The moisture content will stabilize at the ambient humidity.

So much for my advice!

Check and replace the thermister. .

If you have true frost heave there is a lot of work ahead for you. Look up Frost Heaves and you will get lots of useful information. If it’s just a freezing wet area Insure the whole area has drainage and use crusher fines for about two inches of base. Do not pack. Work your paving stones...

Check for a thermistor in the power line to the fuel/pump solenoid.

I’ve made a few.

Alternative heaters to aid in starting. In-line hose heater. They work well. Throw a tarp over the engine and place a small portable heater under it. This also works well. Extend the tarp a bit to cover the transmission and you can get a real good warm up of everything. This is a little bit...

I am still confused about studies? I do know I never mentioned them. My comprehension is just fine. I am quite aware of what I wrote. It simply mentions there are costs that the general populace supply’s even though they may not be a recipient.

Your comments do not show proper comprehension of my post. Can’t recall mentioning anything about studies. The Dollar Paid is not a good indicator of materials used. It does not include many tax payer funded benefits that are involved in material production.

You folks who are debating the impact of vehicles on the environment should realize all aspects of production and use should be considered. That includes all the materials required for construction and providing fuel for the vehicles. ( eg. Producing petroleum, metals, plastics or electricity...

It all depends on how the diesel is formulated.

Trying to fix a hose leak is an exercise in futility!

Rethink concrete pavers. Installed on a proper base they are much easier to handle than concrete. On the base sprinkle some lime/cement over the base just prior to laying the bricks. For finishing sprinkle concrete and very fine sand on the floor, brush it smooth and wet it well and keep wet for...

Leather outer mitts with heavy wool or thinselate inner gloves. Waterproof gloves will retain moisture that freezes into solid ice lumps.

Best go the propane supplier with you plans and they will tell you what is required to meet your/their needs. They will inspect it the installation before fuel is supplied.

One very additional item is a young strong back!

On the lower hose heaters I have used there has been vertical and horizontal required. The element has to be in a certain way for the thermostat to operate. Freeze plug heaters also have the same constraints. Upside down they do not work.

If it’s a hose replace it.

The Lower hose location would be Better if the heater can be installed in the proper orientation

That could well be true.

Consider an in-line hose heater. Easy to get the proper size and installation.

Concrete is an engineered material. There are numerous hand books on use and design that are very precise. Fortunately it is an accommodating product that for much common use ( homeowner ) serves well despite abnormalities from proper design. Dry mix, some places known as high early, is used...

If it starts easily with present batteries when it is warm look at battery replacement.

Looks nice but the chances are you will end up shovel mixing. most of your concrete in the tub.

Well built and looks good. Is there enough room inside to allow work on the well/well head components?p

Do the headlights and such things work. If yes check the electrical contacts on the PTO Lever. If no then start with checking the battery connections and fuses.

On a cold start the oil pressure may be good but that does not mean the oil is circulating properly. There must be a reason industrial equipment is usually set up with a prelube interval in the start procedure.

Back blade with gage wheels and windrow back and till you run out of windrow.

Does your fuel solenoid have the well loved thermistor in its circuit? If no clack when key is turned this may be the problem.

Rubber electricians tape works well for a temporary fix that can be extended.

There are also separate dampers that are placed in line with the Gage.

Tar paper at that time was quite a bit heavier than that of today. Almost like felt.

I’d go for pine.

Try boosting it with the present battery disconnected.

Not knowing your equipment: Some JD’s have a thermistor in the fuel pump circuit that does fail. Tractor cranks over but the injection pump is not activated.

Do you get the fuel pump click when turning the key?

It has become very obvious I made a mistake on the post!!🤔☹️

For 6 acres most of the suggestions suggest an oversized tractor. Twenty five or so HP will do you just fine.

As has been stated time is a big factor. It’s hard work and you may not be able to keep up in a timely mater to get proper finishing and pouring done. There are limits to one man do it yourself prodject.

