To the OP. For a smaller lot, you can get away without a tractor. (I'd put myself in that category with only 5 acres) Given this IS a tractor forum, most answers will say "YES ... YOU NEED ONE AND BIGGER IS USUALLY BETTER & SAFER." Realistically, it will make life easier for you ... IF you...

Since I'm not in the market currently, I'm not sure of "used" tractor pricing these days, (or your mechanical skills). In the past, I was able to buy at auction with enough of a discount to more than justify getting more machine/implements even if I had to do some repairs. If the economy takes...

NEED is a relative term. I bought a tractor w/loader after Hurricane Matthew storm clean-up had me assemble two 300ftx4ftx4ft brush piles with nothing more than my PU/ride-on lawnmower/and back (5 acres). Can it be done without a tractor? yes. But it's a LOT easier with a tractor. Makes...

Son of a son of a sailor -- Jimmy Buffet

Not sure on how your primary/secondary are set up, but I could see internal rusting of metal bowls if you aren't diligent about draining any water (and no glass/plastic bowl to see water). Possible failure of filter media if there is rust in the tank/bowls. The critter contamination you...

Word is that HF solid wire is rebranded INE ... not sure what their fluxcore is.

looks like most of those yanmars are sleeved, so in a worst case, you could get the rebuild kit, re-sleeve the cylinders, replace rings, pistons & bearings & be back to new. Head work may be required if the valves were sitting in water. Assuming no Crank/Cam damage that can't be fixed at a...

Try this:

All depends on the prep. Linex is a polyurethane/polyurea, so in theory, it should work/stick forever on a good base. They give a no lift/no peel guarantee on bed liners. You want no oil/grease/wax, a solid base, and enough "tooth" for it to stick. If you have a shop near you, take the truck for...

If Iwas looking for protection vs looks, I'd go ahead & blast/wirewheel/scuff pad everything reachable to eliminate loose scale. Then, I'd use a pump bug sprayer to spray the frame down with ospho/etch &prep or any other phosphoric acid I can find, paying attention to any internal surfaces i...

Ball and Chain -- Janis Joplin w/Big Brother & the Holding Company

Mix some waste oil with the diesel. You'll need to re-apply fairly often, it's messy, frowned upon by DOT's and asphalt parking lots, but it works well. Also relatively cheap.

Not me, but my Dad did both at 86 when he had cataracts fixed. Multifocal lenses & he loves it. Whole life he had astigmatisms/far-sightedness and wore bifocals as long as I remember ... now no glasses for distance or reading. Night vision is better than it was, but at 94, it really ain't great...

Who Do You Love -- Bo Diddley with any number of covers including Doors, Santana, and George Thorogood

Is your parking brake stuck? I'd jack her up & make sure each wheel spins freely in neutral & go from there. If you're only using it in the winter, do they salt the roads where you are? My parking brake started sticking a little after I got flooded by Ian, so I'd start there.

A final thought on gas vs. fluxcore ... you say you'll be doing mainly "thinwall" 1/2 inch square tube. From what I see, 1/2" square standard tubing comes in either 18 or 16 gauge (.048" or .064"), so I'm assuming you are doing 18 gauge. Fluxcore won't be available in thinner than .030" wire...

The one issue with fluxcore that i have found on really thin stuff is that it burns hotter, & winds up burning through easier. The extra heat & slower fill due to hollow wire helps on structural stuff but winds up being too much for sheet metal. Warps and burns through. Try it, but be prepared...

If it was me, I'd keep the Stick, & get a decent multi-volt for the Mig. Key issue will be your duty cycle & weight. My hobart 210 mvp is more capable on thicker metal than my 120 volt Lincoln 140 MP, but it has tap settings vs infinite adjustment and a lower duty cycle. It also weighs about...

I picked up a Mahindra branded PHD at auction for $300 about six years ago (about 150 less than TSC county Line at the time) in looking at the two, the only difference I found was the color of the paint. both were round drive/no slip clutch & identical gear boxes. Got augers at TSC & no...

steam cleaner/kerosene wash/brake cleaner/let it dry completely then use a mr. funnel until you are sure the fuel is coming out clean. alternatively, $20 for a new jug and $13 for ez-pour vents @ TSC.

