Driver ticketed for strapping ATV to car’s roof | WSYR

finally got the boat in monday, and the corner wedge and stairs, coming nice, wife is happy with the larger swimming area by the stairs for the smaller grandkids. can't say that the rock and jog in the dock is an issue at all.

we did offset the 2nd section of dock to go around the big rock, it's going to be fine. still have to finish with the steps and corner dock piece, but with this 2nd piece of dock we gained a much wider swim area, and will have easier access onto the front of the boat from the dock.

you can see how much you have moved the structure, as others mentioned, 100+ years is a long time. the structure has conformed to it's foundation over the years. i think you will be fine getting the walls as plumb to the overhead structure as you can for now and trying pressure over time to...

we have peroxide injection for our home water system, i dilute the 7% with water, so it's really only 3.5%. today we had a leak at a copper fitting for the injection system where it meets the 3/4 in copper main water pipe. i removed the T for fear it may be bad, and was surprised to see the...

might be easier to just jog the deck out for that 2nd section, offset it, would only need to be offset about 1 foot.. and wouldn't be horrible as the lateral run for the boat could could be right where the offset is

I have a rock in the way of some dock we want to put along shore, it's showing about 24" wide and maybe 28-30" tall, but no idea of how big it really is, can't see it all yet. i tried chipping with a pick axe, it seems pretty hard, has some color to it, we're located in upstate NY, any...

the check came, i called the contractor, they were there monday and had the tree off the roof in about 3 hrs, no further damage, everything good to go, time to start finishing up the deck railings and get the docks in!

i went over again last night and did some rough measuring the tree is 13-14 inches at the base, most of it is around 12, i believe white pine, so around 2000 lbs total give or take.. the top is hanging free with only a few scrub trees below it, and no good trees near it to hang from or tie...

had a bit of a wind blow thru this afternoon, and a smaller pine tree fell on our little camp building. looking at the roof i think we lucked out, i didn't notice any major damage yet. but i need to get this removed before more wind takes it down further. thoughts on safe procedure to remove...

I recently acquired a 16' section of aluminum dock that had a little wind damage. i was able to bend back the area that was damaged, but notice there are 4 support rods that the weld has broken. i'd like to reweld these before we put the dock in for summer. is it worth trying to use the...

i'm beginning to look at replacing some stone steps that access our lake and dock at a recent camp we bought. the old ones are too narrow, not sturdy, and an accident waiting to happen with the grandchildren and even adults using them to access the dock. i found some products online at...

could this be a similar brand blower? if so, maybe it helps us narrow down what brand the blower is, notice the spout rotation in this Loftness (pic stolen from another BB)

we just installed a reese hitch mounted curtis spreader on the back of a 1025R, the lower lift arms could stay, we had to remove the top link and tool box, the customer wanted to shorten up his overall length with the blower and spreader on, and the 3ph spreaders were substantially longer than...

so i have all the settings, but it's not finding any network. i wonder if i need to get this router connected to the internet via cable first?

got into the patio area, i think i found my grill,,,, yup , it's my grill

worked on secondary drive this am again, (did it once last nite) and started working my way around the back of the house.

started snowing here about midnight saturday, hasn't quit yet (as of 9pm Monday), and probably won't till tomorrow mid day sometime. forecasters mentioned something like 20 inches could be coming (yea right), more than likely that will be doubled in many spots around upstate NY. I read the Tug...

have had a couple real nice weather days for mid November, glad i didn't put the car away yet! (just got it last month, nice to get another ride in it)

cool stove, i don't think it's vermont castings, and a quick search for round stoves and i came up with this picture form a house listed for sale in trinidad CA, looks like the same manufacturer,, i am betting it's a west coast manufacturer, or western canada?

i have to say that their 12" sliding mitre saw has been a trooper for me. I've owned it for 3 years or so, and used it mostly for deck work, wanted to cut 4x4s and 2x10s etc. the saw performed well, although it takes a little while to dial it in so it's square. the latest project was the...

after sanding we washed it down, and will be covering with a hardwood stain product made by Flood (recommended by the lumber supplier) here are pictures of the set in place with the wet look, which should resemble the final finish after we stain the wood.

the tool of choice for the build was my 12" Harbor Freight mitre saw, and my cordless makita tools for drilling and driving. i may have to reply to the "harbor freight tools that don't suck" thread about the saw, it's been a trooper for this, including doing all the rabbits in the 4x4s. they...

after we did the paver patio a couple years ago, http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/projects/281410-backyard-paver-patio.html i knew we'd need a new outdoor dining set as the 10yr old set we had was mostly rotten and coming apart. so i thought it'd be cool to build my own set. the wife wanted a...

took my 5 yr old grandson for a ride in a new 825i yesterday after work. we found some trails and he had a blast, kept asking why i didn't buy one. i told him because we have a good machine already (an older HPX) but he thinks our gator is too slow and bumpy so i should just get a new one!

