    Grease Zerks

    Hopefully your caps hold up better than the ones I ordered from AMZ (they look the same). I put them on every zerk to minimize the dirt build up but ended up removing them within a month as 90% of them wouldn't stay closed on the zerk. Hopefully yours work better

    Foreign Travel?

    Along these lines, I'd suggest travel insurance to cover a multitude of possible scenarios along with a sim card on one of their networks. If you're going out on your own, map safe zones in advance (consulate / embassy, etc), spend the extra money for a legit car service as many are trained in...

    Rear Finish Mower Finish Mower Recommendations

    Exactly why I couldn't care less about windrows, the A/C in the cab makes up for it! 😎

    Rear Finish Mower Finish Mower Recommendations

    I have been running a Woods TKP 84.40 for about a year and a half (on a quick hitch and hyd top link), cutting about 14-15 acres of grass each use. It cuts fine, but even after taking the chain guard off the rear, I still get clumping / windrows if cutting thicker grass ... it just doesnt do...

    Chronic Kioti DK40 SE Overheating - Seeking Advice on Removing Thermostat

    One attaches to an air Chuck and the other attaches to a standard hose. I use the same as pictured for my Kioti DKSE, the air wand let's you get in behind the radiators and blow out, works extremely well

    Gasoline storage

    I too have often thought about this for many years, but I keep coming back to the fact that my Ground equipment maintenance guys at work all fill their bed-mounted gas and diesel tanks several times a week without issue (most of which don't use the provided grounding cables eventhough we have to...

    Tips for cleaning pleated cab air filters

    As already mentioned above by several, I blow out with air compressor from opposite side of air flow intake, then I use a "dust buster" type handheld vac that has a thin tip to suck out any remaining debris between the fins. I've just assumed that the Kioti DK5310SE cab filters were paper, but...

    Gasoline storage

    I do, mine are on a wooden pallet & I attach the grounding cable to the bed of my truck just to be extra safe.

    Gasoline storage

    Same here, I have both strapped to a pallet to fork them in and out of my truck after filling. I had to upgrade the cheap OEM hoses to real fuel hoses after 1 yr as the hoses on the gasoline side got brittle and started craking. While upgrading the hoses, I added a Goldenrod water block...

    Head phone ear protection

    I intentionally leave them in my pants pockets when I run them through the washing machine, come out brand new.

    Head phone ear protection

    Even my older Bose NC headphones worked well on the ZRT, didn't need to crank the volume, but the newer Bose Ultra fit all the way over my ears due to larger cups and are perfect for me. I've actually taken calls on them while mowing and the people I'm talking to can hear me fine, they say there...

    Head phone ear protection

    For proper fit and comfort, roll, pull & hold ... most forget to pull the ear a bit to straighten the canal

    Head phone ear protection

    I use various types of hearing protection depending on the situation (I too have a big melon). The simplest and cheapest option would be soft foam ear plugs inserted correctly (Howard leight, etc), which are nice when it's hot out. But if your preference is ear muffs, I have experience with...

    Do any of y'all seal, wax or ceramic coat your tractor??

    Meh, mid 40's, most of the guys I know with Vettes aren't 70, but you're not wrong, i was definitely a small segment at the last Corvette show, lol. I bought used at the height of COVID stupid cheap (for a Z06) when dealerships were dead. Would also like a 63 Split window, but may have to...

    Do any of y'all seal, wax or ceramic coat your tractor??

    I wish I could just rinse mine off with a hose, but to get all the crap off, especially GA clay, I usually have to use soap (foam cannon helps loosen up the tougher dirt & grime faster, I just use a different blend for the tractor). It takes about 1 minute to apply, let it sit for about 10...
