My new travel trailer which uses a Dexter axle and electric brakes provides the procedure to follow to break in the brakes.

Does the 48” Land Pride still use clips to install the rippers? The EA uses pins. Clips are a PIA to use, pins are easy.

Take a gander here for bat houses… https://www.nwf.org/Native-Plant-Habitats/Plant-Native/Habitat-Essentials/Build-a-Bat-House https://www.batcon.org/about-bats/bat-gardens-houses/ https://www.batcon.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/4-Chamber-Nursery-House-Plans.pdf

I (we) ate dog daily in Zambales Province, Philippines; we landed on Green Beach and spent a week weapons training…the food was absolutely outstanding. The number of dogs in the village we passed through upon our arrival compared to the number of dogs we saw upon our departure was obvious…but...

Please rethink your 2WD preference over 4WD; I’ve been stuck in my gravel driveway while in 2WD and needed to go into 4WD to free myself. I use 4WD to get my 2WD F150 unstuck on the same driveway. I also use 4WD anytime I use the FEL.

When quality HSS turning gouges and skew chisels aren’t the answer carbide is the answer. For turning I’ve only used HSS, but all of my other wood shop tool cutters/blades are carbide tipped which cut through everything and seemingly last forever.

I mow when the grass is dry and the morning dew has evaporated and I clean my deck, once, at the end of each mowing season. Most years there is nothing to scrape off the underside of the mowing deck.

As good as my home cured bacon is; it’s best when cut into thumb sized pieces and deep fried in duck fat for 12 to 18 seconds…though not good for your heart it’s great for everything else.

I’m sorry, but spam in a can or otherwise is just not good. I was stationed in Hawaii for three years and I did not like spam before, during, or after regardless how it was served to me; I tried it too many times and found no preparation to be acceptable. Why eat spam when there’s bacon…I cure...

On my second file there is a drawing for installation on a BX24, which is what was available back then before the BX 25 and now the BX23S…”maybe“ it can be done on a BX23S as well. Maybe there is a chance that the ”U” shaped supports for your backhoe will hold/support the grass catcher that are...

On my BX1870, I had to install two support stays for my GCK 60–23BX…these stay on the BX1870, I do not know if that is compatible with the BX23S. There isn’t a lot if room back there.

Thanks for the Memories and the dreams…just don’t tell my brid.

Yes, as you well know 4WD is your friend; I use it anytime I have the FEL on and I cannot remember the last time I needed brakes with the FEL on, but I can remember the last the brakes were not enough when the FEL was off…turf tires, wet grass, hills, trees … pucker up big boy!!!

You’ll find the missing gloves next to your 10mm socket.

I remove the loader, it only takes a minute to do so.
