I do most of my own work, have not had anything major done in a while, the last was condenser coil on 2015 Silverado for $900. I must be out of touch from what I'm hearing. Same truck at 124k miles and their telling me ticking time bomb for the transmission to fail. Some recent horror stories...

So I 'think' I've bought my first tractor (it's on hold), and now I need implements. I've read a bunch and watched a lot of videos on the subject of gravel road maintenance, but I'm still unsure what I need. The road is about 14ft wide. My road is in OK condition (mild to moderate wash...

My NH 3930 was blowing fuses and I found a chaffed wire that had been rubbing on the metal hydraulic line. There really is not enough room to do much with this wire to repair it, so I just cut a small length of tubing to put on the wire so it could no longer touch the hydraulic line. However...

The other day we were using the tractor (Ford 4000 3 cylinder diesel) and it bogged down and cut off when we were on a hill. We figured fuel got too low and sucked in air. We bled all the fuel lines, etc, but think we fried the starter in the process because it started making a terrible clicking...

Those of you that have had to take your tractors in for repairs, are you satisfied with the repair times? I have two Kubotas. The L5740 is older and, therefore, been in the shop more. I had one repair that took over 8 weeks. That one was the ECT module. Currently, my L5740 has been in the...

I have an old B. F. Barnes lathe that was probably made in the late 1890s and certainly no later than 1906. I have been acquiring age appropriate stuff to go along with it, stuff that was made no later than 1906. The lathe itself is in very good shape, not just cosmetically but also...

A critter in the yard chewed a small hole in our mower's plastic gas tank and I am hoping to find a repair sealant that will stand up to gasoline.

In many, many other threads, when someone mentions the need to get a flail mower rotor balanced due to vibration, the response is typically "find a reputable driveline shop and they'll fix you up." I've called all of the reputable driveline shops within 2 hrs. and they all stated they can only...

So my dad just bought a tractor, and when getting it off the truck the bucket came down and lifted up the tires. The controls no longer seem to be working (possibly because a bunch of hoses i ripped off). Is there a way to lift the bucket up so the tires will be on the ground? Any ideas? My...

Hey guys, I’m rebuilding a Mott 60 flail mower I picked up for $200. I’ve priced out the parts I need and it’ll run me around $650. The bearings and housings are almost $160 per side. Ive cleaned everything up as best I can. My concern is on the cuttershaft ends. One side looks good but the...
