Hi guys, I'm mounting square steel posts on the corners of my front steps for some handrails. The stair tread "cap" is bluestone, with brick underneath. I have no idea how solid the area inside the perimeter brick is. Maybe just rubble. I plan to use regular "red-head" anchors, probably...

One of wife's hens gifted her with this monster yesterday. Biggest I've ever seen!

Hi folks, We were given what I understand to be a "Chinese Dogwood". It seems to be thriving, but is quite droopy per the attached. Do these need to be supported or pruned when young?

Hi guys, The retaining nuts on both sides of my sidelink upper mounts came loose just fine. Threads have some corrosion, but the whole pivot pin appears to be CAD plated. Unfortunately, the inner bushings of the links that the pins go through appear to just be regular and very rusty steel...

Not sure what got ahold of this drain plug! I think it looks worse than it is. Not leaking any. I assume it is a tapered thread, so it seals on the threads and not the "rim". The allen innerds should still be fine best I can tell. Since it's behind the "split pin" I also assume that it is...

Hi guys, Two of my 3 newly-installed rear remote valves are both very "tight" (takes a lot of pressure on the levers) and seem to be "sticky" when they do move. Sticky enough that they don't return to center very well. Kinda have to be manually set there. The third (farthest outboard) is...

Hi guys, I sent Brian at FitRite an e-mail, but he's so busy that his e-mail does an instant reply that it will be a few days. Good on him for both staying so busy AND for the notice instead of just leaving people wondering. I bet the TBN brain trust is *almost* as expert as Brian. So I am...

Hi gang, The inside of the slo-blow fuse compartment on my L4330 was full of dust and crap, so I attempted to clean it. I blew it out with an air hose and sprayed contact cleaner all around the fuses, but could NOT figure out how to actually remove them for a proper cleaning. Gentle grabbing...

Hi gang, I've been working on adding 3 rear remotes to my L4330 (see thread in "Hydraulics"). As I'm putting everything back together, I notice that the PTO dash indicator doesn't light, and I assume (didn't actually do a visual) that the PTO is not engaging. I figured I had reversed the...

Hi gang. Wife has been at least temporarily piling "used" hay from the chicken coop cleanings in the raised garden bed. All the beneficial chicken poop has been rinsed off by now. Any reason to remove the loose hay, or should we just till it in as compost?

Figured this goes better in here than in "Parts & Repairs"? And sorry, this is a long story to get in all the background. Our 2015 Subaru Forester has had a driver's side wheel bearing going out for a month or two. Growling gradually louder and louder, and at a wider range of speeds. It's...

Now that it's finally turning too cold outside to work, I decided to try to finally install my rear hydraulics. Got the tractor snuggled up behind the garage and pulled the seat/mount off to access the hydraulics. Of course, right after that, FIL walks over and asks, "hey, our heat pump...

The welding forum wasn't quite right and there's not a metal working forum, so I guess my question goes here. I'll be installing a bunch of pre-fab iron railings that I'll need to cut to length (Fortress FE26). The rails to be cut are about 1-1/2" square tube with a (supposedly) super-durable...

Went with our new (16 mo) grandbaby to a couple of the local Halloween events last night. I was both ASTONISHED, and very proud of the family values of our little town of Cookeville, TN. For the last several years, they have had a Halloween event on "the historic west side", a commercial...

Ugh! Spent over 3 hours yesterday tearing into the Keurig machine to try to locate whatever is causing it to clog. Wonderfully complex design that is almost impossible to get into! Amazing that they can sell it for around $100 considering what goes into one. I managed to remove several of...

Hi guys. So I've bragged on here several times about the great service I've gotten from my Apollo 1550 ETL solar gate operator AND the Sam's Club "Duracell" battery I've been using in it. Almost 4 years now. The control board did have one glitch where the "OK" button in the controls quit...

Hey guys, I've seen that some of y'all on here are very good with video work. I have a few "raw" videos that I'd mostly just like to "trim" some bits out of the middle of. Every editor I've tried makes it (seem to be) extremely difficult to do this. Any good, easy, video editor apps to...

Rode along beside one of these beasts for a bit on the interstate - Industrial Wheeled Tractor 937B | BARKO Holy destruction! 380 HP of mulching madness. The head appeared to be about 8-9ft wide and festooned with big carbide teeth kinda like on a flail (think "molars"). Looks like you could...

