Thank you for those true and kind words!

I had a fantastic day down on my oak savanna restoration project. My 88 year old neighbor approached me this summer and asked about the possibility of sitting with me in my deer blind durning the upcoming Wi deer hunt. This man is a rock and has led a remarkable life, raised on his...

.201 would be a number 7 . McMaster—Carr sells individual drill bits should you decide to go that route. https://www.mcmaster.com/products/drill-bits/system-of-measurement~wire-gauge/high-speed-steel-drill-bits~~/

Camera angles can distort but sure looks like the left, (as sitting in operators seat), front wheel and tire is "toed out" considerably.

I was out broadcasting common milkweed on my oak savanna project and thought the seed structure in a milkweed pod was pretty cool! I had my little 14 year old pup helping, she had a blast chasing milkweed seeds floating thru the air.

Dan, Thank you for your reply! Not sure if the "angry" emoji was meant for me and asking about the code situation? If so it seems like a valid question to ask. That being said, I would put my emphasis on getting the ECU and P0606 code situation sorted along with checking for any physical...

Other than the OP's original posting stating 3 codes are showing, P0606, PO627 and P0629 there has been no discussion as far as these codes. Might these codes not point to a possible solution if they are properly diagnosed?

I believe “pilot point” bolt or “dog point” is the most common descriptor for this style bolt. My impression is that “dog point” bolts and screws are more commonly used as “set” screws rather than a “pilot “ point bolt used for aid in assembly or alignment. I do not know if there is a...

“I used that sytle “lock pin” on EA-6Bs to secure the landing gear, drop tanks/bombs……but I can’t recall ever seeing one short enough to work in this application………..and for the life of me I can’t remember what they are called…….” Lots of Different styles , diameters and lengths. Google “quick...

I think your L3010 has "position" control and not "draft" control as you noted. Your position control has that black triangle shaped knob that is adjustable to allow the 3 point implement to lower to your pre-set height. Useful when using certain implements such as a box blade. In a nut shell...

Welcome and definitely looking forward to your restoration!

One of my favorite views, sitting on the tractor piling up brush and small trees. I graded the driveway washouts from the last heavy rains while my friend pruned white pine and oak branches which I then moved to a brush pile. Good day to get some outdoor time in, perfect weather.

Fun project and cool you can "prototype" with your 3D printer! I had the same thoughts that lynnmor has , keeping it shorter. I had a 13 x 40 gap bed lathe and at times doing faceplate work needed or wanted to get the saddle as close as possible to the headstock. I think adding a micrometer...

I have two 2 x 72 inch belt grinders and have purchased lots of belts. My understanding is that the tape used is both pressure and heat applied. Also a very thin tape that will not affect the sanding quality of a thick butt joint bouncing and loading up . My guess is that duct tape will not...

Finished up with all three required nesting boxes. Bluebird, bat house and today was the Kestrel nesting box. I had a lot of fun designing the pivoting tall bases and poles. Had great time with the friends that helped with this project.
