I liked to be prepared for extended outages, so I have a PTO generator that can run my house and well pump. Enough diesel for several months of intermittent use. I also have 2 inverter generators and 30 gallons of gas to use as needed.

I can live without a $5,000 charging outlet! Seriously though, it really should have one. I will likely add one when I install some led lighting. Once a year or so I get caught mowing in the dark.

Nice looking tractor and history. I've never owned an older Ford, but cut my teeth on a 9n (or 2n ?) working on a horse farm at 9 years old or so.

I've owned small engines that specified both threaded in fully, and seat the stick without threading in. Probably best to drain and fill with the specified amount of oil and see what's on the stick.

They appear to want it to look like a big shop charger, but it's only a 10 amp "dumb" charger. 10x (at least) more expensive than a comparable 10a charger.

I started out using GenericCadd, and loved it until AutoDesk bought them out and tanked the product. I could never get the hang of TurboCad, and ended up using AutoCad LT. Anyway, another way to accomplish the task being discussed is to import a Google image or land plat and scale it to a known...

I'm not a fan of tubing a tire either. The NHS stands for "Not Highway Service". I would measure your current tire circumference and get something as close as possible in a non skid steer intended tire. That said, I put 10 ply bar tread rears on my zero turn and can't really tell a difference...

Wow, that seems like a pretty steep deposit. I am spoiled to have a Rentals Unlimited a few miles down the road. They collect my credit card info prior to the rental, but only charge the actual end rental amount on it. Glad you got your stumps handled.

I would imagine a 15 second dead short could totally drain a battery. Have you tried charging the battery? Accidents happen... glad you weren't injured.

The Kubota ZD zero turns don't have flip up decks, but the front axle rotates via a built in screw jack to lift the whole front of the machine. Makes servicing the blades and deck a breeze.

Check the auction sites for what they are advertised for. I suspect a good condition, fully operational B2410 would sell for 10-12k with a loader plus 3k for the backhoe. $13k to $15k total. That's just a somewhat educated guess though. A good rule of thumb is that a good condition machine will...

Those old Onans are great generators, and seem to last forever. I had an 1800 rpm 4kw Onan in my previous small motorhome.

This was a major reason for my switch to a pto generator 5 years ago. Storing and handling gas was a real pain. I generally store around 150 gallons of diesel for the mowers and tractor.

Not familiar with that mower, but is it possible the blades are slipping on the spindles? My mowers use Bellvue washers, which are domed ever so slightly to keep pressure on the blades.

Don't know about your primer on the filter, but my aftermarket filter primer needs to be pushed down and threaded closed when done.
