    Lip removal seems like steady work for you.

    My Backhoe needs and engine rebuild

    The white smoke cloud happened after I dug up a tree and I was pushing it out of the way. I was revving the engine and using all its power to do this. That's when it started smoking like crazy. Huge white cloud of smoke coming out of the exhaust and the breather tube that's under the engine. It...

    Was that hand held or on a tripod?

    My Backhoe needs and engine rebuild

    I just got home from talking to the mechanics at the New Holland Dealer. They think it's fuel and hot hydraulic oil. They don't think it's possible for hydraulic oil to get into the engine. They think it's the injector pump. Might also be the injectors, but most likely the pump. I need...

    My Backhoe needs and engine rebuild

    Thanks. I'll look for the hydraulic pump on the timing cover. I haven't noticed it, but if it never gave me any problems, I wouldn't of looked for it.

    My Backhoe needs and engine rebuild

    I have a 1998 Ford/New Holland 555E Backhoe. It has 8,500 hours and I bought it with 1,800 hours back in 2003. This is the first major issue that I've had with it. I think there are two issues. The most obvious is all the white smoke coming out of the exhaust and the vent tube that exits...

    Colloquialisms

    Tyler has gotten so bad with traffic and every light being red that I try to avoid going there. I call it the Red Light City!!!!

    Polaris or CF Moto?

    I shouldn't have looked up that picture. Now I'm sending messages to dealers to give me a quote on what it costs.

    Polaris or CF Moto?

    I was hesitant to buy the Mule back in 2011 because I felt it was something for play more than anything else. But I quickly realized how useful it was when we were all fighting to use it!!!! Nobody drives it for fun, or just to drive around the farm. It's mostly used for getting boxes from the...

    Polaris or CF Moto?

    Last night my wife reminded me (again) how nice it would be to have a golf cart with a bed in the back for getting packages from the gate. Small tires on it so it's as low to the ground as possible. And the most important thing, is that it's quiet!!! I agree with her. We went for a drive in...

    Help me spend money, again! Upgrading

    I went from a 37 hp open station tractor and a 6 foot cutter to a 70 hp cab tractor and a 12 foot batwing 3 years ago. I expected it to be nicer and able to get more done, but I'm still in shock and how much more I get done in so much less time. The more HP allows me to mow faster. The cab...

    Outside storage for attatchments: How to keep the weeds down?

    A friend uses old roofing shingles. It works, but it looks like old roofing shingles. My goal is to have concrete everywhere. It's been a long term goal, and it will never happen for everything, but each time I pour concrete, it's one step closer to success.

    Is there somebody that checks this? Baseball Field Inspector?

    F550?

    I looked into buying a used diesel truck. The older Fords and Ram trucks seem like the best things out there, but I don't want to spend my time rebuilding anything, or wrenching on it. Prices are horrible, but just about everything on those trucks are worn out. They need new interiors, seats...
