like it's common practice for the media and people actually do believe them.

You bet it's good and I wish you success.

Almost exact words of the guy 5 minutes before he cut that fiber optic cable.:cry:

Or someone else might have to use 911 for you.

Under body is real handy,,,,,,,,,at first before I get it crammed so full stuff fall's out when door is opened 😲 then has to be thrown in bed of truck in order to close door.🥴 Locks are no good on any of them. Every time i store a chain someone gets box open and strings tools on the chain...

"Any advice would be gratefully appreciated." #1 Unless you are female,in which case I understand,try to be less wordy and stick with relivent info. #2 Always look at these things with logic before acting. Logic tell's us it's probably related to removing final drive and the only switch that...

Tell me more. Calling 811 to have underground public utilities flagged I know about. "A ground level for flagging" and locating privatly installed things I'm not up to date on.

After retiring and forefilling my bucket list,I went ice fishing in Mn. I noticed a man entering a small building and remaining for extended periods. My guide/host who own's property on the lake explained the man was entering an underground dwelling beneath the building which is on land...

Didn't "Useless" and Darrel build one on Mountain Man Show?

To feed nightmares????

As I recall the guy said he thought he saw Bigfoot in a hammock drinking beer. Come to think of it wasn't that the same guy that reported seeing pallets in a field?

It doesn't sound like he damaged anything nor did landowner complain. The crux is this level of independence is no longer tolerated in our modern society.

Costello: And you don't know the fellows' names. Abbott: Well I should. Costello: Well then who's on first? Abbott: Yes. Costello: I mean the fellow's name. Abbott: Who. Costello: The guy on first. Abbott: Who. Costello: The first baseman. Abbott: Who. Costello: The guy playing... Abbott...

Does that make you a light-fingered numb skull?😇

I grew up with native Cedars as Christmas Trees. It was a good annual get togeather for hearvest and a half day beer party each spring when brothers and I sheared and pruned future trees. We had a 22 acre field that wouldn't grow much but weeds and Cedar. From post WWII,dad left it for quail...

Flags by each tree to make it easier while brush hogging. Make 50 flags and cut field in sections while moving flags. Even knocking down 30% is easier than spraying all of it. A 20+ hp garden tractor with belly mower might be a big help getting between trees where the hog can't go. With the...

Let that be a lesson to use your crappy pocket knife instead of those fancy knives cutting loose threads off your britches. "CHEMICAL CAUTERIZATION". I'll try and remember that. Here's another that will be followed by something you might rather skip. "WET MACULAR DEGENERATION". The...

Owners of 2014 Dodge Grand Caravans with hide-a-way 2nd and 3rd row seats to name some that do. I'm sure there's others,like those who forgot spare,spare is flat or never had a spare since buying truck. But this shouldn't prevent you nameing a vehicle so let's hear it.

I wasn't aware of those capacitors. Will you please tell us where they are located on this '03 Dodge Dakota and one other vehicle of any make or model? If not on truck,tell us location on a make and preferably model trailer. I'm pretty sure they will be listed in parts list for truck or...

Just so that we are prepared ,tell us a truck that must have key left in ignition and ignition on in order for 4 ways to work while driver is gone to have flat tire repaired.

That's right so even when truck ignition switch is off and key in his right front pants pocket,brake lights and 4 way flashers are supposed to work,no exceptions.

Right up front,you shouldn't be expecting much from a set of lights that cost $17 #1. When you installed new lights,did trailer get ALL new wires or were some of old wires used? #2. Did you connect every white wire from every light to 1 wire that lead's to white wire on 4 way plug? #3. (I...

Why mess up a good thing? If you eliminate newbies asking same questions over and over so that veterans parrot what they saw on u-tube,the forum will dry up and blow away. BTW,my tractor won't start,can you tell me why?😜

Mine sound's like little boomer;) after I cleaned connectors.

For the most part,conifers aren't sensitive to braodleaf herbicides but CHECK THE LABEL for your species. If weeds are mostly grassy type and you are able to see trees well enough to avoid them I'd brush hog first.

Crazy,both impliments are dangerous at best,home brewed is equivemlent to a death wish. There's a market for pto shafts,gearboxes and tail wheels,sell them and put money towards a digger.

