Do you (at least sometimes) indicate so? I mean, I can understand Lying - how many billions of $$$ hav been roasted under said

I expect to be in that area in the next 5 years or so. If you're willing to wait, and remind me no more than once every two years - sure!

Does it include the bag?

In (presumably) capitalistic environments such as the USA and Canada, supply and demand determine prices. So it would not surprise me in the least if people started confusing lumber with hammers, when the cost of a barely serviceable 2x4x8 exceeds the cost of a 16 oz ball-peen. Mostly unrelated...

Is that good or bad? Isn't that the state where you have to show me?

The converse is also true - You can't time fence and you can't love stop. So it must be true.

Sometimes the silver lining is actually solid gold! "Homeless" in a 25 mil complex. Must be nice.

Yes, I DID know that. Exception proves the rule, I guess. Though I did never know why. Kinda surprised I ignored the advice as a matter of principle, as I tend to be a raging nonconformist.

OK, this may be slightly off topic, but it is about a barn and retirement, and I didn't see a better place to post it. Especially considering there are what seems to be several pretty widely rounded and smart fellers regularly contributing to this thread. I hope to retire within about 5 years...

On any screw valve I have always opened all the way, then turned back 1/8 to 1/4 turn. I was told (long ago, by my late father-in-law, who learned whatever he did in the 50s and 60s) that this is the way to do it. IIRC it was so that the back of the seat couldn't corrode to the body (like when...

I realize the above response was about a lathe, but. We have an old (OK, not REAL OLD, about 40 years) Delta or maybe Rockwell drill press. There are three sets of sheaves, with RPM capability of something like 200-5,000 (may be a bit of exaggeration there, just going off memory from maybe 10...

You don't have a scale built into your forklift? Or you just haven't bothered to weigh it?

Ever hear of Moore's Law? Over 50 years old, and while maybe not technically holding, for all practical purposes, still valid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore%27s_law

My son bought an old M-F TLB. He used it a bit, but it ended up having a fairly significant leak from the rear main seal. And it was a huge job to replace (pull and split block). I don't remember the exact numbers, but roughly, he listed it for $4000. A guy came and looked at it and offered...

I'm sorry but I may have to block you. It seems that you use the debilitating concept of LOGIC which has apparently been banned in most commonly accepted norms.

Some days you impress me. But I'm disappointed you didn't do that with a coping saw, hand file, hammer and a forge. Oh, and did you mine that ore, or did you use pre-fab sheet stock? You ARE retired, right? What else do you have to do?

I would guess: If it ain't broke, don't "fix" it.

100 years ago (OK, 20-30 years ago even) that "trick" might have worked. But today, ain't nobody paying $20k for a $15k anything.

I don't remember all the exact numbers, but. Last year we decided that it was time to "trade in" our 15 year old box truck. We had had several multi-thousand dollar repair bills over the previous 2-3 years. After a lot of searching and researching we found what seemed to be what we were...

Another option, if you have the cash, is to do the financing at any percentage to get the best rebate, then pay the loan off the day after you drive off the lot. Sure, they may get you for a few days' interest, but even at an outrageous 8%, a full weeks' worth of interest is only about $75 on...

You don't have a CNC plasma cutter? Or just not worth the programming time?

It's the age-old supply-and-demand situation. Building supplies are up 50-200% in the last year. Finally trickling down to finish-grade hardwoods - Hard Maple and Poplar went up 50-100% in 2 weeks. Thankfully, I had confirmed POs in November for 5 T/Ls of HM at 2150. More thankfully, the mill...

My recollection is that in commercial use they have an expiration date no matter how well they've been maintained. I do know that every year or two our fire safety company says "This, that and the other one need to be replaced". My guess is that there's a possibility of hidden damage (rust...

You could probably find that out just as easily as me. But maybe you could explain how it's relevant.

Restoring a vice is something best left to those with a clerical collar, or equivalent. Of course, Terry probably has one of those.

I could not, at this moment lay claim to ONE ball peen hammer. I know that, at one point, I did have a moderately large (24 oz or so?) one with a blue fiberglas handle, But I don't know where it is now. Could be in one of my toolboxes, scattered over a 10 mile radius. That said, what's the big...

Did you read the myth? Not saying it WILL do harm, but they point out the possible negative points, and claim ZERO benefit to whacking a portable fire ext. But one of the great things about the USoA is that you can mostly do what you want. Of course, if your building burns down and you used a...

My BIL recently bought 8 vehicles from an estate sale. Of which there is one Lambretta and two Vespas which have been suggested as being open for sale. My wife is like flies on rice for at least one, possibly two (so she can ride "with" me in my Porsche?!!).

