I had to go to a mechanic buddy's place and he suggested trying FixaFlat first. I agreed, so I will try that as that would be the super easiest fix, if it works.

I have a JD3720 tractor and am not sure what to do. Then problem tire is an R-4 8ply 27X8.50-15 NHS bought in 2010 and 1300 hours on it. No fluid in the tire. I rolled the front tire half off, removed it from tractor, wire brushed the rusty beads, took it to a tire dealer and had it...

2002 Duramax owner. Has started great for 160k miles. In November I changed the batteries and than a month later I changed the fuel filter. I was able to reach way down to change it so all was good.. A thousand miles later I parked the truck on a hill at home with the front on the up side...

Engineering guidelines for maintenance are established over all kinds of weather, conditions of use by owner, ambient temperature, and go by extremes we may run into. The best case scenario is to take what they advise and follow that because none of us has the money to test every extreme that...

I have had a RMD2584 for 11 years and it works fine and has maybe 500 hours on it right now. I am considering changing to gear case oil in it. I can't figure out how to empty the gear case as there is a dipstick hole on the top and a hole in the side for the level, but nothing on the bottom to...

We use totes set about 4-6 feet off the ground and hook up 1-1/2 inch sump pump hose to fill barrels or to run to plants. Not much pressure but a lot of flow.

I have 2 submersible pumps in a pond in a couple feet into the water. When I ran them to pump water into tanks for watering our garden I would just plug them into the 110 port on the generator and switch on the 17 amp circuit breaker and they take right off. It is a 3200 watt John Deere...

I run 2 submersible sump pumps at the same time, 1/3 HP each with my 3200 watt generator with no problems. I use them to fill tanks from a pond. 1/2 HP won't even slow it down even if starting under pressure.

Did you have any luck with your waterline? I am really curious as to the outcome.

I understood that water squirted into ear canal should be distilled water so infection has less of a chance to sprout. Just a thought.

The 4/12 roof had a lot of tree pollen and dust on it. I was washing it off and the areas that were clean and wet, walking was fine. When one side of the roof was clean I was walking to the other end at the peak level when I stepped on a dirty and wet spot. Down I went. It was a fairly slow...

I added a garage to our house and had a tall 10/12 pitch metal roof. I had 2x4s left to right every 2 feet so O had basically a ladder to walk up. I always worked from the side of the sheets I was working on so it worked out well. I did notice how fast a screw gun could slide down and hit the...

For the life of me I can't figure out why people put the TV over a fireplace. It seems to me the best height is about 3-4 foot off the floor. You can see it more comfortably from almost any sitting position in the room without straining the neck. Of course there needs to be room available.

Beer only after the job is done. I found out the hard way moving stuff up a floor.

Bifen-IT worked great for Carpenter Bees. My 40x60 barn and any wood product, treated wood included, around the house were a feast for those suckers. There were so many holes in the rafters and joists that it would have been impossible to tackle them individually. I read Carpenter Bees...
