Anyone have any first hand experience purchasing prescription drugs from Canada over the Internet? I understand you have to be careful as some of the drugs are foreign made and not up to FDA standards etc. Anyone have a good source or any thoughts? Thanks!

Anyone have any experiences with a Corn Stove? I'm thinking of putting one in my greenhouse. They seem a bit expensive but they may well be worth it in the long run. I'd be interested in anyone who has had one offer their comments. Thansk!

Anyone have any experience with Karcher Pressure Washers? I've had one for about 5 years now but only used it about three times a year. Now it's in the shop and they said that the pump is "shot". My inclination is to toss it out but it sure wasn't cheap. I hate to throw good money after bad...

I don't hunt myself but that doesn't mean I don't get my share of venison. A bunch of us are having a venison dinner night where everyone brings a dish. I could use an extra special venison recipe to cook up. Anyone out there have something mouthwatering they would like to share?

I found a handful of these and I can't figure out what they are. They are fairly well made. There is a little "plunger" out of the top and 3 cam like devices in the center. It is about 3 inches over-all length.

Anyone built a dump trailer, or modified a trailer into a dump trailer? I'm getting ready to do that and would like some insight. I plan to use a manual hydraulic ram. Thanks!

I found a very old US Dollar bill in one of my dad's old junk boxes today. I'm trying to find a web site to investigate it and check it's value, if any. It was issued in 1935 and has the word Hawaii printed in several places on it, very largely on the back. It is as crisp and new as a bill...

I finally finished setting up my re-fueling tank today. Nothing all that exciting but after finishing a tractor project I always feel compelled to post it! It's made from a 150 Gallon tractor-trailer fuel tank. It's got a 12v Fill-Rite Fuel pump on it with a combination particle/water...

A bit ago I started a discussion about putting a fuel drain in the bottom of fuel reservoir to drain the water out of it periodically. I'm still trying to get someone to weld a nut on the bottom of my tank in order to screw in a petcock. Those that can weld aluminum evidently don't wish to...

I recently sent a couple of private messages. They seemed to go okay but on the "My Home" page it says I have zero sent. How do I know if they went out?

Anyone have any experience with Solar Battery Chargers? I don't plan to use it on my tractor but I wondered how effective they are.

I'm finally getting ready to put in a refueling tank with an electric pump. One of my neighbors showed me something the other day that I've not seen, nor have I read about it in our forums on refueling. He mounts his tank at a very slight angle and puts a petcock on the bottom of the low side...

Anyone have any experience with the Fill-Rite transfer pumps from Northern Tools? I am looking at the "Standard Duty" models 109577 (12V) and 109578 (120V). They seem to come fairly complete with hose, nozzle, filter etc although I don't see a water trap included. Anyone have one of these...

I just realized that I am no longer able to serach "all forums" for a keyword. Unless I'm cracking up (quite possible) I was able to do it rececently and certainly in the past. Has something changed? I couldn't find a reference to any changes so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.

I have a small quantity of this limited edition, specially designed TBN Workstation for sale. Leverage your "private time"! Spend more time with the family! Get more "seat time" than ever! Free case of laxatives included with each order.

Anyone else taking advantage of the K-Mart going out of business sales? A lot of the items here locally are down to 50% off or better. I have spent a bunch of money! I got a "spare" Poulan chainsaw for $60, and a small compressor for $50 along with a bunch of other tools. I have a large...

In another thread on mowers there has been some discussion about chain guards and their importance for safety. These things seem rather simple yet rather expensive to buy. Has anyone ever successfully made one of their own? Any compelling reasons not to make one? I know they are a saftey...

Yeah, I know...in the grand scheme of things, what's the big deal. But as all of you know getting a new attachment is just plain exciting!! Of course that means I have to share with my friends. After shopping for a while and reading the thread on gear box vs belt, I decided to spring for the...

