May be wrong forum. Just noticed this the other day, appears to allow you to purchase pieces of $$$$ shares like Amazon etc. I mess with stocks but usually less than $50.00 per share. Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks, Q

Got my first one, Lenovo Yoga, tired of Windows and various tablets. So far its OK, a different computer experience for me. Love to hear users experience and things to watch out for. Gradually being dragged into the 2000's or so my kids tell me, maybe someday Ill own a vehicle newer than...

Hope this isn't a Ford v Chevy thing. Interested to hear TBN opinion, lots of good mechanics here . Thanks, Q

Anybody have a recommendation? Tired of dealing with unreliable units. Thanks, Q

More pics, its a little more than 12" long, approx. 25" around an rolled over a little, a bit orange/yellow where resting on the ground. Thanks to my neighbor for talking the pics and sending them to me. County Fair is this weekend. If we weren't so busy showing my daughters Boer goats, maybe I...

Not sure if this is Rural or Related. My neighbor has this growing next to one of his driveways. Watermelon? Fall is coming, leaves are not growing anymore. How do you know when to harvest. Never raised melons, pretty sure it's not a pumpkin :). Thanks, Q

Helping a friend with his truck, 2003 K1500. Replacing factory U Joints at approx. 200k miles. Will MAPP gas eject the nylon from the U Joint? Odd driveshaft at the tcase, no straps. Both crosses are pressed in, haven't seen that before. U Joints have minimal play but the are DRY, very gritty...

Anybody have one that ships parts? Locally all the smaller operations have been bought up by the largest operation. Their prices are high and their attitude is take it or leave it. Has got to the point where I don't like spending my $$$$ there. I can usually wait a few days for a part to...

Looks like it was broken for a while, it popped off the bushing when the rear wheel was lifted about 8" off the ground. First pic shows eye laying together, second shows pieces separated for clarity, break was not shiny, quite a bit of rust. This was the front eye, spring is laying as it would...

Best to start at the forward spring hanger? it's fixed and access it tight. The rear hanger at the bottom of the shackle is more a little more accessible and somewhat movable. Going to go out a give it a look over before my son gets home from work. May appear different today, a little warmer...

The new leaf spring and hardware showed up. Removal was a battle against old/rusted fasteners. The front hanger bolt was solidly rusted inside the sleeve in the busing. Air gun and heat would not move. Went to breaker bars, ending up torquing the head off the bolt. No big deal, not enough room...

Took a pretty bad slip and fall on muddy bank six weeks ago yesterday. Was heading to my deer stand. Hit a slick spot under the leaves, slid about four feet or so downhill hill, my feet flew out from under me, I was parallel to the ground and landed on my left side hard, primarily the lower ribs...

Anybody ever have a leaf spring break at the eye where it goes around the front hanger? In the ongoing saga of putting/keeping my '91 Ford Ranger 4x4 on the road for my motorcycle riding son. We reinforced and patched the firewall, installed a new clutch from reservoir to slave cylinder and...

Was able to remove the four bolts ( 2 per side) that hold the YPipe to the exhaust flange ears. Wasn't easy, threads on the bolt and the ears took quite a beating removing the fasteners, lots of heat, Kroil, Freeze spray etc. Need to create a chasing/cleaning tap from a new fastener and perhaps...

Doc wants me to try to eat oatmeal as much as possible, cholesterol a bit high, family history of heart disease. I like oatmeal but it's not bacon. Any serving suggestions to liven it up a bit would be appreciated. Thanks, Q

IYHO, which pad typically wears more quickly, inboard (piston side) or outboard. Having a debate with my son. He has his theory, I have mine. I suppose in the ideal world they should both wear evenly, in my experience that hasn't been the case. Would love to hear the TBN opinion on this...

Need to install a patch panel on the firewall of the Ford Ranger clutch R&R project truck. Known problem in Ford trucks with manual mid 80's thru mid 90's. Firewall was too thin and would flex and fall apart resisting the action of the clutch pedal. Welding a panel in will be difficult due to...

Anybody have a favorite "best value" kit. My local Advanced Auto Parts Zone offers a free rental with deposit but the quality of the tool is lacking. Looks like it hasn't been treated well. Changing the clutch on my '91 Ford Ranger, flywheel looks new, not going to remove, however, will be...

Have a 25 yo 4 D cell with LED conversion. Switch has gone bad, works intermittently. Probably from lack of use, new small LED flashlights have advanced so much, do use the big ones often, sometimes need the extra candle power. It puts out a lot of light and lasts a long time on 4 rechargeable...

Turns out it was closer to 20oz low, it was at the bottom of the add line, now just slightly over full. No leaks, not sure where it went, first makeup fluid since assembly several years ago. Approx. $15. Pic FYI, Thanks, Q

Troy Bilt 27 ton log splitter, label on tank calls for 10W AW Hydraulic fluid or Dexron III. I have tons of Dexron III and UDT, unit is about 10oz or so low, would like to add make up fluid using what was installed originally. Fluid is clean and clear, smells like hydraulic fluid. Anybody have...

Mourning doves are a tough shot, maybe I'm just getting older. They seem to be learning new tricks, sure can make you look silly, but it's lots of fun. Great to be out in the field with my buddies again. Been having some real nice "fall like" weather lately. Beats the heck out of the hot, humid...

