We only have 1 company that does spray foam in my area, and his bid to do my 30x 40 x 12 shop pre covid was over 30k. I paid 18k for the shop It wasnt done.

Man… that laser tree trimmer would be great to have. I cant believe it doesnt cause a fire though https://ud-machine.com/cnc-machine/laser-tree-cutting-machine/#

Good points… i didnt think about a rear remote set in detent position. That has happened to me a few times.

We used to ba able to get those rental concrete trucks, but the guy shut down a few years ago. Must not have been profitable. There is one guy in town that has a rig that mixes the concrete to your specifications right on the site and makes whatever amount you need for smaller jobs. Its much...

Problem with breadmakers…. The bread smells and taste too good, have to eat whole loaf. No wonder im overweight.

I ended up having to purchase a cyclone rake to tow behind my mower for pine needles and pine cones. I have so many dam* pine trees…it drives me nuts

If she knew you wrote that here…shed clobber you with bidet seat

Have you checked the flow control knob under the seat. It twists either right or left

Your not even below zero. Should be no issues. Ground temps will probably be in high 60s

Whats so hard about driving 1.5 hrs. I used to haul horse and cattle across many states. Its all good.

Holy crap

But alot of times, it works and saves you a fortune. Case in point, GE wanted to replace entire freezer door on my built in Monogram freezer due to failed ice maker control. They stated…its a known problem. Like a $1800 problem. I did a internet search and looked at schematics. I found a pcb...

Just yesterday i broke the water line and electrical going accross the street to my pasture. It runs electric fence and supplies water to the horse water trough. But i have an excuse. There installing fider to the neighborhood. My pipes were 24” below grade (summer water only) and there...

I just went that route. I usually do my own work, but when I decided to add a 3rd function to my DK45 i was just too busy to do it myself. Dealer made an appointment and i trailered it the 45 minutes to their shop. They swore it was a 2 hour job, so i left it and did some chores in town. 5...

Does this move right and left while chewing up root? Or do you have to move tractor

You can set whatever levels you want to be alerted to. But this link didnt have a hub.

Nonesence, ive been using burn barrels for years. I just stand there and throw in crumpled pages just about as fast as i can while burning. I empty box full of paper pretty quickly. About 12 hrs later theres just a pile of ash. Than i fill barrel with water. Barrel has holes in bottom. Next day...

Funny, theres a company near me that has 1000’s of plastic, metal and those large caged containers on the property. It seems like they could never find enough people to buy that many barrels

I use rhis for the single pole timers...

I switched from the mechanical timers to digital years ago. The digital are far superior in ability to vary run times. I have 4 on my property. Only thing i have to do is remember to check lithium batteries every few years. Also, remembers time during power outage…no pesky resetting dial. Oh...

In 1980 i got my private pilot license in a scary piper tomahawk….. and it was scarry the way the tail on that plane shook

I use a burn barrel myself. Takes no time at all. Have a stand alone paper shredder for daily use. Its the huge old tax files i burn after holding time expires

We had those, they were called scooter pies

When we went thru there, there were people camping. No one seemed to care. This was back in 1993 as i recall.

Step away from the crack pipe. What are wagon wheels

I think the crap has messed with emergency brake cable on my 2004 f350. Hard to set brake now.

I wonder, in a finished house, how would an inspector even know sinks and tubs wernt piped into septic?

That test was useless. My tub drains slow if theres hair in the trap

We used to ride horses on the old set. We also rode on the old flintstone set

Calif text books now say we shouldnt eat sugar, so dont buy it from anyone.

I used to think i HATED the gravel applied to the roads during winter here in Idaho. Until they started using mag chloride. I would gladly go back to occasionally replacing windshield vs rusting my entire car to a pile if crap in a few years. I DESPISE MAG CHLORIDE

The cable from the battery to the starter has to also supply power to the rest of the tractor. So somewheres there has to be an offshoot of the positive cable to another source. Can you trace entire hot cable. If there are no other wires off if battery positive post, there has to be additional...