I'm sorry, but (and this is just my opinion) but the answer (unless it's mathematic) ALWAYS is dependent on "what do you want to do?. Q: What's the best snowblower? A: The B9200TSA. It will clear up to 4' of compacted snow on a 10' wide path at approx 8 MPH with just 500 HP. Q: So this will be...

If you are installing an LEF fixture, then most likely, yes - when it fails you replace the entire fixture. As for upfitting existing fluorescent fixtures, there is nothing to fail* other than the "tube". They run entirely 110/20v. *If you've removed the ballast, then if/when the tube fails...

The ballast will eventually die and you will need to remove/bypass it. So its just a matter of whether you do it now or later. As to current draw (haven't read far enough through the thread to see if anyone answered this definitively, but) I believe that you do lose a little running through the...

I suppose. But I would not purposely eat either variety. Strawberries with manure would rank at a -10 whereas strawberries with whipped cream might, on a good day, eek out a -9 (on a scale where 0 is unpalatable, -10 is inedible and +10 is nirvana)

By the way, other good things with the upgrade. One I LOVE is the "Good Post" option. SOOOO many times I have just wanted to say "Yup" but didn't want to actually make a post. This is a Great Addition.

If you're in business, in the US (I realize you're North of the Border but assume that as a relatively civilized country you have similar regulations in place) damaged electrical cords (like ANY occupational or health violation) can result in a fine up to $70,000. Lowly civilians can use a lamp...

By the way, not saying the New is worse than the Old, but without an owner's manual it's been really, really difficult to navigate.

I consider myself pretty tech-savvy, and most of my friends consider me their first-line of defense in regards to things composed solely of 1s and 0s. Before the recent "upgrade" you could click on "My Home" (or something like that, don't remember - it was right at the top/center of every...

After some trouble this last storm I decided I may as well capitalize on the money I had already spent on studded Euro-style chains and the spacers required to give the needed clearance. Used the supplied rope and instructions. Granted, these are relatively small tires (12.4-16) but it went...

OK, slightly back on topic... My brother is an OTR trucker and sent me the following pic this morning with the text "Fluffy gold?" Took me a few minutes. I was looking for something called that on the BOL.

I am considering buying a GR2000. The seller states "Has a problem with the mower engaging.". At first I assumed it would have to be a relatively easy fix, even if it meant replacing the clutch. But then I discovered it's actually a hydraulic PTO which causes me great concern. Any owners on...

So far I've only used my B3030 Cab twice in the winter. Both times the inside of all the windows steamed up really bad. I ended up opening the two small side/rear windows and that helped a bit. It was almost like it was on "Recirc" - is there such a thing, and how do I turn it off?

Only thing I can think is that I must not have had the handle popped back into the holder, and it got snagged on something when lifting the 3pt. I thought I would take it apart and get it ready to replace the broken casting. But, I couldn't get it apart: the lower threaded part seems to hit a...

I grooved all four of my tires. I have nothing to compare it to - I didn't see the point of struggling for a winter and then adding the grooves to see how much better it would be. The grooving itself went OK. It was near freezing and a bit windy. I can imagine it being quite a bit easier on a...

On my Kubota B3030 with front snowblower & hydraulic chute rotation. Hooked hydraulics up according to color coding (this is new to me this year). Rotates left but not right. Trying to turn right, you can see the hose jump a little bit as if it's getting pressurized. Swapped lines (at the...

On my Massey, there are three positions on the PTO engagement, including one where the output shaft will turn freely. So far I have been unsuccessful in figuring out if there is some way to do the same on my B3030. Makes it very difficult lining them up on some equipment.

I recall seeing a bunch of people complaining about the performance of Kubotas at low RPM. It may well have been regarding the BX series, as my my most recent tractor was a M-F GC series, which is a BX sized unit, so that's the direction a lot of my research went. I have to say I have been...

I recently bought my B3030. I asked the previous owner if the tires were loaded and he said No. Since I estimated the filled tires would weigh about 400# and my only loader is the one on the tractor in question, and I knew that Pete's Tire Barn does on-site loading I called and made an...

I recently sold a job to a guy who is a PJ Trailer rep. He told me he'd give me wholesale pricing on a trailer, so that seems attractive. Their promo material sounds great (as expected!). Any real world feedback out there? FWIW, I would be looking for a trailer that could handle my Kubota...

I just bought a B3030 with traditional pin-on FEL. Is it feasible to convert to QA, or are the loader arms completely different? I'd like to be able to use QA Forks and a Grapple, if not other things in the future.

I bought the entry level Ferris S400 this spring for mowing our fairly hilly 1.5 acre or so "lawn" area. I love the cut, the speed and the maneuverability, but the traction (negative traction?) going downhill is near ridiculous. The only way to go down our steeper slopes is to start at a crawl...

