Say what?

First, a rule-of-thumb: Don't stand under the pruner! If the falling branches don't get you the "sawdust" might fall in your eyes and gift you with a very bad day[emoji2959]. Secondly, there's a reason you cut, sand, drill, etc against a heavy platform, table, vice, etc - so what you're working...

Just build a doghouse. Make it 3-sided with the roof and the "front" removable for service and be absolutely sure you include vents or louvers for air passage.

Is there a Harbor Freight store near you? I'd look there to find a match. Looks like a vertical shaft engine and replacement should be do-able.

I'd go the suction dredge route if it's doable. Thing is, and I don't recall clearly, any suction will only lift x feet. So in mines, as an example, they have multiple lifts.

I've always thought - Yellow for Diesel fuel, Red for Gasoline, Green or Blue for water.

'Nother case of the safety nannys going overboard. Just how many gasoline fill "accidents" have there been anyways?

If the pipe run is solid PVC and well glued how are the roots getting in? Gotta be a gap somewhere.

By all means talk to an attorney. Just remember that previous "arrangements" can effect your understanding with a local guy.

PS. I'm not a lawyer and I'd bet nobody on this forum will admit to being one either. Having said that I recall a similar situation, back in the 80's(?), where it was mentioned that messing with the Mail was a Federal Offense. Document EVERYTHING and consult a lawyer! Or retreat and lick your...

If you are the newbies in your local area you're starting from a handicap. If "They" are old money, or original (anything over 10 years) residents or settlers you're starting from a handicap. If They are handicapped or elderly you're starting from ... Etc (big time). Not to say you cannot...

I don't know enough to judge but 75 mph (Speed Limit (!)) on a spare? Raises my hackles for sure.

I have been looking @ Rural King, Home Depot, Lowe's and Ace. And the preponderance of fertilizer I have seen is dry for a spreader. Hey that's okay, we have a broadcast tow-behind for the lawn tractor but I was thinking the liguid, concentrate, would be an advantage. Hasn't worked out that way.

Thanks! I haven't looked at Agri Supply in several years. Worth a shot, maybe.

I have a tow-behind sprayer. Probably a 25 gallon unit and I'd like to use it but here in north central Florida I've had zip-O luck finding liquid lawn fertilizer! Seemed like a great idea. And I bought it so I could use it with Graze-On and such so the horses (2 minis) would get the benefit of...

Interesting conversation! Seems like "Good fences make good neighbors." AND Good neighbors make good fences (!).

I recall a discussion about "Adverse Possession", probably in the 80s(?) and the conclusion was that it was an old and outmoded concept and no longer applicable. That being said a true legal opinion is needed. As with most things YRMV.

Only one solution - IF & only IF, because of the effort and price involved, is to remove the frame from the body and the engine & running gear, strip and repair as needed, then high zinc primer then paint with "undercoating" (covers and still allow the frame to flex) then put everything back. Of...

One last thing - don't let yourself get trapped into some emotional feud/spitting match, life's too short to be a child longer than needful.

One - you're gonna have neighbors whether you like them or not. Two - you want them to respect your property as much as you do theirs. Three - clearing enough to allow you to maintain the fence is cheapest NOW and EXPENSIVE later. Last if you make an agreement with your current neighbors you...

Is the well string in a casing? (Should be.) It is possible to use tall "farm" jacks to lift the entire string and pump, 2' at a time with 2 jacks but you'll - need to have a large pipe wrench or clamp of some sort to tighten on the string (yes this works _much_ better with metal pipe!) to keep...

You are talking about constructed headlines (composed for grabbing the attention of gullible consumers - i.e. you and me) not accurate reportage. Sidebar - I refuse to call propaganda journalism any longer it's all the big lie. Term it agitprop, much more appropriate.

Horse Etiquette? Maybe the title of this string should be "neighborhood etiquette" instead. In any case a topic like this needs a non confontational approach.

I've been told that horse manure does not make good fertilizer. The vegatative matter is not as digested as cow manure. Possibly because cows chew their cud and horses do not(?).

I think the OP needs to clarify 2 things - the "community property" of the road and whether or not the neighbors are operating a commercial (and) for profit enterprise. We live outside of Ocala Florida so horses are everywhere. We have 2 minis, VSEs (small ponies) and keeping the quantity of...

Yes.

"Jule"??? Did you mean Yule?

Knotheads are, unfortunately, universal.

We heard of one, not a close friend, during early summer. But the local news was/is also full of reports, and numbers, of elderly in the retirement communities nearby that were passing due to COVID and complications. (I do NOT ascribe 100% accuracy to ANY news outlet, but there it is.)

