What is the normal high temperature for an engine? The reason I ask is a month back while cutting grass on my zero turn I smelled hot oil. Stopped and found the oil fill tube melted and oil splashing out. It is right next to the starter and the starter was so hot it would burn if touched. I...

So I need some paint for a project. Went to Home Depot but they didn't have the color I needed. I went to TSC and they had the color but the price was $2.00 higher for a spray rattle can. I needed the paint so I headed to the register and asked if they price matched and yes they do for non...

So my zero turn developed 2 cracks in the seat. I trimmed the curled edges and applied some Harbor Freight Liquid tape to seal the holes. Been about 2 months and looks to be holding up great. I applied several coats to get good thickness.

Just saw this, TrackR bravo Will it work to locate a stolen tractor?

Well I finally pulled the trigger and bought a large chipper. It is a 2004 Wood Chuck W/C 19G, rated for 14" material. Has a Perkins 4.4 liter turbo with 477 hours showing on the proof meter. Still have to go through and check everything before I put it to work. It runs fine and all the...

Well I had my first experience with a stuck clutch. I had my tractor over at my mothers doing a little work and I had to leave it outside uncovered. It rained and was a week later before I got back to finish. When I started it up the clutch was stuck and would not release. I had a middle...

I have a 1700 Ford that has the hydraulic connections for a FEL. I don't have a FEL and it has a short hose that comes out of one port and back in to the other creating a loop. The hose is getting old/cracked can I just plug the holes? Will that create a problem? Thanks

Well the day today was absoutletly great. It started off in the low 30's and finished up in the low 70's and not a cloud in the sky. I finally had time to get back to working on the tractor engine. I have priced a clutch alignment tool at $31.00. Now some folks call me tight but, I just...
