    Best quality pins and cotter / lynch pins?

    The lynch pin on my L48 TLB backhoe bucket locking pin, fell out multiple times. Loosing that 14" long $90 locking pin in a pile of dirt, or in a trench, is a giant PITA. Not ever finding it means must order new, and wait days for delivery. Solution: A properly sized bolt with (2) jam nuts...

    Rotella T6 synthetic oil

    "exactly" 5 I started first grade at 5 also. My dad used the only gas station in town. At 5, I also sat in the first town firetruck,.... on day of delivery. Seems as though you think I am fabricating...... maybe like FJB? Truth: None of my uncles, or aunts were eaten by cannibals!

    It might help for quicker growth to use a little granular 10-10-10, or similar, fertilizer each Spring.
