I lived on both sides of the fence. As I buyer, I found that a show of cash in hand is a bit of an eye catcher. Something about the sight of cash is really a teaser. No matter how much it is, just the sight of the green, triggers something in the brain. As a seller, you have to realize that...

Had the same problem with a 1969 Chrysler. Replace all factory studs on the wheels with new ones from Auto zone or an auto parts store. Not original. MIGHT help. Sometimes the different metals in the nuts reacts with the metal in the studs and they kind of weld. Also try using anti seize.

Look at Yanmar, Holland and other non-best brands. I have a used 2500 Yanmar with FEL (front end loader) made in 1977, bought about 15 years ago. You will find uses for the FEL than you ever thought of. Yanmar also makes most of the parts for John Deer (JD) including engine and more. Buying from...

YES! I thought I was the only one that has these days. All I can tell you is that just when things can't get any worst, they do. Only kidding. Just try to remember a day when everything went right, I know they seem far and few, but they were there, and they will be there again. Of course...

Back LONG time ago I worked at a used car lot as a detail man. Worked with a guy that used the kerosene method that could put a shine on a junk yard model T. I never could get the hang of it as many times as he tried to show me.

Allenport, please get a few books on how to run a tractor. They are very dangerous, NEVER get off the tractor unless the pto is completely stopped. Not just slowed down but STOPPED. I do not have the experience as most members on this site but that was the first thing I learned. Next get a good...

ALWAYS buy up from what you think you need. I am 80 with a 25 hp Yanmar in Tx on just 2 ac of wooded. Wish I had a grapple, power teering, 4 w drive. Cab would be nice but LOTs of brush and low branches. Just had a fellow working next door with a forester machine clear about 3/4 ac with his...

Friend of mine in New York had a wind farm put up some wind powered towers. Even though he is really far from them he can see the windmills so the power company pays him so much a month because it takes away from his nature view. It has been a long time since I talked to him so I can't tell you...

Backing up my 16-foot trailer was a breeze but trying to back up my 4 foot one on my lawn mower sucks. Clamp on hitch or practice, practice, practice, practice. Clamp on hitch is easier and less time consuming.

When was the last time you walked into a Micky d's and ordered a .50 hamburger. Paid 12k for my first house in 1975. Bought a car 5 years later that cost me twice that price. Installed an easy loader on back of my 77 Yanmar. (Hoyl tractor) Loved it for a year then wrecked my hog. Next tractor...

Don't ask, just bring a good dozen and maybe a bottle of Jack D.

I use Sea Foam in my gas cans then in my saw, woodchipper or lawn mower.

Everyone has said everything, and I am with them all. I too had to start over back in 1985. Won't go into detail but all I had was a 12-year-old car and everything that fit into the trunk. Didn't have nearly as much as you but today I have much more than back then and better things. You will go...

I have read that dogs that eat fast are at risk for getting a twisted stomach that can kill them in just a few minutes. Having dogs for over 50 years we have had one die from that (Great Dane) in a matter of minutes. Not enough time to get him to vet 4 miles down the road. Seems it effects large...

Texas law says if you come off a dirt road you must stop and clean off you tires/ tracks or whatever before driving on a paved road. That means ANY vehicle. Not only can you be ticketed but sued by any person whose vehicle is damaged by anything that comes off your vehicle or trailer. This was...

Don't know much about tractors but I have a 2500 Yanmar with FEL. Only 2 acers of flat half wooded lot but got stuck on my own propriety 4 or 5 times. Next tractor HAS to be 4wd.

Thanks so much for the GREAT info. Sorry it took so long to reply but I never got a notice that it had been answered and other projects (honey doo's) had to be done.

I have some powerful speaker mags that I use this method of putting bag over. Works great. Try hooking a stick or even a string to the magnet so you don't have to bend down. Have one on my tractor and in every place I do work. They are great for holding small things when working on things like...

I also live it Tx where the temps are going into the triple digits this weekend. I am not 50 ,60, or even 70 anymore. If you go out to work in that heat, the plants might not be the only thing that won't survive.

Go electric to save out earth from fossil fuels. Then we can build more gas or coal fired electric producing companies to keep our EV things running. Why not a Flintmobil?

Thank you so much for clearing that up. I have always called them bush hog and couldn't figure out why I could not find many sites that called them bush hogs. Now can you please let me know what I would use to cut brush. Not a finishing mower. Again ,I will now call them rotary cutters. texasj

Born and lived in big city for 35 years. Now live in country on 2 acres for 40 years. Still lock anything lockable. You can take the boy out of the city, but you can't take the city out of the boy.

Look at Yanmar. It is a Chinese JD.

Some states claim used oil/hydraulic fluid is cancer causing. Of course now day EVERYTHING is cancer causing.

Going to try this again. One of them is going to be right. I want to thank everyone that has given me advise on water in my PTO/transmission on my YM2500. I have changed it 2 or 3 times before but it will only work my FEL and PTO a few days then water contaminates it again. I use Sea Foam...

Don't know if I am doing this right but I want to thank everyone that has answered my post about water in my PTO/ hydraulic fluid. I found out long ago that no matter whatever you are trying to do if you go online and ask you will get great results. I use you tube a lot also. Thanks everyone.

Water in hydraulic Yanmar 2500 Can't afford on commercial hydraulic cleaning. Been reading about cleaning out system with deasil fuel. Any recommendations besides "don't" ?
