If the barn has power to it, you can send an internet signal over the electrical line and then have WiFi at the barn for the cameras. My buddy has done this to have access to the Internet when working on something. It also works for his POE cameras.

Have a Samsung front loader that I had to replace the drain pump after 12 yrs. $110 with shipping and has been up and running fine. Sometimes, you need to roll the dice. It's the risk/reward thing!

Buddy of mine has used Southern Global but was pricey. Other one haven't been there site. I've seen clutches and water pumps on Ebay.

Search Ebay for clutch. Split tractor and check the pressure plate for issues and confirm issue. There not to bad to Split. I Split one to replace input shaft.

The front end is up! They should've slid the connex back about 2 feet. That would've put tongue weight where it should be. Sure would make towing it a lot easier! JM2C.

Don't get caught deleting the emissions! They'll take a truck and fine you big bucks. The emissions work fine if you drive it, not be just the family transportation. Work them, and you'll be fine. Mine works as should with 176k and a '14.

You'll need a wire with a UV rating for sun exposure. Or a cover, race, and conduit to run in if not UV rated.

Thank you.

I lost my buddy, Mittens. I was glad I was able to give him a home for 16 yrs! Will miss him dearly! The little guy would walk across my keyboard at work and want to play. He was part of a feral colony where I worked. RIP Mittens.

Just insert the pin, all reset.

From the twists and bends in those boards, the only thing you could build would be sled runners!

Best thing to try would be drain fuel out and heat a piece of metal and press against the area to reform and seal tank. You could also find similar type of plastic and add to hole. Weller 2 heat soldering guns have a tip for working with plastic. Good luck with repair.

My buddy is clearing out some knives. He's selling a $400 Kukri with 50% off so it's now $200! It's 23" in over all length with a 14" blade. I listed his shop previously and if interested, tell him you saw it on TBN. Thanks.

I'll second the diode being added to function correctly.

When you put the diode in the circuit, does the light come on when the tractor is off and key on? If so, this is what you want. If it's not able to tell you when it's stopped charging, then I would look at a way to make that happen. What does the factory wiring show?

Just remember that cats are nice enough to allow us to live in "their" house and pay the bills! [emoji1787] What is ours is theirs and what is theirs is theirs and don't forget that! [emoji1787]

2014 RAM 3500 DRW 4X4 6.7 Cummins with 175K on it. Hauls, what I want and then some!

If line isn't buried per NEC code, it's on the company that owns it to get it to proper depth. I went round and round with Comcast. Their contractors were trying to bury at Shovel depth! I kicked them off property and fired up the executive offices about not per code! Low and behold, a crew came...

My concern to this whole project is, are the wire in the right of way next to county/state road, or do they run across your property? If on your property, is there a right of way for them, or did they just do what was the easiest for them? If there is no right of way and on your property, you...

That's why a sub-frame will make a huge difference!

NO! As this type of machine is quite dangerous. The gruad swings away as needed to allow the board to slide past. Find one complete or save and buy new. Drizzly often has some good sales.

Some of my buddies' latest creations! The sword is well balanced and the trench knife is one to be very careful with!

Per manual, you'll have to pull side extensions off to get to snap ring.

That's CGI and it's gonna get worse on the fake items you'll be seeing on social media!

You might want to have a couple blocks to run rope through. You would need one of those big concrete anchor blocks also. That way, you could have a little extra pulling power. Just another thought to throw into the hat.

When you find the right one, you'll know right then and there! They will change your thought about a cat with the right one. I have my e and a Miniature Dachshund also. The younger guys play with the dog. Couldn't be without them!

I've got a "grumpy old man" that's 16 - 17 yrs old. He was a ferel that I brought home from the shop I work at when he was small. Almost didn't work ou. He crapped on the bed and not litter box in the room to isolate from others we had back then. He's now got some youngsters to hang with. We...

Agree on the great little tractors! The 1502 has a loader from a different manufacturer that I made brackets and subframe. It's help in so many ways! I them made a snow plow that slides onto bucket and held on by a chain binder. Really shines with snow less the 10". When it can't push anymore...

