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)...

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...

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...
