I am starting to have issues with the stucco siding on my house and unfortunately know nothing about stucco. For a little bit of context, this is a two-story house built in the late 1970s with brick on the lower portion and the stucco on the upper portion. The roof is in good shape, and there...

I recently noticed that at least three trailer manufacturers are now offering gooseneck flatbeds with a GVWR up to 40k pounds. Diamond C FMAX216 (GVWR: 30,000 to 40,000 lbs) Maxx-D LHX (GVWR: 36,000 to 40,000 lbs) Kraftsman Trailers G4-40 (GVWR 40,000 lbs) This got me thinking, at what point...

This might not happen, but I am considering a dedicated commuter car and am curious what the group here would choose in a similar situation and why. Daily commute would be 35 to 40 miles each way consisting of a mix of the following: 20 miles of freeway at 75 to 80 mph, possibly 85mph...

I may have the opportunity to use an L3301 (4x4, HST) with loader and brush hog sometime in the next month or two. It would be used for mowing some brush and small saplings that are always encroaching out of the woods and into fields, as well as some work in the woods moving small logs, etc. I...

This project will greatly benefit from the information in these three previous threads, all started by sixdogs: "Worklights added to my Kubota M7040" https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/customization/372671-worklights-added-my-kubota-m7040.html?highlight=M7040+Lights "Rear work light problem on...

I grew up with a wood stove and have almost no experience with fireplaces or gas inserts so I am looking for people's experience and recommendations. BACKGROUND I have a two story house built in the late 1970s connected to natural gas. The big family room is open to the second floor and has a...

I know it veries a lot depending on which part of the country you are in, but what do you guys think of the following? 2006 Kubota L4400 303 hours Gear transmission Loader (pin on bucket) Woods BH80x backhoe, with manual thumb R4 tires, look to be in great shape, no wear really The guy is...

The other day I was driving and this truck and trailer hauling square bales passed me going the other way. It was a gooseneck, deck over, looked to be 25 to 30 feet long, nothing odd there. What was really odd was that it had FOUR axels. We were both driving so I couldn't see what rating they...

Right now on our 2004 F350 6.0 diesel w/auto the heater control is not working right. The temp part works fine, the get nice hot air when you turn it to hot, and cold air when you turn it to cold, and the fan works fine on all four settings. The problem is the knob that controls where the air...

Wondering if any of you guys have even seen any tires in this size? I know they make a 8R19.5 which is about as wide as a 205/70R19.5. They make 245/70R19.5s which are a little wider that a 9R19.5 would be, and 265/70R19.5, which is about as wide as a 10R19.5 would be. 285/70R19.5s are about...

Does anyone know of a good place to get them where they are not too expensive and more importantly, fit well? Many of the shirts I can find are either too baggy, or the sleeves are too short, or both. Many people I have talked to also have this problem, even though we are all different sizes...

We started hauling hay this weekend and I thought you guys might like to hear about it and see some pictures. Anyway, we have two trucks and two 18' trailers and my dad and I each made a trip on Thursday night. We got 17 bales that night and then made three trips on Saturday getting 18 bales...

Grrrrrrrrrrr. (I broke 3 shear bolts digging one hole and only got it 2' deep, I had to finish it by hand.) Other than to keep the bolt manufactures in business, is there a reason all post hole diggers have shear bolts instead of slip cluches? Or at least have it as an option? Ed

As near as I can figure our M7040 weighs between 7500 and 8500 pounds but I wondered if anyone had weighed their M7040 (or 5040 or 6040) or had a more accutare weight for it. specs M7040, open station, Hydraulic Shuttle, 4WD, loader, and cast rears. Tractor = 4800 Cast rears = 650 to 700 each...

I have been thinking about maybe making a couple gates out of some old pipe we have and have been wondering what the best way to make the fishmouths? (that doesn't sound quite right but I think that is what it is called) on the ends of the pipe so they can be welded to a different piece on pipe...

I posted this in the Mitsubishi forum but there is not many people there and only one responded so I am posting here sinse a cluch is a cluch, more or less. It is not really the cluch that is the problem. It is a Mitsubishi D2600 (30hp) tractor that is an early 80s model I believe. When I went...

It is not really the cluch that is the problem. It is a Mitsubishi D2600 (30hp) tractor that is an early 80s model I believe. When I went out to use it this afternoon it started up fine but when I pushed in the cluch peddle it didn't feel right (to soft) and when I tried to put it in gear it...

You guys seem to know about everything so hopefully you will be able to help. We are thinking about getting a video camera and I have no idea what to look for. What we are looking for is good videos and also we want it to record sounds well. We also want it to not be too expensive.:D On the...

This is a bale spear I built for our blue tractor last fall so it could be used to feed since we have cows two places and the orange tractor can only be one place at once. The spear started as a slip over the bucket spear but the loader on the blue tractor will not lift a round bale. What I...

This Auger came with land we bought in 1994 and has just sat till these last few weeks when we have unsuccessfully been trying to figure out how it would hook up. It is a Danus Digger model F2, serial no.1106 and has Timken tapered roller dearings. If anyone knows how old it is, etc. or how to...