I've been trying to keep up with all of the finish mower threads as I am in the market. I haven't seen much on this topic so if I missed it I apologize. My local dealer has belt drive and gear box type finish mowers. I am looking at Woods and Bush Hog brands. The gear box type costs more and...

I know it's not such a big deal to you guys but my good friend's son just got picked up by the Indianapolis Colts in the 6th round of the draft this weekend. His name is Dave Pugh and he's graduating from Virginia Tech where he's been playing college ball. Pretty exciting for a small town like...

I have been hunting for a finish mower for my Kubota L3600. I saw an ad today for a 6' Woods finish mower that is 2 years old, supposedly seldom used and like new. They're asking $1350. Before I drive (it's a hike) to look at this thing what does everybody think? Doesn't sound real cheap to...

I thought some of you might find this link interesting. It is a database on CNN of all of the 9/11 victims. It shows a thumb nail photo of most along with some basic data about them. You can sort by any criteria by clicking on the header at the top of the column or even click on the name for...

I seem to have an electrical problem on my Kubota L3600DT. The last time I used the tractor I noticed that my radio suddenly lost power and didn't come back on. This afternoon it worked when I first started using the tractor but then it died again. I figured a connection had come loose...

This is yet another boring but hopefully useful posts on a tractor near miss. I was working in an open area in the woods scraping up soil to use to fill a hole somewhere else. I had the bucket full and up too high. I started to reverse with the wheels cut full, lowering the bucket as I went...

There is a deal (actually several that are identical) on E-Bay for chain attached forks for $259.00. Looking it over it seems fairly attractive. Of course I'm not sure what the shipping charge would be but what do you think? Anyone here know more about these? The offer can be found <A...

I've been reading the volume of threads on forks and the mulitple varieties of them. Load Stops are mentioned frequently but I'll be darned if I could find a photo of one as an example. Maybe I missed it but if anyone has a photo of load stops on forks, please post a few. Thanks!!

Anyone have any first hand experience with this stuff? I've read a lot about it and heard some bad things likes it's rough on the bare feet and it's invasive. I know there are a lot of different varities. Anyone ever grow it? What do you think?

Is there any way to do a search and just get back a single response for each new subject or reply posted? I really only need one instance to see if it's a thread that would interest me or one that I have been following. This would obviously cut down the length of the report tremendously...

Anyone have any experience with those newer Motorola communications radios on the FRS frequency? Some models are getting pretty inexpensive and I was womdering if anyone has any experience with their performance.

Okay, the only purpose of this post is to vent! Bush-hogging on the back nine yesterday and ran over a two foot piece of ancient barbed wire. Now my baby is sleeping outside (lions and tigers and bears, oh my!) with a rear tire flat as a pancake. All of my precious and expensive fluid laying...

After years of going to my friends shops to use their drill press I'm finally getting my own. I have been looking at drill bits and have found it to be greatly confusing. High Speed Steel, Titanium, Cobalt etc etc. And whats worse is that there is obviously a wide range in quality. I can...

Well my new Kubota house finally arrived. A month late, but at least in time for the winter. I mentioned it in a earlier post on outbuildings so I thought I'd post a photo of it. I was losing the ligh when this was taken but it will serve.

Well with the first few cold nights , my battery in the Kubota has been very weak and sluggish. The guy I bought it from told me the battery might be reaching the end oif it's life sycle. It's done great in the warm weather, but.... Well, let's have it fellas...what is everyone's experiences...

I had a professor who said there is no such thing as a stupid question...just stupid people who ask them. So here I am. Being a new Kubota owner (formerly John Deere) I haven't taken my tractor apart yet (hopefully never will!). Is the hardware metric, SAE or both?

I've seen the photos of Hayden's custom Top N Tilt customization and it looks great. I've seen a few others of you who wrote in who have made similar changes to their tractors. It sounds like everyone took slightly different approaches such as the location of the controls etc. Are there any...

I am one of the "welding impaired" folks on this discussion board. Over the years I have acquired an ARC welder and a gas welder but lack the skill to use them properly. I would like to change that and I thought I should first choose one of those to concentrate on. Which method is used most...