Look at operators manual to see if controls are set right for 3 point. No manual? Get one,there will be other things down the line.

"Barely coming out" while cranking point's to restriction,fuel shut off malfunction or bad injector pump. If fuel come's out under pressure,lack of glow plug operating is possible but unlikly in hot weather. If glow plugs work and fuel squirts,it's time to test compression. I wouldn't get...

I put 1/2 gallon water with 1/2 teaspoon laundry detergent in garden sprayer. Set noozle to stream,squirt some up one hose then the other alowing water to run back out. Alternate back and forth until drains are well flushed and rinsed. Finish up with 1 quart water with 1 teaspoon clorox to...

What Complete T.C. said and I might add Crabgrass and Dallis Grass are good grazing so I'd count my blessings and leave them be.

I got it twice,once from "I Herd" and again from "Tha Said". The two most quoted authorities on every subject discussed here.

THAT IS NOT A LINK TO A LAW ,PURPLE PAINT OR OTHERWISE. That is blatant spam. Your link is to your real estate agency and any words mentioning purple paint are your thoughts NOT words from Texas penal code. I'm insulted you think we are too stupid to see through your attempt at getting free...

Didn't end,only branched out to questioning why paint or signs are neccessary to begin with. Some feel purple paint is good,some believe it's part of a greater plan(I certainly do). They claim paint is so simple anyone can do it,paint serve's those that can't read,paint is inexpensive and so...

Yes, failing to practice temperance is one of the many negative results of alowing our mind to fall captive. Most if not all social issues would be forever resolved if it were not for this lack of temperance. Bikeshedding and Virtue Signaling are a couple of popular tactics used to build...

Eventhough it took the long way around,I'm glad to hear we are on the same page Sig. The poor fellow with plumbing has been fed California kool-aid from birth and doesn't know how to take charge of his life.

Sig you just made my point that mental fences are stronger than physical fences. Your mental fence only alowed you to seen 2 lines out of the 16 I wrote then spend 8 lines attempting to skew the context. 14 lines were dedicated to how one can fall victim to their own mindset. Had I wanted to...

What I get from Fuddy's remark,the preacher,****** and the song is that people can be and are fenced in by their own state of mind. In the case of real fences,people can be shown ways to escape,mental fences I'm not so sure there is a way out. Since I last posted,I read on a forum much like...

It's hard to believe there's no flywheels to be had. I would offer a small engine shop premium price to find one.

I believe it's at our door and will be coming in shortly. On a daily basis we see people on tv acting out for no reason other than show society how far they can go while protected under existing laws. If you found someone camped in your front yard tomorrow and broke their arm while forcing...

You are right Piney and I'll back it up with personal knowledge and experience. We have wild pigs for the taking but folks sit on their porchs waiting for hand outs. They claim they are too poor to afford guns and ammo eventhough people are continuesly shot in the nieghborhood. We say we will...

If you can't pry them apart loosen bolts and use mower in heavy grass. Added load will help plates seperate then you can adjust the clutch.

Haven't you heard the old saw about not fixing tractors that lay golden eggs? 😀

Thank you for sharing that. To be certain I'm clear on seat switch,does "In this case the seat switch is not part of the start circuit, so doesn't effect starting" mean one can stand beside machine,push clutch down and start machine while seat is vacant ? What is the seat switches purpose?

I don't see how the seat switch could be at fault. It's working otherwise engine wouldn't turn over. Symptoms point to safty switch circuit which seat is part of but it's closed while cranking and is still closed when clutch is released. If I were suspecting a switch rather than a wire,I...

We often buy things online that are available in local stores. Actually most things we buy from Home Depot,Lowes,Northern Tool,auto parts,Ace Hardware and Wal-Mart are ordered online then picked up in their parking lot. Why go inside and risk being run down by kids with shopping carts? If I...

And consequently water in gas?

I hadn't heard that before. For benefit of those who can troubleshoot electrical will you explain where the excess load come's from causing fuse to blow?

That's also what jumped out at me. I would start there to see how + voltage found it's way into that circuit.