Hi guys. I just discovered hundreds of ants inside my gate access control keypad. It is a Millenium 950/951, which is relatively well sealed, but there is a small gap around the outer edge so that it can be opened for battery changes. It's mounted on a flat board, so all the normal...

Not sure if this should go in the Safety Forum or in some other sub-forum appropriate for Darwin Award nominees. Florida couple transporting grill injured after SUV explodes when woman lights cigarette | Fox News

I assume this question is kinda like "what oil should I use"? I also figured this question had been asked and answered a thousand times on here, but my attempts at search for freezing+corn didn't turn up any threads that looked right. Just stuff like "what internet to use". So what methods...

Hi guys. I didn't really think it was possible to "fix" a 4x4 once it twisted and was dried. I'm building another "flower box" like this and one of my long 4x4 band boards had about 15deg of twist. Just enough to look bad and make assembly really difficult. Since I had the holes drilled...

Hi folks. I don't usually post in here, so hopefully I'm in the right place. And hopefully this will help any future searchers with similar problems. B-I-L lost his key for his little Furukawa FD45 dozer. I pulled the switch out and explored the net for one had that a similar terminal...

I've seen lots of posts on here where engines will turn over slowly or "jerky", turning part of a turn and then stalling. It seems to be a common failure mode for single and twin cylinder Kohlers and Briggs. I acknowledge that this is sometimes due to inoperable compression releases, but I...

Due to a cross-country job change, my daughter/S-I-L/new grandson are living with us for a while while getting settled. Also included is her geriatric (14yo) chocolate lab. Even after plenty of time to get settled and relaxed, something is causing him to have unbelievably bad farts. These are...

Any opinions? Not many features left for identification, but we think it most closely fits raccoon.

My wife and her dad do most of the firewood handling around here. I've heard y'all's comments about the immense usefulness of a Pickaroon, so figured I'd get her one (and some tongs). So what is a good one? I've always had good experience with Fiskars stuff; is this one a good choice...

I'm disassembling and cleaning my fireplace gas (propane) log lighter. It's mostly black iron pipe, but I think the "carburetor" (gas/air venturi) and the distribution pipe are stainless. The original threads are all ok, but very oxidized due to the high temps down in the coal bed where it...

We've always had some coyotes around here. As years go by and the available food sources for them wax and wane, so does their population. But with several dogs and donkeys around, they have almost never been seen right up by our "populated" area and only heard once in a while. We live in a...

Hi guys. I've been needing a heavy disc, known around here as a "bog disc" to try to level out about 2-3 acres of my back field. This one came up on auction locally and looks like it might fit the bill. Especially if I chain down about 1,000 lbs of tree trunk on top. Anyone recognize the...

Looked at an otherwise gorgeous Winchester 94AE today in .44 mag. I can maybe get a decent price on it at auction because it has a slight scratch all along the right side of the receiver. Anyone know of a good method to "buff this out"? It is so slight as to be tempting to just leave alone vs...

Couldn't find a pressure washer sub-forum but I know you guys all use em and maybe have some detailed repair experience, especially with the pumps/unloaders. B-I-L's TroyBilt PW with a B&S pump stalls right after starting, so I suspected the unloader was stuck. Pulled it apart and found its...

How can scorpions move about? Wife killed one in her bathroom sink last night. We cannot figure out how it got there. I don't recall ever seeing one NOT on the ground. Can they crawl up walls or swim through a sink trap?

This is actually a wall mounting flange for a closet hanging rod. About 2" x 1-1/2". I need one extra and the manufacturer doesn't sell this part individually, only sells the whole rod/mount. Can anyone think of something similar? All it needs is a 3/8" hole in the center, enough of a...

Hi guys. Per title; I know I have the Bondioli&Pavesi/Binnachi slip clutch since the center of the Flange Plate is solid (no hole). That doesn't help a lot - BushHog's manual tells me nothing about clutch parts. GermanBliss shows that there could be any one of 3 models of clutch. I'm pretty...

Hi gang. F-I-L brought me his TroyBilt rider with the Briggs&Stratton 17HP (9BSXS.5002VP) engine. It was running, but VERY rich; missing and black smoke, like the choke was stuck on. It has the crappy Nikki carb with the white plastic "metering plate" with the main jet pressed into it. NOT...