Do this threads go in Rural Living or Related Topics? Perhaps we need an Outdoor Recreation Forum, could cover hunting, shooting, trapping, fishing, riding Quads, Dirt Bikes etc. Thanks for your attention, Q

Branch jumped up and cracked the right rear tail light cover on my B2910. Couldn't do it again if you paid me. My local dealer doesn't have one and doesn't appear to be capable of ordering one. I could piece it back together and cover it with the red tail light tape but if price isn't crazy I...

Not sure if this is the correct forum or title. Most auto parts stores have one hanging in the nut/bolt area. Different size/thread pitch/count fittings hanging on a cable. Enables you to check you bolts/nuts against theirs to verify what you have. Home Depot/Lowes also have them, typically...

Not sure if this is the appropriate forum, I'm sure it will be moved to the appropriate venue if necessary. Knew it was eventually going to happen, my 17yo son, soon to be 18 in three months has been going into his "difficult" period. He is a good kid, very bright, great physical shape, working...

Title says it all. My 13 yo daughter wants to start riding a dirt bike, of course I'll have to get two, my 11 yo daughter will want to ride as well. Would be good for them to ride together also. I think this may be the way to go: Safe(r) way to learn and get some experience See if she really...

Why does the ability to edit a post go away? Any way to correct an older post? Thanks

Question on one of my own this time. 94 K1500 Suburban (230K), exhaust leak rear passenger side. Manifold bolt sheared off, still protuding partway up the exhaust manifold bore. I thought I might have gotten lucky and the bolt had just backed out. I noticed the retainer between the adjacent...

Not sure if this is a "Related Topic" but here it is. Looking at a cabin/second home. Nice little place on 4.5 acres in the Laurel Highlands. Inital construction was in 1977, additional work around 1986. Have only looked at it once (in a snowstorm) for about two hours. Gettin dark, 8 degrees...

Here's a pic, couldn't get the pic I wanted, between the goats running around and the chickens being a little leary of the proceedins. 10 chicks total, 6 yellow and 4 brown. Rooster is a RIR, have 6 RIR hens and 6 Ideal 236 hens, Henrietta, the moma hen is a Delaware. Will be interesting to see...

Not sure what to do here. We have 13 (now 14 + chicks) chickens and a rooster that we allow to run loose. They generally stay around the house and are locked in a coop at night to roost. Occasionally lose a chicken to predators. I though we had lost our oldest hen, Henrietta, a 6 year old...

Looks like it cools off to the low 90's/upper 80's but the humidity picks up a bit :) Dave

We inherited some heirloom garlic from my FIL after he passed last year. I have never grown garlic before, we put the cloves in the ground last fall and they came up very nicely before winter came and continue to grow well this spring and early summer. I remember him telling me that he used to...

I guess it isn't really a pump issue but the black "ABS?" line from the well to the pressure tank. Pardon me while I ramble a bit. Over the course of the past several months I have noticed the well pump cycling during the night. Our bedroom is directly above the utility room downstairs and it...

Took my son to a baseball tournament over the weekend, found this for sale on the way home. Seemed like a nice enough garden tractor, 44" deck (3 blades), 18hp B&S IC, 3 forward, 1 reverse, Hi/Low range, good tires. Started right up, sounds OK, mowed some grass for a test drive, tranny sounds...

This may not be the right forum, apologies in advance if that is the case. Saw this in the paper last weekend and I was shocked, it is the property across and just down the road from me. Nice enough fellow, I believe he was using his property as an ATM (cash out or multiple cash out refinances...

Tractor is due for hydraulic service, fluid and filters. Can I remove the spin on canister filter below the operators platform on the right (passenger?) side without dropping the linkage that the forward/reverse peddle is connected to, clearance looks very tight. Any other tips or tricks...

Neighbor has a tractor with an early 80's vintage Peerless 4 speed transaxle, manual calls for 4 pints of EP 90 lube. The lube that is in there now looks pretty good but it doesn't have the typical "gear oil" odor. What is a EP 90 lube to refill with? I have 3 or 4 different brands of 80-90W...

Fellow down the road from me is trying to sell this garden tractor. Says he bought it from Montgomery Ward back in the early to mid 1980's. Condition is about average for its age. It has a 18hp Brigs with a two blade 44" deck, rear discharge. It has a four speed transmission with the PTO lever...

There was a similar post on the JD forum a while ago. I get a small puff of smoke when I accelerate from idle to approx. 1800 rpm or above. It seems to be more blue than black or white. Only happens if you move the handle quickly, if you run it up gradually it doesn't smoke. Air filter looks...

Picking up a new Leinbach L7400 PHD on Friday and have the choice of 9" or 12" auger. Generally speaking which one would be better. Does it make sense to have both? Initally I will be using it to install approx. 1000' of split rail fence and about 40 deck piers. Also will be planting quite a...

6\' Offset Rear Blade Fair Price? Is $300.00 a fair price for a like new Leinbach 6' rear blade with offset capability? It is the only one I have been able to find locally so I can't get a feel for what the price should be. Looks like this...
