    Angle Grinder(s) - Lost Their Smoke

    A little off topic, but I have a nice DeWalt jig saw. Minimal use over the years. The wheel that the blade rides in has broken. Guess which part is the only part that is no longer available. It use to be that you paid good money for a quality tool that would stand up to use. Now I feel they are...

    Best Nut or thread locking devices

    My brothers and I all joke about Dad and "...hold the light....It's in my eyes...". I'm sure in our minds we said hold it yourself. I also learned while holding the light that if someone is doing a job and they are doing a whole lot of swearing , They really don't know what they are doing.

    MF GC2310 TLB Issue

    Well , It feels like summer has hit in Central New York. Regarding the sneeze issue, It hasn't happen since I posted the situation. Maybe I was giving it too much fuel on a cold winter start. Thanks for all of your suggestions and comments, Matt.

    MF GC2310 TLB Issue

    I went to check my sneeze this morning. I pulled the air intake boot or tube out of its location in front of the radiator so I could see it. I secured a piece of tape over the end so I could see if the flap of tape would be sucked in or would be blown out on the sneeze. Started it up and of...

    MF GC2310 TLB Issue

    All warm starts start with no issue. No sneezing. My mistake. I just went out and did some checks. The radiator is full to the top and clean. Checked the oil. Clean , no white milky gunk. So I started the tractor. No sneeze. It is warmer than this morning, mid 30's. This morning was cold. I'll...

    GC 2310 TLB front axel

    I'm getting ready to change the fluid in my front axel . Read the book but feel it would be a little easier to fill it thru a bigger opening as opposed to thru the two plugs on top on either end as the book says. My question is how to get the big plastic cap off with out destroying it? Special...

    Digging 400' Trench for cable

    I retired from Verizon in central NY. Way back when , when everyone had a dial tone, I would often get a call to drop off a roll of buried service wire for a new house or someone who wanted to change to a buried wire. We never really cared how it was buried. In fact lot of times we would put the...

    GC 2310TLB Steering

    Actually , it was a 300 hour service done at 600 hours. At 300 hours I know the front axel was done but at 600 hours I know it was not. The Tech came to the house. So from what I gather here, The steering is part of the of the main hydraulic system. The front axel is separate from the main...

    GC 2310TLB Steering

    Hi , I have a 2007 MF 2310 TLB. Great Machine. I have a question about the hydraulic fluid. I had the tech come out and do a 300 hour service. Basically fluid and filters. Tech never drained the the front axel, just the transmission. He said it's all connected together. Is there any truth to...

    Can a propane tank be repurposed?

    I had a small fimco. Replaced tank. Broke again. Then the pump went. Reused the trailer and hose, got two 5 gallon buckets and got a cheap pump on amazon. I'm happy.

    Lawn Sweeper

    I have 2 Brinleys. I pulled them out of the trash. Went to use the first one and found that the sweepers would not engage. Took it apart and found what was wrong. I called Brinley to order parts. The woman asked where I bought it . I said "Well , I pulled it out of the trash but I really want to...
