    More electrical woes

    So, the power in my home is fluctuating. The UPS says 114v and sometimes 139v and everything in between. The lights are constantly dimming then getting bright again. The UPS in the computer room just decided to shut itself off at random after running fine for a year. I swapped it out for...

    Garlic ?

    I was given some garlic by a friend. I planted it last fall and it's starting to sprout. Now it's snowing again. Will the cold and snow hurt the new plants, or will I be, OK? Thanks Dave

    I ran across these pics today and thought I would share. I was always impressed with what that little tractor could do. BTW, those wheel weights under all the mud fit my Kubota BX2680 perfectly. Dave

    LED's for flashers

    I have a JD 4320. Is there an upgrade to the light bulb flashers on tractors? I just think the old bulbs are a bit dim. Maybe even some king of strobe replacement. Thanks Dave

    Out for a spin after work.

    I have to say after all these years of talking myself out of a UTV, I am glad I finally bought one. I never thought I would end up with a Mule. This thing is all I wanted and more. It's like the first time you get a tractor with a loader. How did I ever get by without one. LOL

    UTV tire pressure?

    Question? I have noticed the rear of my Kawasaki Pro-Mx tends to squat more than the front. The rear tires are flatter than the fronts with the same air pressure.

    Good woman, they are hard to come by.

    I worked all morning in the garden, did some trimming around the yard, all the while Amy took care of the dogs and cleaned the house. I was feeling a little tired. Amy said I'll finish the mowing for you. She grabbed her Bose earphones and went to town. This woman never ceases to amaze me.

    From mow to snow.

    I'm done mowing for the year. I love it for a while, but it becomes a chore half way through summer. Today I converted the BX2680 to a snow warrior. Dropped the mower, put on the chains, wheel weights, rops, and the plow. This too will become a chore sooner than later.

I do however see a screw in plug with what looks like a 1/2 inch drive opening in it. Could it be that I do not need this flange that John Deere...
