Heavy rains over the past two springs have dumped more runoff water in my 2 acre pond than the 8" overflow pipe could handle. I was faced with a continual eroding problem at the lowest point of the dam/burm. The erosion eventually wore a channel that was about 3 foot wide and nearly a foot...

A recent thread gave a link to these re useable hose fittings. I think I have those on some spare hoses laying around. How does one dis-assemble them for reuse--the link, a catalog page, gave no clue. Thanks Curt

Any advice or experience on adding top tilt to 3 point on my 2003 MF 1250. Can't really see the valve and or hosing until I pull the right rear wheel. Just wondering if anyone could tell me if I'll find a Pwr Beyond port on the existing loader valve or will have to replace the valve.

When plumbing a valve with Pwr BYD (it is a Cross valve and I installed the Cross BYD sleeve), should you still utilize the "Out" port as a return to the reservior, or plug it? Does it make any difference? When I ordered the BYB sleeve from Northern Hydraulics, the sales order taker told me...

I'm planning to build my own log splitter. Many of the questions have probably been asked and answered in various threads already, but bear with me, I've read this board for hours and appreciate the fact that others may be able to provide concise opinions without re-reading for days. In...

I need some ideas for a gateless opening in pasture fencing that will keep horses in the pasture. What works and what doesn't work?? I rent out the majority of my 30 acres to a nieghbor who keeps 2-4 horses on my property, but I'm getting tired of opening gates when I want to cruise the back...

Anyone have any experience with "Winpower 400" post hole digger. The decal on the gearhead says "Winpower Post Hole Digger and Crane Boom". "Winpower Equipment Mfg. Newton Iowa". It is definitely an oldie-no covers over PTO shaft et cetera. Nieghbor had one laying behind his shed. I need to...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and in browsing have had a great time with all your exploits, especially in the "homebrew" catergory, as I am a tinkerer with lots of time and intend to use this tractor and make some of my own accessories. I'm bying a MF 1250 4WD with 6' brushhog, loader and rear...
