while in lowes yesterday my pops picked up a can of cpvc glue instead of pvc glue. The "ingrediants" all all the same except the last line, my question is..... Is there any real difference? will cpvc glue work on pvc? or do I have to throw it away? I have absolutely no need for cpvc.

We are having all the stumps dug out at the farm. Loggers took 200 + pines and there were many stumps left from before. the water line was cut 5 times in one day. The pvc was run about 3 inches below the surface and meandered around trees and the old curves in the previous road. I now can run a...

I have been using my buddy's 27 ton troy built log splitter from Lowes. It has the honda motor. Its a great machine but it is very loud. I am thinking there should be a generator muffler that would bolt right on. Honda has the quietest generators so why not use that muffler on this log splitter...

70 years since Pearl Harbor. Im only 45 but heard both my grandfathers told me storys of when they heard the news. And of going down the next day and enlisting. Thanks to anyone who fought for this great country.

I have done several searches, got lots of mixed info. heres what I have, what I need is real life experiences, and any long term fixes. a log pushed through the grill of a Kubota L2900. It punctured the battery, then pushed the battery against the radiator. It did not puncture the radiator...

I am installing a 50 amp 220 plug for an RV. from my main Power 200 amp box I have attached 6ga wires to the lugs on the bus bar. these go to the double 50 amp gfci breaker lugs. The white wire in my main power box is connected to the same connections as ground, there is not a seperate neutral...

I know its not a tractor but want to draw on this wealth of knowledge. I am helping troubleshoot a RV generator made by Oran. It starts fine runs good but runs for 30 minutes and shuts off. if you start it back up it runs good for 30 minutes then shuts off. anybody ever had this issue? any...

My parents called me yesterday and said they got a settlement check for the two lawnmowers I bought them. if you filled out a claim(way back like a year ago) check your mail box.

Any suggestions on where to find a plain old fashion belt tightener? I have a air compressor that the belt is slipping. Grand pa had a tool that looked like a turn buckle. you put one side against the compressor head, the other against the motor. loosen the motor mounting bolts, turn the buckle...

I spent a large part of the weekend at my buddy Johns, repairing a set of disc harrows. 8 new bearings, weldup all the grooves in the axle shafts and replace some rusted or broken bolts. went relatively painless. we pulled one shaft apart to get the bearings to take to the parts house and to...

Saturday was supposed to be corn planting day, rain had other ideas. So we did a little maintenace on the JD 5205. put in a new battery, washed it, greased it, and lubed all the 3 point connections. Then we hooked it to the old ford 4000 that hasnt moved in 3 or 4 years. Tried jumping it off...

After watching, reading and hearing about all these people that are in runaway cars, that get on cell phones, call 911, ect. when the car reaches what I consider fast hwy speed;) every one says they pushed on the brakes, or used the "EMERGENCY" brake.. My truck doesnt even have one of those...

Not anything to loose sleep over but I have a thought provoking question. My grandpappy taught me to never buy fuel right after or during the time the tank is getting filled. Always wait and let the shat settle to the bottom he would say. Well what about in a truck or at tractor? I (right or...

This will probably get moved but wanted it up where it could get seen for a while. I am not a marine but every year I take my buddy, a retired marine out and get him liquored up enough that he thinks he in Tuns Tavern. So to any and all of his leather neck bretheren Happy Birthday.

I just changed the fuel filters on my 07 powerstroke truck. same interval as always, and the fiter was twice as dirty. I am guessing that with the fuel shortage from hurricane season either I got fuel from the bottom of a tank. or got fuel just after the tanker refilled a empty tank and stirred...

I may have to cut 1/2 inch off the threaded end of a cyl. is there anything special I need to worry about? or just whack it off? I think my air cut off tool will cut it but was wondering about a sawzall with a tungsten carbide blade. This is not on a tractor its on a big paper cutter.

I need someone to smack me in the back of the head. My dad called me a couple a days ago and said his "Tractor" wasnt running right. After making sure all the tractors were in the barn where they belong I headed to his house to fix his riding lawn mower!!! Its got a 18.5 B&S and it was...

I didnt want to hijack the other air thread, but I was wondering how many of y'all have the compressor and tank mounted outside, and fittings plumbed all around the garage? I helped a buddy install his a few years ago. We used pvc pipe and it works fine, no noise to listen to. And no heat being...

sorry guys Im experimenting on how 2 share pics.

