Get this: Ordered a clutch disc & release bearing for a Shibaura Ford yesterday at 5:20PM. Home for lunch and it's sitting on the porch already! Wow!:)

I have used their batteries in my vehicles, but has anyone used Interstate for Hilti 24V tools? They are having a good sale and the price for the TE-2-A battery was too good to pass up. Love my Hilti stuff but they're too proud of their batteries, IMO.

I have used these two services to save hundreds on tiny IC's for repairing expensive PTZ-IR cameras as well as getting really cheap prices on knock-off fuel injectors. Has anyone ever considered getting a pool together to get 10 Foton, crated, tractors and the shipping container? Buying a full...

This morning, just as I was setting up a temporary circuit for the "Shared Neutral Testing," I get a call from one of my son's friends. They were at the Rowlett Creek Preserve mountain bike trail. My son had told me yesterday he and the friend were going there to log some miles. The friend was...

Another mobile home caught fire down the street. Window unit overloaded the cheap IDC 110V electrical outlet. Pretty much every mobile home uses IDC for electrical. Those should be outlawed.

Does this forum have a stolen property ongoing (sticky) thread? I think it would be a good idea to have a database with pictures of stuff that people here are missing. Rural crime is going to be getting a lot worse and local law enforcement is about worthless for tracking stuff down.

With all the rain my trees overwhelmed us this year. We've eaten about 20lb so far and given away about 40lb to friends & family. There is at least a hundred pounds worth still ripening. We need to freeze them. Suggestions?

I'm trying so hard to be multicultural. Have you ever endured eight, solid hours of booming, oom-pah, Hispanic music? It is 1:30 AM! Used to be sooooo peaceful out here. Behind the tents, the lights, the band and their 500 watt amplifiers, is a lovely lime-green, 1988 mobile home. Restored to...

Any other baseball fans notice this? TV ads on MLB games are pricey.

Six hours digging, two hours talking old times, and an hour and a half to move the dirt to form a berm, install a 15" culvert and cover it with dirt. But as I said the other day this guy is a good neighbor. Trench= 60' long, 4' wide (up to the culvert) and about two-and- a half feet deep on...

5 years ago I would have never even considered using the backhoe for a small job like this, but the roots proved overpowering for my shovel......... and my back.

Well that wasn't too bad. And it looks like I beat the return of the Texas monsoons. 1/4 mile road shared by 4 families and it's always been my responsibility to build it and maintain it. Glad I got a Ford. Never missed a day's work in 32 years (4,443 hrs). Now I get to hitch up the Liberty...

1958. I remember it well. I talked my mom into giving me the 79 cents for the exquisitely painted, red and gray, wind-up tractor at M.E. Moses. It was just beautiful. It lasted all of two days. Sand in the transmission. Call it owner abuse, but with less than 2 hours on it I was not a happy Ford...

To me, the price of OEM parts for these machines is ridiculous. Worse than way back when I had an inboard/outboard motorboat. It's all about demand and there are just too many old Boomers riding tractors for fun. So jobbers price the parts as they would for a recreational vehicle. My "tongue in...

Hi guys and girls. I have been reading this forum for about 6 months and decided to join. I am semi-retired and enjoy tinkering with old stuff. I've had the same Ford tractor for 30 years (bought new in 1983) and it's never missed a day on the job- and never been a day in the dealership. To say...