Replace the water pump and t-stat "YESTERDAY". It's a routine maintenance item that get's overlooked. Even if not worn the impeller might be slipping on shaft.

Mills near me replace blades and give us used blades for forging. Both have a policy that say's customer buy's new blade if they hit stone or metal in customer's log. Some firewood cutters buy it by the roll and replace chain saw blades instead of sharpening. Those play nicer at the forge...

The majority of people in Ft Worth Tx are of hispanic or Latino origin so there's a market for authentic Central American food. If you order chili at traditional Tex-Mex restaurants you will be served something similar to caned Wolf Brand. At an authentic place you get liquified Habaneros with...

My comment was with reference to; I acknowledged the need for and suggested clear coats earlier.

No pigs! Well we need to do something about that. I figure if we drop off 2 bred sows and a young boar this summer,by spring 2022 you should have enough to make life interesting. They normally have 8 in a litter and 9 survive.

Explaining static vs dynamic load is above my pay grade but I know the differece and the difference is huge for trailers. Axles are rated at dynamic load which mean's it will support far more than rated load while parked. Placing jack on frame rather than axle is foolish and dangerous...

I have a Cub but only because it was offered at a price that made it hard to pass up. The A has much more power and Super A even more.

+1 on swale and gutters.

Anyone that believe's everything on the web and specifically u-tube is fact should take a break. Anyone that thinks the jack is supporting the intire load when one wheel is lifted shouldn't attempt checking air in tires much less change tires or adjust breaks. Doesn't matter anyhow because I...

Yikes 🤪 Don't even think about getting gasoline or starting fluid near it(could blow head off diesel) do what ruffdog said.

IMO,your idea of " bring in some soil and kind of back-blade it over the rough areas to slowly smooth things out..." is exel;ent. Searching this site will turn up more bad advice than it will good useable advice. _Primarly hog wash about using a fel or rake rather than land plane or box blade...

Piney the fake news doesn't do that out of ignorance,they do it intentional to better fit their narrative.

To isolate problem to fire or fuel put a few drops of gas or squirt of starting fluid in carburator while cranking.

Kubota would be my choice in tractor size you are buying. R4 will surfic unless pulling ground ingaging equipment of any kind. R1 for me all the way. Don't worry about tearing ground up with R1s on tractor. In the Piney Woods shoats tear the ground up,tractor need's R1s and box blade fix it. 🥲

Why do you think parts of country where it's considered ok taking mid-night strolls around other people's properties are the same parts where honest people are frightened to be after dark? That's a rhetorical question,everyone knows but still insist's remainder of country should be the same as...

Painting,staining,waxing,oiling,coloring and otheriwse obscuring grain and color of Eastern Red Cedar make's as much sense as Scotchgard on tailor made wool Italian blazers. OP live's in and fell tree in Kentucky so it must be an Eastern Red Cedar aka Juniperus virginiana which is among the...

Going in circles never end's well. o_O

If you have deep pockets (as flushing wth distilled indicates) just replace and be done. Poor boy would keep flushing with tap water until it start's clearing up then fill with a-freeze and distilled. Poor boy with money from selling a hog might flush as above to clean out engine then take...

I have built several things over the years from Red (airomatic) Cedar and settled on lacquer for finishing. I've always air dried before using but if forced to use green I would try wiping sap off w/lacquer thinner then applying lacquer. I reccomend cutting rounds and air drying as long as you...

Until insulation became soy base or waht ever wires were not chewed near as often. When will they put an additive in insulation to stop chewing?

Funny you bring this up when I have tickets to see Gee Watson in Greenville Tx next week. We were never pals but crossed paths many times growing up near Paris Tx. You knew Gene was around by the swarm of girls. In addition to injoying his music phrases,places and names in his songs bring...

Do you mean to say people don't always stop then and there to put things back like they found them?. 😄

It's your system,you will live with it long after installers are gone and it's your money paying for it. Get it like you want it ow because a do over later on isn't much of an option.

That's a nice blade. Granddad had one similar that was mule drawn to maintain public roads in the early 20th century. Looking back,it worked better than my 3 point blade.