Leon there have been some changes, and with the new part number the notes indicate selling another part, and i wonder if this is why your new cable won't work part 13, the brake rod, is new also. maybe it's shorter and would then allow your cable to work? sorry i know it won't help tonight...

Just being released, JD is now going to increase their powertrain coverage on 1-4 series compact tractors from 36 months up to 6 years/2000 hours! I'm sure more details will follow, as this is a recent announcement. Competition is good eh?

Welcome Mark from Maine! enjoyed your little love story, glad it's still going strong. as JJ said, pull the cover off the scv and look at the springs etc. the scv is part 8 in this diagram, the cover is on the opposite side from where the joystick yokes connect to the valve.

can't find the tech manual online , but here is the parts picture of the brakes, looks like they are under that cover (#5) on the axle housing, follow the linkage.

beautiful sky today!

What is your plan for that edge of the pavers? They make paver edging that bolsters up against the edge and gets spiked into the ground.. or you could build a small wall to shore it up...

nice sunset tonight

had some storms move south of us yesterday afternoon, made for a pretty picture samsung S5

added the fence this weekend, and used an old set of stairs from a deck to build some more small boxes

I just made a deal on a used HD super glide custom, used 2012 with 2000 miles. my suzuki marauder had an engine issue last year and with this summer this past couple weeks it really got me missing riding. never thought i'd own a Harley! can't wait to get it, probably next week...

came across this last summer, thought it would make a great picture, so I was on the same road over the weekend and had to stop. would be great if i had a nice dslr camera, but, the picture is awesome anyway.

a customer brought this part thinking it may have come out of his 2520 jd tractor. it vaguely looks familiar but we can't place it. it may have nothing to do with his tractor. it has fairly coarse threads, slotted at one end and a tapered head, looks like something to either adjust or...

Welcome to TBN gpabby, it looks like the "holder" is interchangeable with the 200cx and the d120.. here is a pic of the part and the part numbers for 1 and 2 show compatibility with several of the newer loaders.

Thanks Eddie, i had never thought of that scenario. The deck i asked about is hopefully going to be covered with a roof this year, so i won't worry to much about it if i do. I do have a front deck that wraps around 2 sides of the house, and that has the lattice which we hate. There is a...

here is a pic showing that hitch on the tractor, notice the locking pins are up higher than on the hitch you have

there is no intermediate bracket needed, you have the wrong quick hitch for your tractor. the way i remember it, old hitches from the 445/455 etc would come forward onto the new x485 and x700 tractors, but the newer hitches would not retrofit backwards to the 445/455. new hitches hang from the...

I'm replacing my 445 with something a little newer, so it is for sale. 870 hrs, loaded rear tires, with chains. 54" deck is in very good condition, 47 blower is fair, and the cab is a Curtis soft side, no heat, but it has an electric wiper. Everything runs fine, and I serviced the tractor this...

hehe caught a few tractors hanging in my yard last nite, weren't there long, had to get back to work the 318 i just found for a friend, the 445 is my old faithful, and the X585 is going to be it's replacement!

1 week ago today we got 24+ inches, and although I shovelled off my house, I can't get on the barn. The snowpack has been slowly creeping down, and I took these pics 3 days ago. the snow is still hanging on, but even further now!

happened to look in the ditch by the road today, and I see this gunk at the end of a drainage pipe that I layed in last summer. I have noticed a bit of the same colored stuff around that ditch, coming from wherever, but this was the first time I ever saw it accumulate in 1 place. I took a...

3 weeks ago i see a walmart banner online that has a panasonic plasma 46" tv at wally world for a good price (from what i could see) so i bought it, seemed like the skilled sales help there didn't really know much about plasma or hz etc. but it's been a good tv, i like it, it's the right size...

I borrowed this pump and tank from my sister and her husband, they acquired it with the house they bought a few years ago, but they don't use it. I have a pond that I can use for watering the lawn, and gardens, but I have been using a small transfer pump which really doesn't cut it. so i...

seems a lot of us are dealing with water issues. I am contemplating changing from our shallow well pump in the basement, to a submersed well pump for the well that supplies our home. the current system works fine, until we use a larger amount of water, 2 showers+laundry, or washing lots of...

took me a minute, but what's wrong with this picture? (or right??) :D doesn't the bike almost looks photoshopped into the picture?

during a trip out west and south, came down highway 1 and caught this storm off shore, made for some great pics...

from the Times Herald Record, in the Hudson Valley, a woman was saved by her JD tractor as the garage roof collapsed onto her, but the tractor gave her some protection. The sad part about the story is that her husband had a heart attack later that same day and has passed. link to article: Roof...

I used Emachineshop.com to draw up these wings, and had a local shop make them for me. Due to time constraints we didn't get time to pre-drill and paint the wings, so I had to paint them right as I installed them. (they came primed) overall they came out very good, and the customer seemed happy...

had some wet sticky snow last week, and it made for some good pictures.. wish i had a better camera and skills, but some are pretty cool anyway.

