The answer is 3. If circle B is looked at like a "clock" then circle A starts at the 12 o clock position and completes one revolution around circle B at the "4 o clock position, and then circle A completes two revolutions at the 8 o clock position, and then circle A then completes the third...

Both of my bottles are "D" size, 7" diameter x 43" tall x 125 cubic feet of gas each bottle. I use 75% Argon/25% Carbon Dioxide for MIG and 100% Argon for TIG. My gas supplier is 60 miles away and always has this size in stock for a quick exchange for a full bottle. They seem to fit good for...

Had about 10" of snowfall the last 2 days and Springtime is on the way! Watched the neighbors dog yesterday, see picture, and cleared their driveway also. I didn't install my 4 tire chains this winter and with my 50% wore out tires, I had to push their snow down the driveway and not up the...

I've had a Sims Indy Cab with their heater since 2009. The MF dealer offered to install the heater from the roof in the front right side of the cab. This would give me more room in the cab since the OEM location was to the left of the steering wheel. My heater has a 2 speed fan and I am very...

Congratulations on your new Massey, how about some pictures of it clean or dirty (tractor) will be ok. KC

Well, "Winter Storm Olive" seems to have run out of gas. Instead of another 18" of snow they are now forecasting 8". Starting tonight we should have temperatures of -15F - -20F for the next 3 days. I almost installed the MF snowblower, but cleared yesterdays snow with the MF Dozer Blade. My...

Around here we use Folgers Half n' Half & same amount of MT Huckleberry... Use to make coffee only with Huckleberry, but over time kind of lost that good taste of it, too much of a good thing I guess... I drink coffee most of the daylight hours, and in the summer I add ice. KC

Just don't turn the bottle over because it will leak out thru the cork... Ha, KC

Yes, just one of those things, only way out was to back out. The quick hitch was what was high centered on an iceberg... Sugar, unpackable snow was under the 4 tires and it was just a very slightly uphill climb to back out. By "one of those things", I mean OLD... KC

I plowed about 8" of new snowfall and widened the driveway in a few areas since the berms are about 3' tall and we are suppose to get 3' of new snowfall by Wednesday. Hate to admit this but I managed to get the Massey stuck in the sugarery snow high centered on some ice. It was about 9pm so I...

Today I filled up my 2 portable containers with #1 Winter blend Offroad diesel. I could not find any information on the pump nor the staff inside about what temperature rating this fuel is good for. If I can remember correctly, I asked a few years ago and I'm thinking it's good for -25F to/or...

During the winter I use "#1 blended winter offroad diesel" with the additive Power Service. During the summer I use "#2 offroad diesel" with the additive Power Service, just for extra lubrication. We just finished up with 3 days of over -20F + and the tractor is stored in an unheated garage...

Here's a couple of pics of our wet and heavy snowfall of Friday and Saturday, 10-12" ended up looking like 8". I still have the MF 2340 Dozer Blade on the tractor, and I was making and pushing "icebergs" clearing the driveway. It was -25F this morning and tonight is supposed to be colder. KC

Fatwood for the last 3 years and forever... KC

Yes, my OEM battery was just like your, a very good/strong battery. But in 2018 (I think) I decided to change it out before the winter so that I would not be jumping the battery. I started using a trickle charger on it a year or two before since I drained the battery a few time during the...

I have one of these small inspector type flashlights in my shirt pocket that I use to view the sight glass. Maybe this is the reason these tired eyes can tell the difference between fluid/no fluid...

Over the many years of my GC ownership, I've been able to tell the difference between hydo/trans fluid in the sight glass and an empty sight glass that has no fluid. My Amsoil show up real good for me. I remember in the early years it was difficult for me to determine. KC

This is how I get generator power when the lights go out. During winter my generator sits outside under my covered deck at the end of the house with battery tender, and ground rod hooked up. The generator cord is also already hooked up to the generator and the house. First: I go inside...

irvingj, Do you have the OEM battery with the "green" sight glass? KC

As I recall, it's been over a decade, in your lower picture showing the plug, the top one is your ground (green wire), the bottom one is your neutral (white), and the right and left side are your line 1 and line 2 (black and red wire). Hope this helps, maybe the sparkys can help you out with a...

When we purchased our home the generator plugged into a female outlet plug with one of those "kill cords". I replaced the plug with this one and a standard generator cord...

Purchased mine in 2018 for either $110 or $130, can't remember. Online purchase has a 10% coupon discount which comes to $148.50 (includes core). No sales tax in Montana. The CCA is more than OEM battery. KC

This is the battery I purchsed a few years ago to replace the OEM battery...

Snowplowed about 8" new snow yesterday and my squealing tachometer was fixed !! I'm guessing climate change, a.k.a. global warming was the reason for the quick fix. It warmed up to 20F yesterday. Merry Christmas to all, KC

Thanks for providing this valuable information. It was about -28F yesterday when this "squealing" started. My next step, an easy one seems to be trying my heat gun to warm up the gear assembly before starting the tractor. I really don't see myself changing out the existing cable with a new...

