Any suggestions on what printer will print at a $$ amount that doesn't break the bank? I am growing so tired of being ripped off by the printing companies and high price for ink. Ink jet is worst. I got a Lexmark that I got a total of 14 copies and the machine says low ink. New ink will cost...

I was impressed with the wealth of info this group offered on creating a web site. However, here's a harder question. What suggestions does the group have on creating a shopping card? The cart should be done as cheaply as possible. The thinking here is to buy cart software and add credit...

I have a home network with 4 computers linked. The computers talk peer to peer. Just installed a printer and I can only print from the computer that is hard wired to the computer. The other computers can see the printer but cant print on printer. I see the printer and click on the printer in...

I have AT & T air card. So often I get a message OFF LINE. I check and the connection is good. Iam wondering if AVG is causing me all my problems. Then again, I have Windows Vista and I hate that too. It sure isn't XP Pro. I shoud have bought my laptop from Dell as they offered XP when the...

Happy new year! I have a 24 1/2 by 27 1/2 window broken. (that's the glass size) It's double pane and the window will tilt in and pull out with a couple tabs slid over. The window is the kind that slides up to open. I guess a glass guy could fix it. I'm wondering if Lowes or some store like...

I posted a thought that gas will again return to mid $2 range. It was a good discussion. Many, however, thought that's impossible. Some thought otherwise. Of course all would be happy to see lower price oil. Over the years a big boom in any industry seems to be followed by a bust. Dot com...

Hi all As discussed before the 4110 seems to get radiator crapped up and machine seems to run hot. Mine did that. Anyway, I also had a radiator leak. I tried the stop leak and limped on for a season. The leak got worse. So, I bit the bullet and took the rad off and sent it off to get fixed...

I believe air card is what I want. Just in case I have wrong name; I want to be able to get on net from my laptop while traveling and not at home. I am thinking I could get something from AT&T or other phone company. Does anyone have any suggestions on what companies are best today? Any ideas...

I wonder; Do the Mahindras or any of newer machines have to have something added to fuel. Is there an additive that the fuel already has in it? How would you know if there was something already in it? Is it just a waste of time and money to get such additives? What does additives help...

Hi all It seems like the animal was in pool for a few days as he was bloated and it smelled bad under solar cover. Question; My daughter believes if the hog had rabies then it will never be safe to swim in pool. I believe a good shock treatment of the water will kill any bad stuff that could...

I just heard about some city that is letting farmers grow some kind of grass on public land to be used for bio fuel. It was a radio thing and I didn't catch it all. In fact I might have gotten it all wrong. Now I'm wondering, are there any new plants that could be grown cheaper than corn and...

Saw this in Thursday news paper. Gee. As soon as the oil companies hear about this the gas prices will plunge fast. Sometime I really love the news. Cheers....Coffeeman

I wondered what hours would indicate a worn out tractor. I have a Farmall Super C and I can't begin to guess the hours. I don't run it much. I also have a Mahindra and wonder the hours when considered worn out? As cars in the "old" days, 100,000 miles and look for a new one. Now that just...

After the fact, but?? I bought Fox Carbide go-kart from TSC last weekend. I did it on impulse and was an upgrade for my grandson. He already has a small Fox kart and it runs good. I was wondering if anyone has had one and has any idea what we will have to look forward to in good or bad service...

Hi all Think pipes! My lane is 1/2 mile and has given me trouble for 30 yrs. 30 "experts" have done remodeling of road and no idea has worked good. Recently, I had road redone again, but company used 3 well placed pipes to cross the water under road. No more wash outs and so far this rain...

I posted on this in November last. Got many good ideas from getting a generator powered by gas to putting a gas heater in each air handler in my electric heat pumps. I heat now with electric heat pumps. We also discussed using excess gas to power a car. I want to use as much of the free gas that...

They plan to use it to fuel their Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles. I know, most here think that hydrogen is just a impossible pipe dream. As usual though, I have faith that the doom and gloom folks will be surprised someday. It ain't as bad as they think. Of course there are many backyard...

it's beem discussed how the 4110 gets a clogged radiator while mowing high grass. Of course mowing in rain works. I haven't looked at this yet, but a friend suggested that I might be able to turn the fan backwards and blow air from back to front, as I believe many of the big machines do...

