I got the post changed out. I was going to try the demolition grout and noticed they call for a minimum 1.5" hole. My thought was I only need to slit the concrete at the sides of the post so I ordered a 1" drill bit. I thought I could make two holes in the direction I needed to split the...
I have an 8" round fence post that rotted off. It sits butted up against a vinyl fence post. Both of these posts are set in the same concrete. There is probably 1'-2' of concrete at the bottom of the hole. Any ideas how to get the wood post out so I can replace it?
Let me see if I can bring this back on track. The other day my wife was going to help my son pick up a bunch of peat moss and mushroom compost for his eagle project. It was more than could fit in the bed of the pickup so they were going to use the flatbed trailer. It has rails but no solid...
Driving in to work this morning in the dark on a divided highway I noticed yellow flashing lights every once in a while up in the distance. Traffic kept flowing so didn't think too much about it, I figured what ever it was took an exit. Then I noticed a pickup going backwards down the road with...
I bought a new grease gun and transferred the grease from the squeeze tube to the gun. That worked so much better than trying to fill through the vent hole. This was the first time I had used 00 grease. By the way some people talk about it I thought the viscosity would be much lower.
Yes there is an actual grease fitting and the owners manual says to use it to fill the gear box. It seemed very odd to me. I was wondering if there is a way to fill 00 grease through a fitting that I didn't know about. My plan is to fill through the vent hole.
I have a troy bilt snow blower that calls for Shell Alvania grease. The part number looks to be 00 grade grease. The funny thing is they tell you in the manual to fill the gear case through the grease nipple. Thank goodness there is a plastic vent plug on top of the gear case. Is there really a...
To help keep this thread on topic take a look at The Grand Tour S5E1. It is on Amazon Prime. Not sure how much of it is staged and how much is real but they do show how to improperly tow sheds on skids behind rally cars on icy roads.
I have a 16' flatbed that I tried one of those unloaders. I put sheets of hardboard between the vinyl sheet and the wooden deck to try to lessen the friction. To make a long story short a shovel works better. Maybe on a smaller trailer with less material weight they may work better.
Thanks for the information. Sounds like maybe I got incorrect information and it does need a 1/2" belt. The belt is a real pain to change since it is tucked up underneath the mower.
I have a Ferris ProCut 32 that has hydrostatic drive. There is a belt that comes off a pulley on the engine shaft, around the pulley on the hydraulic pump and it tensioned with a spring tensioned idler pulley. My research found the belt is 5/8" x 40". It took awhile but I found one. The reason...
That is a good idea but the ProCut is a 3-wheel model with he deck out front. The drive wheels are in the middle between the deck and the single rear steer wheel. If I had room in the barn to pull it in I might try it. Unfortunately I don't have enough room so I would have to push it on the...
Is there any trick in turing the shaft that is supposed to switch between freewheeling and drive on a hydrostatic drive? I have a Ferris ProCut 32 and the hydraulic pump belt gave out just after my wife drove the mower out of the barn. I would like to get the mower back in the barn but I need...
