I have a couple of artesian springs coming out of slopped ground near the base of a mountainside on a 20 to 25 degree slope. The water seeps out of the saturated ground across a broad area. Probably a hundred years ago, ranchers dug a series of "tree branch like" collection ditches that fan out...

First, consider instead being more careful, or smarter than me and avoid breaking the door glass. My mistake: 6 weeks our of back surgery, wife wanted me to use tractor w/forks and pallet to lift lift her to prune some apple trees. Not motoring along at 100% but that's little excuse. I opened...

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (or UHMW PE for short) is the strongest long chain polymer plastic available. It is also blessed with a coefficient of friction that rivals Teflon. Thus it is particularly suitable for high wear and abrasion applications where slippery is good too! Snow...

I have a newer Country Line (TSC) landscape rake. While picking up some rock with FEL, I managed to back into a tree with the rake, twisting one side of the tine bar so the tines are forward and lower on that side (the main C channel is still about level but torqued maybe 20 degrees of rotation)...

Out mowing a meadow and the cab started getting a lot warmer. Come to find out that even though I'd been cleaning the radiators with compressed air and water hose, the AC radiator was mostly clogged with fine chafe that looked for all the world like the aluminum fins. I'll be making a spray...

The service manual spec for the relief valve on my Kubota B3350 is a max pressure of 2450 psi. I added shims to adjust from 2050 (as delivered) to 2500 psi. This measures the same at both front loader quick connect and at backhoe power beyond. When a control is held open and a cylinder goes to...

As delivered new, the bottom dipper stick pin (the one that goes through the mechanical thumb pivot, the bucket holes, and the bottom most hole in the dipper stick) was quite difficult to remove or reinstall when changing buckets. I should have inspected it more carefully, but wrongly assumed...

I named this thread "info and hints", as I'd like it to cover more than just problems. Just got my new B3350 yesterday :). Impressive machine with a lot to like, more glass than a PopeMobile . . . the cab is excellent, though being "walled off" from the world with glass will take some getting...
