Exactly. My experiences are similar to yours. Very convenient, effective, and versatile.

I am very lucky to have a large industrial surplus seller just a couple of miles from where I live. I'm in there on almost a monthly basis for bolts and screws, steel, stainless, aluminum, or even HDPE stock. Or, just to wander around and see 'what's new'. A couple of years ago, I bought...

If by "conventional oil" you mean dino juice (as opposed to synthetic), I have a comment. Most casual use diesel owners are never going to benefit from synthetic. Especially with diesels, you'll want to change oil because of the heavy soot (or other contaminant) load in it before you worry...

First thing I'd do is let my fingers do the walking. Around here, (southeast PA), there are at least a dozen outfits in the area that would buy the entire building outright for the scrap lumber. They'd have something like that gone in a week. You would not need to lift a finger. There's also...

Is this it? Here's the shaft itself. Looks like it's available, but not in stock, at Messick's: You can look up other parts on the diagram, here: Kubota G1800-S (SN:50001- / Rear tire size 23x8.50-12) Parts Diagrams -Paul

My son and I have been renting a 6000SF converted mushroom barn since 2012. Very low rent. Electric bill is higher than the rent! Concrete block walls. It had already been converted (poorly) into something resembling a shop, and has evolved since. Son does resto-modding on commission - mostly...

Disclaimer: I have done no small animal vet work for the last 40 years (I'm pigdoc). So, when it comes to small animal, I'm strictly a buyer, like y'all. What I see is all these mom-and-pop vet clinics getting sucked up into franchises. Then, the beancounters get their grubby mitts on things...

Very happy with the one I got for my L2500 off eBay a couple of years ago. Pliable waterproof cover that keeps the foam dry, hard plastic bucket, and bolt holes in all the right places. I think they were metric thread. Very sturdy and comfortable unit. This one, I think...

One of the gambits they use is to ask, "Is there any reason you can't buy this (implement/tractor/car) today?" I respond by asking, "Is there any reason you can't SELL it today?" I'm sure that's part of the standard training... -Paul

Well, there are THICK layers of pottery-grade fine clay around here. Where I find it is about 2 feet below grade when I dig down to access the pitless adapter (and its nipple). Same 'vein' is seen in the cut for our driveway. It's at least 5 feet thick. Remarkable stuff. I took a 5-gallon bucket...

Looks like it has only been used for 'test' work, but then stored outside. Here's another one, FS in WA: 2022 KUBOTA BX2816 For Sale in Lynden, Washington | TractorHouse.com -Paul

Sounds like great advice! I have not noticed a difference in how the pressure tank switch cycles the pump on and off. In other words, the pump-on cycle is not prolonged. I can measure that when wife takes her 15-minute showers. :p Something to monitor, I guess... And, we don't pull through...

Throwing out a chance for comment from the experts. I live near the top of the south slope of a mountain that is bristling with natural springs. Probably ranges between 5% and 20% slope, all towards the south. Terrain is solid glacial moraine (rock from the Laurentian shield). Nothing with much...

I rented a house near a landfill for 6 years. The well was deep ~500 feet. Intermittently, 'air' would come out of the spout when the faucet was turned on. At one point, the landlord was compelled by the Health Department to test my water. Tech came out, and before sampling, he flamed the the...