I was spanked and I spanked my kids but I decided it was wrong to spank kids while the law forebid whipping adults for misbehavior.

The two stage clutch may have been damaged. I'm not familiar with you tractor but many have ground speed pto and engine speed pto. Check your operators manual to see where and how to shift from one to the other.

I much prefer box blade. If sod doesn't fill in by late summer I'd broadcast annual rye to control erosion over the wet season. By erosion I mean dirt washing out of holes I had just filled.

You might find a bad bearing, something binding or loose if you remove belt and feel each pulley with hands. Do it after operating a while because bearings often don't bind until they heat up.

Another proceedure where mechanic might run short on hands(unlike op who needed an extra butt):giggle:. I mentioned meter clips earlier but in case some aren't familiar, here's one solution when that happens. tomplumb,👍 that tip really should save people time and frusteration with no crank and...

I believe those posting in this thread are serious about good pratices. Here's a simple and time saving tip for testing fuses on car,truck and tractor. Turn everything on and go down the line of fuses with volt meter set to battery volts. Touch (preferiably clip to free both hands) black -...

Actually you don't even have to climb fence and set foot on the property. "Sec. 62.0121 A person commits an offense if the person, while hunting or engaging in recreational shooting, knowingly discharges a firearm; and the projectile from the firearm travels across a property line." Of course...

Thanks,I wanted to know so as to best address your concern without detouring. You are correct,that is absolutly a poor way to ground when frame is bolted togeather instead of welded. Adding a dedicated ground wire that go's to all lights is simple and straightfoward. The conventional flat car...

Thanks for posting the obit,I didn't know about his injury and thought his condition was due to age . To echo others,he was so generous and patient in sharing knowledge with any that asked.

With the virus taking on new variants as quick as another is curbed it was bound to happen. The lawn tractor cpu evidently caught a virus and now it has spread to the truck cpu. 😲🥴🤑😷 You'll need to change oil, filters,flush system and get additives in everything on the place before it...

Think nothing of it,by the time you are my age you will learn to stay sharp and keeping track every secound while working on things. That come's from having kids🤸‍♀️,followed by grandkids🤼‍♂️ then great grandkids🧑‍🦯🧎‍♂️🏃‍♀️🧍‍♂️ asking one question after another while climbing all over what you...

If that frame is 48"x96", 8" sides will hold all the rock,sand or dirt axles and springs can support. Tires may farthar reduce load capacity so look at those before getting too far along. Perhaps making bottom slat of 3 slat side shown above 8-10 inches tall can make plywood unneccessary when...

By any chance were dead trees the result of insects? I've seen areas in NM and CO where thousands of acres of pine killed by diseases spread by beetles.

Oh you are only envious of the fortune they've made selling drink coolers.

Folks in the woods with hightened imaginations ? Once while elk hunting I heard loud voices and went to investigate. A lady dressed in orange was pointing a rifle at a bow legged guy wearing chaps and a weather beaten wide brim hat. Bow legged guy was saying "ok lady you can keep the elk if...

From the first post I thought how many people would love plowhogs litter for compost. Now you post a machine grinding trees many would use for poles and posts. If those are cedar as they appear to be,I could actually sell them around here. Saaayy,how bout we barter? I'll trade you 10...

Wholly molly meet me at Starbucks in Roanoke to plan a capture strategy. I know where there's a whole nest full. ⬇️

Thank you gentlemen,after review I noticed op,Rick and workin are from the Carolinas. That coupled with workin's explaination that you were speaking in dialect prompt's me to retract the notion your posts might be confusing. They might be to others outside your region but in this case op was...

So how do newbees know who or what to believe when conflicting advice is given (and it happens much too often) ?

Collectivly most info so far is good but there's caveats you should be aware of. Your pancake compressor will not support a HVLP gun like that purple Harbot Freight mentioned. I don't think you can succesfully "drill out" orfice of gun. Northern Tool lists orfice size on theirs so I suggest...

Do the TD9 and dump trucks in your sig run or just sit around giving rust places to sleep? You should have already buried it before now to improve soil.

Ask your girl friend to sit in the seat while you test solenoid and remainder of switches. What no girl friend? In that case set a bag of sand in seat or zip tie seat switch in position while you do the testing.