My riser had an insulated lid. I replaced the leaking concrete tank maybe 6-7 years ago. Went with a 1000 gal poly. Very pleased with results.

I bought 2 small refer/freezers for the wifes storage of potatoes in one and onions and such in other. In a pinch they can convert to freezers. Got them at lowes..

Like i said… only thing missing was the duct tape

Ive had a garbage disposal on mine for 29 years. But not alot goes down it. 95% of junk goes into garbage can. But sometimes something slips by. We dont use bleach either, however articles about bleach and washers on septic seen to say the product is broken down during washing and shouldnt hutt...

A septic system will never freeze. Too much heat being produced while its working. Also, too much solids in water.

We had the simulators also, both auto and stick shift. Also the gory films……dont speed. Films today would be dont text Training cars were all automatics with instructor brakes as well.

Hmm, i might try that next summer also

Oh no……..farmers doing electrical. My worst fears have come true. You would not begin to imagine all the electrical repairs ive had to do at farms using bailing wire, duct tape (the silver tape conducts electricity ya know), lamp cord, pennies behind screw in fuses. One of my best friends...

Possibly. I buy prime steaks at costco so that might be the reason

My friend raises wagyu beef…and i really dont see much of a difference in taste myself.

Those are simple septic systems……how about this nightmare I wire in some hideously nasty systems near the lake.

Im not sure its just the flasher unit. Usually turn and hazard flashers are 2 separate units. My tractor has 2 flasher units, so do all my trucks. I cant see 2 flashers controls failing at same time

Getting solids pumped every 5 years will go a long ways towards not having to replace system.

Man, you have way more patience than i would have.

I trailered my DK45 tractor to local tractor dealer/shop. They told me it would take 2 hours. I busied myself in town for 4 hours until i ran out of stuff to do. At 5 hr mark i drove back to dealer…they never even looked at it. Even though i had an appointment. Their excuse was 2 mechanics out...

Yes and no….most lenders will insist on having the tank pumped prior to sale. But its near impossible to know if the leach field is compromised. Maybe a record of tank maintenance would help. We have our tank pumped every 5 years. Its been running great for 30 years

Yeiks…..have you ever watched Horders on tv

Tell them their putting the engine in backwards 😂😂😂

Fiber co met me today to stake out where underground pull box will be at my driveway, and plotted path to house.

My brother is one of them developers…when he came and visited a few years ago he saw the 10 acres i purchased accross the street from my property. I bought it so it couldnt be developed. He said he could put 30 houses there. I told him to f off.

Yeiks. Id melt either inside or outside with those temps. Its 72° here

Like i said, the yolink devices from amazon will work. My building is about 500’ from the hub, never disconnects.

This morning it was 34°f. High was 66°

And i dont understand the tying up the tractor thing. When im splitting wood, i cant be using the tractor at the same time…. Also, i do all my logging, cutting and splitting by myself, so im not stopping anyone else from access to the tractor. I can remove splitter in about 2 minutes if...

Honestly, if your afraid to run your tractor because youll wear out the engine, you purchased the wrong tractor.

Tractors are designed for long hours of running. We used to have our tractors hooked up to water pumps to irrigate fields. They would run for 24 straight hours. There not running full throttle. When using my splitter, its set to just a bit above idle. Works plenty fast for me, i feel safer that...

I made mine about 16 years ago. Absolutely love it. Its slower cycling than a stand alone, but i dont mind that. I still have all my fingers. Its still plenty fast. Nothing to maintain. Mine stands up vertical so i dont have to lift the rounds. These pictures were taken yesterday. I always...

When my glow plugs started to fail, i was getting smoke even in summer. Now i dont even get smoke in cold mornings like when it was new. Today it was 34°F and she fired right up, no smoke

Dont remember the ohms, but the open ohm readings were a dead giveaway

Exactly, ive had 1 known problem with door sensors on my house in 29 years. Have 4 sets of door sensors. Had to replace a set that went bad.

