So I'm the proud owner of a free Honda Rancher. Of course there is no such thing as a free machine, but so far I have no money in it and I got it running, so far so good. It needs a battery and choke cable and the cooling fan hasn't come on yet. I'll change fluids although I'm told it had a...

I changed the engine coolant out a couple weeks ago and after following the manual for flushing the old coolant, I put in Zerex Extended Life at a 50/50 mix. After the engine comes up to temp, I can watch the temp gauge fluctuate between what was the normal operating temp and back down some...

We have had this guy coming around for a couple weeks now and he seems to like the horses. He even followed us once when we were moving the horses to a different pasture.

I need some ideas on converting this gravity feed day tank to a pumping tank for the tractor. The original design filled the tank and floats shut the pump off when full. I can switch the hose around to draw from the tank (got to add a pick-up tube) and I have a 5/8 hose with fill nozzle to get...

I was doing some log skidding this weekend when I noticed my 540 RPM light on. I idled down and it remained on. I engaged both the mid and rear PTO's and the PTO light cameon, the 540 light remained on at idle. After shuting down I checked for any loose connections under the tractor but...

Has anyone ever had any experience with this manfacturer? I visited a dealership in the big metropolis of Chewelah, WA and the owner/salesman was very helpfull/knowledgable about his product. He was quoting around 18K for the 45hp model w/loader. More specs at www.ranchhandtractors.com. The...

I thought about posting this in general attachments but decided I wanted a more focused opinion from the Blue team. As my landscaping progresses my little 42" mower becomes less of a convenience and more of a chore, time to bring in new team members. I have my eye on a Mott Super 88 flail...

I just wanted to show the casters that will soon be attached to the box blade. Picked them up at the recycle yard for $5 each. They still have the mold ribs on the tires. Seemed like a pretty good price to me. Now if I can just get some scrape square stock for the same price, guage wheels...

I had a friend deliver some hydraulic fluid to me as a favor after I said I needed to change mine. He picked it up at Costco for a good price but I can not cross reference it to the NH 134D spec. It says Hydraulic Fluid AW-46 on the container as well as some other specs. It contains anti-wear...

OK, let’s add another project to the list of things to do. The 90 acres south of me is being developed into 5 and 10 acre parcels, probably will see building in the next year or so. The owners originally planned to use our drive for access and have easement established with the county. The...

It seems our 8-week-old Lab is defective. While taking our early evening stroll, she poked her nose in the air to sniff something. It was a deer standing less than 30 feet away and she never even saw it. Siena was looking the opposite direction when the deer moved off, but she still had the...

Scratch n\' Dent sale at TSC Angry Driver Mows Down Lawn Mowers Thursday, April 21, 2005 What's the first thing you do when you have a fight in your car with your lady love? Why, drive into a row of lawn mowers, of course. That's what Brownwood, Texas, police figure 19-year-old Joseph...

Nothing better than relaxing by the fire with a barley pop after a hard days work. Telling tales of who worked harder and who's gonna show who tomorrow. Actually, the fire is all that's left of about 20 Alders and a dozen or so stumps with a little slash thrown in. Most were in the 4"-6"...

Well, I have to feed the horses tonight because the CFO is in Seattle at a hair show. Now I know style is important, but for me the difference between a good haircut and a bad one is two weeks. Nevertheless, she’s down there and I’m sure she’ll find something she needs…$$$. Which brings me...

Well it happened today . I turned on the key and waited for the glow plug light to extinguish. Light out, rotate key to ingnition...nothing . Well I've read enough posts on TBN to say hmm, maybe I got a loose/disconnected wire. I'm very careful about going going over stiif brush but...

I can\'t imagine the pain This is a story that made the Seattle news last night...I can't imagine how this uncle feels. GRAHAM - A 4-year-old Pierce County boy was run over and killed by a bulldozer Friday in what a sheriff's officer described as a tragic accident. The boy had been visiting...

I was sent to this website as a means to bid on some government boats that will be coming up for auction. This could be a very dangerous place but after seeing a listing for a KC-135A aircraft engine, I just knew that some of the folks at TBN just might have to own this thing. 4000hp, would...

Well, I spent the morning searching for someplace to put this nut I found lying in my drive. It is obviously one that hasn't been around as long as some of my other equipment so I have to assume it fell of the TC33D. I had planned to do a thorough inspection at the 50 hr. service but did it...

I wanted to post this story for the TBN members as a reminder about how quickly things can go wrong. A friend of mine (Bill) hired a local logging outfit to drop some trees on his property. We would have done it ourselves but most were near a power line and we figured a few dollars was worth...

I'm looking for ideas on welding a lifting hook on the top of my NH 7308 FEL. The rolled steel seems a bit thin for a direct weld and I don't want to pick any heavy loads from the side. I suppose I could have some 3/8" steel rolled to the same shape and reinforce the center of the bucket. Has...

I have a new 33D (13hrs) that I've been putting through the paces here in the sunny northwest. All box blade work with a little FEL inbetween. Today, after about 5hrs of pretty steady work the tractor started to "lope" at RPM's. Almost like it had a cam in it. Let me give the facts: 1...
