Yesterday spent 3 1/2 hours of seat time cleaning up ice storm damage. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I hated to lose this larger red pine. I put in a tiny watering station for wildlife and chose the location due to being somewhat hidden and this pine was part of that.

The 320-013a floating top link kit is not necessary when using your cutter. It was designed for the cutters below s.n. 953490.

I would have no way of knowing or judging due to not knowing what jobs you need the tractor to accomplish. Perhaps you regularly lift 1500 lb pallets , hay bales or totes with hardwood firewood on your acreage, then I would say no, its not overkill. And of course I only offered my take on my...

I fully agree. I have 57 acres and perfectly happy with the frame size and HP of my L2501hst. I have never been able to wrap my head around the concept of solely basing or even the first priority of amount of acreage determines the size of the tractor. I based my tractor purchase on my...

I also have a Milwaukee M18 grease gun with lock n lube. With my particular situation it is nice that I do not have to use both hands to pump a manual traditional style grease gun. I also have two manual grease guns, traditional style and a small tube one hand style, but the go to gun is the...

3 glow plugs . A single wire comes off the relay to one glow plug and then a strap connects the 3 together .

I believe that is the symbol for a chassis ground, as compared to an earth ground symbol which is normally an inverted triangle with three lines. if you notice the starter in the wiring diagram uses the same ground symbol.

A few pictures came in from one of the volunteer planters showing a wide view of the area.

I had a very successful tree planting work day yesterday. 300 burr oaks and 75 white oaks hand planted . I started my day early and picked up the trees at the nursery and was on my land with them about 830 am The weather was perfect, cool with little wind. I had a total of 11 volunteers...

Agree, Besides the floor boards are very compact between the door sills and a very wide transmission tunnel, you have the left side main frame rail that runs laterally right tru the center of that small floor board. IF he could have gotten thru that floor board he would have had to contend...

One of the sites that reported said, "The single occupant, male driver, was possibly ejected through the floor of the classic Ford Bronco authorities believe. It appeared no windows were shattered." The wording , "possibly" and "it appeared no windows were shattered" seem like pretty weak...

Hard to see in the two pictures , but suspicious about being ejected thru floorboards. I think it might be much more likely thru a door window or the back window. From the picture of the bottom , I would think you might see light thru the floor area with the bright sunlit area behind. I see...

Curious , if the outside walls of the bushing are straight sided why you did not just turn the bushing to outside dimensions, diameter and length, chuck up in 3 jaw chuck, then drill a hole slightly smaller than the small end of taper , then switch to boring bar and cut the inside to dimension...

I was starting to think the first shed I was going to find would be sticking into one of my tractor tires! Sorry you lost a tire.

I have owned my habitat land (57 acres) for 8 years now. I have not found a shed or matching pair , mostly due to the fact I am a full time user of a manual wheelchair and do not walk or spend time in the deer bedding thickets etc. That being said I went down to the land today to jump on...