My starlink will become my backup in a month or so. They just painted and staked our road for fiber install yesterday. Neighbor had theres installed last week. His speed was 700/700 at $65/month, unlimited data.

https://www.amazon.com/yolink-temp-sensor/s?k=yolink+temp+sensor

Look at amazon, product called yolink They have huge range and will alert your phone, email or an alarm. You need at least 1 hub and you connect hundreds of devices to it. I also use mine to turn on tractor heat in winter

Combine them all, make some meat flavored cookies

All i know is my DK45SE cab states 2,700# lift capacity. I tested this with sacks of concrete, and dang if it didnt pict that up. But i had to use my 1000# rear weight.

I purchased my trailer after i purchased my larger tractor. My old trailer was not large enough. My newer trailer is a 14k tilt bed. Not only do i use it to transport tractor, i use it to haul lots of building supplies for the property. A trailer is a must have in my opinion. Ive had the tilt...

My top and tilt was purchased from my kioti dealer. It never leaked in the past 4 years ive owned it. I have 2 great dealers near me. Both have great parts availability and service departments. Both have been in business fir many years.

I have to trailer my DK45 cab to the dealer to have a 3rd function installed tomorrow. I went to grab my trailer…..i forgot i had all that crap stored on it. I mean theres a dozen 6x6’ fence posts, rolls of non climb fencing, and sacks of concrete. My back was already hurting, so ill have to...

Its just an electromagnet. I honestly hardly ever use mine. The most i use it is when roading tractor with snowblower to neighbors in winter..

My tire store mounts those for $13

Na, bet he’d help me load that on my truck

My 2011 dk45 cab unit has 2 safety switches from factory. Neutral and PTO. Thats all. Love it

The only time i ordered a truck other than white was a black F250. What a mistake. Never looked clean. Since then, every rig has been white. They always look clean. Always. Even on my dirt roads.

1978…….dont you own any new devices……bet your typing on a 8088 computer….or do you use punch cards. But seriously….id test a micro that old with a radiation meter near exterior door

Im use to seeing farm equipment running down rural roads, i can understand they have to move between fields. But last week i came upon a track driven skid steer driving down a rural lake side road with a skidder head attached. Doing maybe 4 MPH. I was maybe 30th car behind. No way for him to...

That we do… heres my clock

You sure that snake wasnt a copperhead

If your beef stew smells like BO…. I dont want your recipe

I ordered a 3rd function for my DK45…. Ive been using one of my rear remotes piped to front, but now i cant use my rear hydraulic tnt. Once it comes in, dealer is installing it. I didnt feel like messing with it.

Putting out 5 watts

The white plastic one is what we had for years. My wife wanted a new one, and its metal. Now i know why she didnt get another plastic one. Guess the ones out there for sale will be the last there is of them. This chepo metal one is already starting to show some rust. The plastic one lasted over...

I purchase all my supplies except fluids from my local dealer. Doing so helps the dealers stay in business. The best way to bankrupt the small dealers it to purchase everything online. Then when you need some shop time repairs, there no longer in business.

When my bearing failed, it chipped a few gears on the bevel gear. This happened during height of covid parts scarcity. I was able to track one down about 2000 miles from me. Glad to get it. Later i purchased a spare bevel gear, set of bearings and seals. Not going to have another down time...

There telling my the fiber will be 300/300 for $75 per month. But i too will find out how to keep starlink on a pause or whatever for backup.

My lowes sells these for $8.99 Edit: shows no longer available. They have a new style, but thats $17.00 . Looks more like metal than plastic

There starting to trench in the fiber on my street……

Holy crap….. I got my dish from bestbuy for $299

Glad we dont have to do this in idaho.

My unit is pictured on left. Its loader mounted. Has worked for past 14 winters. Easy to swap between plow and bucket if needed. Easy to use. Its nicely balanced with large rear mount powerpack. It uses i believe a 25 gallon, 3000 psi and 15 gpm pump. It works absolutely awsome in fresh snow...

My 2010 tractor came with a plastic cap. First day i removed it, put it on shelf. Its still there.