I may have posted this upthread, but since I see more comments about screws/studs I'll post again. We bought screw-in carbide tipped studs for our forklift. We got the #1200 because we do use it inside on concrete. The only protrude about 1/32" but make an incredible difference in the snow...

I've recently (this past winter) acquired a new property that requires mowing. I've been using my Land Pride 1660 finish mower to try and get it into better shape. As I understand, it was "bush hogged" once a year previously. I'd like to make it a little more grass-like and a little less...

It does seem to be very similar to the M-F 1433. TractorData has some differences but I'm not sure how accurate that site is. 786 hours. Without the cab... and snowblower? Kind of assuming that tractor mounted snowblowers are a rarity in SC. New, an aftermarket cab and front mount snowblower...

I'm finding my GC2300 a bit small for our new property. That, in combination with discovering I should have bought a tractor with a loader, is prompting me to look for a "new" tractor. Current expected purposes: *Blow snow (primary use) *Mow/cut about 8 acres of field (primary use) Till garden...

It seems to me that as long as the system is properly set up, there should be no change in angle regardless of the height difference between Input and Output. And it seems to me that this would be one of the primary motivators for a slip joint in the PTO shaft - to allow the length to change as...

I recently bought a used Land Pride FDR1660 finish mower. It seems to operate nice when relatively flat, but if you lift the deck while it's operating, or go into a bit of a gulley that lifts it on the 3pt it makes a noise/feeling that something isn't right. It's not real lout, but kind of a...

Turns out it wasn't the quick-connect coupler o-rings on my GC2300 that were leaking after all, it's the "curl" spool (left side in pic below). Strange thing is that it's not used on this tractor and doesn't seem to even be set up to actually even work on this valve. Notice the short cap - you...

I had a small leak in my valve so I took out the fittings and replaces the O-Rings, and forgot to note which one went where... Of course it doesn't really matter which one goes where, but if the color coding from the zip ties is going to be helpful, it does make a difference. Someone have a...

One of my strategies for the new property I've recently bought is a MMM for my GC2300. They (as expected) seem to be a bit rare on the aftermarket, but I thought if I knew the model number it may help me nail one down. This would be for a GC2300 model, 2006 if it makes a difference. Please...

Well they must have made a change from 2006-2007. Or maybe yours is a late 2007 and they were already changing for the new model 24xx series in 2008. This is my 2006, and it functions in the same manner as posted: Strange to think it may have been discontinued for just a few years, as the...

This is not the PTO selection lever (of which there are two - one each for front and rear, nearest the left side), but the Engage lever (closest to operator). My 2300 is a 2006, so if yours doesn't have that feature it would mean they took it out, which seems odd, especially in the middle of a...

I tried it out today and love it. While I don't go any faster going forward while blowing, it's awesome to back up at max speed, as well as going forward faster during repositioning. I never felt short on power - is there any reason to not do this?

I replaced the cutting edge on my 2360 snowblower yesterday and found some major rust! Thankfully I have a plasma cutter and both MIG and TIG welders at my disposal. But I will probably wait until Summer to make sure I have time between use so I can take the auger and impeller out, and in...

Well I wasn't impressed by the FluidFilm. I wouldn't say it was worse, but not appreciably better. My lights and the UHMW chute liner, OTOH, were worth the effort.

Is is possible? How? I have coolant leak and want to just push it into the garage but can't get it to move.

On my 2300's front mount snowblower there is a gearbox to slow the pto speed for the horizontal auger. There is what appears to be a grease/Zerk fitting in the top, but it is unusable - looks like it's been ground down a bit. However, when I removed it, it doesn't really look like grease in...

I bought this tractor with the snowblower already attached. I've done some searching but can't figure out how to get it off. I do know that you have to remove the front shaft first, because the clevis pin can't be released with the shaft in the way. It feels like there might be a pin/button on...

When I turn the Left turn signal on, it blinks, and the Right one comes on steady. When I turn the Right turn signal on, it blinks, and the Left one comes on steady. Is this normal operation, or do I have a wiring problem?

From all I can see, the only difference is power output. Anyone figured out what changes they made to generate the additional 2.5HP and try it? I'm guessing injectors and/or pump pressure. Seems like it should be relatively easy to add over 10% if the basic mechanicals are the same.

Planning to line my chute with it, as well as make the chute rotation holddowns out of it. McMaster does sell a "Ultra Weather Resistance" variation, but the thinnest it comes in is 1/4" which I just is too thick for the chute lining(I was thinking 1/8", which is available with an adhesive...
