    What teams will play in the next Superbowl?

    He should be well rested, She has been in another hemisphere for several days. :D

    What teams will play in the next Superbowl?

    The reason is because the Defending Superbowl champions gave the game away! The Chiefs had 2-4 more touchdowns if they just caught the ball and not due to the Eagles defense. They even mentioned the Chiefs lead the league in dropped passes. That has got to change! I don't have anything against...

    What teams will play in the next Superbowl?

    No, If you watched the game you would see that KC missed 2 touchdowns and not due to the Eagles defense as they simply didn't catch the ball that was in their hands on one and Mahomes under threw one. Then there were the 3 critical dropped passes in the Red zone, again not due to Eagles defense...

    What teams will play in the next Superbowl?

    Yeah, Chiefs beat themselves again. It's ok, Chiefs will win the next one, in February! :) Eagles definitely have a much tougher remaining season though.

    Hydraulic Top Link? Moving Hay~UPDATE! Problem Solved!

    Hydraulic top link makes a BIG difference! Here is the difference on my little 40hp with one of the smallest travel distance top links. First 2 pics are at then maximum lift with top link fully out and in. (If you zoom in, you can see that I also moved the lower pins on the disk itself (Primerd...

    What teams will play in the next Superbowl?

    I actually think they will play not to win so much, but to learn more about the Eagles and possible plays and formations. I suspect Andy will keep his cards close and not run all their plays expecting to meet them again in the Superbowl this year, everything is lining up for that to happen so...

    GL4 or GL5 front axle lube

    Sure seems thicker to me.

    GL4 or GL5 front axle lube

    I use Amsoil 80W-90 GL5 as it states it is also GL4 compatible. https://www.amsoil.com/p/severe-gear-80w-90-agl/ https://amsoilcontent.com/ams/lit/databulletins/g2043.pdf Use in differentials, manual transmissions and other gearapplications requiring any of the following specifications: API...

    Ugggg Truck problems

    Too many heavy RV's being sold and people not knowing how to drive a manual, burning up clutches or just scared to drive it! On the newer Fords that have Shift-On-The-Fly or knob activated transfer case, you can use 4LO with the front axle/hubs disengaged to give you 2LO for moving heavy...

    Retirement thoughts Past Present Future

    Good point! My direct manager and the other office manager are aware I am retiring by Dec. 2026, (hopefully sooner that year if all goes right), and have hired new Engineers to get them up to speed. On top of that our main customer is expanding greatly and building new facilities that will also...

    It’s here!

    Several of us with the LS tractors had the same issue I tell everyone to check it every 2-3 hours until it stops needing more, which seems to be around 20 hours.

    Ugggg Truck problems

    Back when there were still magazines, I read a couple articles that showed reasons why the Ford Torqshift was good or better than the Allison of the day. Doing a search here is a similar article on the newer ones. As with most things, take it with a grain of salt...

    Plan Has Come Together To keep Me Busy In Retirement.

    Yep, Ford has it too but I never added TPMS to any of my trailers, they get checked before use and during every trip. Our F350 is supposed to have 60PSI front and 80PSI rear for maximum Load capacity. But for a better ride when driving it around empty for a long period of time I prefer to lower...

    new ranger review?

    Hmmm, Our F350 is a 2019 as well, purchased in June and batteries had to be replaced 5/2023, right at 4 years.
  15. Bearsixty7

    new ranger review?

    That is one of the criteria that will prevent stop/start mode from working so yeah, you probably have a battery failure looming.
  16. Bearsixty7

    new ranger review?

    What year vehicle? If the battery is over 3 years old and you drive the truck frequently, then yes, the battery could be starting to fail. Our F350 sometimes sits in the garage for 2-3 weeks unused and I started getting the notice on my phone in the FordPass App "Remote features disabled to...

    On some vehicles they are vacuum actuated so it could be a leaking hose.

    New $10,000 Toyota pickup

    True. Today it is factored in as standard. The last time Ford offered a manual in the Superduty trucks, The Auto was about 8K as an option.

    New $10,000 Toyota pickup

    Actually if you know how to drive one, it's not that bad. I did it for years. You just pick low enough gear and let traffic speed up and down while you just move at a slower, more constant rate when traffic moves.

    New $10,000 Toyota pickup

    Don't forget the Automatic added 1k back in the 70's and today $8k to the sales price of most fullsize Pickups! So yeah, They want to sell Auto's!

    New $10,000 Toyota pickup

    Same goes for the fullsize trucks today, Many people avoid GM and their independent front axle while Ford and Ram still have solid front axles. I'm in that camp as well, The GM axles just don't hold up to larger, aggressive tires and agriculture/construction use.