There was a brief surge of news about 3d printing houses. Now that would be progress.

I think most people would know the difference between manure smell and septic tank.

Yes that should have been encountering. Spelling Nanny got me again [emoji2959].

I've found that it helps to put a cup under the spout of a Keurig[emoji53].

I'm putting in a short length of fence next to the house, meant to hide the AC units - a honey-do. While digging the post holes it's come as a surprise to me to find how much clay I'm encouraging. The soil at the house pad is about 6-10 inches deep then a clay layer, then (about 16" deep)...

Sheet metal, time and advertising.[emoji2955]

You're working on the shop building that I want (also) tho on a smaller scale. Mine would have two of the aisles, middle and left, drive thru with front and rear roll ups for wife's horse trailer and the truck and definitely I would add a john room with a toilet, sink and shower. Right aisle...

Dogs are great Beggar Lice finders. My pet-barber wife reminds me of that every time the pooch gets out!

We are in North Central Florida, Marion county. moved here at retirement, 3 yrs ago. Moved from Brevard county, Florida east coast. Having spent 60 years in Florida, and feeling like the hurricane season wasn't about to ease off anytime soon. I refused to live without a whole house generator...

Good to hear that all is being repaired!

That wear is (extreme but) typical for blades used in sandy, Florida, soil. I have had to change and/or discard a set every 3 months.

Won't work for me, doesn't work for wifie.

Ah me. This is a perfect example of a consumer trusting too much, too far, and too often. Once the house is done and occupied why do people believe the builder is still concerned. What _should_ have transpired is that with the deed and title of the property the owners gets a complete (and...

3 point hitches have that peculiarity. They will not move vertically AND plumb without help. If they were "4 point" (ie a trapezoid) then you could expect the verticals to be, well, vertical.

Looks like a Rake of some sort Unless you want a hobby of restoring old stuff I'd pass it on. Maybe to a scrap metal dealer.

I was considering a late August visit to New Orleans. Was. Maybe I'll reconsider.

34Willys I like your pump house! Ours is a 12x12 roofed corral made of 1x6 ranch boards and was done with fence paint. Ugly and dark inside. If I redo it, not in the budget just now, I'll use your doghouse idea. Also we need to run electric out to wife's horse stalls so probably will install a...

I picked up a Kobalt 40v string trimmer and then a hedge trimmer during a sale. They work well for wifie. I've got a gas powered Husqvarna string trimmer for heavy stuff.

I think it may be that your local authority _ might_ have an opinion on the slab around the well casing. But only to insure that nothing can sleep down along the outside of the casing to the water layer you're tapped into. We're it me I'd form and pour a large enough slab to build your well...

Thank you. I did not know that Kohoutek was a Czech word. (My paternal family line is Czech in origin).

Kohoutek?

You don't have to look farther than the Atlantic Coast states - the location of the "Ellicott Rock", GA/NC, makes for interesting reading.

We needed to take out a large front yard tree and rental 3 sections of scaffolding. Worked the trick! So that's what I'd do for any high work. I just can't bring myself to trust extension ladders.

9 acres. Even better.

200k for home on 6 acres? Sounds like a steal to me.

Thanks! I see At&T is claiming _nobody_ needs fiber-to-home. (Makes me want to tell them where they can put their O-pee- noon!)

Bingo! BlackBerry winery. Make a good product, put a fancy name on it and they'll be queued up at your door.

Hmm Starlink's speeds are up and down? Can you elaborate on that?

I'm puzzled by the wheels I see for tube gates. The spring, at least in the version I'm looking at, is captured by a u shaped bracket. But shouldn't the spring be anchored to the vertical axle (that is affixed to the wheel)? So that the wheel stays in contact with the uneven ground while the...

We have so-so cell signal. The reviews on Amazon for boosters mention that the boosted signal is good if you're right on top of the indoor repeater and drop off dramaticly as you move away. WTF!!? I was thinking about getting a booster, not I'm not so sure. Can anybody accurately describe what...

Maybe I'm off base, give me your considered "country living" opinion. Basic facts - we moved in 2 weeks ago, smallish place - 3 acres fully fenced We need a horse barn for wife's minis but had to remove trees to erect it. While watching the tree crew at work wife calls my attention to a guy...

We had a local fencing company redo a large dog-run/paddock with woven wire and top rail. The horizontal brace posts follow the ground contour where they approach the house walls. It looks odd. I'm thinking - could I pull out the pegs that pin the braces to the line posts and redrill/insert them...

A shot of our east living room ... i.e. a work in progress. My next big effort includes 2 items - a network guru is coming by to assess the house and maybe get the cabling working. A secondly you're looking at it - 21 boxes in the lower left corner of the frame need to go into those IKEA library...

