Got back from vacation and the yard was a jungle from the rain. Then found the cast iron front axle was broken in half on my 11 year old L130. I didn't find anything searching TBN or You Tube on fixing it, and since I was successful today, I thought I'd share here that it wasn't too tough a...

Getting near 800 hours on my Kubota L3130. The maintenance schedule calls for a valve clearance adjustment for the first time at 800. I've done all the other maintenance since hour #1, but not sure about this. Have you done one, and if so any tips or advice? If not, but you had the dealer...

Problem: Engine won't start Equipment: B&S Quantum 675 engine on 22 ton TSC Huskee log splitter Well, I spent the whole afternoon trying to start my log splitter - no success. Finally got some time to try to split some logs I left unsplit last winter. Brand new splitter - bought in...

We are getting new carpet in 3 rooms, scheduled for next Thursday. I have a few floor squeaks I want to fix...either before the installers come, or after they pull up the old carpet, but before the new goes down. But I don't want to hold up their progress. We have plywood sub-floor over...

I thought some of you might enjoy this website I stumbled across - shows 21 types of engines - simple animations and explanations...every thing from a four stroke to a "Newcomen Atmospheric" patented in 1705. I had no idea engines were that old. Animated Engines - Home

I started using a safety harness for the first time this year. Don't know why I never did before. But here is a disturbing article in yesterday's paper. I wish there was a better explanation of what happened. I'll keep an eye to see if more info is forthcoming. Hunter found dead in safety...

This is a reminder to me, because I'm sure none of you would be as careless as I was today. I almost kissed the side edge of the bucket on my tractor very hard. I had cut down a dead oak, sawed it into logs, and drove the tractor as close as I could get. I picked up the largest log to carry...

I've been using iGoogle, but it is going away on November 1. I hate to lose it since I set it up with gadgets and feeds for news, weather, business, sports, entertainment, etc., like a newspaper. It also makes if fast to get to mail and YouTube. Do you have a home page portal that you...

Took these photos of emerging 17-year cicadas on Sunday - it was very windy, so a couple of them aren't the best. The news says they are part of a brood that is hatching in the east from Conn. down to the Carolinas after 17 years underground. I still remember the damage they did to the trees 17...

I have what looks like 2 faulty electic zone dampers in my HVAC ductwork. The HVAC company quoted about $1,500 to replace them which seems much too high (especially since they just replaced my geothermal heat pump system for mega bucks back in March). So, I am looking into a do it yourself...
