New dealer down the road. Went to inquire about a few things for my 2008 DK45. Key - $20, hi/low beam light bulb - $51.95 EACH! Can order online much lower in price and will do that. Hard to support local with prices like that.

I often take my 14' landscape trailer with me when collecting fire wood. The problem has been that the winch just clears the trailer tongue when 3pt in at it's highest point - not sure if this is good for the 3 pt. Also depending on terrain the trailer tongue has caught the bottom of the...

This has been on my bucket list for several years... built in 1/2 day it works great. It is made of hard wood and a piece of sacrificial pine for the vice part base. Can anyone ID the hardwood. I get these free from my brother-in-law. They are used to sticker locomotive rails sent via ship...

Went to get our tree. Parked tractor and hooked up the tree for the return trip back across the pasture. Hopped in the cab and no dash lights, temp guage or tach guage. Where to start.... is this an easy fix?

New function on the farm... smokehouse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated and recipes too! Thanks. Lloyd

Issue started last year but I should address it soon. When using the hoe there is a lot of movement with the brace supports mounts/arms. I tightened all the major nuts/bolts many times and they still wiggle loose. Yesterday(first time use this year) I noticed a metal nut stop(prevents nut from...

Here is a visual tour of Bake Oven build... enjoy. Still lots of detail work to complete.

This is a test fire for the new outdoor fireplace. Just completed today - 300+ bricks. There will be a fire box with built-in adjustable grill to the left - need to get more bricks. The bricks are recycled from a 125-150 year old building. They are hand made and wood fired based on the colour...

Been busy... Thought I would post this quick project. Used 1000 litre water tote cage and all new robust hardwood pallet. This will go on my forks as needed. Still have to braid rope and add hooks for safety. Lloyd

Woke up to a flat tire this morning - front. Haven't used the tractor for about a week. I got it reseated and filled and tried a water test for air bubbles - couldn't see anything. Is there another way to check? Lloyd

I went out to start the tractor and nothing. No power to dash. Battery is showing 12.5 volts. Checked all the small plastic fuses in cab - all fine. Where do I start to get a fix on this. Thanks.

I found these on-line. They are in the Bridgewater area. I am going to get a few today. It appears they have lots. Plastic Crate - Nova Scotia Outdoor Tools, Storage For Sale - Kijiji Nova Scotia Canada. Plastic Storage Containers - Nova Scotia Outdoor Tools, Storage For Sale - Kijiji Nova...

This will a spring project. How would you tackle the job of keeping sand dry. I use it on our lane in the winter. I have a section of a building that I can wall and add a door. It would be 8'wx12'Lx8' tall - would need to deal with ground as well.. Would have to stock it as not to put pressure...

My workshop was cobbled together when we first moved in. Over the years it has become a catchment area for other people's stuff(friends like to give me stuff - tools etc.) plus my own. Often times it was difficult to work in, was not organized etc. With my recent back injury(which is on the mend...
