fire

I know somebody that has had a barn fire. Lots of hay around his balers, but no hay in the balers. Two small square balers were lost. I don't know if the equipment ultimately will be insured, a bit of a problem with structure insurance vs equipment insurance. Sorry, no photos at the moment...

Stove Pipe cleaned, inspected, & reinstalled. Ready for Autumn.

since last winter I've been having an intermittent problem on my 4310, the 30a fuse for the headlights/signal lights blows for no apparent reason, it first happened when i changed the tilt on the steering wheel to accommodate the bulky winter clothes and expanding waistline. with warm weather...

I posted elsewhere about a nurse I talked to who got out of a burning house with the clothes she had on. Her smoke detectors never went off and a neighbor saw the fire and got them out. Fire started at one end of the house and she and her son were at the other end. Our house is a one story with...

A couple years ago, I was backing my zero turn mower into its parking space under the barn overhang when I felt heat on my back. I turned around to flames shooting up from the motor. Luckily, I was 8 feet from a fire extinguisher. A rodent (?) had chewed into the gas line, and fuel had been...

Much of Oklahoma caught fire yesterday. My shop burned pretty hot. Tractor was inside. It's covered in Black soot from plastic and vinyl burning. I did start the tractor but it sounds different. It's a new yanmar ym342 with 48 hours. I did call in a claim. Im going to ask adjuster to have it...

Got a phone call this morning that the neighbor next to my property let his fire get away and burned about 15 acres of my property and one structure. The house trailer was unocupied but was used for storage. Not sure should I contact a lawyer, the DA or work out something with the neighbor. I...

I hope I can explain this properly, but from what I feel this is a miss fire. We got hit hard with snow. I had the tractor running with the snowblower with no issues, as I always do. Then shortly after, another snow storm. With a 1/4 tank, I went to get more diesel gas (only one place to...

I'm building an emergency fire fighting rig. Just something better than nothing, if I need to put water on a fire. Watch ash fall on the place is unnerving without any way to stop a spot fire. I bought a single axle 6x10 trailer and two 275 gal IBC tanks on CL pretty cheap and a new 2" trash...

Have you ever had a hard time starting a fire on a pit or a pile of wood debris? Have you used a diesel for starting to burn the pile of wood debris? This propane torch will give you an answer on how to start the fire on the pit or wood debris. The full propane cylinder can start the fire about...

So still working on my 2120 Ford NH. Had a blown head gasket (believed), dismantled what was needed to pull the head off. Gasket looked good other than one small spot, where I believe it had blown through between the cylinders. Anyway, cleaned up the head, block, everything looked really...

Do people on here help with stuff like this? Fox 19 Cincinnati Ohio did a news thing on it.they did a go fund me that was advertised in the news show.they really need help.and this isn't a scam

I have been meaning to do this for years: protect my water well head from wildfire, impacts from trees, the sun, and even freezing. Wildfire damage in the Santa Cruz Mountains a few years ago was a real wake-up call to those of us who have unprotected well heads. I know of several cases where...

Anyone ever use this stuff? Atwood’s has it on sale and I’m wondering if it’s any good. Also does anyone know if it’s GL4 rated?

My Agracat 254 was running until we left the fuel valve off snd run dry on fuel. Since then we cant get to restart. Have bled through injectors. In interim we lost all power through ignition switch do replaced. It would turn over but seems like no fire. Now we just get a clicking from the 30...

I got good advice to remove our infestation of fire weed, but in South East Qld some of the the weeds have already seeded. We are pulling them out anyway. We found lots of fireweed in one paddock which was not grazed and not slashed so the grass is high and we just didn't think. Member...

No fire to either plug on gt2550 with 22 hp Koehler command. Engine cranks over fine. No blown fuses. Any ideas before I remove blower housing to check coils?

Ford 9n with no fire. Coil is good, all parts in distributor replaced , points set to spec. Still no fire at any plug. Took distributor off running tractor and put it on this one, still no fire at any plug. Somehow it seems that the issue is upstream from the coil but can’t figure it out. Any...

I have an old Kiddie home fire extinguisher in my dozer that I've never used, but thought it was a good idea to have one when working around the burn pile. Last weekend, I lit my burn pile and kept an eye on it in my new cabbed tractor. I thought I saw some ash float down on top of my fuel...

The firehouse burned https://www.wabi.tv/2024/05/22/fire-marshals-office-investigating-fire-stacyville/ This is why I've gotten out of the habit of leaving my batteries on charge. Last month I had a 6aH battery and charger overheat.

So my new Precision 327 grapple is on it's way to me. I anticipate pulling out lots of Honeysuckle, Multiflora and years of accumulated downed trees. I don't have many flat safe places to burn stuff. One spot would be on a food plot. My question is if I have a brush/wood pile fire, what will...

Our John Deere E110 mower caught fire last Saturday. Still don’t know the reason why. It started in the front near the exhaust. But it didn’t have any electrical issues or gas leaks. It was the first time we mowed my daughters backyard. It wasn’t that big a yard 60x45 feet. The grass wasn’t that...