It's been about 4 years in the new house, but only really 2-3 of being here regularly. So its a little early to have the septic pumped, but I was curious about how it was doing. Plus, we use a garbage disposer (sparingly) and occasionally flush some of those "supposed to be biodegradable and...

I have 5 double-head outdoor floodlight fixtures up on the high eaves of the house. Currently 100w halogen in each of the 10 heads. Except for 1, they are all quite difficult and dangerous to get to. When we built the house 6-7 years ago, LED exterior lighting was just really becoming...

I am guilty of being lazy and not first doing a search on here for previous posts.... but, has anyone had good experience with any commercial drill bit sharpening services? I have just a few larger ones, 1/2" to 7/8" that I don't trust myself to do a really good job on.

Anyone have good long-term results with any anti-corrosion products for steel battery trays? I have an electric side by side with 8 large lead-acid batteries. The batteries sit on a poly tray, but that in turn sits on a steel tray which is beginning to corrode in spots. I've pulled one of...

One of wife's hives swarmed Sunday. She was able to get most of the swarm into a new hive. Opened up the old one today to find it was infested with some sort of larvae, but evidently NOT wax moths. No adults were present, only the larvae, and hundreds and hundreds of them, along with some...

Hi guys. I know from previous threads that there's a bunch of quadcopter fans on here. I lust after the often-mentioned DJI Phantoms, but the $1000 ante holds me back. I just ran across a new "toy" quadcopter at Costco: made by "Propel", their "Altitude 2.0" model. At the risk of sounding...

We're picking up a new rescue dog next Saturday after the mandatory spay. A smallish lab mix, maybe 35-40#. Very laid back. Been many years since either of us has had a dog. What does the TBN brain trust recommend for a good dog food? I know, kinda like asking "what oil should I use"! I...

I surprised myself that I didn't check for opinions on here first, but we just ordered a new 22 ton electric wood splitter. Wife does the splitting, but she HATES any engine that doesn't start easily, and I am sick and tired of having to tear down the ethanol-fouled carburetors in all the small...

Hi guys. I believe that a lot of folks on this forum use CR-123-type batteries for various things, specifically high-end flashlights and Dakota Alert equipment, right? One of my Dakota Alert MURS is powered by my solar gate operator battery (group 34 automotive) and is awesome, but the other...

Except maybe the first few fall leaves brought on by cool evening temps! - Jay

Anyone have a suggestion for a source for bucket-sized quantities of cheap grease? Water resistant. Maybe about a gallon or so. Not food-grade or edible, probably petroleum-based. Bad tasting would be a plus. Grease seems to work good on the bird feeder poles to discourage the rat bastard...

Hi guys, I read several threads on here and elsewhere about trying to find a replacement for the OEM air filter on my FIL's Cub 7260 without much success. The Cub part, p/n MA-1031051120, is stupid expensive, $121. Wix cross-references this to their p/n 46483, which is NOT the correct...

Hi guys, FIL's 7260 has a bad ThermoUnit (I think) that is the input to the glow plug controller. It's the one on the thermostat housing with a short pigtail lead, Cub calls it p/n MA-31A90-02100. The plugs stay on most of the time unless I unplug the lead. Next to it on the thermostat...

Hi guys. Not sure if this qualifies to go in the Safety Forum, but whatever happened sure would have hurt if it happened directed toward someone's eyes. Was sitting at a stoplight a few days ago. A transit bus (25 passenger sort) came off the light from the other direction and just as it got...

Hi guys. Just did the 500hr service on the L4330. The fan/alternator belt was VERY loose! As in I probably could have popped it off the fan pulley with just hand pressure. It has never been loose before and has never been adjusted before. There was only the factory-original clamp mark on...

I think there might be a few gun aficionados or collectors on here, right? I ran across an unusual 5-shot revolver the other day and can find very little info on it. Would be interested to know the manufacturer/date and some value info. Maybe it's in an old Gun Digest? It is stamped NEF...

Hi guys, I think there was a fairly recent thread somewhere on TBN where a Subaru dealer mechanic participated? I'm looking at a new Subaru Forester (possibly Outback) and am concerned about their reliability and service history. We would hope for it to be our commuting vehicle between GA and...

