I have an old Sony (2008) that still works but I was thinking of turning it into a Ubuntu unit. Could I use this drive (Team Group CX2 2.5" 2TB SATA III 3D TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) T253X6002T0C101) to replace the old Sata drive?).

About 10 days late but they did finally arrive...

I am working on an old JD 110 to see if I can get it running and managed to strip a coil lead thread trying to force fit an ill fitting condenser lead. I was thinking i would add a little silver solder to the stem and rethread it. Will the heat bugger the coil? Better idea? (It's a brand new...

To fix a water pooling problem on my driveway I am planning to install some drains and have acquired the saw and blade I think will do the job. The challenge I have is getting power to the saw which I fear will trip a 15 amp breaker (the saw is listed as drawing 1800 watts). The service in the...

I have several - an old analog Micronta, a couple of Princess Auto Hot Deals and even a Harbour Freight freebee. Probably time to get something a little more capable and trustworthy. Will be used on all the usual automotive (and yes, batteries), pumps, home electrical type stuff. Hope to keep...

I happen to notice my DC outlet (Cigar Lighter) is not working. Fuse pops to it when I turn the ignition on - all else is fine. My thought was I did something when I installed either the winch or auxiliary panel. I disconnected both of those and it still pops. So I am continuing to track it...

I am having a issue with stalling. I start and run the tractor for an hour or so and all is good. Then it suddenly chokes up like its not getting fuel and stops. I have been able to restart it (so far) but once it starts to happen it's go home time. Other Factors: Working on a road that is...

Time to do a rad flush but getting to the drain plug seems darn near impossible. Any problem with undoing the lower rad hose instead? Or is there a trick to getting at that plug someone would like to share?

I am doing my 400 hr service and this is, admittedly, kind of an anal question but, is the correct level determined with the dip stick all in or sitting on the axle? WSM was no help.

Been thinking about how I was going to attach stuff to the tractor and here's my take on it. I noticed the loader stand (?) tapers on my unit so I built a mini receiver tube that takes advantage of that. Advantage is it is easy on and off with no need to drill anything. By using a tube it can...

I need to make a number of fairly long cuts (ideally nice and straight). I have snips (seems like a lot of work), a 10'' sheer (might be tough with sheet 48 x 120), circular saw (have a metal cutting blade though not sure if it's the right choice for this) or a 4 1/2' grinder with a metal...

Had to go up to the JD dealership yesterday to get a few parts for a JD lawn mower I have. Looking out across the lot was a sea of green (naturally) save one orange tractor front and center (BX 23s). The sales rep come out as I looked around and we starting discussing JD competitor. I advised...

I while back there was a discussion on Hummers - though you all might enjoy a video of some at our fountain. https://youtu.be/IoiwTPliH90

I have had my backhoe on and off many times but this time getting the hoses to connect to load it up is proving a major pia. Backhoe has been off since last fall and sitting in a closed carport. Thinking somehow the pressure has built up in the hoe I toggled every control on it (for some reason...

I want to test my pressure. Looked at BXpanded guage but A) by the time it gets here it will be a very expensive item and B) in my little bit of research I gather the proper way to test is with a "T" fitting that allows the system to flow while being tested. So "T" or no "T"? I also read the...

Have a Honda GX240 on a chipper that was acting up (would start fine, run for about 20 seconds and quit). I changed the gas, cleaned the fuel filter, new air filter none of which worked. On a web search another owner of the same engine said change the plug - I did and it worked! I like to...

Went to install the box blade today and found one end of the top link virtually frozen (turns one turn only). The threads I can see (which is most of them as it's almost all the way out) are clean and rust free. I've WD 40'd it and tried to coax it around while in a vise with cheater. Much...

I have made a habit of keeping the fuel topped right to the top on the theory it would help keep any condensation from being a problem as I live in an area with very high humidity. I see my fuel gauge now reads low - plumb full shows 3/4 on the gauge. I have run the tank down to what I THINK is...
