    M5111 auxiliary front work lights

    Congrats on the tractor and welcome aboard! You could check to see if the extra wires have been taped over with the wires that feed the amber lights. My L4240 didn't have rear work lights from the factory. There were wires with a plug on them that were hidden under black tape near the rear...

    New or Used, would love advice

    I bought used tractors (Cub 154 LoBoy, Ford 1210, Kubota 4240HSTC) and new tractors (Kubota B7500HST & Kubota L3200HST). I appreciate the warranty that come with a new tractor and the fact that I'll know how it was used and taken care of since it left the dealership. With the exception of...

    At what temperature do you plug in your block heater?

    I'm not suggesting my method is good. Since 1990 with one gas tractor and four diesels I believe I may have plugged one of them in once. It seldom gets below 0°F here.

    Are they all this STUPID?

    A career in construction exposed me to all sorts of people I wouldn't invite to a BBQ. A couple of us retirees gather for breakfast monthly and one of the topics of discussion is that we should get together and write a book. Sometimes people are so intent on causing trouble that they are too...

    Many years ago this assortment of Greenlee vacuum attachments came along with the conduit fishing kit was sent to our jobsite. Betcha can't guess which one made everyone giggle .

    Are they all this STUPID?

    If the construction would never change hands it wouldn't be so bad. The real danger is when some unsuspecting soul falls for the lipstick and doesn't see the pig. Having seen some so-called "improvements" made to houses when I was going along house shopping with #3 Son, that's correct. When...

    Are they all this STUPID?

    There's no fiscal responsibility being shown. They recently broke ground on a "municipal complex" that may cost in excess of $14M for a town of 8,000 people! Next they'll be hiring assistants for the assistants - all of whom will be highly compensated.

    Air compressor expansion

    At work we had an air line that ran from a heated building through the air for about 6'. That was enough to cause condensate.

    Are they all this STUPID?

    I did look at the situation honestly and objectively. I still cannot fathom why the person who made the determination that there was a problem, can't simply stop by and see if the very simple fix matches the very simple engineer's drawing. The repair cost is under $5 because as trustees we...

    Are they all this STUPID?

    As a trustee of our church, I get involved in anything having to do with any repairs or construction. We own a rental property that the borough inspects periodically. The house is an old structure and on the last inspection the borough codes guy found a short floor joist with a crack at each...

    Strange Blade

    Paul B Hardware. It's a local firm with a few locations. They offer services that I used before I retired. We used the Lititz location (actually in Lincoln, an area just West of Ephrata PA). I could email their fab shop a DXF file of something I drew up and they'd make it. I ran our fab...

    Strange Blade

    Cut the end cap off of the main tube yesterday. The inside had rust and some dirt. I have a list of parts to pursue - pins, bushings etc. It appears the main reason for the PO to have welded it was that the pin that the blade rotates on is snapped about 1/2" down in the plate. Still...

    Strange Blade

    Long story but after considering different implements to solve a problem with too much dirt one place and not enough in another a search on FBM led to buying the 84" Pequea blade below. It has height-adjustable scarifiers that flip up when not needed. The seller provided a very good...

    Radio Flyer Wagon

    As a former Wagon Pilot it stood out to me. To steer the wagon down Dead Man's Hill the handle had to be oriented so it could be steered from inside the wagon:)