What RjCorazza said. Hard to beat racor. 200 series should be plenty of flow. Also, if you do find algae ... biobor. How are you adding fuel? 5 gal jugs or storage tank. If tank, add a racor or goldenrod to the fill pump flow. If 5 gal jugs, mr. Funnel.

Heartbreak Hotel -- Elvis Presley

Frozen blow off valve? Or plugged/frozen crankcase breather? How warm is the engine? Normally, I'd suspect rings, but not at 24 hours. What viscosity oil are you running? May need 5-40 instead of 15-40 to flow in that cold & seal the cylinders?

Have you got power to the sending unit in the tank? If yes, it could be a bad resistor or float in the sending unit. If no, keep tracing back. Everything still attached at the key switch?

a quick google search on "nx5010 hst problems" came back with a bunch of links both here & on tractorforum, some say programming/some say electrical & at least one link says something about a recall on NX series

If you find critters in the tank/lines ... change out the fuel/blow out the lines & clean the tank Then figure you'll go through a bunch of fuel filters as whatever's left continues to plug your filters.

Check the tank for algae blocking the pickup. Did you change out the fuel filter? how did it look? If you have good fuel flow to the injector pump, then the pump may need rebuilding/replacement. Why has she sat for a couple years?

Every creature on earth marks its territory & will eliminate all rivals/threats within that territory (or they lose the fight & go off to die alone). Why should Man/**** Sapien play "beta" to any other creature after having won the genetic competition to assert our place at the top of the food...

My dogs do a pretty good job of keeping nuisance critters away. Not too many beaver in FL (at least not the type I want to keep away), but armadillo & raccoons can get pretty destructive. The dogs will kill & eat some of them, chase the rest away. Raccoons usually take two dogs to avoid a vet...

dealt with USAA from the other side. I had a fence taken out by a USAA insured driver who passed out after giving blood for COVID antibodies & they nickel & dimed me on everything.

Damn ... have you figured out the cause? Might make a difference in the claim.

Don't know about the Vevors, but I have an older (bigger) Espar unit in my boat. Great heat output, but be careful of the exhaust routing as my original burned through due to alignment issues. I'd also be leery of material quality & maybe invest in a CO monitor if pointing towards face. The...

I don't know that machine, but from a quick search on the engine (188D) it shows 4 "heat" plugs in the intake & a heat plug troubleshooter. If you only run this in the winter, could it be a bad relay/short/mouse issue? If you're getting compression & fuel only thing left in my mind is heat...

Find someone that makes custom boat covers. They can set you up in sunbrella with a 2 or 3 piece cover that attaches to the tractor pretty easy. If you or your wife is handy with a sewing machine, it's a diy project. key areas to watch out for: Chafe protection -- both to protect the cover &...

I remember about 45 years ago making "infrared propane paint strippers" in pretty much the same way in Cleveland. Lots of sliced gloves/fingers from the tin. We got paid on piecework basis, so no one slowed down much even when bleeding. Pretty crappy job as I look back on it.

Use whatever the manual Specs for it. Given the potential for different metals in the cooling system, you dont want something in the coolant that reacts badly or sets up galvanic reactions. My 2 cents.

No experience with pellet stove, BUT when PG&E started doing their rolling "safety" black-outs I wound up getting an Outback Radian inverter backup for my freezer, servers and router. I split time between CA and FL, with work in CA, so blackouts were causing me all kinds of grief with remote...

If all you want is to separate out the roots & bigger chunks, you could probably fab up a frame & expanded metal grate sized to fit over your trailer. Or put it on wheels and leave a trail of tailings as you move it, then come back to collect everything afterwards. If you need the vibration...

Guess he slept through the "Mechanical" engineering classes. Still ... degree or no degree, I don't think I'd want to spend much time UNDER a bridge he designed given the lack of common sense.

Ditto on Ospho, problem with painting metal is no tooth and contraction/expansion from heat changes. I'd go with a paint for metal (auto/implement/etc.) not latex or something made for wood/gypsum. Do the Ospho treatment, rub down the good areas with a green scratch pad to dull it & give it...