I have a manual for a 1510D that I no longer need. Anyone interested? You pay postage from Marion County, north-central, Florida.

I have three 4-way brass hose adapters and one appears to be leaking thru one of the 4 outlet ball valves. Are they repairable?

So far as I can see L&G tractors (and I pursume, ride-ons?) are notorious for the inaccuracy of the cut adjustment. Is there a solution? So far it seems like the only _practical_ fix is different tires front and back. I've also looked at blocks to raise the frame relative to the wheels. That...

Wifie would like to get a tow behind Lawn Sweeper. Anybody have experience with the Northern Tool Ohio Steel Sweepers?

There's a company named Currie Engineering that sells a Stick Rake that I'd like to have. However they're in Australia! Anybody know of a a US dealer? Or have one of these rakes?

Looking for comments pro and con on this as I believe I'm going to pull the trigger on one. Really would like to have a Kubota BX but for our 1.5 acres with cross fencing even the smallest one would be overkill I'm thinking. And while one in a (great) while a front bucket and a box blade could...

While we were away some "kind" soul helped themselves to the AC unit on our doublewide. SOBs Had the sheriff out, they took fingerprints and some evidence then we filed a claim with the insurance. When we get a new unit I want some security for it. I've seen ads for a thing called...

The Craftsman Garden Tractor we have must be close to 20 years old. I forget the model but it has a Kohler (Command?) twin with Hydrostat and a 46 inch deck. For various reasons we'd like to baby this beast along till next year. The biggest problem with it is the steering linkage, something...

I'm replacing the "pan" seat on my wife's 1510D. The new seat (from Hoye) will fit better after I finish a little work on the seat post. A picture is attached. Can anyone tell me what was attached to the base where the arrow is pointing? I have removed the two 6 mm x 1.00 hex screws that...

Our 1510D is a 2 point to 3 point conversion and has a set of long stud surronding the PTO output shaft. How much trouble is it to to get those studs out? I'd like to fab. a 3 point shield & replace the studs with short hex bolts. TIA cvt

We were in Ocala (Florida) this week & stopped at Warren Auctions. They had a 3-point rake that is fifferent from those I have seen before. Up to now the Rakes I've seen advertised have curved teeth made of flattened bar stock. The rakes I saw at Warren's had tines made of rod stock, they...

Anybody know what this might be? My wife spotted it mowing and we can't figure out what it might have been. It appears to pivot on an axle of some sort through the center hole. The one "horn" (right in the picture) has a rusted screw in it. The other horn has a hole in the same spot and the...

Hydraulic Fluid Disposal I need to drain & refill our tractor tranny. Can the old oil be added to the used oil tanks at AutoZone, etc.? TIA cvt

IIs there a significant difference between the profile cut on a Kubota tractor PTO output stub-shaft and others? I have a Walterscheid PTO shaft that will fit on and release from a brand new Kubota tractor but will fit but NOT release when I use it on our Yanmar. Perhaps I've misunderstood but...

Elsewhere you may have seen my postings about a jammed PTO "Push-Pull" Quick Disconnect. So far I have not made any progress getting it loose, off or replaced. Partially because I can seem to find parts. I'm wondering if the problem might be that I have not identified the PTO Shaft properly...

This month we finally hooked-up the Finishing Deck that we bought to use with our YM 1510D. It’s a BEFCO Cyclone & works fine, however hooking it up was another matter. The driveshaft (which is apparently a WALTERSCHEID unit by the instruction booklet) has a "Push-Pull Lock" Quick Release...

I've got a (Sunpro) gauges set that I want to add to our 1510D. There have been several discussions about adding gagues but beore I start I'd like to have one piece of info that I didnot see explained - how the dashbaord is attached to the cowling shhet metal. The Parts Manual that I have...

All the 3 - pt rakes I've seen lately (including the one I bought) have teeth made of flat bar stock bent into a 3/4 circle. Yet I think I once saw one being used that had teeth that resembled the tines of a hay fork - they were rods with blunt points bent into a 3/4 circle. Does anyone make...

I noticed that the ball socket on the left side link on our tractor is much looser than the ball socket on the right side link. I will probably buy a replacement link but I saw that Agri Supply has ball sockets & replacement balls listed in their catalogue & I think I've also seen them in the...

We bought a YM1510D this week. While I'm waiting for the manuals to arrive could somebody answer a couple of questions for me concerning the dashboard? The idiot lights are for what functions? Is that really a Horn button I see? It has what I take to be a horn decal but the button doesn't...
