    What is/was your Profession?

    I know this was in the past but congrats on the certifications. I obtained my FF Level 2 back in 1993 and for 20 plus years bounced from a Capt. to a Lieutenant for my department. It is small but we respond to an average of 1200 calls a year. One of my favorite pics, I'm the officer you can...

    New B2601 is in!

    Nice tractor and yes now the fun begins. My uncle told be if I added one more thing to mine it would flatten the tires. The bucket hooks in IMHO are a must, I added 4 to mine and use them almost every time I use the tractor. Enjoy your new tractor. Jay

    I don't understand why anyone ...

    That is great, I'm a little OCD myself. When I'm ill or in a bad mood I organize and clean. Couple months ago was off a week and found myself washing and waxing the tractor and organizing the barn at 3:30 am. That was priceless when the door came up.

    Daily Chuckle

    I am a fireman and we like to prank! On weekends we would play Rook at nights killing time. One night EMS had a call so the medic on shift left. We knew when they returned it would be too late to resume playing so we felt timing was right to prank the medic. We took his box springs and put...

    How to torque engine parts under 10 lbs?

    As said above use a inch pound torque wrench, if yo uwere closer I could loan you one. I have a boat load of them as I do calibration for a living. Typical use range for peak performance is 10% to 90% of scale, much outside those parameters and you begin to sacrifice accuracy.

    New to forum and tractors

    My garden is 1 acre and I subsoil it each year to help keep the hard pan broken and to allow the water to soak in more easily. Do not have a tiller so I disk mine which works great. The best soil is the top 1 foot. I fill my garden each year with leaves and turn under and also plant a cover...

    We have 2000' of road I maintain, if it gets out of hand before I can work it I use a disk to break it up first before leveling. Do you have a disk, could try that? Jay

    Torque wrench broke head bolt. This sucks.

    My profession has been calibration for the last 18 years and I often calibrate torque wrenches. I have found dial type to be more reliable the click type. I find the click type out of tolerance much more often than dial. Most all manufacturer's recommend an annual verification/calibration of...