Lest we all be consumed in this happy season with stories of unwanted neighbor actions like logging, lighting, or fence destruction, here is one in praise and thanks for GOOD neighbors. Is anyone else blessed like I am with great neighbors? Let's hear about them too! I got an unexpected call...

Maybe this should go in the Safety Forum? Gotta love our small town. I can imagine a slightly different outcome if this had happened in Los Angeles! Gun discharge damages restaurant - Jay

Hi guys, Thought there would be some previous posts about this CZ model (and variants), but forum searches only turned up TN 75 tractor topics! Anyway, wife had her Beretta 92FS 9mm stolen, so we went to replace it today and she REALLY liked the ergonomics of the CZ. I had always thought of...

Hi guys, I've got the little 69731 Predator vertical shaft engine retro-fit to a decent old mower I inherited. It HAS been great. But the carb primer bulb has ceased to function. Makes it VERY difficult to start. First, HF reps tell me that it is NOT in warranty, because it's not part of...

Hi guys, The rain and the deer have been cooperating, and we (she) got a BUNCH of green beans canned. Used the big 22qt pressure cooker with 7qts of beans at a time, which takes a LOT of heat! Had one jar break, so got a little bean juice seepage around the seal and then down right next to...

Can anyone post a schematic for the Cub 7260, particularly for the glow plug circuits? Else, can anyone say how any temperature sensing elements might be involved? - Jay

Hi guys, So I'm decking in a nice big section of attic (8' x 15') with a sloped roof over it ranging from about 4ft to 12ft high. In the lower areas, I'm thinking of cutting off any protruding roofing nails using a thin cutoff wheel in a disc grinder. Obviously, the nail shafts will very...

The electric PTO clutch on my LT1050 spontaneously drops out (de-energizes). It seems to maybe be vibration related. Our ground is rough and the deck belt is a little old and floppy, but neither are really anything extreme. I've checked all electrical connections and they seem to be clean and...

Any expert sheetrock finishers/painters on here? I've got a project that has stalled because I'm not sure what's the best way to proceed and could use some expert advice. Missus decided to strip the wallpaper in the little bathroom and paint it. I don't know how the walls were originally...

Hi guys, Anyone successfully removed the steering sector on a LT1050? Is it possible to do without pulling out the whole pedal mounting plate? I can't see a good way to get to the sector mounting nuts on the top of the plate. I'm trying to replace the tie rod end bushings and the nut is just...

Hi guys, Does anyone happen to know the bearing and seal dimensions for the blade spindles on the 40in commercial mower deck? The Gravely parts list shows them as: 9246P1 Bearing, Cones 9245P1 Bearing, Race 9206P1 Seal, Oil 9204P1 Ring, Seal A standard Timken bearing and seal part number...

Hi guys, Does anyone know if glyphosate (Round-Up) has a shelf life or expiration? I have a 2 1/2gal jug that is about 3 or 4 years old. It has been keep tightly closed in a cool basement. Is it still usable? Jay

Hi guys, My L4330 has recently developed a squeak somewhere in the lower parts of the front end, maybe around the right side power steering ram. It sounds like a rubber-on-metal squeak, but may be a hydraulic noise, I can't really tell. A brief inspection without any disassembly showed...

So the local hydraulic shop just called - they finished rebuilding my leaky LA853 curl cylinders. One had a pretty bad score in the bore, the other had slightly leaking piston seals, so they honed the scored one and rebuilt them both. Aftermarket (not Kubota) seal kits. Total proce of $240...

Hi guys, My bucket slowly droops, so something is leaking. I disconnected the hydraulic quick-connects to the bucket cylinders and the droop still happens, so the leak is evidently in the cylinder piston seals and not in the control valve. There is no external leakage. So on the assumption...

Had an exciting day Monday - the local propane co came to install my underground tank. I was the backfill man. Started by needing to raise/level the bottom of the hole about a foot. In order to get into position, I had to go through the woods to the back side of the hole. I usually don't do...

Hi gang, I have seen some conflicting info in web searches about this, so I need the collective braintrust of the forum to clarify! I am putting up a bunch (about 1400 sqft) of white pine tongue and groove ceiling. The ceilings are all vaulted with kraft-faced fiberglass batts between the...