A well packed drained foundation is all that is required. The materials matter not.

The pull in portion of the wiring is not cutting out and leaving the hold circuits in use. On some JD’s there is a thermistor controlling this function. A ten dollar item.

Your idea of using crushed aggregate as a pad for your equipment is probably the simplest option. Gives you a nice base to work on and set your equipment on.

On a Kubota B7100 ( no power steering ) a sharp tap with a brass mallet did the job.

Best be getting some certified advice. Racking, vertical loading, post bucking, roof tie downs, even foundation supports Your lumber supplier may have certified plans available or may design to your specifications.

https://www.powermotiontech.com/hydraulics/hydraulic-valves/article/21885085/a-guide-to-flow-control-valves-types-and-use-cases.” just some information.

For flow control use a globe valve Or a fixed/variable orfice type valve.

Just make sure the proper safety devices are there for him to use!

A rear blade with gage wheels will eliminate much of the up/down movement. It’s probably the best implement for three point road maintenance.

Many tractors have pressurized front axle. No vent.

Make the exit under a pond formed downstream. The pond freezes over but the water under the ice will continue on.

Water changes density over a certain temperature range. In the OP’s situation drainage has to be below ground. Open trenches will freeze.

The closing of businesses is just a natural follow up when manufacturing is transferred off shore.

Take it apart, cut at weld, grind and reweld. With a partially broken weld you can’t see the additional cracks.

If it’s threaded or there is tubing, pipe or hose there will be fittings, gauges and valves that will work At the required pressures. Tubing or threaded fitting will be the easiest to break into.

Does the fuel solenoid activate the pump

There is a safety switch on the neutral lever.

Hold a match to the “hot air” escaping from the faucets Before you start replacing things.

Check the muffler exit for clogging.

To eliminate frost heave remove material to below frost line and backfill with material that will not support capillary action!

Frost heave: https://theconstructor.org/practical-guide/frost-heave-effects-prevention/29754/

Check The well water levels.

Do a check on the fuel supply system. Even the screen in the tank. Also check if the fuel is jelling.

In one case I used concrete sidewalk blocks laid flat for 15 years or so With no cracks. In the picture shown the slate rocks have been in use for over 20 years. They both sat above normal ground elevation with no side walls. Gives excellent burning conditions. In the picture shown the flames...

What’s the fuss about having a metal type container for a fire pit? Just build the fire on a non combustible material that’s large enough to contain all the flammables. Concrete sidewalk blocks or flat slate rock work well.

The proper way to do it. The engineer in question may the best interests of the insurance in mind!

It should be fixed to The standards of the local building code. Insurance will probably demand this for repair payment and ongoing insurance. with renters you have no option other than an approved fix.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Sea-Spray There were biological experiments. More than we probably know about.

There have cases where chemicals have been sprayed for weather control. Mostly to turn hail into rain. In other cases it was to divert rain from certain areas. In other cases cities have been targeted for experiments in the spread of bacteria/virus organisms.

The thermistor: Controls amperage to the injection pump solenoid. lots of net information.

Cold weather starting: quick and simple is to throw a tarp over the tractor and place a 1500 watt electric heater with fan under it. That’ll warm up the whole tractor. Then there is a block heater or in-line hose heater. Those are quite easy to install.

That’s been done more than once. Ash bucket of hot coals also worked.

You might have a thermistor in the solenoid wiring. They sometimes go bad. No “click” check the thermistor first. They have been known to fail. It should be located behind the fuse block. It’s ten dollar item. Easy to access and replace. The solenoid engages the injection pump. It does not...

Does the fuel pump solenoid click. If not it may be the thermister. ?

You might have a thermistor in the solenoid wiring. They sometimes go bad.

Used to live in an area of cold temperatures where block heaters were used.

Block heaters will work in continuous duty. Lots of misinformation surrounding block heaters!