I've got 2, a Bolens 1502 gear and a White 1704 gear. Can help with basics and have manuals for mine that could help guide you in your endeavors! Glad that you got it locked down.

It sounds like the slip nut on the throttle lever needs to be tightened and or a new plastic washer added between the lever and pivot

You need a hydraulic chainsaw with environmentally friendly hydraulic fluid that runs and lubes the chain. That way you could use under the water.

I know when I looked at a plow for my DRW, they said it need at least a 1000 lb plate in bed. I have a plow on my 1500 4x4 with 1000 lbs in bed. It does the drive and plow was free. I'd get the dually and add 3k in bed and I think you'd be fine with common sense! [emoji848]

Do you have TIG available? If so, you could do a fushion weld without filler rod. Just wire brush and clean well with acetone. Then just use filler on drilled hole. Then on inside, add plate to hold and add extra metal to heat.

Check here: Shear Pin Subsoiler Pinnacle Series

I like this! Make the glass top box and use the drawer pull out on the front to access the Bible. I'd have the pull out flat without any lip on the sides, just the front panel to seal box and a back lip to help hold when pulling out. I'd go and talk with a glass shop. They'll know what can be...

GVW is the key item of this conversation. The tow vehicle is rated for 3.5K GVW. That means the trailer weight and load. All is good till it isn't. If you were to have a trailer that could haul 3.5K, you'd be over the tow vehicle specs. So you'd have a trailer that weighed 1500lbs and could...

Should all bolt up. Same as what I have. The only difference is my 4x4 is a 17 hp and the 2wd is 15hp. Can't swap internals but whole long block swap would be no issue

How much weight are you expecting? What about adding a wire stay to the top to give support? You could add an upright at the end of the 120" piece. Cable could have a turnbuckle to adjust tension.

I think the new trucks are an online manual only now. Subscription type of deal. www.techauthority.com was the old site. Should have a link to new site. I got mine years ago on a thumb drive. Print what I need and then put in folder for the next time.

Plus you can put the "balls" under the truck!

2013 started the DEF and DPF with EGR. One thing to remember is if you defeat the emissions systems, that's not a state thing, that's a federal law! You could be checked at any time no matter when driving on an interstate highway. Be careful with yours words as they're look I ng for comments to...

On the Cummins, drive it like you stole! Try to avoid the start and stop type trips when possible. Maybe go 5 - 10 miles out of the way home to get to temp and good highway speeds. My 2014 3500 DRW Cummins doesn't see a trailer but a few times of the year. Never had a regen issue. Just get them...

Check out www.genosgarage.com for stuff you'll need on that truck.

Price is worth it for the engine alone as long as no smoking or blow by noticeable. Hard to believe the hours. Think the hour meter may have been replaced at some point. If it runs and cuts, fills the need, get it and don't look back. The drive wheels right by the deck give great traction and...

Look at how satisfying it'll be when up and running! [emoji16]

Cheap and qualified for the job! [emoji1787] At least you know how to fix the next issue that may crop up. Sometimes it's worth the effort regardless! Looking forward to seeing it all together and being able to be used in your orchard

To me, when I see a SMV sign, I give extra room as it may stop suddenly or maneuver eradicatily in rural areas.

Key thing is this was dropped in the Friday news dump! Not the Monday morning news feed. May not be as big of a thing than is being blown into! Just wait on the others, (GM, Ford, etc) will be coming down the pipe. No diesel engine is safe from the overlords! Just let the dust settle as it seems...

I use the wifi devices from HF and the Smart Life app to control them. I like the dual switch outdoor plug. Allows 2 devices to be set to different times. The whole wifi smart devices are a game changer for home lighting control. No longer the 24 timers the need reseting after power outages. You...

Get an outdoor wifi plug. You can set time or weather conditions at certain time for it to come on versus being plugged in all night. I've got that for mine and love the convenience of it!

8 ga is a 45 amp wire not 50 amp. I run an ac/dc tombstone on a 30 amp circuit with no issues and have done so for 20 years. Put a 40 amp breaker on that 8 ga and call it good.

Have you checked out infotainment.com? They have a repair service and I think you might be able to order parts from them. Worth checking out.

