    L3540 hydro power questions

    Do you change your HST fluid and filters according to the manual. I don't recall if you changed your fuel filter. I buy fuel, 6 five gallon cans and then dump it into my TSC 50 gallon cube with a TSC electric pump. I have a 10 micron filter on my pump. Now both my L3540 and my B7100 fuel...

    L3540 hydro power questions

    Mine is a 2012. HST's are weird to get used to, when going up a hill you need to be in the right range, including high or low in that range. As you climb, back off of the HST peddle, which will slow you down, but give you more power and maintain your RPMs.

    You Know You Are Old When

    I'm 78 years old. I've had a cell phone since 1998, I also have a landline for backup. Landline is restricted, but free. I can't call out of the county, so my cell phone is my main phone. I don't have any social apps on my cell phone, it's used as a phone. It's in my sweat pants or in my...

    A guy that lives a few miles from me has one of those trucks. He used to go to Washington state and haul those blades. He said the money was good, but didn't like being away from home for 3 months at a time.

    Fixed - Grease zerk replacement.

    I used to operate a P&H Crane and we had problems with fittings. Now years later I found out that it was clay based grease. For years now I only use Moly grease.

    You Know You Are Old When

    We had 8 milk cows when my Dad bought the farm, he kept them for a few years, he kept the best cow (5% milk fat), sold the others and bought some beef cows. I drank a ton of raw milk, we made home made yogurt and churned butter from her cream. My Mom made squeaky cheese, I think it might be a...

    You Know You Are Old When

    Our school had a paddle in the Superintendents office, holes in it and it was called the board of education. I never got whacked with one, but one time the English teacher tried to hit me with a ruler, I caught it, broke in half and gave it back to her.

    Strange things your pets do...

    I had been somewhere, so my window was open. My GSD loved to go for rides. I was taking the GSD and Cocker out for a p*** call and when we went outside my 100 lb GSD jumped though the window into my 1980 Datsun 4x4 pickup. They can read us like a book, he knew I was going somewhere. He looked...

    You Know You Are Old When

    This stuff didn't sting, you're thinking of Merthiolate, which was red and really burned. I was shirtless sitting on the hood of my buddies 66' Mustang and I fell off and got some road rash on my back. My brother applied Merthiolate everywhere and oh boy did it sting.

    Over here, many are on a 45 degree angle hinge, so when the plow or anybody hits it, it flies up in the air and comes back down.
