    Chinook Air Compressor Pump

    I was at a garage sale and picked up a 2 stage air compressor pump for $35. It says Chinook and Made in italy on it. Image search looks like it's a K30 series. It's missing the air filter and possibly other things. Where would the model number be? I don't see it on covers on either end of the...

    Fuses for L1500

    Has anyone needed to replace the fuses on one of these or anything that needs the same fuses. I've never needed to but it seems like something that I should have on hand. I keep forgetting to ask every time I'm at the dealership. The fuse box cover is missing as well so if anyone has fabbed one...

    Cover for deer

    I've been on my 15 acre property for about a year. I'd like to get some cover going in a couple of areas. 1. Across the back of my property, there's about 3 acres between my lawn and the adjoining property. This is mostly brome grass that only gets about knee high because the soil is sand with...

    Frontier GM1060R

    I need to change gearbox oil in my RFM. There's probably a plug on the bottom but it would be over the pulley and I don't want to get oil on the belt. There's a plug on the side so my plan is to tip it on its side and drain it out of there. Does anyone have a better idea?

    Poplar Trees

    I have a lot of poplar trees on my property. Many border on or are in my wetland. The ones in my yard are always shooting up little trees from the roots. So if I mow the reed canary grass around the drip line of the trees in the wetland, will they put up trees from the roots?

    nextdoor

    So I'm looking at nextdoor. Someone was complaining that a deer died in their yard over memorial day weekend, they called the cops and the cops didn't do anything about it. She called the mayor's office and apparently someone there was going to send out someone out. Now if a deer dies in your...

    G1800 known issues?

    I posted a thread in the buyers guide section and didn't get any response so I thought I'd try it here. Are there known issues I should look if I was looking at a G1800 with all wheel steering?

    Minerals for Deer

    I had about 5 deer licking the concrete cover for my lift pump the other day. I picked up a salt block with trace minerals on my way home. I live on very sandy soil, so the ground doesn't hold much for minerals. What does everyone use for minerals that they put out for deer?

    Planting clover

    I have a few acres that I want some sort of legume on. I'm on sand. It needs lime which I'll be putting down this spring. Now I understand that the lime will take some time to work and that fall is a better time to plant, but I want to get a quarter acre sample or 2 down this spring. The land...

    PTO shaft

    Looking for a PTO shaft with the standard 6 spline 540 connector on one end and a 1 inch keyed and drilled female on the other. 1 3/8 is common. I've found 15/16 and 3/4, but no 1 inch. Tried a TSC in person and agri supply online. Looked at Amazon a little bit. Any suggestions? Or do you buy a...

    Mowing with a Bx

    I moved from a quarter acre to 15 acres last October. I'm thinking about a riding mower. But a used bx with just the deck can be had for about 1500 more than a gr with similar hp. I have a lot of trees to mow around. Will the bx be clumsy as compared to the gr?

    Three sisters planting

    Anyone use it? You plant corn in hills rather than rows then plant a hill of pole beans next to each hill of corn. You plant pumpkins or squash amongst this. Wondering how well it works and if it could be used with cucumbers or other plants with ground vines.

    Procal

    Has anyone used procal or other liquid lime product? It claims to be cheaper than pelletized lime, but I can't find costing. Any thoughts on how well it worked?

    Inland SA48 snowblower

    I picked up an Inland sa48 snowblower. It's missing part of the PTO shaft which I found at TSC. It's been half-assed converted to category 0 and it's missing the shear pin. The PO said it broke them regularly. I'm wondering what should be used for it. This the one for the impeller. The augers...

    Impact wrench

    I got a Jet JP2000 impact wrench for $60. It's a 3/4 inch drive that's supposed to put out 2000 ft. lbs . I don't currently have an air compressor that will handle it but was wondering if I could get enough time out of it with my 1 hp pancake compressor to loosen a couple nuts given time to...

    Brush mower blade replacement

    My 48 inch king kutter brush mower needs blades. At least one of the bolts has the spline stripped. There appears to be a shoulder on the bolt so I can't just cut the head off. I'm thinking I need a giant pipe wrench . Is there a better idea?

    RFMs

    I'm looking at used rear finish mowers. Don't really need one but we don't let that stop us here. Pretty sure I want rear discharge. Feel free to try to talk me out of that if you feel motivated to do so . Woods looks well built but the ones I'm seeing on craigslist all seem to be side...
