    How to "finish" loader bucket after repairs

    I'm not sure why it wouldn't be paint ready if it's being repaired. They may also paint it for you. They just need to make sure the yuse the right version of Kubota Orange for your tractor if you want it to match, but black or grey would probably be ok as well.

    Drain valve for a rain barrel

    I don't know if this explanation is going to make sense or not. The valve typically have a hole through the center. You can try positioning the valve through the hole in the rain barrel and running wire through it to the top where there is some type of hole. Slide the washer and nut over...

    Social Media?

    If you think anything goes on FB and Instagram, you must post content the moderators like. They are heavily moderated with a lot of rules. ;). X does allow different opinions.

    I'll just add that a QH doesn't make it easier since you have to get through the QH. :D

    Halifax Nova Scotia Dealership - Re-stocking fee

    I guess fraudulent depends if they actually got the order in or not. Someone has to pay to ship it back. I don't think the dealership should pay for all of it because you changed your mind about needing it. Fwiw, my dealer charges shipping if you rush a delivery, and doesn't if you just get...

    Thoughts on Propane Weed Torch

    I have one, but I don't feel it works that well (it's plenty hot). I think I bought mine at Harbor Freight.

    EMF sleep impact ... improvement?

    Fyi, not all routers or settings are equal. It might be worth changing settings or buying a different router.

    Buying out of state M7060 w/deleted DEF system and transporting/using in CA?

    From what I understand, deleting also requires tuning and removing parts. It's hard to say how that one was done. Personally, I wouldn't bother because emissions parts are very expensive and the tuning complex.

    When the wind blows too hard

    I'm not a wind power supporter. It seems they are the most inefficient at power production, and I hate the look. Sure, they made a lot of money for a few companies. As they age out, more people will realize how bad they are. Probably one of the bigger mistakes we've invested in. It seems...

    EMF sleep impact ... improvement?

    Like many, I've had more trouble sleeping than I used to. I've been looking into a bunch of different solutions. Recently, I found information that suggested EMF impacts sleep. They suggested switching devices to airplane mode if you don't want to leave them in another room. First, I...

    Microwave oven

    I don't know if it's worth working on although cleaning it with compressed air might be worth a try based on the @GeoHorn post.

    L2501 HST hit by car while grading road

    Distracted driving is already against the law in many areas. People who are prone to that will find something else like tuning their radio/talking to the people/dogs in their car/reading a book/eating/putting on makeup, etc. Many of us remember that before cellphones there were still people...