Hi all, One of my better customers has had a downturn in business, and has asked me to help him sell his JD 110 TLB he bought June 07 He only used it around his home while it was being built. It has a total of 32 hrs,, front and rear aux hyd, 72" fr and 20" rr buckets. Like new. We have it...

I have heard that somebody is making a plastic, poly, or other material skid shoe for snowblowers. I'm thinking more of the runner type, that are for walk behind blowers, or front snowblowers for compacts and L&G tractors. This type typically bolts to the side of the blower housing, instead of...

I am in need of some help with a tractor with a Hardy 35 loader, that has the quick tatch system from Hardy. Does anybody know if there are adapter plates out there to allow usage of these attachments on a JD 400X loader? We have the option of putting Skid Steer mounts on the 400X loader, but...

Here's an article from Farm Industry News on a rodeo they did with Utility Vehicles,, interesting results compared to a few years ago. Rodeo Drive | The 2007 UV Rodeo | ATV reviews, UV reviews

well, after a sunken septic tank this spring, the leach field also had failed, and needed replacement. here in NY, the town has jurisdiction, and they require an engineer to design the system. The engineer came and did a deep hole test, along with perk test, and the results were depressing...

how do i delete this duplicated post?

ok, after a big project in june, replacing septic tank, and having small pond put in, now we had to go and have the leach field put in. seems what was there, wasn't much! anyway, i borrowed a tractor and harley rake, and have been over the ground a few times. we have very rocky soil, which at...

but with lots of water! we're pretty dry this year, but from the looks of this dig, no lack of ground water. I was planning on doing this work myself, but, didn't ever get the time. so once the septic collapsed and i had to have a contractor in anyways, i hired him to do the pond. here's the...

This is probably winters last grasp! Taken March 1, after a long stretch of cold, snowy weather. Looks like the snow was trying to "hang on", but the rain came last nite and really started to melt a lot of the snow. :D

Has anybody ran into the top link of the new front 3ph setup that goes with the 59 front snowblower,,, and the interference with the hood guard? This new system is slick, but has way too much lift height, to the point that the u-joints are howling if lifted while still under power. But, this...

Ok, FInally got pics from him, although they aren't that great coming from his cell phone.. (his friends have some better pics, to come later) but this was his first buck, got it day before thanksgiving, upstate NY... 2nd deer overall, taking a doe last year... I'll add the other pics as I...

I had an inquiry about an HPX gator for use at a ski area, and they would be looking to replace some 4 wheelers to run up and down a ski hill. Has anybody used or seen them used in this application? I would imagine the way a ski hill is hard packed, that the 4X4 HPX would handle it as well if...

I was told a year ago when I bought this house I'm in now that the well was a "gravel pack" type of well. I guess it isn't a drilled well, and not a dug well. last nite, while i was out for a couple hours, my g/f and her kids ran 2 load of laundry, and took 2 showers, and I know nobody is...

I would bet it is just a matter of time before the RIO system is implemented in compact tractors. So many of them are being used as lawn mowers, and accidents are probably just as common. Here is a terrible story from a local town... mom was mowing and her daughter ran up to the tractor, mom...

I had a question come up about the tech manuals on CD and whether they will run ok on a Mac computer (they still make them?) anyway, I told the guy I think it will work, but wanted to double check with somebody more experienced on the subject.. thanks for your help :cool:

Are there any of you 990 owners out there that can help me size a tractor. My customer has a 790, and knows he can't lift the round bales he gets in winter for his horses. He is thinking of buying a 990 with the 300CX loader, and a bale spear to unload the truck and move bales around his...

We are getting some sewage odor in the back yard, and now that it is still wet, I have noticed a few areas where i have standing water, (up in elevation from my own septic area), that are getting that oily greasy look on top of the water.. making me think somehow I am getting some sewage...

I am creating a small dirt area to allow customers to demo tractor's with loaders/backhoes. I would like to ask the question of what material would you like to see in this pit. We have different ideas, from gravel to mulch to sand etc. Our local soil is mostly gravel, bony stuff. But, would...

Hi again, I have a question about the 4310, with a curtis hard side cab, and adding a JD 48 backhoe. Has anybody done it? Is it a problem with the back window? Or has the window been removed? thanks in advance

Is there a resource for looking up parts online for Bobcat Skid Steers? I know Deere has the JDparts available, and was wondering if Bobcat had something similar.

Has anybody used one of the smaller "estate" sized rotary cutters on a JD X series tractor? I know bush hog and woods make a 42" cutter, and i'm sure they are ok for sub compacts, but what about the X series tractors with 3pt and rear pto?

\"Rental Upgrade Kit\" Does anybody have this kit installed on their 4200-4410 tractors? I would like pictures of the underside skid plates if somebody could post some. Thanks in advance.

Any thoughts on what a 1 yr old Cub 3204, with 44" deck, and 45" 2stage snowblower , weights and chains might be worth? Tractor has 45 hrs, not happy with the performance of the mower deck in this years heavy wet grass. It looks like this package listed for about 9K new, could have been...
