Well guys, it is all over, I am at the end of the road, the chemo did not work. The CT scan Monday shows that the cancer spread to my liver and colon. I have to see the docs at Sloan soon. Any other options, how much time left, find a hospice for my last days. What really burns me up, is that I...

Potty seat for tow hitch, do not use when truck is in motion. Small tractor, this tractor may cause death.

Well Bob, here is the pages from the Perkins engine manual. Notice that 6-10 make up the fill cup to the reservoir to lubricate the oil pump. The oil reservior is shown and unnamed. On the next page, item 7 is the pump housing also shown are the pump shaft and seals. My question after...

Took a walk to Burger King for lunch, I need to regain some of the weight I lost. Talk about the cost of eating out! $7.66 for a XT burger with medium fries and a medium soda. But it痴 only a burger. While I知 at it, what is the true cost of a sack of potatoes? The last time I bought 10 lbs of...

Another Forum aired its new format this evening, new is not always better. I really do not like it. Give it a chance? I did, about 5 mins.:(

Have any of you read the news articles about the next generation of the internet that is being planed? Google, Yahoo, Bing, Microsoft and PC manufactures are planning to do away with the hard drives in your PC and store your data in their network servers. Aside from the ton of things I do not...

I have a problem with my base board heating system that has driven me nuts for years. During the heating season I have to bleed air out of the system three or four times or the banging and grueling will have me go Postal. The system is a closed loop, boiler > pipes > radiators > pipes >...

I see Castrol has a new line of engine oils, Castrol Edge. There are a number of formulations some for Diesels and Turbo Diesels engines. Advancements in oil technology is always a good thing. Question: How does this new Edge oil compare with the regular Diesel oils that we use which are...

Looking for a backhoe for a Foton 704 with remote hydraulic couplers, thinking of a BH 850 or a CB 80. Dealer should be within 100 miles of NJ.

I spent four hours brush hogging an overgrown field this weekend with the new Foton 704, the coolant temperature was rock solid at 175 deg F. Just out of curiosity I took a reading with a IR heat gun at the upper radiator connection at the engine, 160 Deg F. The engine was 15 Deg cooler than...

Soon I will be receiving my new Foton 704 with Cat II 3pt hitch. My King Kutter rotary cutter [Brush Hog now] is Cat I. I would like to make it easer to install and remove the cutter by installing a Northern Tool Quick Hitch. The Quick hitch comes in two sizes, Cat I and Cat II, obviously Cat II...

Are radiator coolant filters worth the effort? Reading through the documation and seeing the photos of the trapped crud they look impressive. The trapped crud is flakes of sand from the engine castings than were not flushed and some gasket material. I think the sand would keep circulating and do...

I am considering a larger tractor for more FEL capacity with a cab, A/C & heat, FEL, backhoe. That puts me in the 50-80 hp class. Foton with the Perkins turbo engine looks very attractive. Now where may I find a dealer with a good price?

So you think you've accomplished something? I was watching the biography of Jack Beers last night on PBS, at 94, he rips a phone book in four, and that's not the half of it, his accomplishments would fill four or five life times. The documentary is titled " Holes in my shoes" A MUST to see...

This is way off the subject of welding. I have six granite boulders, that is, I think they're granite. About 4 ft in diameter, that weigh about 2.8 tons each. I can roll them with my tractor, much too heavy to lift. I've been trying to drill holes or cut groves in them without much success. The...
