Have a Deere R70/R72 riding mower I recently refurbished. Has a gravity feed tank feeding a now 12hp single cylinder B&S. Original gas cap was vented and in bad shape. I ordered a replacement part from Deere and got the part that superceded the original which fits but is not vented. Didn't...

I just lost several hundred dollars worth of new paint in gallon cans during the recent cold snap. They were all water base paint both indoor and outdoor varieties along with some primer. It got unseasonably down in the mid negative 20s here during the worst of it; and coming from the desert...

Hello all, Hoping to get some advice on a pressure tank setup. Well is 160' deep with an in-well 3/4hp 5gpm pump and pitless adapter installed 6' beneath grade with electric and poly stubouts. Pad is located downhill of the well about 270 horizontal feet away. Initially need to plumb in a small...

Came across this comparison of plastic rehab products tested on automotive exterior plastic both black and colored (grey) and thought it was very well done with monthly washing and 1.5 year final follow up and conclusions. The guy owns a car detailing business and says he purchased all of the...

I recently picked up a left outside but otherwise in good condition mid-mount snowplow/pusher bar for my ATV. After disassembling/derusting/priming/painting, I've got 2 plates with quite a bit of surface contact area that rotate to angle the plow. Pivot portion looks almost identical to this...

Inspired by a recent what to do with old antifreeze thread: I've purchased and restored a number of old basket-case machines that haven't run in years; and I always have a problem with what to do with the old fuel (gas or diesel). It's too old to run in any of my vehicles/equipment, and I'm not...

Anybody own one of these and have feedback? Looks useful if on the pricy side https://www.maxxtuff.com/maxxtuff-ropsrider-xhd-tractor-basket

Amazing how versatile tractors are. Here's avoiding the purchase/rental of a rough terrain gantry crane to pull an inboard motor out of a 23' cuddy cabin boat with a 7' high transom

Hello all, I'm adding 2 remotes on a compact tractor and went looking for a universal 4 hole coupler mounting bracket that mounts to the ROPS or can be modified to do so. I would think that such a thing would be a common item, but I'm not finding anything? I see a few 2 coupler mounts but I...

I have a need to cut a new road around 1500' long and make a pad ~80' foot square in a mixed pasture/sagebrush area on a 2-4 degree slope (no trees in the way). The road runs generally across/along the slope. The dirt is a loam/clay mix which I would call mildly rocky. I have not cut a new road...

Came across this and found it quite entertaining, thought I'd share: What I want to know is if the entire rear weight is on the gauge wheels of the MMM?

I'm in the market for a fiberglass canopy with ROPS attachment kit for my Ford 1720. I had good luck with Thunderbird out of Arizona years ago for a different machine -good quality and knowledgeable salespeople. However, they have been having some extended lead times right now so I would like...

I have a Yanmar 3TNE84 3 cylinder diesel generator motor that is getting tired after a former life of many thousands of hours in a turf mower. I don't know exactly how many hours as the hour meter was broken long before I pulled the motor, but it's seeping oil from a number of places & doesn't...

I have an early model Kubota B4690 3pt backhoe. This is not the BL4690a/b later model. The placard says made in the USA, the bucket placard says made in the USA by Woods, and all of the hardware is SAE. Does anyone happen to know if the backhoe itself was also made by Woods and branded...

Besides weight brackets, are there any other factory attachments to the front support on a utility size 5000 series Deere? I'm wondering what the remaining torn off and bent bits could have been that were bolted on and subsequently torn off by the previous owner. It clearly wasn't a weight...

Looking for Deere Progator mfwd front axle and driveshaft assembly. Preferably in the western US. Any model 2020, 2030, 2020a, 2030a will work. Thanks!

Gvwr is gross vehicle weight which is max with no trailer versus gcwr which is gross combined max weight truck + trailer. My understanding was that per the feds you need a CDL if your gvwr is more than 26k or if the gvwr of your truck + the gvwr of your more than 10k trailer exceeds 26k (with...

I have a 2002 Deere 5220 mfwd straddle mount tractor with a synchshuttle transmission. I bought it running but with the clutch non-functional and an issue with the front hub. I have resolved both of those issues and the new clutch works fine. I am able to use all 3 ranges and all forward gears...