Speaking of lightning. We had a whopper of a lightning storm come thru tonight. Got about 1.5” of badly needed rain and about 1.5 hours of constant lightning. Some were REAL CLOSE to me…..closer than i like. Glad it was raining real hard, as we dont need any more fires. We've had our share of...

R.c.worst Located in my town. They have helped solve many issues for me over the years. A fine bunch of people.

Me, id park it until parts come in. I drove mine with minor leak. Than it failed spectacularly and cost me nearly $800 in parts it repair it. Loose metal parts hurt other gears.

Man….talk about bad luck. Does the well house panel have a good quality surge suppressor. Lightning not only jumps breakers, it will jump a fuse. In 30 years i only lost one oven to lightning strike. Im surrounded by tall trees, so that helps. The lightning is attracted to them over the...

Idaho has fuel sales tax on red dyed diesel. Also on fiod, which sucks. They should not be allowed to charge sales tax on food

Ive never had luck with plugs. I got a flat on my side by side and pulled out my old plug kit. The plugs were still real sticky. I plugged hole. A few days later it was flat again. I took tire to Les Schaub tire to get fixed. All they did was replug it and charged me 21.00 A week later, flat...

Something tells me this is a fake post

Honestly…i used to wire up service stations and fuel depots. The red dyed and the regular diesel come out of same tank. They have an inline tank and pump to add the dye as its used. Im sure some older stations may have separate buried red diesel tanks, but unsure about this. Service stations...

I just have no interest in ever purchasing a Chinese made plasma, or much less any Chinese made thing, unless it isnt made In the good old USA. Mind you i know alot of stuff just plain isnt made here. Not much else ya can do then.

Ya, saddles are a crapshoot. The saddle i had for years fit my QH perfectly, but was rubbing my fjords back. I had to purchase a new one , custom fitted to horse. Still have the old one, not worth selling. I’ll probably donate it to riding club in the future. Always housed in heated tack room...

Are you sure battery cables are tight. Grab teem with your gloved hand and twist. There should be NO movement

No way to do that. I swapped everything to led to save money, so dud most other people around here. Than the power companies sold less power, so complained delivering the power was losing money, so they increased rates. Net zero change

I have a hypertherm plasma table. Have used it so many times over the many years ive owned it. Huge learning curve. I wish i hade a hand held torch head also, but only straight head designed for plasma table use.

Kids steal kias with a usb stick……i miss the good old days. A $2.00 key. God forbid you have to insert a key instead of pushing a button

Ya, stupid ford wanted $250 for a programmed key for my F150. Yet i had an emergency hide a key made for $9 at Ace hardware (non programmed). Ford manual tells how a owner can program their own key, as long as they have 2 original programed keys, in less than 5 minutes by placing blank program...

If i ever poured a new garage floor or parking ribbon id go minimum 6”. Im so sick and tired of concrete cracking. If i replace the slab where i park my tractor, its going to be 6” with steel plates that allign with tires so the chains wont damage concrete.

I was fired 3 times from an electrical contractor here in Idaho years ago. I was one of only 2 journeyman electricians he had, and state required ratio of 1 journeyman for every three apprentices at the time. He would get fined for not having a journeyman on site. So each time he came crawling...

Man….that was weird……

What is this crap

Like Clark Grizwald did on xmas vacation……..

The fiber trenching work is getting closer to my house…. There going to start on our phase this month i have been told

My 2010 DK45 cab unit has been wonderfully reliable. Living in pacific northwest without a tractor would be nearly impossible.

Ive been chipping, shredding and spreading my own chips on the trails for over 20 years. Never had any issues. Keeps grass and weeds at bay. Never sprayed weed killer either.

I picked up 50 quarts of kirkland synthetic also (10 of the 5 quart jugs). But picked up at store. They were all out of the mobil1 synthetic. I read that kirkland is nearly as good. Made by reputable USA mfg.

Yeiks….thats like a few light bulbs. My problem is i have a 4000 sf home. Why, i dont know. Thees only 2 of us.

