    Ever had this happen?

    It happened to me not too long ago when I was looking to buy a cheap generic 12vdc starter relay at the local auto parts store. I didn't have to walk with him to pick it off the back room shelf......but I did have to locate it on his parts computer for him. He had no clue. Sheesh!!! :rolleyes:

    I drank the Kool-Aid and took delivery of an All Electric sub-sub compact utility vehicle and absolutely love it!!

    You'd have to pick up something like this in order to have your favorite beverage along on the ride. A side benefit would be that it could somewhat pass for your headgear protection??

    Yikes! My picture didn't get attached last night and then I got caught up in and fell asleep during a FIFA soccer match. My apologies for keeping you all guessing!! Here's the new sub sub-compact all electric vehicle: I also forgot to mention the best part: There's only room for one person...

    I drank the Kool-Aid and took delivery of an All Electric sub-sub compact utility vehicle and absolutely love it!!

    Although the tire is more of an R3, I’m thinking an R4 type would allow for more pulling power even though it does extremely well as is. Adding tow hooks or a receiver hitch, however, is going to take some thinking. On the plus side: This thing is awesome!! Charge time is 4 hours or less from a...

    ROPS will not Fold on new ZD1211

    From the shipping crate picture that @whitetiger posted in post #15: is there a possibility that the floor skirt got pushed in during the crating or uncrating process? Especially with the rops mounted separately in the crate as pictured. Is there any hint of scuff marks on the top half of...

    Any tips on replacing a pedal safety switch on a B2650hst rops?

    I have a B2650 and it's been trouble free, so far. But I think there's a thread on this site about removing/replacing the switch and the availability of a special wrench sold that makes it much easier. Not sure if it was a proprietary size, maybe a thin angled piece, or something else...

    Lx2620 buyers be aware

    After you've determined original setup was/is correct and don't want to take the time for the dealer to correct it: a "quick" option is to use a sharp point permanent marker to mark the misalignment hole on the metal tab. Then take a die grinder and bit to enlarge the hole to the marked...

    My Next Stupid Question regarding PTO power.

    Another interesting variable that comes to mind is the fact that determines what one horsepower is. Going back to basic physics: It takes 1 HP to raise 550 lbs. 1 foot in 1 second. If you're running your tractor uphill with a loaded bucket, rear implement, (maybe loaded tires), etc., its not...

    Ditch cleaning help

    Funny you mentioned a flame thrower. I just put a new replacement "ignition kit" in one for a gentleman this past weekend. He uses it to burn wheat chaff that collects or blows into his field drainage ditches, etc. A "PulseFire" made by ExOThermic. It sure is a nice piece of kit!! But it...
