    3’ in Troy! Wow! It’s been about 20 years since I’ve been to Troy. The day/night before we moved after graduating from UofI, it snowed about 30” from Moscow to the top of the canyon above Lewiston. The only white stuff on the ground here is sand 😝🤣🤣

    About 2800 miles away. It was time for a change. The first “winter” we were here, I had a panic attack because I forgot to winterize the RV! Then it hit me!

    Apparently a lot of folks throw that little fitting away, not knowing it's in the box. Customer service gave me the heads up. My son said the same about JIC. If it's any thing like my other project (1954 Chevy 1/2 ton onto an S10 frame and the brakes fittings), I never order fittings...

    Hello, I bought a B7100D with a 1630 FEL, 5’ rake, and finish mower for $4300. Before we paid the seller, everything functioned except the instruments and the 3pt lever was seized. After we got home, I changed every fluid and spin on filters. The tranny/hyd fluid was milky at initial fluid...
