I ordered a set of LED worklights from Amazon and got a stuffed dinosaur. They had me ship the dinosaur back first and then shipped out the lights after verifying it was a dinosaur. The label on it actually said LED lights. I bet someone put the label on the wrong item.

I think if you use more then 1 size auger the holes will drift. The screw point on my auger seem to be the guide. Not sure about the pto hp needed for an 18 inch auger though.

That's state and local level probably to offset the sales tax on gas you don't pay plus training first responders and buying needed equipment for EV crashes. Fed highway tax is around the corner. About time EV owners pay their share.

A simple Christmas lunch. Last summers garden butternut and sweet potatoes from the root cellar roasted. Garden green beans we froze and applesauce we canned along with some ham.

I read they are working on the taxation now to equal the road tax on fossile fuel. For many states sounds like it will not be by the mile but rather by the KWH the vehicle is replenished with during charging tracked buy VIN and billed either at refueling or monthly. Even if you charge at home...

Right now in cold weather at $2.49 a gallon my truck averages 22.6 mpg and costs me 11 cents a mile to drive. The average for the lightning in winter is approximately. 5 kwh per mile. My electricity rate is 33 cents a kwh delivered that would bring it to 16.5 cents a mile not counting the 6%...

China will make replacements for under $10k I bet.

When I moved my Bridgeport, I took (4) 12 inch 4 x 6 pressure treated scraps and cut one end to look like a staircase with 3/4 inch x 3/4 steps. I raised it with a Johnson bar one step at a time going around it so 4 x 4s would slide under and lag bolt in place. Then bought a harbor freight...

Sounds like how they fix Kubotas. Keep throwing parts and labor at them until they find the actual problem. You may want to see if it's covered under the furnace parts warranty if its that new and maybe have them send you a spare. Love these posts because we have all been there.

A guy the next road over bought a electric suv 2 years ago and traded it in less then 6 months. When temperatures got below zero charging it cost a fortune. Apparently when you leave them outside there are heaters in the batteries that use a tremendous amount of electric when exposed to 5...

I use 90% rubbing alcohol to clean mine a couple times a year. Gets that acid rain residue off them that causes streaking. Just don't try it on pure rubber blades. We use oem blades and get 3 to 4 years.

Time to start casting. Make a sand mold of the 3d printed part, melt down your scrap and chips then pour 🤔. Perfect part in under a hour. Chinesium collets can be far from perfect.
