    My Big Lawn Mower!

    I had a big wash out (creek) going through my field, and to hay the area I had to make a loop around to get to both sides. I took my little dozer and pushed in both sides and smoothed it out, then seeded it with brome seed. The rains that caused the wash out now stay on top of the ground and...

    Explain this feature and function please.......?

    My B8200 had a loader lock. It was located right next to the loader lever and just flipped dowm, and prevented any movement. A good safety precaution when going on the road.

    3 Point PTO Shaft Greasing

    GrumpyFarmer, when you say "enjoyable"..... that can only be said when comparing the cordless to a lever actuated, not the actual task!

    3 Point PTO Shaft Greasing

    Any implement with U-joints I grease around 8-10 hours, just guessing. Generally a pain in the azz, but I just tell myself that's better then repairing something.

    Diagnosing L245 not cranking

    You mention, "It would be good to have it as I've definitely cranked it longer than I'd like a few times already." You should not crank the starter longer then 15-20 seconds before taking a break for a full minute or more. This will help keep the stater from overheating. Then you'd have...

    This is for smaller tractors, but cost is almost free. Might need to be a little creative.

    Craigslist scammers responded to car for sale add.

    I never ask "is it available". I ask a question about the item. If they answer it's available and I can proceed with other questions. It also keeps me from getting blocked by some sellers, I'm sure.

    Shear Bolt Price Explosion!!

    A better way to power the fuel storage tanks with the aid of some "pack rattery" and repurposing

    I took a look at your wrench. If the top link can not be turned by hand why not use the hole in the crescent wrench?

    What are they called

    Kenny, we kind of stomped on our own toes over time. From the time of WW2 on we (Americans) were frugal in all that we did. We made things last or fixed what we had and refused to purchase anything we could make do with. I remember as a young boy being in the barn late at night "helping" my...
