    Stupid Thermostat

    Background: Last spring I had a new Goodman heat pump installed. It works well, thanks. The installer installed a Google Nest Learning Thermostat saying that's what it takes to control the energy saving features of my new heat pump. The thermostat has options to turn off the learning...

    Ford Car Door Locks

    This is specific to the 2006 - 2012 Ford Fusion but probably others. I could not get into the car, button would not unlock it. The physical key in the driver door did nothing. How does one get in? The trunk has an actual mechanical lock. The back seat release is in the trunk. One must...

    Asphalt Repair

    I live on an old lake bed, it was a lake about 14,000 years ago. I have an asphalt driveway. A bed of gravel was laid then run over with a vibrator roller and again a week later. It's settling anyhow and the asphalt is cracking. I suspect melted tar poured into the cracks is the proper way...

    Stinky Water Fixed

    I'm on a well with the pump at 440 feet. For some time the water has had a disgusting odor, kind of like rotten eggs. I started thinking about investing in a processing system of some sort. I noted my pressure tanks wouldn't hold pressure. After a period of procrastination I decided to...

    PTO - live and learn

    I did something stupid but perhaps I can spare someone else from my fate. I connected my mower PTO shaft but apparently it didn't lock into place properly. I got the mower spinning but the shaft slipped out of place dropping onto the mowing deck and flopping around while the blade slowed down...

    John Deere 40 Head

    I'm seeking a head for a John Deere 40. Mine was stolen right out of the yard while working on the tractor. If anyone knows of a head in good condition for a reasonable price please let me know. Thanks.

    Lossless Hydraulic Filter Change

    I have read you can connect a shop vac to reduce fluid loss during hydraulic filter change, unfortunately nobody tells how. The filler cap on my L2501 happens to be one inch NPT threaded. I used a one inch socket to male NPT PVC connector, a short piece of one inch PVC, and a PVC socket...

    Well Trooubleshooting and Fix

    I've had water issues of late - not lack of water, inability to get it to the surface. I put in a new pump controller for my old pump and the pump failed. I had a new pump installed using my month old controller. All was good until it wasn't. After two weeks I had no water. Motor drew...

    John Deere 2210 - will it run a 5' brush hog safely?

    The rule of thumb is five horsepower per foot of rotary mower. With a 23 HP engine and 17.7 PTO hp I don't believe I'd go over four feet with that tractor. The tractor is also a bit light for the five foot mower. With a 700 pound three point lift capacity you should be able to handle it but a...

    FEL Doesn't Float

    I've looked through old posts about float not working or staying in detent. I can't find my issue so I'll describe it. My joystick does go into the float position as it's supposed to. Instead of lowering under gravity the bucket goes up. Controls all respond normally otherwise, I've just got...

    Looking to Learn

    Hi, I'm from the never green end of the Evergreen State. I've got ten acres of sagebrush and tumbleweeds. I sold off the horses years ago. I've had a Mitsubishi D2350 for several years but parts are getting hard to find. I purchased a Kubota 2501 a couple months ago. Like a Harley I'm...