Yeiks…that would have a small fortune where i live. Mine is still all gravel.

They use those blocks at alot of the landscape supply yards around here, and load with large front end loaders. I never seen those blocks move.

Yeiks…… with taxes, use fees, line fees and infrastructure, were paying $0.12/kwh. The actual electrical cost is really $0.068/kwh. The rest are fees. Were a small elect coop, so all costs are spread over entire base. Even after swapping all lights to led, were still power hogs. Thanks to my...

Ive been using 50:1 for 30 years with no issues. Well, let me restate ….. no problems for last aprox 10 years . Thats when I switched to non ethanol fuel. Now no problems. I no longer need to rebuild or replace small carbs since swapping to non ethanol.

Yup. Ran the saw earlier this week, didnt even think about wrecking it. It worked as good as before.

My winter water bill is $35/month. Summer is $125 this last month. Just to grow green grass that i have to trim.

I just got an email for starlink system for $89 in idaho. Not sure of other locations

i wish it would rain here. On day 14 without any rainfall, and even back 14 days we only had 0.10”

I made one years ago, very similar. Let me find a pic. Was green when used on olj JD870, grey on my kioti 357598,357601

Exact thing happened to me. There trenching in the fiber conduit as i type. Im going to keep the starlink as a backup on some kind of holding plan. Im looking into them right now. Ive been told they have a $10/ month plan that leaves it in limbo with a small available bandwidth for emergency use...

You ever think about rehooking the backhoe, reconnect hoses and see what happens?

There NOT the same serial numbers. Look closely

I just replaced both idler pulleys on my husqvarna riding mower. But found them on amazon for about $10. Each. Im sure there aftermarket knockoffs, but were metal and looked well built. Funny thing is one of the original was plastic pulley. The aftermarket are steel. May be better than OEM.

When i broke the front window of my tractor a few years ago, plexiglas would have cost 2x what the new glass cost. I checked several shops. Their reasoning was lack of supply. During covid they used most of the inventory making shields used in stores, etc. And plexiglas scratches way too easily.

Only 11 people….not a bone left. They came out fantastic

Yeiks,… my kioti front windshield was about half that cist. I wouldnt think a door would be that much more. And i really doubt there are any after market for those.

Some ribs

Yeiks…. That makes my measly $1300 per year tax burden seam ok.

The site points out that theres a 130” diesel unit for over 80k. I know a few rich and stupid homeowners here that would probably buy one. One guy has a brand new skid steer , glass cab, rubber high track for clearing his 30’ driveway in the winter. Resides in new covered overhang rest of the time.

5 racks of ribs to smoke for BBQ tuesday.

This is a 2024 tractor……why isnt the tractor dealership dealing with this instead of you? Id be so pissed off if my 1 year old tractor wasnt starting…..just saying. Are you sure you found the proper starter relay? For quite a few years, kioti diagnostic manuals have mislabeled positions for...

Funny, i wonder if its just the canadian f150s. I went to do a recall check on my 2020f150 and there are no recalls listed.

Was this just certain 2020f150’s? I just checked my 2020 f150 vin at ford site, theres no recalls

Got them mounted and installed. They only charged $53 to mount new tires and disposed of old ones. They look great. Should help get around better this winter snow season.

Its the same manufacturer of the original tires from 2012. So they should be same exact quality. They arrived today. Very heavy duty. And super stiff. I dont even want to try a manual tire changer on these bad boys. No give.

Isn’t the bouncing around of the tools going to drive you bonkers?

I just ordered a set of tires for my kawasaki mule off of amazon. Alot cheaper than the dealer wanted. The tire store in town will mount entire set for $64 incl disposal of old tires. I was going to buy a tire changer from harbor freight, but for $64 ill let the pros do it. Les schaub tires...

How the heck did the original battery fit in there?

Just a heads up…..you should use a flexible electrical “carlon” conduit to hook into generator. Just like the flexible gas pipe. It will help prevent damage from vibration.

Not in my area. Fire season is longer than winter season lately.

