What is name of said company? I'm no too far from Napoleon, O.

Excellent. I did remove my backhoe last night. I just disconnected and re-connected the return hose and it's now working again. Thank you sir!!

Ahh yes, makes sense. I could see that in Florida where the goal is to keep it cool. I am up in the 41st parallel where if it gets too cold ya freeze your knickers off. The way I see it is that when you put a coat on, you don't stick the coat between your ribs, you wrap it around them. Just...

Triple pane windows. Southern facing house with higher solar heat gain coefficent glazing. Hope to heat with a candle! Will have fresh air exchange system. If you like this kind of thing follow along if you wish.. check out the last few videos of mine if ya'll like it!

Tried truning the knob one way then the other. Inspected to make certain the shaft is not slipping. It's not. 3 point will not lower. Any suggestions here?

Does anyone have a phone mount/holder that they can suggest?

I always enjoy videos like this so I thought I'd share with you all.

Thanks for your reply. Here's what my friend wrote when I sent him your infiormation: "Sadly that does not describe my situation my shaft has no rubber boots I'll have to go underneath and have another look at it. I so no boots no snap rings do anything just a tube thanks for the help"

Trying to help a friend. Says he needs to drop the oil pan but front driveshaft is in the way. He says "it looks like it's in a tube" and he doesn't understand how to drop it. Any information is apprecaited. Does anyone have a service manual they can pass me?

masscity - "In the winter if the sun was shining and it was around 25/30 degrees I could shut the heat off and the house would stay warm. Forgot to mention this was in the Detroit suburbs. I was on a acre and I loved this house." YES!! This is what I'm after. I'm 45 minutes from Detroit, so...

I am considering Hardie board for my house build. When you say that you never have to paint again, is that in general, or are you expressing this because the hardie is covered by the trim? It seems like anything that accepts paint will need to be re-painted at some point. But then again, I...

Yes sir! "Hot-dipped galvanized steel has a thicker zinc coating for better corrosion resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use. Because of the thick plating, only galvanized nuts and washers will fit galvanized bolts. The coating typically has a rough, dull grey finish." Check out...

Im not really sure what the premium is over the other types of hardware but I did attach the price I paid yesterday. Like you, I also appreciate hot-dipped. I went into this knowing that I wanted hot dipped so I never considered any other types of bolts. Great minds think alike.

Done.

I'm rebuilding a picnic table. Does it make sense to source bolts, washers and nuts online? If so, does anyone have a good go-to source for low cost galvanized bolts and such? Maybe it's just as pricey to hit a local big box store? So far, boltdepot.com seems like the deal

I had the neighbor kid come over and use a pry to assist the lift. Once it lifted it would hold it. Later when I had it moved I was able to lift it, RPMs way up and it moved about 3 inches a minute!

Get yourself a kill-a-watt meter or knock off. Not only will it measure amperage and wattage used, but you can track kWh too for under 30 bucks. If it’s 220v you can install a Sense unit or something similar but it’s more expensive. for the curious, would you mind posting a photo of your...

Is this why semi trucks and older tractors have vertical pipes pointing up towards the sky? have You considered this?

Used pallete forks and moved a 4x6 concrete pad that’s about 3-4 inches thick. I only have a my225e but I thought it would do a bit less grunting. She barely picked it up. On the other hand, the weight was extending Kind of far out in front. Had to crawl to keep the rear tires on the ground.

Spray foam insulation will give your barn more rigidity. here’s what I did on the exterior wall with closed cell spray foam. the rest of the loft area was fluffy stuff. oh, I also put 3” poly ridged board under the concrete in the loft area too

:) I’d love to build a plantation style house. Heck I already have a few of the pillars.

Yes! I'm even looking at EXTERIOR window shades. The kind that operate vertical down across the window on tracks to keep out the sun/heat on those super hot days. I already have solar panels from my old place and all the gear to go with it. Two inverters, rails, mounts, heck I even have a...

Thanks for sharing. I'm already getting overwhelmed just trying to bring all my resources together. I just don't see it happening this year, but I might still break ground. Seeing your posts kinda gives me a little energy to stay at it. I like how you captured even the little things.. like...

Excellent! I already have my DIY barn up but I didn’t build it myself. I wish I would have left a header exposed on the gable end like you did. I’ll need to take the metal down and cut down to find purchase. what did you cut your metal with? I’m told cutoff wheels will destroy the finish...