Today I took the advice of folks here and the owners manual for my 840 Woods brushhog. I took the slop clutch loose and checked it; it may seize over winter. I haven't checked this thing in the 3 years I have had it. Clutch wasn't seized. It took about an hour and a half. Next time will be...

I seem to remember; Standard oil in early 1900s was not allowed to fix and control pricing of oil. I don't know if I have the name right but I think the idea is correct. What is the difference between Standard and the oil producers of today fixing prices. The big users of oil should file suit...

Can a boxblade be adjusted to crown a road? I'm refering to a plain boxblade. I noticed an extra hole on 3 point hitch that seems like the boxblade might be higher on one side if one side of attachment is moved to the higher spot. I don't have any idea if this would work or would I break or...

Hi all Is there anyplace to look over an online owners manual for Mahindra? I'm sad to say, I lost 2 of these things. They are not cheap. I don't usually lose these things. Heck, I have my manual for my 154 Lo-Boy and that's nearly 60 years old. From time to time I want to check over manual...

Hi all Back in fall I posted a problem with Caddy starting to miss only when it ran over 40 or 50 miles. It never lit a check engine lite. No codes in computer. I was never stuck because I'd let it set a short time and would start and run sometime rough and sometime run as though nothing was...

My 4110, glo plug light doesn't light when I turn key to left. I do hear a relay click in. How would I check it? I tried to start the machine tonite for first time this season. Kept in heated garage all winter and couldn't start as battery ran down. The battery was charged up pretty good as...

Hi all. I read with interest all of the posters. They all seemed right to me. I also seen something, on the news, about a ray gun or lazer gun that's being expermented with. Some kind of heat thing causes the shootee to be burned with heat but causes only pain and no damage. It's like...

I cleaned up an old C that sat for 15 yrs without running. Threw a little oil in engine and rebuilt the carb. Put some power to it and it fired right up. Sat outside for all those years. Put new rims and tires and seat on it and painted it. Should have checked the base bolts that the seat is...

Hi all I have a 1994 Cadillac with 205,000 miles. Ran perfect till a miss developed. Not always but when it missed it stayed missing. Replaced wires and plugs. Also coil pack or coil, which ever it is. Fuel filter and thermostat too. Also replaced water pump. Someone suggested it was getting...

Hi all I have a gas well that is being drilled on my property near my house. The gas allowance for my use is 250,000 cubic feet.(I believe) I am wondering if this gas allocated for home heating could be used to power a car or truck? My house is heated with electric heat pumps. I hate to...

I just returned from a 4 day week end to Dover for races. Went in basement to turn water back on and next to shut off was a 2 - 3 foot snake skin. It wasn't there on Thursday morning. Could I take skin and identify kind of snake? I'm thinking health department or game warden? Will snake...

Hi all I just found out golf carts are fun to ride when camping or just around house. Where have I been the last bunch of years? I'm no golfer so golf carts are new to me. What is a good brand of golf cart? Where could one get used ones, at reasonable price; of course. I have heard the...

Hi all My nephew said he just heard on the radio that Al uses more energy in his home than a small town uses. I was wondering if he heard right, if it was some radio dj doing some kind of a joke or was it true. Cheers

Hi all Just read a story about many $$ spent to replace sand on some beaches. They talked about the waste of $$ because some plans didn't work. I wonder, why is it important to attempt to keep all things the same? Why preserve beaches? Why preserve wetlands? Why is change bad? Just a think...

Just got a REI Fendermount Radio. I never had radio on any farm or other equipment; except car and trucks. However, since this is a gift for fathers day from the grand kids, I will be enjoying the sounds of music tomorrow afternoon. They and my son-in-law, in fact, will be installing my new...

Hi all I have a burgler alarm in my house. It's no ADT etc. It's simple system I got 4-5 yr ago. I have a few wireless sensors that see the intruder and dials my cell phone and 2 other phones. It leaves a recording on 3 dialed numbers of intruder message. Alarm dials one and if no answer...

As the price of gas goes up the ideas start flowing. I sometime suspect a solution for energy to power cars will come out of left field. It will be so simple that folks will wonder why it hadn't been thought of before. How's this for an idea? India's largest automaker will sell 6000 cars next...

Hi all Is there an easy way to grease the back U-joint on driveline of Woods 840 brush hog? I have safety guard on and it's hard to guide the grease gun to the fitting. Also, I cant really see if fitting is taking grease. Is it easier to take guard off and how would one do that? Or is there...