On my latest project i kept the chipper in the shed, hired a guy with an industrial root grinder and another guy with a 100 hp forestry mulcher. The local utility company cut a swath 15’ wide x 1,280’ long along my north boarder to move power lines. They left a mess of wood and branches. Trees...

Mine would only chip up to 4” when it was used on my old JD870 which had 28hp. On my Kioti DK45 it easily powers thru 6” on about 42 hp pto (i believe thats the spec). Would probably handle 8”, but i can barely physically handle 6” stuff. Just too heavy. And unless its all rotted out, i burn 6”...

There running fiber to my house this month. I have starlink which i like, but there offering free fiber to house including wifi modem with 400/400 speeds for $79 per month. Since im paying $120 now for 150/20 speeds, im going for it. Im going to see about letting my starlink stay for backup. I...

I have an old Chinese made 6 in belt fed roller feeder style chipper. Have had it over 20 years. Still fust keeps on going. I rotate 3 sets of knives thru it with local company sharpening them. I have mainly pine, fir and assorted softer wood to contend with. Chipper works pretty fast cleaning...

Well, my goodyear rubber hose is over 10 years old. Its red and still looks like new. This same company made all my hydraulic hoses for front snowblower, plus has made repair hydraulic hoses for me for past 29 years. As long as i supply them with old hose, they will make me exact copy. The ones...

Look for a hydraulic hose shop in your area. They can custom make hoses with fixed, instead of swivel ends, pretty inexpensively. My local guy even made a 50’ replacement air hose for my shop with goodyear rubber cheaper than Home Depot chinese hose.

A new set of tires for my kawasaki side by side…amazon. Having tire dealer install them next monday. I was going to do that myself, but local dealer said hed do it for $16 per tire. They dont need balance or new stems. Also, replaced tires on my husqvarna riding mower. The old ones are 21...

Installed maybe, not if you install it yourself. My 12’ x 12’ roll up with internal motor took about 1 hour to install. Only needed 1 person to help, but i placed a electric winch up at peak to assist. Actual lift and bolt down only took 15 minutes to secure. Took way less time than sectional...

Go onto ebay and look up Janus roll up doors. Thats where i got mine. Very easy to install. You can order them with or without the internal operator motor...

I thought about getting some on amazon, but chickened out and bought from Kioti. Have 4 spares. 2 regular and 2 twin relays

I had a stupid ass goat climb into my f350 pickup window and eat the seat. Ill never have one of those pieces o **** on my property again…ever.

I converted my wifes horse trailer. Manually setting landing gear sucked

My tilt trailer is manual. It takes like 1 minute to raise the deck. Maybe 10-12 pumps of the jack. No way id pay for electric jack to save a minute. Now if were talking landing gear for a gooseneck…..go hydraulic or electric any day.

My dk45 had a ipod adapter installed under the cup holder on the right hand side when i got it. Not sure if all kioti radios came that way. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/kioti-cab-radio.289870/#post-3451831

If you are using a rubber liner, i know animals can punch holes in them with feet. Not sure if goats are heavy enough to do this though. Deer and elk play havoc with them in my neck of the woods.

ny tilt bed can load 2 different items. You simply load the first, lower deck, secure first item. Then raise deck and load second. I do it all the time.

What he said. Very easy This is from my 2010 dk45 , but im sure yours is similar

Oh well..l my 2004 Husqvarna riding mower is now towed up to my shop. Looks like idler pulley brook on drive system. They still make the part, but they all look like chinese aftermarket. Oh well. At least i can hopefully get it back running. 21 years and still going

Funny, but its easier to back up my 30’ gooseneck horse trailer that it is to back up my jet ski trailer. Yet both are very easy to back up and clear obstacles the first time. I also enjoy watching people try and back up dump trailers at the local dump. Takes them like 5 tries while others watch...

Ford likes hiding pumps. My 2004 f350 had a second high pressure oil pump inside the engine.