    New $10,000 Toyota pickup

    They were about 3-4K less than a comparable Chevy S10 or Ranger! In 1983 I bought my first vehicle as a teenager, a brand new Toyota longbed, 2WD 5 spd "deluxe" pickup for $5500, The Ranger and S10 were both around 9500 at multiple dealers. A few months later, I took it back to the dealer and...

    Rotella T6 gallons

    I'd look closer, I bet most of them have overlapping viscosity ranges unless you mean some have gasoline engines and some diesel engines, then it's more than viscosity, it's additive packages. But most if not all of the diesel engines can probably use the same oil and the gasoline engines, they...

    Sounds like a use for IBC totes. Split and load the firewood into the totes where ever you want then use a tractor and forks from then on to move the firewood.

    Anyone reload 12ga anymore

    Walmart in MO. just happen to get some .410 with #4 shot in and sold them for $20 a box in Oct. I bought 3 boxes for my Dad as he uses them for squirrels, opossums and skunks that get to close to the house.

    Anyone reload 12ga anymore

    Your prices actually look better than average. Where are those prices from? Grafs, and sometimes Midway and Cabela's (with points and/or on sale) used to be decent priced, but today they are high, even higher than what you stated. I reload .38 Special and 12 GA for CAS mostly so it's more...

    HST safety sensors

    I would suspect the "Neutral" sensor for the pedals. If the seat safety switch isn't closed (Someone seated) and the neutral sensor is activated (Not sensing the pedals are in the neutral position) it will kill the engine for safety.

    EA Root Grapple won’t close

    Sounds like either the 3rd function solenoid or the valve isn't working or the hose coupler for the "open" direction isn't allowing flow to reverse. Try reversing the hoses and see if it will close, you may have to swap couplers if one is male and the other is female. If still fails, Reach out...

    Fatal backhoe accident

    Possibly greasing the backhoe and was standing between the stabilizer (in the up position) and the boom and pulled the boom swing lever to move the boom to get at a grease zerk but moved the lever the wrong way or too fast and pinned himself. Very Sad.

    LS Tractor Oil, Gas, & Air Filter Information

    The LS Fuel Filter 40271228 water-in-fuel-sensor at the bottom of the fuel filter is threaded in. The WIX version comes with a black screw in plug/drainer as seen below. It did screw right into the LS filter perfectly. The top side of the WIX looks to be a thread match as well. The LS filter...

    Texas Fall/Winter thread!

    WooHoo! 3-1/2" of rain in the gauge this AM. Normally this would result in standing water in the back yard but not this year. Several close, violent lightning strikes last night and my son got his first time driving in a down pour for a couple miles.

    LS Tractor Oil, Gas, & Air Filter Information

    Question on the "Water-in-Fuel" Sensor. How does it come off the bottom? Unscrew or just pull off? I have spun it about 1/2 turn and can't really tell if it unscrews or not. My next move is to unplug the connector then try unscrewing it several turns. Neither the owners manual or the service...

    What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

    I switched to the tiller this weekend and OH MY! So much easier to hook up! Well worth the money.

    new ranger review?

    LOL! Yeah, I guess that may make a difference on those "toy" trucks ( :) I had to!). I have an 8' box on my F350 CC for the same reason. I've never had anything other than an 8' box since my very first pickup, an '83 Toyota Deluxe reg cab, 5-spd. I think it had a 6.5 or 7' box, not sure.
  40. Bearsixty7

    new ranger review?

    I think most people prefer the full cab and doors. My first 2 F250's were extended cab and the last 2 were F350 Crew Cab and I wouldn't consider going back to extended cab.
  41. Bearsixty7

    What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

    Only the newer Cabbed Ls tractors under 50hp have them as an option. That's what these are actually for, a Cabbed MT240.

    What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

    Did this several days ago, Haven't really used them to hook anything else up yet but I'm sure it will be much easier now. Boxblade was already on the tractor so I just swapped them out one at a time. I didn't really want to add "Pat's" as they add about 4-5" of length, then the hydraulic top...

    Texas Spring/Summer Thread

    It's so dry the first 3 inches would just run off and soak into the cracks even if it dumped in 30 minutes! The next 2 would pool a little and soak in. The rest can just dump into our little lake Lavon.

    Texas Spring/Summer Thread

    3/8" here Sunday evening I think it was. Just enough to green up the green grass :(. The brown grass is still brown and the cracks are getting wider and deeper. We need a good 3-8 inches of rain around here.