Just set up a drip boom. Salt is hard on most anything. Have a main valve to turn on and off and the boom to width needed. Make boom in sections to aid in storage. You could make the valve a 12 volt on/off to start and stop. Try to keep simple so the others can also use without much thought or cost.

I think that making a brine solution to apply to the road would help a lot. If to much salt in one place can cause a soft spot and then pot holes! 55 gal barrels or even a 275 gal tote for the brine. If all neighbors have tractors, all would be able to carry for their turn.

Neutral switch is easy check as in it works or doesn't. You'll need a multimeter of some sort to check it. Pto switches are more difficult to check with 5 - 6 wires running through them. Pto is money well spent since you just replace the pto clutch. Like I mentioned, I always replace them in...

Could be the pto switch itself. It's part of the safety circuit. Even though it clicks the pto, the safety part could be bad. Seen that a lot as the current goes through that switch. Every time I replaced a pto, it got pto switch also.

BD diesel makes a 2 low kit for Ram. Wiring, switch and some relays.

Not sure what the voltage is on your motor, but you might want to take a look at this; 90/180 Volt DC Variable Speed Control w/Potentiometer Minarik MM23001C-000D | Motor Speed Controllers | DC Motors | Electric Motors | www.surpluscenter.com Might just solve your issue.

I've got a HF 7 x 12. One of the first things I did was to put screen were I could to keep chips out. I've made some bushings and pins for some clocks I own. Also just make some chips for fun! Great for small items, not gonna turn a cam on one unless for a model. It sounds like it took out a...

I'm leaning towards valve lash adjustment. Tools need other than basic mechanics tools would be a feeler gauge which can be picked up at just about any parts store or a HF. Once you have the specs for valve adjustment, pretty simple job. Hope it's this and not anything more involved!

Mine came from being the top man for my buddies when they were diving. Had to add the z because I used it on the CB and the "s" version was taken. Plus depending on how deep they were diving, it sounded like a "z" on the comms!

Did you buy this new or used? Hopefully it's a simple fix and not require a bunch of parts. The strike still has the parts stuff backed up. Sounds like you also need to invest in a code reader for your truck. May give you some better insight to what may be wrong. I've got a good reader setup for...

Need to check all safety switches along with the pto switch. Any of these will cause no crank. Neutral, brake, seat switches all in the circuit to allow it to start. Sometimes a faulty pto switch can get melted inside to also cause this to happen. Good luck.

Try some spray cooking oil, Pam or equivalent. Or just order a non stick blade. [emoji16]

Agree on HF angle grinders. I too grease the gear box and only smoked one, doing concrete! If you can have a good size blowing dust away from you helps. The new shields with a shop vac do help a great deal.

I've displaced the propane with gasoline exhaust fumes. Old timer used the method for welding on oil tanks and such. On 20 lb tanks, I remove valve and let sit upside down for a couple good hot months and have cut in half with a Sawzall. Just do what you feel comfortable with!

I buy my oil on a 5 gallon pail. Pretty easy to see if it's been tampered with! Saves quite a bit buying this way. Truck takes 3 gallons and the 2 tractors 1 gallon each. Buy 1 a year when on sale and sits in corner till I need it!

Check your input shaft bearing also. Could be throwout or both. How many hours? Is there a lot of rust under the transmission tunnel?

When I'm on the interstates, I've got the cb on to know what's going on. Lot quieter than the day of old! Still plenty of the "big" skip stations blasting through!

To be safe, I'm with others about cribbing under it for the equipment to cross. That would be the safest thing to do short of hiring an engineer to figure the load handling of your bridge.

Battery with solar charger on it. Put an outdoor box and switch on it for the just in case times to turn on and off. That way I'd the switch fails on pump, you have a backup switch. Could also power a small LED light for early or late fill ups.

X2 on thru the glass would be the way to go without drilling any holes. I have CB and GMRS in the truck. Drilled through roof for both. Did in last truck they were in and it never leaked. Every few years, pulled them off and revealed them!

Put a piece of pipe over pins to close the gap.

