I mentioned in another post that the tractor speeds were different at a given RPM and gear range depending on whether the Auto Throttle Advance (ATA) is ON or OFF. So today I took some time and made several trips back and forth on the driveway to see for myself what the differences were. All...

From the same era. Found this and had to have it:

Eye bolt twister. Made from an extra paint can opener. My trailer has around 20 eye bolts in the top sideboard for fastening a tarp. Small pilots were drilled to get them started. Should note it won't work well for trigger mashers who can't operate a variable speed drill. The eye bolts work...

If you remember these, you're probably around 70 or so:

Anyone have an idea what the flow rate might be on an L4240 third function line? Thanks.

Was making a run along the edge of the road to clear the shoulder for the postman. Looked down at the RF tire and saw it was half off the rim. The outside tire bead was off the outside of the rim. Fortunately it was an easy fix. It was simple to use the FEL for a jack and pull the wheel...

My BIL was doing maintenance on his L4740HSTC yesterday. He texted me indicating that one of his drain plugs appears to have been replaced with a hose from his aux hydraulics. His tractor has a third function for the loader and rear remotes. I'm not sure where the other end of that line is...

Never thought a few cold days would result in this news flash. PLEASE don't think that the majority of people from PA are really this screwed up. 20° is the average daily low temp for January in Lebanon PA. Maybe those goofballs got the country of Lebanon confused with the PA county of...

I've often thought about buying or making some kind of light stand to add to the lineup of battery powered work lights. Something that could go on a stand and be aimed easily. Something that would do a large area. When a buddy gave me an adaptor that clips onto a DeWalt 20V MAX battery...

The goal here is to see what other uses we've come up with and not mess up Trimley's thread. I'm sure we've found applications that could be of interest to others. Many times just seeing something what another poster has done is helpful when approaching a similar (or even unrelated) task...

The only issues I've had with my (greater than 5' wide) Caroni and LandPride RFM's were with the wheel yoke shanks bending. Both brands were only problematic in the 6' and greater widths. I assume it is due to the weight. The way the decks are made and the height at which I cut the grass...

It may have been mentioned before, but just in case............. My 1/4" DeWalt with a Quick-Connect impact chuck is often my go-to tool for hand drilling when it looks like a situation where the bit will catch. Today I was in a hurry and grabbed a Milwaukee M18 that was sitting nearby and...

We trustees at the church are a very hands-on bunch. Many of us have backgrounds in the trades and aren't afraid to work and get dirty. One of the projects we participated in recently was replacing the chiller. Our role in this project was taking care of the demolition after the HVAC...

A couple weeks ago I wired a switch and extended wiring to a trailer plug to the outside of the cab. Earlier this week I fabbed up a couple tabs and visirted the local hardware store for a couple bushings and longer bolts. Today it's been wrapped up except for wiring between the plug just...

When I was out mowing I saw a new neighbor down the road mowing with a zero turn. I briefly stopped to watch as he twirled around and zipped back and forth. i thought, "why in the world would he get a mower like that for a half acre property?" Then I pressed the hydro pedal on my 42HP cabbed...

Stopped in for an oil filter today on my way home, and the mulch near the store entrance had "snow" on it. There was a major kaboom at a township facility some distance North of Messick's. Building insulation from the township building fell like snow in the area. The map shows the approximate...

Sweet Pea and I were running errands this morning and one of the stops was Messick's for a filter. Found the 50th Anniversary L6006 in the showroom. Wow, what a great looking tractor. I'd love to see it out in the sunlight. Neil Messick did a short piece on it in one of his videos. He...

We have two sheds that needed cleaned for at least two years. Lots of more important things kept pushing them farther down the list. I ended up with a couple gallons of ZEP Deck and Fence Concentrate that nobody wanted, and figured I'd try it out. There were mix instructions that I almost...

Messicks has a sale on most everything this week. Yesterday I made the long (OK, not really. It took 6 minutes) trip and picked up a filter package, extra engine oil filter and a couple pails of Super UDT2. The Kubota isn't due for any service soon but they have 10% off. Can't get much more...
