    Kohler 26hp twin surging at high throttle, okay at medium to 70% throttle

    Mine surges but still runs and I'm too lazy & scared to do much about it. I'm always afraid of getting those linkages taken apart and put back together right...

    Sizing floor joists, and thickness and type of plywood sheeting?

    While it's a completely different product area, an organization I'm involved with has a need for a particular plywood, and due to circumstances that began in '22 the product's availability is sketchy. We were able to get some at local (50mi range) stores the first two years but last year I...

    New Holland Center link hook? Dn75da

    Similar to the rope, I use a bit of wire because it's what was on hand when I needed it. My OEM hook also is way too small. I just pull the wire through the end of the hydraulic top link and give it a quick twist at whatever length I feel like having it and it holds very well.

    Outside storage for attatchments: How to keep the weeds down?

    I bought some at HD in Auburn CA a few months ago. Stuff is heavy

    Root cellar / cool storage room?

    > professional apple storage Nobody's expecting professional storage out of this, just a simulation of a root cellar. We do surprisingly well in the barely-cool room as it is. Reducing temperatures alone will get us a good amount more, even if the apples don't last till spring. Also, it's not...

    Root cellar / cool storage room?

    If we had the right ground temps (see the graph on first page), I have a good hillside that would make it fairly workable, though it's by my barn about a hundred yards from the house (strangely enough it's flat around the house!)

    Root cellar / cool storage room?

    I agree that a dug-out root cellar isn't a good match here, as much as I like the idea and aesthetics of the concept, if the project gains traction it'll end up in that storage room. I'm of the opinion that an easy-to-install package is worth spending some money on so I probably wouldn't...

    Root cellar / cool storage room?

    I'd love to have a root cellar and have the desire and possibility the capability to dig & build one but my concern is that I don't think that the ground here (norcal, 2000' elevation in the hills, fairly hot - often 90-95 15-25% humidity but rarely 100+ desert hot in the summer, kinda freezes...

    Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

    Apparently it's on dashcam and an estimated 1000# of rock came out of an unlocked gate.

    Adjustable beds

    Following with no suggestions... I've developed reflux issues despite barely eating any food, looks like I need to elevate my upper... meanwhile my wife needs to elevate her lower for completely different reasons.

    Is this an appropriate fix?

    This didn't go from "rounding out the holes" to failure in a week. You'd know better, but I'd start it on the monthly checklist - put a sample rod the same size as the attaching pins into the holes and ensure there's not "too much" play. Keep a log of hole diameter measurement. After a year of...

    Is this an appropriate fix?

    Without measuring things, this armchair inspector says that it probably fits the way it used to fit. You should be able to measure those wings and see if they're perpendicular to the bucket and if they're both out the same distance, parallel to the bucket horizontally, etc My bucket has about...

    Ford aluminum body vs Ram steel - can the Ram do as well?

    That's easy for us Californians to say (My truck turns 30 this year, barest hint of rust in a variety of spots where paint has gotten nicked, nothing to be concerned about here!). The body of my truck will last longer than most other parts of it with this climate and road conditions.

    TYM T25 Ground Clearance

    That 13" is probably ground clearance other than at the axles... you know how you lift a truck to get *so much more* ground clearance ;) *eyes pumpkins suspiciously*

    Heat

    My wife works as a nurse in the Sacramento Valley area and sees a lot of patients who have some sort of valley fever. Way too many. Cabs are good if you're doing even slightly dusty dirt work, and check your filters. I wear a mask (no cab) when I mow dry or use the tiller.