@isleview, Would a longer cat1 pin work for the QH issue? Or maybe one with longer threads and a spacer block. Just a couple suggestions to look at. Sounds like your new "toy" is working well for you. Also great that ST is stepping up to the plate with their endeavor! Let's hope that continues...

Another overlooked item when a trailer is going down the road, in MD, any dual axle trailer requires a brake break-away device regardless of the GVW of the trailer! Seen way to many with a break-away on trailer with 4 pin flat wiring to tow vehicle. Those are the one to stay clear of! I worked...

Pittsburgh is uphill in just about any direction!

I use a WiFi smart plug for the truck and tractors. That way, I plug them in the night before, then they're programed to come on at certain time and only if temps below set point. That way they're not just coming on. It's a great setup for the truck, as it's the "rescue" vehicle for when the DW...

Might want to check this stuff out; Home Page. It's a bit pricey but is used in the Midwest on many unpaved roads. Just another product to fit the need.

I believe the max on gasoline is 40 gallons do to the volatile nature of it.

@nisaacs funny seeing you over here too! Glad you got the old girl back together!

Time for a trip to the local hydraulic shop or go online. Surpluscenter.com has a good amount of fittings to make adapters or new hoses also. Good luck.

That the nice part about it being inflatable! Provides a cushion but doesn't slide around like you would think. They even come with velcro steps to hold in place if you want.

They also make an inflatable boot for between the truck and cap. Had one many moons ago on a Toyota. Worked great with air flow and kept the noise at bay. Hope this helps.

Check the compression on the cylinder not coming up to temp. A build up of debris around the cylinder head can cause head gasket leak. Having spark is only part of the equation. You need spark, fuel and compression to run. Have also seen the decompression Valves stick open.

That's a good use for a piece of equipment that was sitting around! Nice job!

I have the HF tire changer also! It's a life saver for trailer tires, TPMS and patching. Made a set of cross legs the bolt up on bottom, that way its pretty compact for storage. Thinking of a bubble balancer for the trailer wheels. Order online and install myself!

The other tank is an acetylene plumbers tank, for sweating copper. Yes, you can add check valves. This is the same as a large setup, just portable. As far as your LWS goes, they may or may not fill the tanks. Some won't fill if you didn't buy from them. Are the tanks even current?

The brine used on the roadways has some sort of a byproduct like beets. This acts as a binder on put down before the event to get spread around to help not get caught behind the 8 ball! Sounds like a good idea in theory. Think you would be better off just spreading the rock salt as needed. If...

Over here in the US, if the lights and or plate are obscured, they can be fined. If you were to hit them, their fault as lights can't be seen! That's a big reason I have a dash cam in the truck! Can't argue with the video, just tell me where to email it.

Mac & Cheese with sausage and Tabasco sauce!

Forgot to mention, have a parts and service manual if you need specs or part numbers.

They probably cut the center section do to some interference with the seat. Mine will hit it on a good rut! It is what it is. If you have a welder, maybe put something across there for some support and possibly attach to top of the top link mount. That's the way both of mine are. Can't say that...

Need to have good drainage away from the walls. Maybe need some drain tile installed around the perimeter. No moisture, no heave. Sounds like a great storage barn!

I homebuilt a manual front plow that I can slip on the bottom of the bucket and is held on with a chain binder. That way if I need to move some snow, unhook plow and bucket it out of the way then reattach blade. Use this on a Bolens [Iskei] G1502. Not a factory FEL, come from a Mitsubishi...

Here the other pics.

That's a different bolt up then either of mine. Mine bolts on 3 bolts near those plates. Here's a pic of the bolts used. It's the bolts with spacers on them. Will get pic of the roll over and then of the mounted one. Hope this helps at the moment.

Try some Goof Off. Seems to work when all else has failed. Other than that, get a new dryer.

Glad to see you're getting a new truck! A dually would be the truck for that trailer! There well be more pin weight than you think. Lots of length from pin to axles on trailer.

I finally bit the bullet and bought a tpms tool. Allows me to check the battery, pressure and temp on some sensors! With 3 vehicles, made good sense. Thinking of putting tpms valve stems in the trailer and can do quick check with scan tool!

Not everyone has Facebook to open that link!

