How often do you all have to change your GP's? For a 3 cyl engine it seems like 2 a year is irritating. I don't rely on them hardly at all, under 40 degrees it is plugged in before I need the tractor and then don't use gp's. I think it starts very easy above 60 without them, never been ethered...

Planning stages for a 40' wide 34' deep 3 stall shop with my hoist being in the middle stall. 3) 10' wide 8' tall doors with 1 entry door and 1) 3x4 window in the 3 other walls. 4" slab with thickened edge, 3) floor drains, and 2) dead-man anchors. 2x6 walls, closed cell spray foam, OSB...

Contemplating pulling the airbag fuse as I have to blaze a trail long before the county shows up. (MY road isn't the problem.) Cousin told me this weekend his son blew his and now I'm stressing. Inertia is the ONLY way to get through and this morning a 40-ish MPH run almost wasn't enough...

:mad: Wish the legislators would listen to us. LEAVE DST ON!!

Would like to upgrade the air filter box to a Donaldson for quality issues. Went to their site, confused. :oops: Has anyone done this and is happy with their selection or can point me to the correct one that takes a common-ish filter? Thanks.

I have to load up and run field repairs and have 2 heavy metal toolboxes that I grab along with whatever else I HOPE I need. But, often it means 2 trips anyway. Can't have a "designated" tool vehicle, how do you guys do this without having another complete set of tools in many carry boxes? The...

Many different brands out there. Looking for anyone that has had experience with them. They are our only option at this time as custom built are WAY out of our price range. Thanks.

I am burying 2" PVC conduit for my generator permanently under a concrete pad so it pops up through the slab 2 feet from the wall. The generator is 3x8 foot and where the wires go into it is a 90 degree, approximately 10" from the floor. Not ideal. So, . . all I can think of using is a 2" LB...

Hundreds of can sizes, brands and fragrances. Have a "Country Vet" brand at work to keep the flying and creeping bugs controlled in large garage. Insecticide-summer, fragrance-winter. Very happy with it except it should be adjustable on the time. Nope, every 15 minutes. Wintertime spraying of...

Been putting one together, Monitor head and and a pieced together stand from 3 different ones. Square bolts and nuts are a blast especially inside angle irons. Lots of PB Blaster and Kroil. 36' from ground to top of wheel. Not going to be operational as in pumping water, I'll be able to put it...

I am surrounded by 40 acres of gopher infested hay land with crop land and prairie beyond that. Often we see feral cats off in the distance, but never close. My dogs complain about them but never chase and are always locked up at night. Is there a trick to get them to hunt closer without...

Co-worker freaked when he saw me glue the straw on a brand new can of spray. "Wow! I'm gonna start doing that too!" Been doing it since the beginning of time. Always missing if I don't. Just assumed everyone did. Tip: if the can and/or straw is used, clean them with choke cleaner first.

How many of you have tied the bell housing loader bracket to the rear axle? The first year I had my Jinma I learned on CTOA that some were breaking the bells and breaking the tractor in half. Some speculated that it was abuse/backhoe etc. but I didn't take any chances and modded mine. Welded a...

Friend of mine works for a large industrial manufacturing engineering plant and they are REALLY pushing this as a far better synthetic oil for diesels. To the point of 250 hrs. Myself, I won't be changing the intervals, 100 hrs is plenty, but will run it as better is better. Period. Haven't done...

How many of you all have a shop or mechanic that is you go-to INSTEAD of the dealer? Myself, I do all of my repairs and what I can with the locals that ask for my help, what I can't usually goes to the local shop that is not a sales dealership, only repairs. Very honest man. But he is busy. Not...

Hot topic among friends and family here. So, . . . What do you all do? No oncoming traffic, someone behind you, you're about to make a left turn off of a 2 lane road, Do you; A) turn left blinker on, merge into the left/oncoming lane to let the driver behind you continue on, then turn? or...

4 different kinds, what gloves other than the disposible nitrile ones in the box do you all use for parts cleaning, herbicides/insecticides, and general purpose, "I do NOT want that on my skin" ? Or do you mostly use the disposables only? I do, but brake and choke cleaner turns them to slime...

Seized steel drain plug in an aluminum transmission case. Before I strip it out to the point of welding something to the plug, (its a 17 MM Allen head) I want to heat the case with my acetylene only torch. It still has oil in it, a GM Synchromesh which looks like a 10/30 type. Tell me what I...

Amazing what they can get out of these tiny diesels. Open Diesel Garden Tractors Pulling At Keystone Nationals - YouTube

Just wondering if I live in the only state that allows pre-purchased car washes from gas stations to expire after 30 days. That is such a crock! I don't know how many I have lost because of the weather not co-operating. Do you all have to put up with this scam too? If I purchase something, I...