Quart of tranny fluid or kerosene was my go-to for crankcase sludge/crud back in the 70's when I'd get an oil change on something that was WAY overdue. BUT ... like Jstpssng said, short run then drain & change filter. Sometimes it worked ... other times it simply eased the engine's passing to...

Make your own. All that's involved is line & knots. Relatively easy (albeit tedious) process. A roll of line (paracord, dyneema, kevlar, 1/4 inch nylon or dacron, whatever), a knotting needle, sizing card and a few hours & you are there. Can add a stronger border line from something like...

I would think it depends on the state and their tax policies also. In Ohio, used to be that "inventory taxes" were due in February based on 12/31 or 1/15 inventory value, so lots of businesses wanted to eliminate any inventory by the valuation date (remember post-Christmas Sales "Everything MUST...

Saw a number of hydraulic repairs on "Deadliest Catch" using the field repair ends. Definitely looks like a good strategy vs crimper option, especially since 1. Ends are reusable, 2. More expensive fittings, but indefinite life (cry once), 3. Can acquire over time as needed, then have for life...

Sounds like you have the solution with diesel. If you want it dissolved quicker/before mixing, maybe some turpentine?

How's the air filter?

If you have coolant in the cylinder, it's the head gasket or a crack. White smoke is water, the oily exhaust could be from that cylinder running too cool to burn your diesel due to coolant contamination. Any oil in the coolant? Coolant in oil? Is the back cylinder (the one you hydro-locked) the...

I wouldn't even think of that until I had her stable on the ground over her length. Is the butt still attached to the root ball? if not, can you trim the top & one side then roll it onto that side with the winch? At least she should drop some to where you could walk out without being too high...

How high up is the trunk where it crosses onto your property? I might try getting on top there (ladder or FEL) with a chain & limber & walking up towards tip as far as I could while it still felt stable. At least you're cutting "in the way branches" that aren't holding it up & you'll get a...

Had some tony lamas elephant skin I wore for close to 30 years. Shafts never gave me an issue & the uppers were (almost) indestructible ... resoled them 5 or 6 times/reheeled probably twice that. Finally, the elephant uppers split across the top of my toes right where the shift pedal on my...

Already ordered & should be in a position to install it & actually get some hurricane clean-up going tomorrow.

I've used the two part systems on boat decks. Basically it's wet things down, apply the oxalic acid & work it gently against the grain with a soft(ish) nylon brush keeping the area you're cleaning wetted out, or the acid can cause uneven bleaching. Let the chemical do the work & float out the...

Oxalic acid to clean/bleach. Will eat out weaker wood, so brush against the grain, or you can wind up with valleys in the grain. Also be careful with the PW for the same reasons. Thompsons waterseal clear. Linseed will darken over time -- especially with UV exposure.

Thanks. Bit of an update ... seems the original starter was underpowered as the specs went from 1.7 kw to 2.0 kw to 2.2 kw. So ... yeah, superceded numbers. Also ... appears this is a supply chain issue as well, as there is a back-order on the new part number at NH & limited availability...

Reminds me of the old joke about "how are fat girls and mopeds the same?" ... You might have fun riding either one but you wouldn't want your friends seeing you on one.

Anyone replaced one yet? LS seems to have changed (superceded) a bunch of part numbers related to the L3C19-T. I can't find a local dealer (within 60 miles) that returns phone calls. Either need a dealer that stocks 40333447 or its replacement, or the right cross reference to NH or Case. NH has...

One of the funniest lines I remember from a movie was in the original "Highlander" when Christopher Lambert describes what haggis is to Sean Connery. A frenchman telling a scotsman about haggis struck me as incredibly funny.

How high a rpm do you usually run at? Carbon build up in the exhaust tends to come from incomplete burn. Low rpm could be keeping the turbo from spinning up, resulting in too little air for the fuel being injected. How often was regen kicking in? Try running at higher rpms (2k+), even if you...