Invest in a thread chaser kit along with thread gauges for standard and metric. That way you'll know what it is and be able to fix damaged threads! For that price you could get all 4 items and probably have some change leftover!

One of the biggest differences in modular vs manufactured home is that modular have drywall and manufactured have panels (paneling and the like). Also not a true door that you can just get anywhere on manufactured homes. I can get any of my doors for a lumber yard to the box stores! My modular...

I would drain a bit do to when working it and the heat build up will cause fluid expansion. I'd take it down about 1/2". Do it with a suction gun or syringe. I find the large syringes that TSC sells are very helpful with those issues. Just add a bit of 2 cycle fuel line to get in there. The...

My 4wd one, I got for a good deal do to the input shaft coupler spun and took out the splines! I told seller it could be bearing. Got for under 2k! Took home and found out what was needed. Ordered a couple hundred dollars worth of parts, split tractor and now runs great! Will move loader over...

You'll find a ton of uses once you get it in your hands! A very useful tool and mounting options. I'm using rivet nuts to hold on a remote oil filter mount to the frame of my truck! Jack nuts come in handy also. The are the rubber type that don't require a tool. Not quite as strong a mount but...

That's the factory trailer setup for the "Bug". Allows you to pivot around and drive the trailer to where you need it! The campers they made for them were cool!

That's the boot for sure. I've the AGCO ones in the past. If you went on other side of the country, I've got 2 and probably only going to use 1 on the loader. I can get you measurements to adapt one if needed. Glad to help since slopes are no fun!

When I get back after some travel, I'll get you the part# I have for the shifter boot. I need to order some more since only have 1 left and it needs to go on the 2wd. Glad you got that oil/whatever out! I've been using the TSC Travelers Premium hydraulic fluid in both for years now with no I'll...

Rivet nut would be what you want.

Unfortunately like a lot of family businesses, when the starting family member passes, it goes downhill till they go belly up! Poor money management was their downfall!

I think you and confusing a modular home with a manufactured home! Big difference in the two. A manufactured home is similar to a mobile home. A modular is separate from the trailer were a manufactured home is made to the trailer. A modular home is a lot more robust in its construction do to...

@geoduck, here's one for you rears; BKT AS-504 6.00-16 D/8PLY Tires

It'll fit. I also have a Bolens 1501 gear. Both have rops and the are the same. Can get you pics of mounting if needed. On tires, you can go about 3" wider in width if needed. Since tractors aren't high speed. My 1501 has 10" front and 15" rear. Rear rim is 7 - 8" wide. The tire haven't given me...

A modular home is built inside or at least under a roof and not out in the weather! Seen very few stick built in same price range that can compare to a modular! Yes, there is a give and take on any house built. Some builders do a better job, but that comes at a price!

I'm living in a Nanticoke Modular that was built in '89 and I bought in '94. Better built then stick for sure! Drywall was glued and nailed. Little to none of pops of nails do to gluing. Can't tell from the curb, only way is inside do to marriage wall. Double band board and 2 x 10 floor joist...

Here are pics of the tires and tread pattern on tractor. Different for link but got at same place. Let me know if you need any more info. Then rears at 10.5 wide fit great! Sorry about confusion on link. Still a good tire though. Rears are Deestones.

You better look at what the emissions are, they are Federal! That's the EPA clean air act that you would be up against. There are way to may companies and individuals that wished they hadn't done any deleting! Big fines, trucks impounded and shops aren't allowed to work on them or face large...

I'll get info in am. Raining pretty good at moment.

I stayed with stock rims on my Field Boss 16. R4 front and rear. Found a 12" skid steer tire for the fronts. 10 ply rears and 12 ply front. Have served me well for the past 5 years with great traction and not to harsh on landscaped areas. Found on Simpletire.com. Good pricing and delivered to my...

Shifter knob slips up and off. No threads at all.

Try a ravioli in it and dip in your favorite sauce! Good stuff.

With the magneto charging circuit, a magnet could have come under glued under the flywheel. Have seen that quite a few times. That type of charging circuit doesn't produce a lot of amps anyway. If it's been damaged, then the electric pto will take the charge out of a battery pretty quick! Like...