Hi all It is amazing. I have read many posts and posted many questions. What a smart group! Good solid answers about any subject. if someone doesn't answer it exactly right another will suggest the better or correct answer. We can depend on 99.99% of answers, after all the posts are in. It...

Heard a news cast today about oil producers noticed less oil use than they expected in last few months. One producer says they may invest less in new production.They mentioned China is using more and they are taking up slack for now. They believe the use is off because of alternative fuels. I...

Or is it the other way around? Some want to take all the guns away because it's the guns fault when someone is shot. So the gun did it. Using this thought, the gun did it; the next time I want to miss a bank payment I tell the banker I don't have to pay. I'll just simply remind him, I didn't...

Hi all Is it possible to switch car to natural gas? Can one use gas from a gas well to run a car? Instead of using gas allocated for home heating could it be used in the cars? I was told, all I would need is some kind of a compressor and a filter and once car is switched I would be good to go...

Hi there Here we go again. Guy claims to improve gas milage about 25% extracting hydrogen from water as we drive. I guess it's a scam. What do you folks think? BMC Introduces the H²O Atomizer Something is gonna happen in the form of a breakthrough. There are a lot of people now working on...

Hi all I got a slight leak in the radiator of my tractor. Has anyone used some kind of stop leak? Did it work? What has anyone tried? Cheers.....Coffeeman

Hi all Got this flat front tire on front of tractor. The tire is sepearated from the bead so I can't air it up to see where the leak is. I thought I could plug the hole. So I started thinking and that is a bad move for me. I remember reading about someone seating the bead with starting...

Hi all Audie Murphy, most decorated in WW II. I just visited a web site with lots of info. It's worth a visit. To me interesting info. One thing that surprised me is he must have joined the Army when he was 16. He was born in 1924 and might still be alive today if he didn't die in a plane...

Hi all I guess there is no issues with the new fuel in our Mahindras. Am I thinking right? Cheers...Coffeeman

I was wondering if it would save $$ to change to diesel from gas when replacing gas vehicles? I use three vehicles that probably run about 800 miles each per week. With the high cost of diesel and the extra cost of diesel vehicles how much do they save? Does it cost more for maintenance of...

Hi all Other night I was driving home and a cow walked out on road; rural back road. I swerved and stopped. Tthe cow, more like a 3/4 grown steer, panics and hits my car. Runs right into side like a scared deer. He's stunned, shakes himself and lumbers down the road in front of me. My car...

Since I have nothing better to do tonight, except watch Oscars, I've been thinking. Buying foreign products saves us $$ at first. We get inferior products while enriching the foreign producers and workers. Suddenly these foreign folks gain new wealth. Now they get a good pay and what do they...

Merry Christmas (or happy holidays) I'm just looking out at a gas can now. It's in a place where the rain is hitting empty can. Everytime I use an old plastic can I think of those tin or metal, dented, rusty old leakers we used over the years. I have even heard plastic is safer than metal...

Just heard about a hydrogen car made by Honda. In limited production by 09 or there about. The real thing here is Honda is working on a little hydrogen plant that can be a home model. I guess it's the long way around because you will not see big oil promoting this fuel. I read it would be...

When oil goes up so high things change. One thing I think we under estimate is the amount saved by buyers exchanging big 4 wheel drives for small vehicles. If only 10% of the (would have been 4 wheel drives) are converted, at trade in, to 25 - 30 mpg cars the savings in gas has to be in 10s of...

Just went over to TYM site. Not sure which, but it was the one with 0% interest for selected models. Question; which TYM is the sister to the 4110? One thing interesting over there. I was able to start a download of operators manual for the machine that looks like mine. Mahindra never used to...

Would the 4110 ride a lot better if I had water in wheels? Decided to do a fast cut on my grass tonite. Most rough spots I know and slow down to idle as I coast thru. Sometime don't slow fast enough. Bounce bounce bounce ....probably cut too fast andshook tractor loose. Now I have a kink in...

Ain't that something. Heard on news; best quarter ever. Shoulda bought some stock. Cheers....Coffeeman

Just reading and thinking. My father drove till he was in his 80s. One day I was visiting and he was returning from his daily run into town for lunch. He pulls into his driveway and I was right behind him. I walked over to his car and he was doing something in front seat. He drove a big Chevy...

Probably the first mistake I made is consulting operator manual. Book says: 1. Drain oil from left and right drain plugs. 2. Replace and check plugs. 3. Fill with new oil to the correct level in the filler hole. Book calls for 2.32 gal oil. The tractor has...