Hi folks, I'm putting a wood-fired furnace in the new house. It came with a domestic hot water coil and I am trying to decide if I want to use/connect it. I know of no one who has any experience with this type of system, but I bet many on this forum do! I'll need about $100 of misc plumbing...

Any electricians on here? Is there any reason that I can't use a 3 way dimmer on both ends of a 3 way circuit (e.g., top of stairs and bottom)? I checked Leviton's dimmer wiring diagrams for 3 ways, and they only show a regular 3-way switch at the opposite end from the dimmer. -Jay

Hi all, Anyone know what all is involved in pulling a turbo from a Deere 755B trackloader? My BIL has one with a stuck turbo, and my suspicion is that it is just jammed with debris from a muffler that rotted out. - Jay

Hi collective experts, We are building a new house, about 2500 sqft with typical loads, probably not over 200A (not yet fully calculated out). But I'd like to use two separate load centers, one in the basement near the major loads (heat pump system w/2 10kw heat strips, conventional water...

Hi folks, I'm planning to install an electric gate opener soon at the farm, which is way too far from a power source for anything but battery power. I'd like to use a regular automotive or marine type battery, but if I just put it by the gate in a plastic battery box, I suppose it won't stay...

Just how flamable is UDT? I have about 5 gallons of used oil from the last change and a humongous slash pile to burn. - Jay

Hi all, I know that there's several real chainsaw experts on this forum, so hopefully it's a good place to ask: How much wear is acceptable on a chainsaw drive sprocket before it should be replaced? Mine has very slight, polished indentations (maybe a few thousandths) on the drive face of...

Hi folks, HF has their 1740# "super capacity" 4x8 tilt bed trailer on sale for $299 (SKU 94564). I've been thinking about one like this for hauling miscellaneous junk and an ocasional load of fill dirt. Anyone have any experience with the HF "Haul Master" trailers? I figure even if it's...

Me again. It seems to be home improvement weekend around here. The wife has me tearing out the old formica backsplash in the kitchen. She's planning to tile it after the new countertops get installed. So the formica was contact cemented to the underlying sheetrock really well, and about 1/2...

Any tile experts on here? Some of the grout in my tile shower started to fall out, so I'm re-grouting. I've used a grout saw (and various other implements!) to remove all of the loose grout. What's left now is very hard and almost impossible to get out. The tiles are VERY close together...

I recently had a county water line run down our driveway (1400ft) to our build site, and I installed yard hydrants along the way. The hydrant at the very end is the only one we've used very much; the rest are primarily for fire protection if the woods along the road catch fire. One blessing...

Hi folks, Maybe this doesn't fit in the Safety forum, but where else? Heard choppers very low behind my house this morning and went to look (with the camera) and saw this. Amazing! Both pilot and lineman must have nerves with more steel than those towers. These are 500kv lines. Wonder if...

Hi folks, We're starting to gather plans for the house at the farm, and one of our first decisions is to go with either 2x6 or 2x4 for exterior wall framing. This is for middle TN, where there are typically not weather extremes, nor severe wind loads, so I'm not really convinced that the extra...

Anyone have a good suggestion for how to clean out and seal a rusty old Coleman lantern gas tank? Will the POR15 stuff work? Anything less expensive? - Jay

In our dinky suburban garden, we've got a few aparagus crowns started (first planted last year). When they first sprouted this season, we got a few tiny spears, and then the plants went to ferns. My wife cut the ferns back, thinking it would force spears out, but the ferns have returned with a...

Hi folks, Any of you around middle TN know of a reputable timber buyer that might be interested in some walnut (and other hardwoods)? I'm having about 1600 ft of powerline run and the EMC cutting crew took down several large walnuts at the bottom of the hollow. Although I hate the thought of...

Hi guys, Here's a stupid newby question. I just got a 5 gal pail of Kubota SUDT. The spout has what appears to be a metal seal ring that needs to be broken to be able to pull up the spout. Is this right? I'm only familiar with pails of stuff like sheetrock mud where you cut the slots around...

Hi folks, Well, I decided to go with the "Waterline Bid". They started work last Friday. First step was getting in the tap/meter. I went with the 1" size due to the MUCH higher cost of the 2" (I'm having 2" water line run). They installed the meter box way too high for my liking, but...