You could make a mount similar to a rear bagger to hold tank. You just have to consider the weight of sprayer when filled. May also need some front weight pending size of LT and how far back for sprayer. Good luck with project.

Find a plastic barrel and cut it in half length wise. Mount on a sloped rack with end cut to the size that you need to fill cart. JM2C.

Used to have a bunch of that stuff years ago. Square chute snowblower, 30 inch decks, 40 inch deck, tillers, blade and sulky. Mine were the old 7.6 motors! They did the job for what I used them for. Glad you got it figured out.

With chains it'll be closer to 100lbs.

Could be a feed hopper or like you said a crop hopper. Have seen something similar for feeding cattle. Open the hopper doors and drive to lay down feed rows.

Running a diesel out of fuel is a time consuming repair as the pump, lines all need to be bled. Not sure about what else on a newer tractor with emissions. Fuel storage is pretty simple issue. Find the size tank you'd want and set it up as a gravity fueling. Use the loader to place on rack to...

Might want to check out Central Georgia Generators. Just Google them for web site. They have pto kits for good prices. I'm thinking of getting one through them.

Use hot glue stick to coat the splice and the slide heat shrink over it. When heat applied, seals it up tight! This way I always have the right size heat shrink.

Practice is the key. Also remember to run a bead before you start to weld on repair just to get the feel going again. Otherwise your doing great and it will get better!

Flip the rim if turf tires. If ag tires, they'll need to be dismounted to keep rotation correct. The rim is dished more on one side then the other.

Didn't know a skin healing aid cleaned engines!

We're the wire goes through the front drive shaft is a roll pin that needs to be driven out! Ask me how I know! Had to replace input shaft and coupler on a tx1500.

I agree that a pto pump would push the whole unit to far back. Since you still have your tools, could you make a manifold to pull hydraulic from and then return into trans? This is what I had to do with my Iseki when added FEL. Also made sub frame from front back to rear axle. Did this with a...

You can make anything fit with time and steel. You'll want to make a sub frame to hold it together. I would make it so that you use the stabilizers would pick it up and use bucket to push into place on mount. Don't rely on the 3 point to hold it. I put a Mitsubishi loader on an Iseki.

How about a lanyard type safety switch like used on boats and jet skis? That way you can move around on seat without it cutting off but if we're to fall of, would kill the tractor. JM2C.

I think a dump trailer would be a better option. A tooth bar really helps with digging and a dump trailer would have other uses as well.

Just throwing this out there, is there a snowplow shop that you'd be able to get used plow edges from close by? Might be able to haul them away free of charge.

Be careful when loading up! Real easy to overload a dump trailer and especially on the tongue! Is there a scale nearby that you can check empty and full? That way you can see how the truck sits and tows. Yes, I would have to tongue higher empty so that it sits as close to level as possible when...

I would suggest getting a camera and monitor setup. You could mount camera on tractor behind seat or in cab if equipped. Monitor can be mounted wherever works the beat for you. That to me would allow you to keep an eye on things without having to look over your shoulder.

Pretty easy to figure out. Cab, wheel base length, 2wd or 4wd and trans + axle ratio combo gives what you can tow and numbers on the left are the total weight of vehicle contents and trailer weight and load. GCWR = gross combined weight ratio. You have to figure the weight of truck and the...

Garden sprayer works great for applying Purple Power or other of your choice. When that's done, rinse sprayer and use clean water to rinse off the engine. Small controlled spray and won't produce high pressure issues. Just my .02.

Most dash cams have a lock button to keep that footage from being overwritten. I've got a 128gb and hit button then pull off when back home. Have 2 so just play switch with them, that way always a card in it!

Do you have your browser set to block pop ups? That's what that looks like.

In some states you can get a non commercial CDL if you'll be over 26,001 GVW on a truck and trailer combo. I could see quite a few that wouldn't be able to pass it. That's why they class the RV's like they do ( Class A , Class C). Biggest thing missing is common sense and time allotment!

Been taking it about 6 months. Do feel better and haven't had the sinus issues that I'd be fighting all the time. Yes could try to eat better. But that can be difficult at times. If you do the math on what your getting vs. the expense of the fruits and vegetables, it averages out. Have noticed...

