Recently we had a 20+ inch snow fall. I had a lot of snow to move/reposition. Took me a week to get the blasted stuff off the roof as it was both heavy and wind packed. What was raked on the decks had to be shoveled to the ground. I had piles that looked like the end of winter. So I uncovered...

Never had a rear PTO blower. The one I had for my old Kubota GR 2110 (front mount) worked well but was a royale pain to put on and take off. I don't have a lot of road or drive to clear, so I have a Cub Cadet 32" 3X walk behind and that critter is a snow eating beast. It has been a game changer...

Just remember, before you screw in the zirk that fits, you clean out as much of any old lube and dirt that is in the hole before pumping in any more grease. For me, if I was in this situation a blast of brake cleaner in the hole to clean out any old grease with grit in it would be my first...

I'm doing a siding project on the house. The front porch/deck had to go for me to get to the siding that was rotted away. I used the 2380 to lift off one section of the deck. two to go. I'm taking off the old crappy MDF (Masonite) lap siding. Novic stone stack stone plastic fake stone siding...

Thanks for all the replies. I will bite the bullet and get some new ones. I'll use these old belts for hand sanding.

Now that is innovation at its best.

I have an old Craftsman 4 X 21" belt sander and when I got it, I looked around for bulk quantity belts. I finally found Klingspor abrasives, and they had bulk sales. I bought a large box of assorted belt grits and haven't used it for quite a few years. Recently I had a project that the sander...

Today I harvested an ingredient I'll use for a lot of things to eat. That would be the Bhut Jolokia or better known as the Ghost pepper. I grew Carolina Reapers the last two summers and they did ok but were limited as to how many I got off one plant. This year I tried the Ghost pepper and wow...

Yes, something simple like treated timbers, a single row of retainer blocks, just something you mow up to and adds curb appeal.

First off congrats on the new farm. I'm lazy by nature and I hate mowing on a hillside like that. If it was me, I would put a border at the top of the hill and plant a low cropped drought tolerant ground cover from the border to the street. Something like Myrtle, an Ivy, or Sweet Woodruff. No...

In our yard, it is a maze of gardens, trees, and other obstacles that a tractor mount blower just won't work. I have an older MYD lawn tractor I took the mower deck off and only use it to pull a garden cart or the lawn sweeper. Where I can't get to with the tractor, I use my Husky backpack...

We still have a landline through the Spectrum bundle and love it. Our phone has caller ID and if a call comes in that we don't recognize the number we just let it go to see if the caller leaves a message. Our cell phones are TracFone that we only use for emergency calls, calling while on a road...

Cool. I do wish you safe trip and lots of fun dog downing.

I know you are in the Petosky area and if push comes to shove there is a place in Gaylord called Gaylord Machine and fabrication that sells both uncut steel and drops. Gaylord machine and fabrication - Search I called A&L iron and metal in Gaylord and they only sell to large companies. Good...

You have the know how and tools to do the fix so if it was me, I would do the teardown now and save yourself a lot of heartache. Last thing you want is a breakdown on the side of the road somewhere in bumscratch Egypt.