What's this about tires being exclusive to a brand of tractor? Are ya'll saying tire dealers have sections in their warehouse stock for Farmall,a section for John Deere,a section for Kubota and right on down the line for each brand of tractor? I was under the impression that if you call a...

Probably depend's on whether the nuzzle was between his shoulders or under his nightshirt.

For the sake of lawyahoos that might want to sue me for damages encurred years ago,i'm writing this in first person as it was told to me by a man who is unknown to me and has since died. As teens in farming country where you make your own intertainment,we loved pranking the locals. One of my...

Non of us look foward getting hands dirty troubleshooting but it come's down to either trying or taking it to a mechanic . If I had the ability to know which out of dozens of posabilities are responsible with the amount of info furnished,I could become a millionair sitting in my reclainer. I...

I wouldn't call anyone crazy because of how they treat their batteries. I didn't call the guy crazy that claimed to have poured snake oil in crankcase and driven a car 250,000 miles without as much as checking oil,much less changing it but i wouldn't be following his example.

As soon as finished mowing,dis-connect either battery cable. If it starts a few days later when cable is re-connected there's something sucking power while sitting. Come back and we will walk you through finding drain.

You might be on to something when suspecting vapor in carb/fuel line. Try cooling line and carb with wet cloth. Be carful not to wet hot engine parts that might crack. If carb has a vent (which most do) the vent might be stopped up.

Giving you a list of "i had that problem and xx cured it" take's two pages for all possabilities and will do little good so (A) Clean BOTH ENDS of both cables. (B) Find and test main fuse. (C) Get yourself a multimeter and/or test light and start tracing. If it's any comfort,totally dead is far...

We are not talking about a dump trailer here so "that stupid little worthless battery" is ample as long as it take's and hold's charge. I suspect your past batteries were short lived due to being in some state of discharge most of the time. The only thing that kill's batteries worse than sitting...

My choice of impliments are fel and box blade. Get it level enough to mow then tweak it after a few rains/watering.

I remember grandpaw mentioning "copper worms" from his younger days in the 20s. I wonder if those could have ate your pipes.

If you think that's impressive,check this out.

Chains on horizonal 2" pipe stood of wall 18" , 3' above floor. Come-a-longs and ratchet straps on horizonal 2x2 angle iron stood off wall 6" about 1' above chains. Additional small ratchet straps and bungees on 2x2 angle iron stood off wall 2" about 1' above come-a-longs. Ropes and cables on...

I don't intend to discourage diy but the interweb hasn't replaced apprenticing with an experienced mechanic. Every day newbies come here looking for answers that can only be determined with eyes and hands on. When you said above "There was a spark at the + battery terminal when I disconnected...

What is this O-ring pipe you speak of? Never heard of such.

Can you buy,beg,borrow or steal a couple 250 gallon totes and an inexpensive pump to sprinkle the slab? That will get you over the hump until prices drop and/or you locate a good deal on pipe. You could also borrow enough garden hose to temporarly get water to slab.

Considering what starters cost,you must have spent close to $1k on parts so far. You might be money ahead letting a pro fix this rather than continue down the path of diy. If I had a gun to my head and only one guess,I'd say the bendix is locking onto ring gear. Commonly known as locked...

My thoughts exactly.

I'm always more concerned about cold water causing damage to hot components than getting into electronics. I do all my cleaning while engine is cool and never had a problem.

If a person injoy's them as pets ferrets can be trained to hunt. They are actually natural born and highly effecient hunters so the trait only need's to be fostered. The little buggers can really stink when excited but the musk glands are commonly removed. They are very prolific so it's wise...

The exellent resource tomplum furnished is superiour to what most (certainly me) can offer. Accross the board for several years I've found idle jets on all carbs are on the verge of being restrictive and the slightest thing pushes it over the brink of performance. Jet size is held to the...

You guess? Well are you wanting us to just guess at your problem because that's all we can do without at least knowing A. What kind of carb was and what kind is now on there B. Kohler or B&S engine (preferably including model #) C. If you made sure flow isn't restricted from tank to carb D. If...

