This seems like a great investment fo lightly used compressors like I have. https://www.amazon.com/Powermate-Vx-072-0023RP-Extended-Assembly/dp/B00QQL2BPY/ref=sr_1_5?crid=34AYKH5Q9J00R&keywords=air+compressor+drain+valve&qid=1687082063&sprefix=air+compressor+drain+valve%2Caps%2C108&sr=8-5

You might try this. Apply grease to the lettering - then using a firm sponge with an absorbent cloth, wipe the grease off the letter surface you are wanting to paint (spray). Wipe with a solvent also to remove grease before painting. Spray the letters and let dry - then remove the rest of the...

As in post #2, Cheap enough to give them a try. I use them on the front porch and deck and it seems to work for bees, carpenter bees, wasps etc. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088CVZR8V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Here is mine. And how I did it - Deere X300 Weight Box

The anti-scalp wheels are adjustable, if the deck, tires and blades are correct adjust the wheels.

Just wait to see what they raise the medicare cost to! Will probably take half of the COLA as usual. Taking out of one pocket and putting in the other! Gota love SS.

I bought a EGO 56V a couple years ago and love it. The main reason I love it is the super easy way you change the string. Mine is manual reload but they make a power reload also. To reload you cut about a 10 foot piece of string - push it in one side of the spool and out the other side. Even it...

My X300 should be quite similar as it has a Kawi engine. Mine will not start when hot unless I choke it!. The manual says to choke it also hot or cold. works every time. If it was hot and only turned off for a very short time(a minute or 2) it may start without the choke.

Electricity runs from the hot wire - through item in your house like motors, light bulbs etc, then back on the neutral line. In your fuse/circuit breaker panel the neutral is connected to a ground wire and most cases there is a ground rod connected also right by the box that the power lines...

you definitely need an expansion tank. With a backflow preventer the hot water needs someplace to "Expand", the pressure relief valve would be the only place and start dripping. When it is dripping turn on a hop water faucet and see if the dripping stops.

Had a similar problem with a dado set and needed to increase the holes in the blades. Bought a tapered reamer and put in my cordless drill and did the hole enlarging in a few seconds. Really even and smooth holes. Cost about $15. Just get one the size you need (3/4)

Olive butter and cream cheese. They no longer make olive butter so make your own. Take salad olives (cheapest) and put in a blender after removing most of the juice. Blend till about the consistency of drywall compound:) . Spread on bread with cream cheese and eat. Picture attached.

Buy a reamer of the correct size it will be tapered slightly but will be round. Ream also from the other side will help get rid of much of the taper. I used mine to enlarge some old saw blades to fit my new one. it cut very fast - put in my 1/2 inch drill. They are inexpensive also...

Back about 1985 or so where I worked they wanted to switch screw heads so the robots could more easily assemble the units. I was in the home office service department and a big concern was the service personnel may not have screwdrivers to repair the units and need to buy a bunch of tools, about...

Is this considered a barn or a shed? Used to store a 40 ft camper.

Fitting a Murray Snow Plow to a John Deere X300 I posted this on here 5 years ago, but all the details pointed to my old web page. So I decided to repost it. My old Scotts tractor was getting weak in the trans so I purchased a great John Deere X300. This meant all the attachments I had for the...

My retirement clock

Well it's been a year now since I filled the holes and ruts. I did not try top dressing yet as other projects have taken priority. I did find the Deere 40 inch shovel to be useful last winter when we had 5 inches of snow, rare for southern Tennessee. I cleared my short driveway and sidewalk...

I had a similar need, smoothing the yard. Used a leftover A frame from a swing set, really did a good job of spreading and leveling. I used the bucket on my tractor to put out piles of top soil and then pulled the A frame. I used a chain to pull it as it made it easy to adjust the angle of the A...

A house I moved into had no record of where the tank was. We had 3 plumbers come out and even with the electronic tracer unit they missed the tank by over 10 ft. Finally found the company that had pumped it out years ago. They sent out the old timmer and in about 5 minutes he found it. It was in...

Thanks Dutch 445, the idea of a bucket won. I bought a Deere 40 inch bucket. The Swisher was cheaper but didn't have down force if I used my winch and would need to make a mount for the bucket and winch. The Johnny Bucket Jr would be good, but cost about $400 more than the Deere. The Deere is...

Drew property lines on picture for better explination of grass area. Leaning toward a Johnny Bucket Jr and a "Landscape Drag". Still have a month or so till grass planting season. May even wait till next year as it isn't a huge problem. Will post results when done.

Here is a Google earth shot of the yard. back just goes to trees

I've searched for smoothing a yard and all the ways suggested would destroy a sprinkler system. I just bought a new house in TN, I have about 3/4 acre of lawn - fescue. Neighbors said the previous owners had tons of trees planted and removed many, I also took out 6. So the yard has pot holes...

In the opposite direction - Had an old tire from my lawn tractor and decided to make use of it. I throw some sunflower seeds in it.

Made a better video and picture of the limit switch in action. Video - http://home.roadrunner.com/~rblapham/Aerator2.wmv

Received the limit switch from China:( It is a woble stick with a spring actuator. The hole for the wires is metric so I so I ground down the threads of a 1/2 inch fitting and forced it in. I then put calking around the wires where they enter the switch hole to seal out moisture. The woble stick...

OK spring has arrived, time to aerate. Updated the setup with the winch. Added a plug to connect the power to the tractor and quick disconnect -- see picture. I also added a limit switch using a switch I had laying around. I ordered a limit switch for $7 which has a spring actuator and is water...

I use it twice a year - spring and fall. I do my 1 acre a couple small neighbors yards and my son' yard. Now that I have it powered up/down I may try doing more yards for profit. Used to do yards for $30 when I was in atlanta - made more than enough to pay for it in one weekend:) Here is a...

I'm 70 years old and am tired of having to get off my tractor and raise the plug tines onto the wheels every time I get to a sidewalk or drive and if you need to back up. I received a Warn 1700 winch for Christmas and today the weather was 60 degrees so I went and played with the Brinly 40 inch...

Want a flat surface, rotor has hole in middle? Going to check local steel supplier for a 1/4 or thicker disk first. Thanks for the suggestion.

I have a 2010 X300 with the 42C mowing deck. I have a very wooded lot with lots of trees. I didn't like the chute on the mower deck and wanted to convert it to a mulcher, mainly to remove the chute and not have to worry about blowing the grass and leaves in one direction. When the leaves get...

My old Scotts tractor was getting weak in the trans so I purchased a wonderful John Deere X300. This meant all the attachments I had for the Scotts may not fit. Here I'll describe what I had to do to attach the Murray 24478B 46" Snow Plow to my X300. Since the 44 inch Deere plow was $550...

Just joined. own a 1 year old Deere X300 with 30 hours. No problems.