The wife hinted that she would like one for Christmas and I agree. Checking reviews and am leaning toward the MEATER. Anyone have one? Thanks in advance. MEATER Plus With Bluetooth Repeater – MEATER US

I've given up on recycling cans. So go ahead and let me have it. We don't have recycling pick up so that means I have to store them until I have a frustrating amount, load them and drive through a tire punching scrap yard for a couple dollars. The money isn't the issue, but the inconvenience...

Not a boat guy but I am leaning toward marine grade however they need to be durable and I just don't see that rockers would be. I install lights and power ports on open station tractors and the latest farmer is ADAMENT that he "Don't want no chinsee stuff". Google is loaded with suppliers but...

Anyone else out there shocked that a Shop-vac bag costs almost $9.00 each?? Trying to find an alternative, so I thought I'd ask. Yes, I know, not really a L&G Equip question.

Gentlemen, Has anyone had success with using a retaining compound on bearings to keep the race from rotating in the housing? Rear auto wheel bearing is loose in the hole after I had to slide hammer the old one out, new bearing is correct in size and number, old bearing is correct number but...

Has anyone come up with a mod to make these into a standard style quick tach thingy? Need pallet forks AND bucket and no one makes forks for it. Really don't want to re-invent the wheel and looking for advice-pictures-products. Thanks in advance.

Anyone out there know what the torque would be on a 2007 Jinma 284 with a y385 and copper washers? Pulled my old ones out to replace on a Saturday and now I don't know how tight to make them and apparently I don't know where to look!! Thanks.

Gentlemen, I know I am grasping at straws with this but I thought I'd ask anyway. Has anyone here had success in getting old military manuals from a reliable source? I am struggling with the local library to get from the library of congress a generator manual with no success. It is a...

I have the option of purchasing 3 mower blades for my Farm King 84" finish mower that are hard surfaced. Regular ones are $90 with shipping. Hard surface ones are $150 + shipping. Anyone out there a fan of either? Would like an opinion if the double-price is worth it. Thanks.

Since battery handles must be too expensive to become standard, which style carrier do you prefer? Strap with hooks on the end, strap to a scissor style, or full mechanical scissor? The latter to me seems cumbersome in tight spots at work for extraction from the tray, so leaning to the...

G'mornin', I pulled the brakes and housing off the right side because they were binding because of the wishbone connections inside. Pulled the left to find it full of 80/90 from a failed seal. All cleaned up again, awaiting parts for all. Question I have is if the drain plug underneath the...

Is a quality built PU box trailer payload the same as the donor truck it came from when hooked to a comparable sized tow pickup? Thanks.

Will be setting up an old galvanized barn cupola as a yard ornament and would like some recommendations for earth anchors to hold the light sheet metal structure to the core of the earth. Gets kinda windy up here at times. Bottom will be setting on 6x6 green treated skids on 2 sides, so they are...

So, has anyone out there figured out a way to protect a trailer pigtail? Not the large rubber wrapped ones on RV's and GN's, but the 4 prong types. I have tried garden hose, hydraulic hose and I think miles of the irritating split loom crap. Sun and very cold winters don't like any of these...

Friend has a PTO powered forage wagon that needs a tractor operated hydraulic jack for hooking up when loaded. Regular hand operated jacks are short lived, sink to China and are a pain. Anyone invented something like this? Google is no help. Keep getting semi related stuff. I have in my head a...

Anyone out there have to replace your mailbox because the delivery person keeps whacking it? I am tired of straightening out the box and refuse to replace it again with a cheapo sheet metal one. Stainless heavy duty is my next option but the large ones are spendy. Super easy access to it, no...

Video not gonna happen I guess, and I can't delete the post either. Anyway, saved its life and got it running, neat, old and cool. Worthington compressor with a 1.5 HP Clinton engine. Been sitting for decades. Now what do I do with it??��

Has anyone out there come up with a ramp rattle fix? Love my trailer, HATE that it sounds like a POS when it hits bumps. They store in an open "tray" between the rails, (where the wheels set on the deck) with straps attempting to quiet them. All steel trailer with expanded metal between the...

G'evenin'. Anyone out there have an intelligent idea on what to cover a tool cart lid with? Something they like? The top gets used for a worktable so shiny painted metal don't work. Neither does carpet, shavings, slivers etc. Wood? Vinyl? Rubber? Suggestions? I'll glue or screw it on. This...

I have angle iron ramps that set on open trays in the back of the trailer in the middle. Ideal setup vs the side/slide in style BUT any bump and the bang and rattle even when bungied down. Anybody solve this with an over-center clamp or toggle clamp type setup? Thanks.

