Well, it's coming up on my favorite time of the year. Blue Gill season. My family looks forward to the fresh caught cold water Blue Gills. I get them when they are bedding, and I get some really nice ones just right for fileting, skinning and Panko breaded pan frying. I love seafood, but fresh...

That pin is awesome. Don't lose it or I'll find it with my metal detector and hold it hostage.😜😆

That's cool. Our 980 Cats at work had inline water and fuel filters. I was amazed at the amount of condensate water that was in the separator.

I would stand it upright so I'm staring right at the underside. As far as leaking oil out of the breather, that' shouldn't be an issue unless it will be vertical for a long period of time. 80/90 weight gear oil don't flow very fast and you may lose a few drops. Impact is the best to remove the...

If it turns out to be crappy fuel it probably is water in the fuel. Don't know if your machine has a water separator or not, but that would definitely help in the future

I started putting the 4' rabbit fencing around the garden. What I found was trying to put some tension on the fence, it pulled the T-post inward so the fence had looseness. Scratching head,I weighed all my options to get the fence tight. OK, being an electrician I immediately thought about EMT...

I could if I had a welder. I don't have much call for one otherwise There would be one sitting in the garage right now. ;)(y)

Over the years I worked the trades I was exposed to a multitude of different types of welders. The ones we had in the shop were all plugins. We also had several gas operated units that we used when plugging in was not available. 90% of ours were Millers and were great machines. The nice part...

I use my dif lock quite a bit. When there are times, I feel queasy about where I'm at, and think about those nasty "what ifs" I make sure I'm the one in control, not Murphy's law

I had some bucket hooks on my old 2380. I sold that tractor to my son, but the hooks came off and will be going on my new 2380 with Quick detach bucket. Old one was pin on bucket and I basically knew where they would work the best. Configuration of quick detach is different in layout. Where have...

Yes, you are correct. Problem is it sticks out quite a way and in a tight spot it may make that portion of the mow almost impossible to get to.

I thank God, he has spared my family from being in the middle of any tornado weak or wow! I have seen them from a distance and could seed the debris flying around knowing full well someone was having a very bad day. I have always been a storm watcher not chaser. The power of weather has always...

Thanks for all the responses. Just re-enforces my thoughts on mowing without the FEL getting in the way. Plus I have a lot of obstacles to get around like trees, gardens, and outbuildings. The other reason I don't mow with it on is there is a large section that at one time was lake bottom that...

Oh that's on my Christmas list.😜😆

Number Two where are you located here in God's country if you don't mind me asking.