Hi all, I have a covered wooden pavillion. I have a snake living under there. I'm going to guess others might live under there. I really have heard how "good" snakes are, but having a snake come out with guests over an a Sunday afternoon might not go over well. Also, I don't like them. I am...

We have a local chain of gas & grocery stores. They have at least 100 locations. Today they offered e85 for $2.57. The, all gas, gas was at $2.77. Guess what? If I had a car that would run that e85 I would be the first in line. Cheers.....Coffeeman

I just cut about 40 acres of heavy brush and small trees. I was a little worried at first. The BB is 1280 pounds and the machine makes the front wheels of tractor lift from too much weight while lifting the cutter. But, not being the smartest person in the world, I forged on. Didn't get any...

Hi all Hit a chunk of iron tonight. The cutter stopped fast. I shut down pto. Pulled iron out and noticed one of the two blades was moved out of way and stopped over the round disk blades bolted to; moved about 60 degrees and out of cutting path. Looked in the manual and got no idea what to...

Have a hill next to driveway. Want to plant something that will take no maintence and keep away weeds. When to the local big box (Lowes) and they said they don't sell crown vetch anymore. That's what I was going to use. They had some suggestions, but I thought I'd check here first. Of course...

I just used brush hog to cut about 15 acres. Lots of small trees. I imagine about a 1000 small animals are having a town meeting and have put out a contract on me for slashing their homes and kicking them out of town. i was thinking a simple attachment like a cow catcher would be nice when...

Just realized it. Mowing into dark and switched lights on, "hey, where's my rear light?" I guess rear light is an extra? Cheers....Coffeeman

Still reading the Mahindra manual. The manual says don't mount or dismount tractor from right side? I most always use the left side. I don't know why. The tractor seems to be just as easy to mount from either side. What would the safety reason be? Do other brands mention this...

Hi all Just reading that operators manual and came across the note on warm up. They suggest cold starts above 50 F; you should let engine warm up 5- 10 min. Start up at 50 F to 32 F calls for 10 - 20 min. and more for colder. If it's 50 - 60 I'll give it a min. or two and I'm off at an easy...

Hi all Can anyone guess if this sounds ok. When cruising along with rotary cutter running I hear a whine in pto. About 1/2 speed not much load hit a bump and err..err..err...err...err. Sounds like an old manual trans pickup as it lobs over a hill and sort of coasting on level. When I shut...

Hi all How do you save a portion of previous post to the posting section when answering post? Cheers...Coffeeman

Just came from Sams Club. Cooking oil about $2.50 a gallon. I would guess Diesel is right around there or maybe a little cheaper. I have seen those stories about people using old cooking oil to run their cars. One guy says his car runs better on old french fry oil rather than diesel. An extra +...

Happy holidays to all First and most important for me was watching kids and grandkids open gifts today. Family together on Christmas is important to me. Starting at about 11 am in morning and untill about 2pm. Lots of people and noise. Then the idea came to me. It's up to 40 degrees and the...

It\'s 14 degrees and going lower It a little quiet here in Mahindra land. So....a queation. I feel sorry for my Mahindra in the cold. I wonder if I should take a couple electric blankets and warm up Mahindra. My old buddy is freezing. Might have to build a garage in spring. Cheers.....Coffeeman

Hi all Just redid a Farmall C that sat for years. Got it running and cleaned and painted it up. Runs like a clock. Even got a new seat, tires and one new rim. Used it with a sickle bar for most of summer. One day while mowing, the base that holds the seat came loose. Driver was going up hill...

A few weeks ago i was wondering what I might use to smooth a large section of land to plant grass. I got a lot of good suggestions right here. Thought I'd pass along what I did. Disked the land real smooth. Bought an old 10 foot wide disk for $100. Must have been made in the 50s. Bearings...

Hi all I was wondering if I should use 4 wheel drive always while in field. I guess pulling a disk or a big brush hog in not so smooth soil would be a good idea to use. How about when pulling finish mower on level ground? Would it be less wear and tear to take out of 4 wheel drive position...

Hi all I get a little sad to see the jobs all going out of the country. As an old dog it still bothers me. Heck, I have never bought a foreign car yet. Of course I'd bet my good old USA ride has a lot of foreign parts. By the way, I'm an American car hold out, but I have a Mahindra...
