    To those looking for 20.5x8-10 tires

    Ok, good luck. You now at least know you can expand/refine your search by looking for Goodyear trailer tires in that size.

    To those looking for 20.5x8-10 tires

    That's not the original style tire. That's a trailer tire. Many have used those as a replacement when the original turfs were discontinued. And actually, now that I think on it, I believe the originals might have been made by Firestone.

    To those looking for 20.5x8-10 tires

    As you've clearly discovered, you are hunting for a unicorn. You might try Mountainman (listed on the Vendor's page) who has a small-tractor salvage yard. Not made by Goodyear, but have a very similar tread pattern and size...

    HST oil

    The MSDS for Canadian "Premium UDT" shows it is made by Shell Canada Products in Alberta. The material description indicates it is made of "highly refined mineral oils". Duratran is good stuff, probably at least as good or better. But it's not the same.

    Possible hose leak, but trying to figure out what it is

    Could be. But in addition to the random teeth marks, some of the rounded corners are crushed. In any event, I don't think the wire wrap will interfere with a crow's foot wrench. And I think the 6-point style provides a more positive engagement compared to the open wrench style. But that's just...

    Possible hose leak, but trying to figure out what it is

    Should be easy enough to retract the protector if required, however his third photo shows the spring does not extend over the crimp portion of the fitting. (That's where I see what I believe to be plier or vise-grip scars).

    Possible hose leak, but trying to figure out what it is

    Looking at the pictures, he might benefit from a 6 point flare nut crow's foot wrench set and a long extension. Edit - Something like this: https://www.homedepot.com/p/SUNEX-TOOLS-Crowfoot-Wrench-Set-Sun9710M/300685581?MERCH=REC-_-pipsem-_-326961462-_-1-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a-_-n/a

    Possible hose leak, but trying to figure out what it is

    Looks like someone used pliers or vise-grips on that hose in the past.

    Land plane

    I pull a 50" land plane (home made) with my 16hp B7100. It does the job: (NB: I follow it up with a water-filled roller. Helps keep it put longer.

    Canada to Quickly increase its population

    I'm not sure where you got your information, but it's not accurate. Canadian Citizenship originated in 1947. Natural-born Canadians, including those born outside of Canada if their father was born in Canada or was a British subject with Canadian domicile were deemed Canadian citizens as of that...

    Canada to Quickly increase its population

    Not exactly. It's not really new, either. It restores rights that were removed in 2009 (the First Generation limit). That removal was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.

    Has anybody tried efficiamax?

    Hurray! A fuel additive that can be used in diesel OR gasoline engines! It simultaneously raises the Cetane rating while lowering the ignition temperature! How does this magic goo work you ask? Wait. Isn't that pretty much the dictionary definition of knock?

    I can't remember when I last saw a website so full of meaningless buzzwords.