If there is a solenoid in front of the Injection pump check to see if there is a thermistor involved in controlling the solenoid. The solenoid disables the injection pump. They as ten dollar or so item for the the thermistor. The solenoid gets more expensive.

When hammering on something like that using a backup hammer may be a good idea.

Pound for pound wood has equal btu content. Moisture in the wood has to be vaporized which requires heat.

One could always pull a straight disk (no angles ) behind the regular disk. Should work the about same as the spiked toothed drags

Air, needle sprayer.

Hit it with a needle scaler and evaluate. If okay give it a dose of phosphoric acid and clean up. Final coat of rust preventative paint spray.

For a fire pit. ( hill ) use about sic 2 by 2 concrete sidewalk blocks placed on a gravel pad about one foot high. Or some large slate rocks. lots of air circulation. Easy to set up a cooking platform, gives nice heat to surroundings, let’s you use longer lengths of wood.

Check timing & govenor?

If the fittings are under pressure it probably will not work.

It looks like a nice bridge. There are too many unknown variables to contemplate a proper load rating. I doubt if an engineer would touch it.

There was a time tractor pulling ability was rated by how many plow bottoms it could pull.

A dozer blade can be mounted on the front.

Don’t worry too much about tank size. Continuous CFM and pressure are the critical factors. See what your tool requirements are and buy accordingly. Less flow and pressure may work but the wrenches and grinders will not preform properly.

There will be specific measurements for sprocket and track wear.

Hiring it out would be most cost effective. A couple of feet of wet drifted snow can pack in like cement. To handle it the tractor might be needing 75 ?? Or so horsepower. A plow may not be ideal due to the narrow road. Snowblower would be best. Age is also a factor that needs...

On a well shaped compacted & drained clay roadway tow or three inches of crusher run 3/4 inch gravel should work. Might have to add a little bit every few years. It will also depend on the tire loading it will see. Or, you can spend lots of dollars for materials and build a road But chances are...

That hoe should work well with stumps.

Fifty years ago plows were a common agriculture impliment. I just can't recall even hearing about the problems that seem to be experience in today's world. It was just a matter of hooking up, getting the plow and tire aligned and going to work. It must have been the farmers just knew how it...

If’n you want to do a pressure test do the cylinder compression. Otherwise just pull the head for starters. Gasket leak or cracked block leak.

Your tractor should have no problem pulling pulling two bottoms. I’d suggest that your furrow may be too shallow??? and you’re cutting through all the roots Plus you do not have a breaking mole board That properly turns the sod. Ensure the plow is set up properly For furrow depth, pulls...

The in-line heaters work just as well as the core heater. There is a lot of Mystic Information on plug in heaters.

Those arrows and having it installed the right way up are essential.

Do most thermostats have a bypass??

Nothing new there. That used to be a common procedure in the winter. Perhaps one change was the tarp over the hood and a painful of hot coals under the crankcase. All the cars had those stick on shields on the windows. They did help. The other solution was to hook up a team of horses and pull...

Take the marine highway.

Does that mean a tarp and Herman Nelson will not work when starting Cat Equipment in very cold weather. That is a very common procedure on construction sites. A tarp and small electric heater have worked well for myself. It does heat the engine & radiator nicely in the same time frame as a...

So how does the water enter the tank? How does the tank get its initial pressure?

Thinking a little more about this scenario : As the pump was not pull-able cut & pull the tubing, drill out the pump, acid flush the entire bore hole, pressure test and if good flush the well bore and install tubing and pump. If the pressure test is bad drill new well. Just a question for the...

The old style tank would build up enough pressure to shut off the pump Even with no air in it. A tank bladder is just a compressible component. It definitely can’t build up any pressure. A pump adds energy to the system. The tank just stores it. It don’t make nothing.

The front bucket on the loader will work well on the mounds

Whatttt?? The tank holds water only.

Yes, just add that $1k to the new well Cost’s!

