    Lantern fly killer

    Brilliant. Every spring I have to spray my Hybrid Willow trees for Plagiodera versicolora ... (willow beetle) I use a back pack sprayer but they grow tall very fast.... might borrow your concept next spring.

    4 foot LED'S

    I agree with ditching the ballasts. About 7 years ago I replaced all my garage and basement 4' T12 florescent tubes with LED tubes (110v) I haven't had a lick of problem with any of them. They are super bright and turn on instantly ... I think I went with 5 or 6000K ... whatever...

    Bearing press

    Like they said, You don't need a press. but if you want a press, I second the HF suggestion... I beefed mine up by adding corner gussets and stuff.... I also added the HF air over hydraulic bottle jack.... sure beats pumping it by hand. Before I had the HF press I used to use my wood...

    Determining hydraulic hose length needed by using a garden hose

    I saw a guy on the Youtube who took a long section of thick angle iron and chained it to the bucket with chain binders.... then ran the tractor in reverse..... dug a nice little trench.

    Rebar to the rescue.... has probably been used in more applications than the original intent. :cool:

    Backhoe

    cool. should be a fun project.... I've taken on a few projects like that in the past. It consumes me (mentally) I drive a truck all day and never listen to the radio...... some guys think I'm nuts but I just tell them It's a "thinking mans truck" :ROFLMAO: I try to never go with my...

    John Dow Fuel Transfer Tank Question

    Not familiar with the John Dow tanks but be aware of the vent size also. the larger nozzles are high flow. If the vent is too small you will get soaked when filling it.

    Backhoe

    Can't help you on the PF plans but my $0.02 is it would probably be easier to find an appropriate size backhoe attachment and then fabricate mounts or whatever necessary to mount it to your tractor... probably be cheaper in the long run especially with the price of steel and hours of labor...

    Tie rod ends

    I probably wouldn't go that route.... But if you really want to, They sell all kinds of tie rod ends you just need to take the old ones off and measure the taper. There is a couple ways to measure taper... with fancy math or trace it out onto paper and use a protractor