Hi TBNers, Well after several years of trying to decide if a well would be adequate at our remote homesite, we got the bid to run the water line down our road to the homesite yesterday. Just shy of $30k. This also includes regrading and gravelling the road, and totals over 3800 ft. I guess...

While backdragging roots with the new toothbar last weekend (L4330 Kubota, LA853 loader, HD quick attach bucket, Markham Welding TB), the wife pulled the bucket off with a bang. Upon examination, what happend is that one of the tapered pins somehow turned 180 degrees in its guide and also broke...

Hi all, Anyone have any recommendations for some really good, durable seatcovers for the new worktruck? It will see lots of mud and rock dust, so we need something durable, but it also has to commute over 100mi/day, so comfortable in hot weather is important. The neoprene ones seem about...

Hi gang, Well after reading all of the chipper threads on here for about a year now, and watching everything that came up on e-bay for the last few months, I finally snagged a Morbark/Busy Beaver Model 125 from e-bay. What an awesome tool! It was bought new in 1993 by a gentleman farmer in...

Hi folks, Sorry for posting here; nowhere else seemed to fit. My dad gave me an old "Ohio Forge" tablesaw. Everything on it is perfect except for the aluminum casting on the end of the rip fence. I was surprised that I haven't been able to locate a parts source for Ohio Forge on the web...

Anyone ever have any success with patching a pinhole leak in a rigid fuel line? I was thinking that JB Weld might hold up to diesel well enough to do the job.

Hi TBNers, I recently sent the following question to BushHog: Hi Bush Hog, I am running my 286 with a Kubota 4330 (about 40 PTO HP). I’d like to set the slip clutch springs to an appropriate length to protect the PTO. The manual includes only a single spring length specification (1 – 3/32)...

I wonder how long I'll be kicking my *ss for not at least trying to grab this chipper: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7535950474&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

Anybody know what this thing is? We found it in an old barn we were tearing down. It's green glass, about 10" diameter with a steel/iron band around the middle with "ears" as if for hanging. The "cap" has a spring-loaded stem that apparently is designed to seal unless it is pushed in or...

WHERE\'S POLECAT!!!!!!!!!!!!??????? Anyone heard from Polecat lately? I kinda miss him!

Hi folks, The float detent in the control valve for my LA853 will no longer hold the control lever in float. I know that others have had similar problems, which seemed to be easily corrected. But does anyone now specifically what needs to be replaced or adjusted? I hate to ask my dealer to...

Can anyone ID the make and model of this hog? I borrowed it from my neighbor and bent the tailwheel. I'd like to order him a new one, but I cannot tell from the faded stickers who made the thing!

Hi folks, I have an old (~50-100yr) pear tree on my place that has had no tending in many, many years. It was almost choked to death by poison ivy vines when we bought the place. There were a number of smaller trees that had grown up around it and were sapping much of it's nutrients. After I...

Last weekend, my brother-in-law held the 4th annual Freewill Ridge Sorghum Festival and Old-Timers Day at his place in TN. The Kubotas came in handy. His little B2100 served as the mule for the sorghum mill after his big Belgian got tired. His M4800 towed the cane wagon. My L4330 hauled...

Hi all, I'm getting ready for my 50hr service on the new L4330. I've noticed that many on the forum mention cleaning the hydraulic/HST strainer, but I cannot find it's location on the 4330. Since it has both a regular fluid filter plus an HST filter, did Kubota not include a separate...

I noticed this weekend that the float position on my LA853 does not seem to work. There is supposed to be a detent on the joystick, past which point the bucket will float under it's own weight, right? There does not seem to be any detent on the stick/control valve. Pushing it forward lowers...

Thought this was cute.... It's Pa's donkeys begging for scraps of flapjacks off the camp stove on a cool crisp October morning last fall... still a little misty. Check out young Daniel Boone!

Hmmmm.... let me try this another way.. Does anyone know of a good source for replacement rock guards and knives for a sickle mower? Mine is actually a Gravely, but the parts are the same as for AGCO/Allis. I need about 20 of each.

Has anyone ever purchased replacement rock guards and/or knives from Mid-Continent Manufacturing? The prices sure look good. http://www.sicklesections.com

Got the new 4330 and wasted no time getting it dirty!