I just got a letter from ford, my 2007 warranty just got even better. 100,000 mile diesel, with no deductable, powertrain to 60,000 instead of 30,000. road side assistance got upped to but I dont remember how much.(yes I can change my own tires, but when its 100 degrees and Im wearing a shirt...

I get to sit back in the shade drinking a cold one while all of the northern boys talk about snow plows, shovels, blowers, chains, and such. I thought I was gonna need some of that stuff but then I realized I was just drunk and had knocked the cooler over and spilled the ice:D :D seriously, I...

I know there are a few machanics on here, whats the concencious on ceramic brake pads? These are not for my super duty, but for the daughters 05 4runner. light towing, maybe a 4 wheeler, or an implement that wont fit on the big trailer with everything else. Mainly she complains about the...

Well I out smarted myself again. I went to load my 10000 lb forklift on to my trailer to carry it to the shop and have a blown hyd cyl repaired. The cyl was flooding oil onto the front (drive) wheel making it imposible to get traction to back lift onto trailer. so I turned truck and trailer...

I admit it I was that guy this weekend. I am always very adamant about trailer safety. I see more stuff pulled around here with no tie down chains, junk looking trailers etc. I have access to several trailers to haul the tractor on from a 24' goose neck that I have to use my buddies truck...

I saw in the paper that TSC got approval for a new store in Tallahassee Fla. About a mile from my office. Maybe I wont have to go to Georgia quite as often.

Sorry Im being lazy here, I dont have my owners manual here and dont know if it would help me or not. My 2910 clutch pedal engages after about a 1/2" or 1" from the "floor" I see how to adjust the turn buckle but it is screwed in all the way. If you try and screw it any more you cant put the...

I just bought a 2007 F250 SD crewcab 4wd with a powerstroke. I replaced my 2500 with it. I figured out how to turn off the seatbelt reminder and disabled the auto doorlocks but is there an easy way to kill the chime that rings when you leave the key in the switch? on my chevy you could pull the...

Well we figured out what went wrong with our corn planting last year. We carried all of our plates from the covington planter to the MF dealer in Quincy Fl saturday. The fellow there looked and laughed, said we were using peanut plates. We had stalks about 1 or 2 inches apart,when they should...

I dont know if its the cold or not but, I saw 2 tractors, a bobcat, and a small trackhoe style trencher, all on trailers with nothing but dumd luck holding them there. It was down to 32 this morning and I dont know if that was the reason or not. Every once in a while you will see something not...

As I was pulling my 20' trailer Sunday, 60 mph, 4 lane rd, I had just moved to the inside lane to pass some one who was turning right. the chain on the passenger side ramp broke (where it is welded to the trailer) and the ramp started dragging the ground. Talk about sparks!!!! luckily I only...

I have a cyl in a paper cutter, about 6" dia. 12" stroke. rated somewhere between 3300 lbs and 5000lbs. The end of the casing broke off the piston is half showing and fluid shooting every where. The customer said he was using it heard a BANG and noticed fluid pouring out. Luckily the cyl is...

I borrowed my buddies 5205 with the FEL this weekend, to move some dirt at my parents house for a sidewalk project. Very nice tractor, I have driven it a few times before but never "worked" it much, usually just draging some discs. My 2910 Ford was in the shed next to the deere, when I pulled...

Got a phone call Sunday morning from one of my buddies, He was cutting 1 or 2 acre lot a few blocks from my house. He was on his stand behind snapper mower cutting the perimiter before using the massey. A 5' rattler slithered right in front of him then coiled up at the woodline. Snake was still...

I am helping to work on a 72 Ford 4000. Its main problem right now is the oil light stays on. We replaced the sending uint, and still have problem. The engine seems fine to me, Oil seems to be pumping. Is there a way to hook a gauge in the place of the light, Even if only Temporary? What kind...

With the new formats here I cant find a link that some one posted on here about the official USDOT regs. I am not being lazy but all my attempts to find just the regs and not all the BS discussions, commities, and such is driving me nuts. Anybody have a link to the "SHORT" rules 393.130 used to...

I had some property to bush hog, 5 acres + or - Called my 65 yearold dad to see if he wanted to ride with me, he is retired and I thought he (and mom) would like to get out for a while. All was going great went and picked...