The only thing you will keep out is the skunk if you try mouse proofing building. Skunks seldom climb so snap traps can be placed up high. Tractor Supply Company sell's good bait by the bucket that isn't offered in small packs. How good is good? I was placing it in outbuildings and stored...

It work's well but must be handled right to prevent problems. There are usually chunks of cured concrete mixed with the washout. Softball size and smaller isn't a problem and larger one's can be extracted while spreading with box blade or landscape rake. As i cautioned earlier,the stuff is...

Evidently you understand the concept of how solenoid functions. That lead's me to ask if you every used a piece of wire to jump from solenoid ground post to engine block (ground) before buying the new solenoid ?

4 forces work in unison to cause poor/intermintent contact on those plugs. #1 Heavy cord moving/wiggling plug which progressivly increasses clearance between contact points. #2 Loose contacts increase resistance and resistance translate's to heat when it come's to electric current #3 Internal...

It does look to be cast but I doubt it's iron. Is it magnetic? Even if the material can be welded,the face will need to be machined flat. Would losing a few .001 off face effect alighment of drive gear? I'd keep looking for the part.

Around 1964 I was headed home after working outdoors in 100f+. Grabbed a cold 6 pack of Bud and back on the road. There was 32 miles between town near where I worked and town near home. I proweled through glove compartment,trunk,under seats and even under hood for a "church key"with no luck...

Don't you just love the dependability of older tractors. I have the 841 with 4sp tranny & 3sp Sherman my brother bought new. It handled all the work on 300 acreas row crop farm until he leased more land and bought a JD 4020 which might be the finest tractor ever built. The last 4020s were...

Select fill is what's "supposed to be" used under slab any time grade change is required. Select fill is sand with just enough non-expansive clay mixed throughout to bind sand togeather. Concrete plant wash out will work but it will be stuck all over tractor and equipment while spreading it.

I don't own one of these but have operated a couple and as I recall the yellow switch next to key is for pto. Is the pto switch what you are refering to as "blade switch"? If so,the safty feature to prevent starter engagement (cranking) while pto is on is likly built in with pto on/off. If...

So far it sound's like there wouldn't be a demand for paying extra to get them. I'm pretty sure the people coming here every day with tractors that refuse to crank and/or run would gladly pay more than what they are worth to be rid of them so they could get back to using their tractors. I'm...

Although I dis-able mine (secret switch only trusted operators know about ;)) I think seat occupied switch is a good idea.

I would argue that operator could be distracted long enough to result in an accident.

According to messages i recieve I have an order ready,banking error,expired warranty ad a dozen other things needing attention daily. Nothing suprise's me today. Consider this if you will. Scamming,phishing and such are attempts to steal right? What usually happen's if you attempt steal...

The definition of "raising a kid" is different depending on who you ask. If your kid is a free grazer, you are a sorry kid raiser.

That would be wise at this point. The cost is minor compared to burning engine up. Let us know what they said about routinly changing water pump. Me thinks that is the problem.

Did you make changes via a link in message or did you go to TBN as usual then make changes? Either way I would delete cookies,trackers,remembered passwords,auto sighn ins and such (make sure you have passwords for other sites and accounts beforehand) then do a scan for trojans and trackers...

Sound's like the guard you have is on tractor,the type everyone is complaing about is on the shaft between tractor and implement. I agree that hoods which cover u-joints at both ends are safe enough and don't interfer with hooking and un-hooking. While I was on my stump earlier I should have...

Look's like it's unanimous that not being able to run pto while tractor is in reverse is a stupid excuse for safty. Also look's like ROPS get's thumbs up. IMO ROPS probably saves more injuries by preventing operator being hit by low limbs than actual roll overs. I thank each of you for your...

More to the point,do you appreciate features that prevent pto operating while tractor is in reverse? IMO tractors,mowers,Z-Turns,backhoes,dozers and other machines are inherently dangerous for operator and anyone in the vecenity while machine is in operation. If one is struck by machine...

And if replacing ground cable doesn't help replace the postive cable because it can do the same as ground cable. If that doesn't make it start replace the ignition switch because switch contacts can be corroded and preventing good contact. If all the afore mentioned checks out replace the...