You could purge the can with a hose on the exhaust of a gasoline engine. That way you could then pass a flame by the opening to see if vapors are still present. Have used this technique to weld on a fuel oil cell. Prop the cap open at all times during the repair. Get some good soldering paste...

Grab a buddy and do a road trip! There's nothing cheap about getting anything shipped with fuel, insurance and all the other stuff. If you already have a truck and trailer to haul it, go get it and enjoy the scenery to and from. Maybe make it a mental health trip!

Use a regular grease gun tip, just don't wrench it tight onto the gun hose. That way you can loosen the tip and release the pressure to remove from fitting. Since putting this trick into play, makes greasing equipment much easier and haven't broken a fitting! Or just replace zero with the ball...

Definitely don't serve to avoid an animal. A buddy did many years back and the wood stove in the back of the suburban rocked up and took out the back window! Insurance didn't pay a dime! It was close to $300 way back then. Small critters crossing, I won't even brake due to possibility of being...

When I worked at a dealership, any type of water leak was a sublet to a bodyshop and warranty paid whatever they charged. Warranty like that better as bodyshop had lower hourly rate!

Here's one from Southern MD, a bit different from their western cousins!

He's got an Etsy store - Dirty Irish Blades. Or Google Dirty Irish Blades to find his stuff. Wish I had that type of talent that these guys put into their blades!

Bullbreaker, he's been at this for 4-5 years now and is his therapy! Most of his blades are made from commercial mower blades! Some even have a tungsten cutting edge he works into the cutting edge of knife. I'm working on him to fashion me an oyster knife like he made his neighbor. Told him no...

Here's what my buddy has made. He's also melted and poured the aluminum and brass for hilt and handles. Getting better with every blade!

Way off topic now!

Check out Black Star at www.mrochem.com. might work for what you need. Have used on truck frame rust with great sucess.

To access your "own severs", can't you create a VPN to access then? I know there are ways since companies have this type of setup.

If 50' from post panel, just run a 20amp and what you need for hvac from there. No different than in house with panel on opposite side. As long as proper gauge wire for loads and length and you said was temporary. If you had a sub panel laying around, use it. Not sure if a local code would need...

That endorsement is for commercial drivers. If she was in private vehicle, not needed. Probably a farmer and needed for tractors. New tractors burn a lot of DEF!

Scaredychicken, get yourself a couple hiking poles. They work well outside and have the height that adjusts to what you want. I use them when outside since I also walk with a cane. Like the fact that you can push tip in for balancing yourself. Find that it lays across the loader arms on tractor...

Biggest problem started when they went to a single line in the parking spaces from double to squeeze in 2 more spots!

You can put a heli-coul in valve cover bolt hole to fix that issue. Would be worthwhile to see if you can get the Honda working. If you had already budgeted for the other motor, put on the shelf if you get Honda running. Money in the bank down the road if it goes belly up on you. Who knows...

Some states may not do diesel emissions, but if your truck is smoking and on an Interstate, DOT can stop you and enforce the Federal emissions that the truck is to conform to when built. They're cracking down on the "deleting" of diesel trucks. Do at your own peril. Fines and cost of returning...

I take an old piece of hose and run rv antifreeze and a touch of MMO through pump at end of season. Prevents freezing and adds lubrication at same time. JM2C.

I think it depends on your state. There's intrastate and interstate. One not crossing state lines which is where the federal law applies the most. Then There's where you don't cross state lines and don't use the interstates. Yes, gray area for sure! Sometimes you just need DOT numbers as long as...

Check out www.pressurewasherdirect.com. CAT pumps have great flow and pressure specs.

I've got a 2014 DRW Tradesman with the 68rfe and love it. 4.10 rear. Just over 20k for the trailer rating. 165k on the clock without anything major. You'll like which ever flavor you get!

Forgot to mention to tether the plug so that you don't lose it in the tank. Also you won't forget to replace when done fueling.

Remember to not sharpen like a knife. Just take out the rock hits or the edge folds over and is a pain to dress up!

