    Exhaust flapper?

    If you put a flapper on have the opening facing the cab (hinge to the front). This way if you get under some small branches the are less likely to snag the cap and rip it off.

    3 pt bale mover? Other purposes?

    I'd wait to find actual pallet forks. The ability to adjust width is what makes them valuable. I kept watching FB and found a pallet fork frame/mount. New, no forks.....$150, it was for a mini skid steer. I cut the mount off and made the mount frame for my tractor. I had a set of forks...

    New (to me) B7100HST 4wd - All sorts of questions.

    If you have a use for the dirt scoop you could easily cut a few inches out of the center modify the support bracket and weld it back together. Make it any width you choose. Kubota did make some small ones. Maybe find someone to trade on FB-MP.

    Crazy high speed crash

    Best thing is it happened at 1:00-1:30 AM so dealership was closed. Young guys with fast cars are invincible until their body tells them otherwise. They weren't taught the idea of allowing "a reasonable allowable margin for error" in decision making.

    Polishing your fuel

    Interesting link. Polishing fuel is "removing moisture"? I'm not familiar with that terminology. Back when diesel was $5 a gallon, a few years back, I filtered drained motor oil through filters and used as fuel in one of the tanks on a 6.9 diesel in an '84 Ford had.

    B7100 Water (?) in Hydraulic Fluid

    I have a piece of equipment that has been out in the open it's entire life. It has a 4 sped gearbox. I keep the shifter boot in excellent condition, but I also cover the entire shifting lever with a feed sack. I roll the edges of the sack to the inside, put it over the shifter and use bungee...

    Oversize load shuts down road in texas

    I am astonished how reporters handle their work. I've read several report and looked at pictures of this and realize reporters know very little about what they write. Many call it an 18 wheeler. Guess it never occurred to them why 18 wheelers are called 18 wheelers. They infer the truck was...

    Expecting a problem next door....

    If you have this conversation you might add you're good friends (with those you mentioned earlier) and make him aware you have then out for a cookout from time to time. Let him know if they are here and smell your dumped sludge there may be repercussions. Might want to get it fixed before that...

    Fiddle farting around on the farm.

    Maybe Trapper Bob will tell how much he received in the Wichita area. The storm we received came from his direction.

    Fiddle farting around on the farm.

    In the last 5 days we've received over 5" here at the house, but amounts vary. Thirty miles to the south near Mound City they received 8 1/2" Many roads closed today. We were quite a ways behind with water levels a concern.

    Could my grave be on my land?

    I know this thread had gone off the rails, but… Is it possible in some areas to legally bury, cremate, or otherwise dispose of a corpse without involving a licensed provider? (Not sure how you’d do a home brew cremation unless you went with the currently out of vogue funeral pyre thing.) Kind...

    Tractor stuck in a failed shop.

    If I were you I'd take my father to the shop and let him see HIS tractor. It may set him off with the idea someone has his tractor. Just his interaction, along with what you have tried to explain to them, may motivate them to release the tractor. If not, let them know they will be hearing...
