    Looking for 24mm or 15/16" pins

    Thanks. I've already tried 7/8", it just rattles around.

    Looking for 24mm or 15/16" pins

    Thanks. So they do exist. I emailed them, we'll see what they say.

    Looking for 24mm or 15/16" pins

    This is a very kind offer, thank you. Unfortunately I'm at the eastern extreme of the state and i don't get over there much. But I might take you up on it if I find myself over there. Just for context, here are a couple of pictures. This is the ROPS hinge mechanism. To fold it, the pin in...

    There should be a forum rule against AI-generated slop

    I'm not positive, but it looks very much like the output that AI would give. The formatting is a giveaway. Now, it's entirely possible that the poster typed all that out himself and formatted it that way. But it seems unlikely.

    There should be a forum rule against AI-generated slop

    I come here to tap into the opinions and experience of the members. If I wanted to know ChatGPT's opinion, I would ask it. When people just cut and paste answers from AI bots, it adds nothing to the forum. I contend it should be banned.

    Looking for 24mm or 15/16" pins

    I measured it, it's definitely 24mm. Dealer recommended a 24mm bolt. I'd need to figure out a way to keep the nut from rattling off but still make it quick removal.

    Looking for 24mm or 15/16" pins

    It could be. A quick google tells me that 25mm pins are available. I'll order some and see.

    Looking for 24mm or 15/16" pins

    My tractor has a folding ROPS that is locked with two clevis pins, I've lost one of them. As far as I can tell they are 24mm diameter. I haven't been able to find a dealer who has a replacement. I tried using a 7/8" hitch pin, it was too small, and a 1" pin was too big. If they are 24mm then...

    Is it too soon to talk about Crypto yet?

    Interesting. I like my investing and saving to be boring.

    No, I am NOT going to try to take down a dead 100' Hickory tree!

    I had a dead cherry that was similarly situated. No way to safely climb it or drop it. I started by using a rope saw to remove all the limbs. To get the rope into position I used a bow to shoot an arrow. I taped fishing line to the arrow, with the line on a fishing rod and the reel set for...

    The Resting Place.

    A tourist comes into Cheers and tells Sam, "I was last here 40 years ago when I was in college." Sam: "Is it much different?" Tourist: "You've changed the picture on the wall behind Norm."

    Is it too soon to talk about Crypto yet?

    Typically, countries have a sovereign wealth fund if: 1. Government revenues exceed expenses and they have persistent surpluses. 2. The revenue comes from sources other than taxes, such as oil and gas revenue. 3. The revenue is expected to run out in the future. The idea is to sock money away...

    Is it too soon to talk about Crypto yet?

    This is only true if you're selling calls without owning the underlying asset. Let's say you own a house that's worth $100,000. Someone comes to you and says, a year from now I'm going to need to buy a house, I'm worried that prices are going to go up between now and then, so I'd like to pay...
