I guess I overloaded my FEL on my JD790. As you can see in the photo the arms on the FEL came loose. As far as I can tell nothing is broken and no hoses are leaking. The only damage I can see is that the latch link rods are bent. It almost looks like this was supposed to happen to prevent a...

I've been doing a little more "tractoring" on my JD 790 than normal because of the recent snows here in the normally Sunny South. I was pulling a scrape blade up a hill yesterday and needed to increase the throttle to maintain speed. When I "gave it some juice" I noticed that I could see dark...

.....is about all I do with my bird feeders. Shooting the little boogers is out of the question, unless someone has some easy and cheap plans for an effective silencer.... I've bought a couple of supposedly squirrel proof feeders but they only work until the squirrels figure them out. What...

I've got a little probelm with the electrical system on this old Jeep truck (pictured left) that is beginning to get me riled up. First, I know my alternator is good. It's been tested several times. I've tried 2 different Voltage regulators and get the same results. Here's what's up...My...

Being new to the tractor business I'm not completely up on all the terms I see used here. I've got some of them figured out like - ROPs - but some of the other stuff I've seen is kind of bewildering. CUT = Compact Utility Tractor???? MMM ????? ....and all those other ABCs and XYZs you old...

I need some suggestions on building some moderately heavy-duty shelving for my basement workshop/fort/hideout. I'm not looking for fancy or especially visually delightful, but not junky enough to get the wife concerned. I just need some vertical storage for my stuff like power tools, camping...

I recently "inherited" a nice John Deere 790. I didn't get any paperwork and very little info on this sweet little tractor. I don't know how I ever got along without it now that I've had it a couple of months. How do I go about finding out the year it was made? I need the information for tax...
