Spent most of the day cleaning up all the implements and storing them for the winter. Then decided to hook up the new snowblower power pack and route the hoses. Glad i did cause that sure takes some time. And of course then i had to get the work van's snow tires all set to install in a few...

But not before finishing up my project. She held on till the last weld. Then a very odd thing happened. The manual amperage handle slammed all the way to the bottom and a very loud humm is emitted from the welder. If i shut it off and reset the handle to my setting and turn the girl on, it...

i was at the tractor supply store (big R) to try and get a longer extension to my PTO shaft for the wood chipper. A total new longer shaft runs about $250 incl the new u joints. and i cut it to fit. As an alternative they have an overriding clutch assembly that would effectively lengthen my...

I removed my loader the other day to do the 50 hour maint, and i noticed some minor scratching happening on the gray engine cover and the hood on the side that has the hoses. After i reinstalled the loader, i watched as i raised it to full height and lowered it to the ground... guess what. The...
