    Woods BB 720 with emulsified gear box oil

    I just noted that I put BB 600 instead of BB720 not that it matters much. Can't change the title I guess. Yes I have a lot of concern as to how and why as well. It stays out in the elements but has been out for 17 years without an issue. The only thing that I can think of is the vent plug...

    Woods BB 720 with emulsified gear box oil

    I have not used my Woods BB720 brush hog for a while so after hooking it up today I did some maintenance checks which involves among other things checking the gear box oil level. To my surprise the oil while not overfull was a creamy emulsified solution that is a dead giveaway for water...

    Barb Wire wire-winder

    I am in the market for a wire winder to roll up several miles of barb wire. It seems that what I find are mostly made in either Canada or Australia with one made in the US. The one made in the US does not look nearly as robust as the others but it is hard to get a good idea on its quality as...

    Architectural design software

    I have a software program called "Punch! Home Design Architectural Series 3000" that I have been using since 2009. It has done what I needed and I never updated it so it is OLD and out of date. I have a barn design that has to go through engineering and truss design and they have asked for a...

    Setting Fence Posts Issue

    Not sure my clay will hold water most of the time. Not exactly moist here most of the time and this was a dry winter. Very low snow fall. This is the first time I have found any clay that was not hard and dry. This area (corner) obviously is different. What I did not mention is that I found a...

    Setting Fence Posts Issue

    I have been setting a LOT of farm/ranch wood fence posts (Round not 4x4) and ran into an issue yesterday that I have not previously had. Most of my ground is hard clay and I do mean HARD and DRY clay. In my one corner at the end of a 1600 foot run I dug two holes yesterday by hand as the...

    Trailer brakes and bearings replaced question

    Hand packed the bearings. Yes supposedly if you over fill under high pressure the EZ lube setup you can blow the back seal. They state to never use anything other than a hand grease gun for that reason. Apparently their claim is that the electric or pneumatic guns pump grease to fast and pop...

    Trailer brakes and bearings replaced question

    Actually 24 degree after 10 miles at 55-60 and then 10 miles at 30 to 35 mph, That is the left side compared to right rear which was the high side. Just seemed to be a bit large of a difference.

    Trailer brakes and bearings replaced question

    That is what I initially thought but when I rechecked each one they locked at 1.6 on the brake controller but at 1.4 they rolled with about the same amount of force. Turned free enough that I could do it with one hand without any real effort Yes they are Dexter EZ lube hubs with Dexter 12 x 2...

    Trailer brakes and bearings replaced question

    I just replaced my trailer (10K) brakes and while I was at it I did the bearings as well since they had some age on them. First let me say I have done bearings on NEW axles before but not replacement on long time USED axles. I followed all the specs as per usual on the bearings but I always...

    Streaming services versus Direct TV

    UHF and VHF frequencies for over the air TV are line of sight (does not skip like some frequences). Does not matter much if you are 150 miles or 15 miles if you have a mountain range or high elevation ridge in-between it is a real challenge. I have an AT&T tower that is about 4 miles from the...

    Streaming services versus Direct TV

    What happens if you are a bit under 5Mb? Does it pixalate and freeze until the buffer refills or does it just fail. I have 4Mb down but it is only guaranteed to give me 3.4Mb. (Fiber is coming but not until April 2025 or so) I have streamed off of Tubi some old shows that work pretty well...

    Streaming services versus Direct TV

    How much bandwidth do you really need to stream these services? Since you use Starlink without going for the Starlink Roam for $150 can you use the Starlink Home ($120) in two different locations and only two. I have been looking for an answer to that and find nothing. I can find no tech or...

    Streaming services versus Direct TV

    Will look at Amazon Firestick but does it have local programing? Do you have any feedback/answers on my questions?

    Streaming services versus Direct TV

    Was reading that Paramount Plus works on Android and IOS. Nothing about working on your TV. Can you get it on your TV?