My tachometer just started squealing yesterday while plowing, happening for the first time as I can remember. Has anyone tried to grease the upper gear assembly with success? If so what grease did you use. I found an You Tube Video (Twin Brook Acres) that claims this solves the problem...

The early morning news said it was -44. So glad it was warmer at my place, -38... KC

How is this cold going to affect you? Most of us are going to get the Arctic Blast today/tomorrow/next day/s. It's -20F now and snowing, and tonight is forecasted to be -42 with 14mph winds, really don't care what the "wind chill factor" is... And more snow they say. I hope everyone does...

Not much going on here but was told this last October was the warmest on record and this November was the 3rd coldest on record. First 8" of snowfall was the first week of November and since then I've plowed 2 times. Already burned 1.5 cord of firewood this season. Here's a picture from...

irvingj, I'm glad you were successful repairing your fuel line. I repaired mine a few years ago and dug up an old (2017) thread started by pixguy. If it helps others, about my repair, here's the thread: Oil & Fuel - Damaged fuel line on MF2410

My brush forks are only attached to the FEL bucket with 6, 1/4"-20 grade 8 bolts with Nylock nuts (3 in each side). Original thoughts were, if these failed, I would replace the bolting with 3/8" grade 8 bolts. Still using the same 1/4" bolts. KC

This is the set of brush forks I built about 12 years ago and then added 3/4" plywood on top with a hinge so it folds up vertical against the fixed headache part. This setup has served me well moving firewood into the woodshed. KC

Glad you fixed your hydraulic leak. It appears your leak might have been at the boom hydraulic cylinder. My leaking hose was at the top of the boom (inside) where the hose makes a 180 degree turn and then comes back toward the backhoe controls. KC

Pryo, Hmm...? My bi annual burning of slash from my trees and property has nothing to do with pleasure of starting/watching fire! It is a chore that I've slashed my time invested in to a minimum. All of us posting here have survived many stressful and life threatening experiences. In Montana...

I know what you mean about burning progressing on the property. I started by burning all of the tree branches in a 3' diameter fire ring, it took for ever but I enjoyed the process for a couple of years. Then I built my brush forks for the MF tractor and had a big cleared area close to the...

Sent you a pm about your 117gr ammo in stock in Montana. KC

Thanks guys for the kind words about my woodshed firewood stacking, but I really stack the wood as quick as I can. The only thing I try to do is making sure the wood is stacked level or leaning down towards the rear so I don't have a firewood avalanche. Also I have a lot of free air space in...

Here's a link to your requested ammunition, https://ammunitionsnation.com/product/winchester-ballistic-silvertip-25-06-remington-115-grain-fragmenting-polymer-tip-brass-cased-centerfire-rifle-ammunition/ It might be a little pricey from years past, but I'd pay $100 a box for my 6.8SPC...

It seems everybody is busy this summer with many projects. I have been working off/on on my dead Fir trees, 10 dead early Spring and 11 more dead this late Summer. I have lost many trees over the years to wind, ice, and snow, but this year is the first for so many larger trees to die on my...

I have only used WestLube which is now AnchorLube for a lubricant to drill holes for about 40 years. Just a little dab of the green creamy stuff does the job. I only use a pilot hole in mild steel for 1/2" diameter holes and larger. 135 degree jobber type bits works for me in a handheld...

I made up a set of chain shorteners for my 5/16" and 3/8" chain. KC...

I bought the 20' grade 70, 5/16" truckers chain at HF and 2 clevis slip hook 5/16" at Amazon, and then cut the chain into 2 10ft lengths and installed the slip hooks on the open chain ends. https://www.harborfreight.com/516-in-x-20-ft-grade-70-truckers-chain-60667.html...

It was an extended process of about 5 years to get the woodshed where it is now. For about 4 years I would just load rounds into the woodshed and split as needed with electric 9 ton log splitter. Use to just have winter or summer tires leaning against the wood and would have to move them a few...

Had to close all of the windows 2 nights ago, too cold inside of the log house. Yesterdays high was 67F and this morning was 35F. Have all of my firewood inside of the woodshed, 8.5 cords (normally burn 3.5 - 5.5 per winter). Woodshed is 32' x 12' with additional access thru the garage...

Is this what you are buying? These are 37mm flare launchers. Too much ATF documentation and costs for a M203 40mm grenade launcher... KC https://www.americanspecialtyammo.com/

I use "Loctite 545" thread sealant on my GC2410 hydraulic fittings that require a sealant. KC

My XL LocknLube grease coupler works good for me with my 12v Lincoln PowerLuber. Regarding the statement of the McNaught (0.578" diameter) as the smallest diameter grease coupler, my LocknLube (0.625" diameter) coupler greases my tractor OK. The difference of diameters is less them 1/16". KC

Oh my, that's a lot of "mash potatoes". KC

3 drops of unleaded fuel in the flash hole, generous length of proper fuse, flash hole sealed to keep fuel gases in, pointed in a safe direction like next to a cliff wall, very large area free from potential damage from this event, wearing safety glass and hearing protection, light fuse...