Fantastic thread and Documentation! I too bought a barn from DIY pole barns. They are a couple hours south. I dealt with “Dustin” if I recall. Mine is 56x36. I think I’ll do exactly what you did. I seriously appreciate this thread and thank you for taking the time and posting! Here is my...

Good info. It looks like you're around 35° latitude so the sun will be higher at your location. I'm around 45° here so I'll need some longer overhangs. I'm starting with 18". Since I'm pointing to the south I should get lots of nice warm sun rays penetrating the house, but I still worry...

Yes sir, all windows are around u.16 except the glazing on the south which have a u value of u.18 and SHGC of around .45 if I recall. You got it, as SHGc goes up, so does U value (and R value drops) I am considering external window shading to control sun or overheating. That is my biggest fear...

Yes, most definitely using 2x6 to achieve a higher R value. Thank you for your reply

Been thinking about this for years. I sold my house and should be building this year or I might wait until spring. im in Ohio climate zone 5. Going to superinsulate the walls to R30 with R80 in the attic. triple pane windows, raised heel truss, etc. has anyone framed 24” on center and found the...

Name has Florida in it tho. Hmmmm.

I posted this in a tractor specific thread. I figured this has nothing to do with the model or make of the tractor and thought others not in that thread might enjoy.

I’m scouring the inter webs and can’t find the part number of the 9” bucket for an LB1106 backhoe. Does anyone have this information?

Did you ever build or find a dolly for your 1106?

It doesn’t seem like much, but moving this behemoth made me pucker a little.

Guys reminds me of Forrest Gump. No offense intended.

Maybe you can start Janice while Janice stands in front. we want pics of said shed.

Can anyone identify this axel?

Thank you. I’m always looking for an excuse to pick up another implement! What’s a tractor without implements anyway? ;)

None really at all! I’ve used it on my septic to smooth the dirt but that was only a few passes. Thanks for the comment my head just expanded a bit! Ha

Loving my little LS MT225e! Already over 50 hours on it and I haven’t even put up a house yet :)

was going to buy a Branson but ended up with an LS. Reason was no service in my area. Something I remember was keep the radiator clean of debris they might heat up quickly. That was a few years back. Sometimes I wish I went with Branson it seemed like a better bargain at the time I was looking

I left it in the hands of the men doing the job. It wasn’t cheap and the guys are all retired union boys that did this stuff for a living. The ”head” guy who I contacted is highly regarded in this area as one of the best around. I guess time will tell but so far I’ve been very pleased.

I’m partially living under a loft! here’s a few vids

Care to post your floor plan?

Google search for your nearest fence installer and ask them what it is they just installed at that location?

I’ve got capacities and such I guess I was hoping for the Choltons or Haynes equivalent for my tractor. Maybe that doesn’t exist?

Can anyone pass me the service manual for the MT225? I need to perform the 50 hour flush and would like to check out the manual for other service needs.

Not mine, a neighbors.

A custom lawn cruiser goofin around with chain steering! Well I cant seem to upload files... sorry maybe moderator can remove this post?

I've attached a photo, although it doesn't portray the lumpy bumpy well. It's pretty safe to walk about but there are holes and lumps here and there. I don't have a roller. Maybe I will look into borrowing one before I cut.

New to tractor life. Have property. Used to be plowed. Seeded with Kentucky 31 fescue and grown for years as wild Lumpy bumpy flat land in Ohio. I purchased and would like to mow. Do I want a brushog? Finish mower? Flail? honestly, I don稚 know the difference, but I don稚 have anything...

Gotta get this off my chest.. I’ve been worried that I’ll break my xd 3025h because of the oil leak recall issue. I have under 20 hours on my machine and have been terrified that I’ll have a mess if it breaks. I have no trailer and the nearest dealer is over an hour away. I decided that I’m...

THE easiest method to fill your diesel tractor. Easier than deep South homesteads approach :) - YouTube

I found this dangling under the right side of the dash on my 2017 I probed it with my voltmeter and turned the lights and blinker on/off. I also started the tractor and got nothing on the pins. Does anyone know what it's for?

Hello all. About to purchase a machine for light duty work on 3 acres of flat land. Looking for feedback and input. I'm down to these two although I'm considering a Kubota l2501 but I'm creeping out of my price range with this unit. No convincing that the Kubota is superior and established...