Hey Guys, Need to get this 3/4 inch bolt out of the front casting on a 1970 Ford 5000 barn find flip. Loader mount bracket. I drilled completely through, (27/64"?? can't remember) cranked on an easy-out until I wasn't comfortable anymore cuz I thought for sure it would snap, and that's...

Looking for someone who has suggestions on how to do this as I do not want to reinvent the wheel. Would like to move the airbox closer to the manifold under the hood, away from the radiator and have the air intake preferably above the hood. Would also like you to replace the cheesy airbox also...

A gazillion choices and prices out there. What do you have that you LIKE? For me, I need to be able to grab a set and move it to the work area, not run back and forth for each socket. Don't like the snap-onto ones as with oily hands, hard to wrestle on and off. The stand up trays with the pins...

Need a professional opinion to alleviate my paranoia. Regardless of what the instructions say with my BatteryMinder Plus 1510, I am reluctant to leave the battery hooked to the vehicle when using it on something with a computer. It is the half of the AC surge that makes me nervous. Opinions...

Don't want to start a thread that's been beat to death so, can someone point me to an accurate chart that tells me at what temps #1, 50/50, and #2 is suggested? With -20 to +30 degree temperature fluctuations and only a 5 gallon tank on the tractor I'm always nervous about having too much #1 in...

Anyone found some QUALITY reusable chemical resistant gloves that they like? Disposable ones are fine for some things but looking for some for carb and brake cleaner jobs. Our local safety store has some that are no better than the yellow kitchen style. Deteriorate after a few minutes. And the...

Gentlemen, My brother and I are installing 240 of cattle windbreak. 16 post holes for total project. Bing-bang done except 2 holes landed on large granite rocks 10 to 18" down. They are in the straight line so no moving them. Also don't want to dig them out because of the crater that will be...

Other than weather or congested traffic, why do some folks refuse to use cruise? I am one of the odd people that pay attention when I am driving and find it insanely annoying when I gain on someone, pass, and then they are offended I guess, so they tailgate me. Or the constant slow, speed up...

Reaching out to the electricians here. I am looking for a relay to control 3) 4' fluorescent lights off of my garage door opener and I don't know which relay I need. Millions to choose from. Can someone out there tell my specifically what relay I need? I will open up the opener and mount a box...

When using round poles, how do you splice the purlins? Thinking that there isn't enough area on the round to butt them. Local sawmill Pal says he will cut one side to have a flat surface, however he hates cutting old utility poles. Is it worth the trouble or am I over thinking this? :confused3:

Greetings, I need a second opinion, I picked up a fitting at a pressure washer repair house and asked him how HOT the water can be going into my COLD water washer. To my shock he said "Your safe up to 140°"!!! That is what my water heater is set at, as in HOT water I said. "Yup, no...

Hi guys, Is there anyone that can tell me what is involved with swapping a narrow onto a wide tractor? Yes, I know, usually is the other way around but my 44 row crop has an aftermarket belly blade on it so decades ago a combine rear axle was swapped onto the front for clearance when angling the...

Anybody know anything about this style valve? Brother is contemplating upgrading to a small payloader and I thought this would be a good choice for adding a grabfork circuit. I am hydraulicly challenged so wise and experienced opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Fasse ISO Remote...

Greetings, I have 2 brand new Alamo rotary mower blades that I have no use for as they are too small for my mower. They are 20 1/2" long, 3" wide, 3/4" thick, with a 1 1/2" hole. Stamped on the end it says: A 8197A H 11 03. The sticker is beat but can make out Alamo Group. I bought them at...

Also, what options there used to be that you want back. Me, I want the turn and high beam indicators on the rear view mirror. Why do they hide them behind the steering wheel unless its all the way up?? Keyless entry key fob should unlock the doors, then if I wish, push it 2 more times and...

Thinking about 2 sets of these for my generator to allow removing the boat fuel tank for filling and draining and then the second male would allow the engine to run until the carb runs dry. Any opinions? Thanks. http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/-z4AAOSw9N1VoKVs/s-l400.jpg...

Anyone out there made a post tamper yet? Although my shoulders would disagree, I can't justify $1800 to tamp dirt in around RR ties and wood posts.

Anyone have any experience with a Northern Tool & Equipment style subsoiler and Turf Tires? I understand it all depends on soil conditions, weight and depth. Several passes are doable, with the last plowing in cables or plastic pipe with a homebuilt attachment on back. Just afraid I won't have...

Hi Guys, Anyone know of a Jinma 284 being parted out? I need a wraparound headlight assembly (2007). Thanks.

Has anyone out there had the chance to use them both and decide which one is best? I am undecided. Thanks.