What to do is the question? To start with my knowledge is quite limited. With that said I’d recommend a new well be installed with all the currently proper equipment. It’s a straight forward procedure At a known cost. There is a know/proven water bearing formation available. Reworking the...

Cold chisel & punch the sides inwards.

When you got lots of chrome there’s no compelling reason to get home!

Steep & Deep is the requirement!

Play on steep deep snow covered slopes. The resulting slide will cover the noise very well.

Since some seem to think to loud noise garners safety attention. Perhaps removing mufflers from all vehicles should be happening! (So the truckers know we are there!)

Run them side by side so they cancel out on decibels and have to up the noise!

You gotta make noise so people can admire the chrome!

A little electrical space heater and a small tarp will work very well. No installation hoops to worry about.

Strength of square tubing vs angle iron all depends on the size/rating of the original material And connection types used.

Implements usually come in HP per when it comes to sizing. I’ve never seen weight per when it comes to matching tractor and implement.

The tailgate mileage issue has been resolved years ago. Keep it up for better mileage!

Perfect example of a small tractor pulling a disc With little to no good results. To use a disc properly takes HP. The two bottom rated tractors like shown were basically a waste of time when used for disking.

Many of those come with seating attachments. When it gets Steeper older methods prevail.

Well, gee wiz, I didn’t know that!!! :ROFLMAO: I think the bigger issue is WHY did they move offshore? Most people with a modicum of intelligence understand that manufacturers locate in places where taxes are low, regulations are reasonable, and labor is cheap. THAT is why they MOVED offshore...

The only reason you are buying Chinese Products is because industry moved their manufacturing offshore. The general public‘s only involement was product purchasing!! By the way; those soy boys, probably have resting heart rates of just over 50, BP pressures of 160/60 or so, can see their shoes...

Keep the bucket curled back. when going down very steep grades it is not unusual to have the bucket/blade lowered and pushing dirt to control descent rate.

While growing up the garden was not a hobby. It provided serious food for the year. Canning & freezing!

Chances are a vacuum is lowering pressure and gas is evaporating.

Bug control? Guinea hens, chickens, geese, ducks all do a good cleanup

On construction sites you’ll rarely see moving equipment with the bucket high in the air. Loaders in a gravel pit are different though.

If you are making small square bales without the ancillary handling equipment It’s just hard work.

Forget all that muss & fuss. Mow and fertilize!

We been getting acid rain generated in the Midwest for a long time now.

Caterpillar tractors ( D8 and up ) have cleared many sections ( 640 acres ) of land in the Northern Agricultural Regions of Canada. Basically, a tilt U blade with root rake for the clearing and large Disks or ploughs for final work. This may be followed by picking up short root pieces. Many...

Find a contractor with the proper equipment.

Drop the bucket

Okay, do the compression test and then pull the head!

Put a pressure relief valve between the pump and shut off valve. easiest is a pressure shutoff. No need for a tank.

Pulling the head is no big deal . It will let you see if there is a gasket or crack problem and the condition of the cylinder bores.

Pull the head. Then do the necessary motor rebuild work. Might be a gasket problem???

More HP is desirable. It should cause no problems. The belts must be tight or dressing may have to be used.

Patience, a little heat, a few taps on the end of the shaft, more patience!Maybe try and rotate the shaft??

If you do not find a blown fuse put in a new thermistor. It’s a ten dollar item. It gives more amperage to open the solenoid and then reduces amperage to keep it open.

Check and see if there is a thermistor for the solenoid power supply.

Does the tractor have thermistor to control the injection pump solenoid? If so check it out.

Air bags on my truck lasted 25 years.

He surely did. Since then he’s gotten all kind of recommendations that do nothing for truck being level.

Matters not how deep the casing goes. If whatever casing there is can leak unwanted water if it’s not sealed properly.

One of the main purposes of air bags is to maintain proper vehicle level. Timbre s do not do this.

Clear water is always nice!! Brown water with rain may indicate the casing is not properly sealed In the wellbore.
