    Dang Vermin! Stole all the plums! Grrr....

    Had the same problem here with the 'coons and plums. I bought a 3' section of cheap single wall stove pipe to place around the trunk, zip tied it on and saved the fruit. Now, last week I'm mowing grass and notice a coyote under my pear trees. Minutes later the coyote is jumping several feet in...

    Massey Ferguson 451: Back story: I had ran out of fuel in the woods and upon refueling, I ran the battery dead attempting to start the engine. I got my Shumacher 1000 amp jump starter to kick her off and drove back home. I charged the battery overnight, all seemed fine until my next attempt to...

    Marvel Mystery Oil

    I've refinished several old (c.1880s) cast iron farm bells and used MMO to coat the cast iron pieces afterwards to inhibit rust. It works great. Just re-coat every 2-3 years.

    Air compressor quit

    Bought used a couple years ago, my Porter Cable 24gal air compressor decides to quit working. I know little about air compressors but can fix most things if I am told what I need and what to do. Power is good, but makes only a humming sound when powered on. I have confirmed it is not an...

    JD 4300 quits when going uphill.

    I had the same issue, not just when going uphill, but anytime I had higher RPMs and heavy PTO use such as with the bushhog. I had a small piece(s) of plastic floating in the tank which would pull towards the fuel intake and shut her down. O belive the plastic came from a busted fuel level ball...

    Fuel and water temp gauge not working.

    On my Massey 451, the fuel gauge and water temp gauge are not operating. When I crank the tractor they both move only slightly from the far left position, like a hair or about 1/16". Not much. Doesn't appear to be a fuse, all my fuses look fine. Ideas?