Could this be modified to work? Magnetic Cup Holder, Black You could attach a phone case to it and you're in business!

Look at Black Star. No top coat needed. Very environmentally friendly. Can be brushed, garden sprayer or roller. Been good for me.

I turned a piece of aluminum and cut groove for o-ring to fit in nozzle. Keeps things out and diesel from dipping on truck from transfer tank. I've got a 100 gal mounted in truck!

The 3500 don't have the steering box issues like the 1500s do. The alignment is issue as probably not set to Thuren specs. To much toe from the factory. I have both 1500 and 3500. One is y style drag link and other is continuous drag link. 157k isn't much on a 3500 diesel that's been cared for...

Chainsaw holder!

Unless tank states for flammable fuel, don't do it! Most tanks are for combustible fuels. Plus most states limit the amount of gasoline you're allowed to transport in a portable tank. Check DOT and local laws concerning transportation of gasoline.

Not always. My 2014 Ram 3500 is hot all the time. Most newer trucks have the hot constant for lights in a trailer and keeping break-away battery charged when hooked to truck.

A conabear on each end of a 8 -12 inch corrugated pipe works great! Put pipe out where they can use for security, then put traps on each end! Found this out after watching one use culvert to travel. Went in and I put trap at one ent and blocks at other end. Waited and only had 20 minute wait...

How would you put emissions on a volcano ? They are and have always been the biggest polluter on the planet! Eruptions happen 24/7/365! I'm just saying.

I'll 2nd the Ni-Copper lines! That stuff is great to work with! Just did all lines on my '01 1500 Ram. Was a pleasure to work with.

Sun glare

I'd make up a new "sub frame" trailer with the same quick connects so that it could still be used with your Branson. Like others have said, counter weight is needed! Could be concrete, steel or whatever your have. I'd do it in a heart beat!

The easiest is just split the tractor. Just block up and split as designed to do. Any other way will take much longer. I've split mine and back in an afternoon with no shop to work in. Can find some clutch kits on Ebay.

Time is money! Just buy or rent a mixer for the job. Under $300 at Harbor Freight and works decent. Find a unit on FB or CL. If I needed one more then I do, I'd get a 3p pto driven one. No cords, portable and no motor to worry about!

Sounds like pto clutch about to go belly up. Charging is under flywheel. That's what's called a stator. Only puts out 3 - 15 amps tops. If pto clutch does die or find its the problem, replace the pto switch also. Better to do at same time to avoid more issues. Good luck.

As for RFID to open the shop door, I'd rather just do Bluetooth!

Venting and amount of gasoline that you're allowed ti carry at any point in your area. Aluminum is used due to not sparking issue! Gasoline is flammable were diesel is combustible. Big difference between the two types of fuel. That why I can carry 100 transfer tank full of diesel on my truck but...

What about a pvc pipe cap? Installed many a seal with some sort of pvc pipe. Or maybe an oil filter cup wrench. Good luck, dealing with one in a Case 1830 Skidsteer. Glad it's not mine, I'd drop a small diesel in it!

If you ever need to check for leaks, get a 2" pipe plug and a 2" plastic barrel bung. Put pipe plug in one opening and install tire valve stem in plastic bung. Install bung in other opening and add 2 - 3 psi of air. Spray a soap and water mix along all seams and around openings. Did this on mine...

It's working

The Toyota won't pull that trailer with 1 bucket full let alone putting 2 on it! Brakes would help with the stopping of trailer when loaded or it will push you over road edge or through stops and turns. What you want to do needs a 3/4 - 1 ton truck(2500 - 3500). No way with Toyota Suv!

The Echo CS310 is a nice saw! Have one that rotates between 12 - 16 inch bars. Great for all small jobs. As stated, starts better hot when others may fuss. Limping up with it is well worth having. The one handed handle makes the job easy! Also have 2 CS400's for the bigger problems. Echo's get...

Look at the tongue, not going anywhere!

With fuel $ and the fact that you haven't been able to see them in person, it'll be cheaper in the long run to do it yourself. That way you kick the tires and do look over. Only way to do without in person, you'd need to contract someone to do hands on and then costs continue to rise. Your money...

Attachment not work well this am.