Generac has done the same thing to their new line of generators. I guess the EPA has forced them to get rid of the old mechanical magneto system and go completely electronic ignition. All parts are going to be expensive to repair, compared to cheap old mags. Alot more sensors to fail...

My ge monogram refrigerator had an issue years ago with freezer door ice dispenser not working. I called ge repair and someone called me back telling me its a known problem and id need an entire new door. Very costly. I did internet research and found that there was a printed circuit board...

Yeiks…on a 1 year old machine. That’s horrible. I believe my kitchenaid dishwasher is now 5 years old, and has worked flawlessly. Super quiet also. But i do monthly cleaning cycles using affresh tablets (do this for both washer and dishwasher). I started to do this after i started to notice hard...

My bad, i thought you ment you didnt remove the ballast and used led that required the ballast. I leave all cut, unused ballast in the fixture also. Less mess in landfill

The only thing about these old, still running refers and freezers is the amount off energy they use. Ive had customers complain to me about high utility bills and want to see if theres a problem with the wiring. I would place recording devices on the major appliances. Some of these old freezers...

Nearly all the projects I have taken on in lighting conversion (commercial or industrial) was paid for by utility companies. They came thru every time and paid in full. Most times these plans covered all parts and labor, except for a few jobs where labor hours were higher due to exposure or...

Im not sure how we get by altering the innerds of light fixtures the way we do. By cutting out the ballast and installing direct wired led tubes, we have definitely altered the ul rating. Bit as ling as we install the sticker alerting to the change, i have never had an issue with this with an...

I agree with everything EXCEPT i never leave a ballast. Never. Youve just left an object that will fail and ruin the retrofit.

I dont know, i have an LG front load washer and dryer, both 4 years old and absolutely trouble free. My main refer and freezer combo is a GE Monograms built in 48” model. Installed in around 2000. Ive had to do some small repairs to the door ice dispenser only. Had to replace the electronic...

I only used a single layer of jb weld. Problem is i dont recall if. It was a 1 part or a 2 part. I just recall it dried in 15 minutes.

Or you only have 10’ of working area.

Mine is sold as a snow/ dirt blade. Your supposed to install bolts to secure the spring tilt. Never used that way, never will either. Been using it on my dk45 for snow though for 14 seasons. Works great. Only side to side movement, not tilting. I dont use float mode either, as it tends to lift...

Here, diesel is green, and alot larger so it wont fit in the opening of a gas car. But a gas nozzle can fit in opening for the diesel. Thats how the wife goofed up on my dodge. That cost me 32 gallons of trashed gas, a tow to dodge shop, and cost to flush engine and injectors. I think total was...

Ok, just thought id post a 12 years later recap. Patch still holding up. New gas tank still sitting on shelf. While i had the hood off of tractor to replace glow plugs ( earlier this year) i thought about replacing the fuel tank. But patch still looked great. So i left it alone.

I repaired my plastic gas tank in my kioti with jb weld like 12 years ago. No leaks to this day. But it wasnt a crack, it was some varmet chewing thru the side of the tank. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/rodent-chewed-hole-in-fuel-tank-dk45hst-death-to-all-rodents.277006/

A diesel will not run on gasoline. My wife accidentally filled my old 1994 dodge ram with gas, and engine died driving out of gas station. You sure this rig wasnt gas? Maybe that model in gas wasnt allowed to be sold in usa.

Mind you, i throw away alot of them servicing generators. All completely drained.

Theres no law against that, just make sure there empty of oil.

Put meter on battery than try to start while watching meter. Ill bet it really drops. Like posted earlier, a charged battery reads somewheres between 13.5-14.2 vdc. Also, grip connections at battery and twist. If they move at all, clean and retighten till they dont twist. Also, make sure...

Havnt had that issue with mine, and there pretty old. But i do rend to use the metal blade more to cut thru the never ending saplings that pop up under fencing.

I only get pissed off because Chocolate never lasts around me.

I ended up getting both the metal blade and the head with 3 spinning plastic cutting blades. They last forever it seams. I have 2 string trimmers, both Stihl. One keeps a string feeder.
