Looks like J.D. has 20% off coupons. Lawn Mower & Gator Sale Offers & Promotions | John Deere US

I saw this tip somewhere here and tried it out. Homemade funnel (milk carton) for the filter change. It catches about 99% of the oil and you can just let the filter fall in after you remove it. It basically has the corner and about 3/4 of the bottom cut off so it fits underneath the lip below...

We just bought a Chevy 2500 Silverado. The title and vin# verify it is a 2000. However it has the 6L gas engine and torsion bar suspension. Some of the parts I needed for it had to come from a 2001. The GVWR /tire tag is dated 3/00. No owners manual. I want to get a gooseneck hitch for it but...

I might look at the wiring for the fuel shutoff solenoid.

I saw an interesting type of drawbar on TV that I hadn't seen before. I thought it looked very useful, but a little expensive. Trailer Hitches, Automatic Hitches, and Hitch Accessories | Goodlettsville, TN And no, I'm not affiliated with them in any way.

On the J. D. website under "Special offers", they have coupons for filter kits for $12 off. Used mine today.....

"Modern Marvels" on the History channel has a show on grease coming up.

The starter on my mower quit today (Kohler CV 13S). The dealer wants $172 plus tax for one! Has anyone tried rebuilding one of these? Any recommendations for a source of good used parts? Thanks!

We used my neighbors J.D. model H (late forties) to spread manure this year. The corn was just too high to use one of our trucks. It's still working for a living and sounds great.

I see that our local Walmart has started carrying Mobil1 5w-40 Turbo/Diesel in 4 qt. jugs again.

I have been having an occasional problem with the LX4 blades getting stuck together in the middle when starting the PTO. I was at the dealer today and he told me that J.D. has a fix for it. It apparently involves welding a pair of stops to the pan to keep the blades from turning in. I will let...

I finally got around to installing the cruise control kit on my 2305. It was pretty strait forward and works well, but there is a problem with the early 2305's. The "forward" pedal on the early models does NOT have the mounting provisions for the kit. The dealer ordered a replacement under...