If you have a good "parts" guy, he can cross reference & find one that will work. Was much more common in the 70's, but there are still a few old school guys around that will do more than look up a vin number & say that they don't stock the part. Try a NAPA unless you have an old hot rodder...

NO AC on mine, BUT ... Per my service manual (4100 series), field coil resistance should be between 3-3.5 ohms. The troubleshooting guide (see attached) indicates a field coil short outside that range, & recommends replacing the compressor. Do you have a shop manual for your 4000 series to...

You sure it's a ground and not a hot wire? Ground to ground won't cause a short, but hot to ground will. Were the rubbed wires intact? Lose to much copper & it could cause resistance/voltage drop issues that increase amperage & blow fuses. I'd run the chafed wire, see if there are other damaged...

One thing to keep in mind. If you have the LL4106 Loader, it can lift 2680 to full height (at the pin). Any weight you have in the actual implement (regular bucket/rock bucket/grapple/etc.) takes away from your "load" capacity. Also, the loader weighs about 800 lbs empty vs 4k on the tractor...

I've used the HF sticks. OK ... a little more erratic than Lincolns & the flux (7018) doesn't peel as easily. Probably because of the humidity down here. Better when they are stored bone dry. The HF 6010's don't seem as violent as the Lincoln/Hobart, but penetration seems to be equivalent...

School taxes would be fine, if they did what the original intent was ... educate an "employable" workforce. Today, public schools teach kids everything except what it takes to be employable, consequently, funding needs to be cut until they get back to training an employable workforce.

Ditto on checking the air intake/filter & running the harness(es). Check the MAF sensor while there & it wouldn't hurt to spray it with MAF/carb cleaner. Possible your chafed wires have a short between light circuit/EGR/MAF somewhere else in the harness? Check all your connectors for...

Add one?

Check your wiring runs for burnt/chafed insulation or something else causing an intermittent short. Maybe along/near the loader frame or front axle? I had a similar intermittent problem on a boat, would occasionally not start, & I found a wire running too near the exhaust. repaired the...

The filter housings you found are probably chinese knock offs of oem. Could be identical, could be crap. They are probably fine (better than nothing). Key is use real oem or raycor aqua bloc filter media. Line fittings tend to be standardized, based on tube diameter, but you don't know what's in...

West Marine or Defender might have some roll/tip topside paints you can check out. Those face similar chemical exposures as tractors with salt water tossed in. Best results will always be spray, but for the same safety concerns, many diy boaters will opt for roll tip paint.

Amazon sells lengths of pure copper welding wire too, but price seems about 50% higher than when I bought mine in January. My neighbor's an electrical contractor & he ran underground conduit to his new shop 9 months ago, but hasn't pulled wire yet due to the cost of copper. If you can make due...

First thing to fix. Throw on something cheap/temporary (if you wind up deciding to sell after your mechanic looks her over) ... you can always upgrade the filtration if you decide to keep her. If that's the quality of prior "repairs", you'll want to go over every inch of the tractor to prevent...

Got to agree on the pallet forks. Amazed how often I use mine, even with a grapple and bucket. I even use it for pallets. If you're already plumbing the Hydraulics for a grapple, you can add a hydraulic thumb to the forks as well & have a good light grapple for bulky brush. Good BB and a...

:unsure: With your screen name, I figured you for either an "Aronson", or an "Aaron", so a lucky guess on my part.

Name?

Go daddy is pretty good about help,once you set up an account, others, not so much. The process isn't too difficult, but will vary with the provider. General rule ... if its free, you're on your own. If you pay, they will be more customer oriented.

Another option is get your own domain name & set up e-mail there instead of g-mail. ISP is immaterial then and as long as you keep the domain, you have the e-mail. I use GoDaddy, but there are others. A forward on the old account to the new e-mail box (and/or change of e-mail auto...

I look at it like filtration (or insurance). CAN I run a tractor (or any other diesel) w/o fuel filters? Sure, assuming clean tank/clean fuel/no possibility of water/condensation/rust/dust/or any other contamination getting in between oil refinery and my injector or fuel pump. Would I do it...