Have you checked the cable connections? :geek:

Discount tire has always made good on tire warranties. Last one was last November when a tire seperated at 70mph on IH20. I got a good grip on the wheel and manuvered into right lane and took next exit. By the time I found a place to park the tire was flat run and in shreds. Got the pee-wee...

Additional skirt board doen't prevent flooding inside. Besides that,I haven't found decent ground contact material for several years.

92, 100 and 112 horsepower isn't that much difference and easily be the result of different components manufactured by different suppliers to different plants. I seriously doubt they intentionaly detune some models simply to say they added a model to their line. The same thing can be seen in...

Since I bought a 220 volt 200 amp wire welder the ac/dc stick mostly sit's in the corner. I was never able to get suffecient penitration on anything thicker than 10 guage with 120 volt machines. I have aquaintences that stack dimes with their 120 volt welders using gas but I don't trust their...

It is not your imagination,those little maintainers are worth their weight in gold. Quick chargers are death on batterys. If one can't wait long enough for the 1-2 amp charger to recharge a large dead battery,use a 5-10 amp if at all possible to preserve the battery. That's a good price,I'm...

I vote for this.

Rust has stuck clutch plate to flywheel. Do not spray rust buster on it,that will ruin disc. Use a bungee,strap or rope to tie clutch pedal down as if full depressd with foot. Leave it overnight,a few days or month occasionally checking to see if clutch has released. With pedal tied down...

When this happens with fully charged battery the problem is usually one of the safty switches that prevent tractor starting. It's a matter of testing switches and their connectors. Try and find a wireing diagram for your model. It will show all switches. Meanwhile if you urgently need to use...

STOP Do not operate the engine until you check for water pump operation. Feeling lines,radiator and coolant in radiator is a good indicator of heated water not reaching radiator. Replacing water pump is listed under routine maintenance along with oil changes and tire pressures. #1 reason...

The only trees I've removed after having planted them fall under one of two catagories. Fast growing planted at same time near slow growing/long life trees. When perminate tree is large enough to furnish shade,fast growing tree is removed. Then of course some I planted with intent to keep...

You bet I have a tip. Install these. Be sure and get the one with a nipple where a hose can be mounted. I save laundry and milk jugs and fill them as oil drain's. Save's the mess.

I would see if engine degreaser cut's the cresote before power washing. May I suggest solvent wipe down before applying one of the renovation primers that seal back odors and bleed through. Most can be tinted so i would consider tinting recoats if first coat doesn't 100% stop bleed.

Considering an architect did first class on that trailer the cabin is probably nothing short of a work of art.(y)

I wouldn't worry about the tractor being too large for a half acre garden. You won't be able to do much with a tractor of any size once it has been planted. A 2 bottom bedder that can have plows moved narrower and wider is about the only empliment needed. Put ground in tall beds during winter...

For a flywheel I'd call around to mower repair shops to find one from a parted out engine.

As if it wasn't bad enough already the CL help desk will insult you if you contact them. Some days 50% of posts at help desk is vulgar talking **** stars and even they aren't blocked or kicked off. No one will admit it but I recall conversations right here where people said they wouldn't...

Doesn't it have a Yanmar engine? If it does you might see if kit is available as a Yanmar part.

If you've had occasions when you felt the need fo butr larger wire and/or amps,the Ironman sound's like a good choice. If the Lincoln is repairable,it could stay loaded with small soilid wire and gas ready for thin materials while the Ironman does everything else. If the Lincoln turn's out to...

🙂 I thought I was the only one old enough to know what that means but you could be right. Great minds think alike.

USA fruit and vegetable growers are forbidden to use DDT but tons of produce sprayed in Mexico is welcomed every day.

Process of elimination. Until you said it ran with starting fluid,I was almost sure a safty switch or wire was intermitenly making and breaking contact. Will it start now without start fluid? Will it run indefinatly sitting still? Will it run indefinatly at high rpm sitting still? If yes to...

If you seriously want help,stop calling it a Bush Hog.

Look,tighten or replace?

I wondered the same thing then I wondered how all that leverage wasn't lifting rear wheels off ground. New sport called "tractor jousting".