Yet another project extolling the virtues of magnetism. Harv was kind enough to offer me his invention of a tool box rack that is mounted to the ROPS and uses magnets to hold the box in place. Slick idea, I thought and I knew I had to have one. I did make some ever so slight changes to the...

Here is my version of the now infamous Chalkley Cup. I must say that that bad boy is even bigger in person than it seems in the photos. Unfortunately there are no 7-11's around here so I can't take advantage of the 88¢ refills. Anyway my cup is basically the same as the others except I cover...

Does everyone have one of those plastic screen/cup filters stuck in their fuel filler neck? If so, is it as annoying to you as it has been to me?

This is a photo of the top right side of my FEL bucket. In the foreground is a sleeve type thing welded on. Next to it is a hole and 8" or so past that towards the center of the bucket is that small bracket. The other side of the bucket has the same. What are they for? I don't have a book...

I was bush hogging yesterday and looked down to see the fuel gauge dead on "E". I quickly pulled over to the shop and put 5 gallons in figuring that would hold me for a while. When I started her up, the fuel gauge showed Full! Now this is only the second time I put fuel in her. The first...

\'Tribute to Heroes\' Telethon Tomorrow night is the 'Tribute to Heroes' telethon on all networks to raise money for victims affected by last week's tragedy in New York, Washington and Pennsylania. As an AT&T employee I am proud to be a part of one of five call centers that will be manned by...

Here's one of it installed.

This hardly qualifies as tractor customization but we don't have a do-dad forum so... I've never seen one of these, maybe some of you have. It's a light for a tent, made by Coleman. It has magnets on the back and a metal plate which would go outside of the tent. Of course, I'm always...

I received my Tiltmeter last week and of course, set out immediately to mount it. Rick (from R&B) and I kicked around a few ideas. I ended up with this set-up, photo attached. Since this is in a generic forum, I'll mention that it is mounted on a Kubota L3600 ("orange" you glad I pointed that...

I haven't read all the posts here on the recent disaster, but in case it was missed the NYC fund to collect donations is at http://www.nyswtcrelieffund.vista.com in case anyone is so inclined.

Attached is a photo of a greenhouse I built from the ground up (no kit). I spent months researching it. I learned quickly that to build one right, there is a LOT to learn. I read extensively both in print and electronic media, then developed plans electronically. I'm proud of how it came out...

Well it's goodbye to ol' Buck, my John Deere relic. It was a good tractor for over 10 yers but it was time for an upgrade. I sure do love my Kubota but will miss ol' Buck. This is the last photo taken, minutes before the mean man with the big trailer hauled him away. Well, he really wasn't...

For all you magnet fans out there, I just found another interesting option. Forcefield.com is undoubtedly the king of magnets but I just found some interesting ones at Hartville Tool. They sell round rare earth magnets up to 1" diameter (1 inchers cost 2.10). The neat part is the cups they...

I have a chance to buy a 7' KingKutter finish mower, model SFM-84. It's in excellent condition and he's asking $1000. I think I can get it for $900. This seems like an excellent deal to me...any advice on the mower or the price? Anyone know what this costs new?

Since we took off on an animal thread recently, I thought I'd post a photo of a little fawn that wandered up our drive this spring. I saw him coming and couldn't believe my eyes. He came up and plopped down under our SUV like he knew where he was going. I took several photos and it didn't...

One last plug for my new (new to me) L3600. I just put a canopy on it yesterday. Well, geez, I've had it over a week now! Besides, it's hot here in Virginia. I got it from the local Kubota dealer and put it on myself (okay, I needed the wife to help hold it up). It's a nice size and covers...

I just bought a 1997 Kubota Model L3600, 4WD with FEL. It has 1390 Hours and is in excellent shape. I paid $13,000 for it. I've used it about 6 hours and I love it so far. I just discovered Tractorbynet and wondered if anyone had an opinion how I did price wise. Photo Attached.