At the same time, I see the same knife advertised for 1/2 that on Amazon & Knife Depot, so it makes me wonder if the cheaper ones are knock-offs (counterfeits from a country not to be mentioned) or if the higher priced ones are just trying to make better profits at our expense. I have my...

maybe he's on page 455 of the "Flail Nation" thread

Hot pastrami & swiss on light rye (as long as there is fat in the pastrami), good cuban sandwich (40 years+) since I had a really good one, hot italian sausage with grilled onions/peppers cheese & sauce. Real philly cheese steak. bbq brisket from the point, anything meaty with bacon & cheese.

Check marine stores/commercial fishing supplies/or walk the docks & talk to the commercial guys (may cost you at the bar ... but you'll get some good stories). No one operates diesels on the ocean without some sort of biocide given how the tank vents are plumbed (open 5/8 lines to an outboard...

If you get the Shop/Service Manual, it should take you through removing the dash/steering/etc. Same thing that your dealer's mechanics use. Can your dealer order that for you? Or download to a thumb drive, & you print out the pdf at home. Mice can wreak all kinds of havoc. good luck.

If you're sure you'll never dig another hole again after this job, you could probably rent a small mini ex ($300/day around me) + fuel & transport & be done with it. More than 2 rentals, & owning the PHD makes more sense. I've got both & for some jobs I prefer the Mini for others I like the PHD.

Figure on losing 1/3 to 1/5 the GVWR for the weight of the trailer itself vs what you expect to haul. My equipment trailer from these guys hasn't given me any problems yet. Don't know where you are, but they are in NC (and I think NE too) if you want to pick it up yourself to save on delivery...

Any updates? Did filters do the trick, or did sensors need replacement?

How long are your 5 gal jugs sitting? If you empty/refill them regularly & burn the fuel through your engine, keep the tractor tank topped off when it sits, are using good clean fuel from a high volume (turnover) source, & don't go through a lot of dewpoint cycles, you should be fine. If the...

You could also try one of these, but be ready for bruised ribs sore arms & back. https://www.harborfreight.com/gas-powered-earth-auger-56257.html?_br_psugg_q=post+hole+digger

Try the clamshell digger like MossRoad said, you'll want one any way if you ever dig holes deep. AgriSupply also has 3pt PHDs, & augers look the same but cheaper than TSC. Not sure about your ground, but the cutters on the augers help loads with tree roots as long as you drop slow & don't...

yup. The auger is the working end that hits rocks/roots/etc. & TSC's version has replaceable bolt on tips. The rest is simply a gearbox on a boom & drive shaft connected to PTO & 3 pt attachment frame to mount on the tractor for lifting/dropping.

I did need the handheld digger, as well, to clean out loose dirt in the bottom of the holes, as the auger will drop some back in. probably doesn't matter for bushes, but I was setting in concrete & wanted clean holes.

The augers are fine. I have 6/9/and 12 inch from them, no problems. Can't speak to the 3 pt PHD. Didn't need it, as I picked up a new Mahindra version (old stock in original crate) @ auction for 1/2 what TSC wanted a few years ago. Other than Paint, the Mahindra doesn't look any different...

Golf cart canopy attached to the rops, then soft cab "walls" made of clear vinyl and sunbrella or duck canvas. Lots of marine attachment systems that can work on a tractor. Won't be heated, but will keep wind & snow off you. Anyone that sews dodgers or boat covers could do it pretty quick, &...

Tractor supply has county line phd for less than 600. Add another 150-190 per auger depending on size.

Yeah, they overpaid for KMart, thinking the land value would bail them out, then to pay down the debt for the purchase price they lowered quality thinking they'd bring in more revenue, instead they drove Sears customers away & the KMart Shoppers thought everything was too expensive even as price...

Messick's? might be able to find you something that works, but if it isn't exact match, you may need to replace all the wheels. Probably, helpful if you have the parts manual & can give them the original part number. Failing that, get relevant measurements & they can probably find something...

Any wires/harnesses or linkages look out of place or susceptible to damage? By "removing old stumps from a ditch with loader bucket", were you loader down/rear up perpendicular to the ditch? Maybe you cut into your ground clearance mid-frame & moved/rubbed/dislodged something or loosened a...
