If you don't like YELLING, you wouldn't like being around if my tractor did this. And you certainly wouldn't like WORDS THAT I WAS YELLING. 🤬

Should have named them Flingers instead of Flickers. 😄

"Bullbats". That is the first time in 60 years I've heard the name but we saw them often at dusk when I was a kid.

When I was a kid it was common practice to soak feet in kerosene after stepping on rusty nails. Many kids were barefoot during warm weather, even in elementary school. Diesel would taste better than medicine we had to take for colds,caughs,sore throat and stomach elements.

Whippoorwill and other birds in that family are about the least understood of anything on wings. Whipperwill calls online aren't the same as those I've always heard. Difference being online call is continuously repeated whereas what I hear near me is two or more birds intermittently calling...

I must mow grass while it's green or the place would become overgrown and look awful. The best I've found is the same oscillating pressure washer nozzle I use on concrete and brick. Park tractor and support deck with blocks while washing. Downside is that I get overspray on me but that's...

A stitch in time to save nine can make a difference. Since I began using Dexoit products, my problems decreased to a fraction of what they were in past. Circuit boards, relays, trailer lights, fuse blocks and anything else plugged in instead of soldered, treat per directions on cans. I'm...

By-passing safeties and solenoid is a handy troubleshooting trick but one must be vary cautious about suggesting it. Majority people that don't already know how and why it's done understand little else about their tractors. Saying be careful is often not sufficient when a person is about to...
