I also use adapters for other tools. I have one for my Craftsman C3 tools and another for Workz.

I had wanted a cordless 1/2" impact and a 4-1/2" grinder for a while. Like you I was invested in DeWalt but didn't want to pay the price for tools I will seldom need or use. I broke down and bought both tools for under a $100 that use the DeWalt batteries. Not concerned about weight so they will...

My plastic fenders were starting to get chalky looking. I tried McGuire's plastic polish on them and they turned back in a few days. I read somewhere that tire black stuff would work and I had some so I wiped them down with that. The are still orange several days later. McGuire's plastic polish...

Yeah pics of tractor and trailer plugs would help get accurate answers.

Here is a video of the same unit being used behind a BX. The guy said it worked fine for him but he eventually caught a ripper on a rock that bent the ripper. It would do fine for light duty work in my opinion. I biggest reason for not wanting to mess with it any more was I didn't want the take...

I never got around to trying this out. It would hook up to my cat1 JD by moving the lift arms inward. I tried to flip it but found no interest so it sits out along the fence. I recently came across a deal on a heavy 6 foot box blade made by A&B Eagle Line. I spiffed it up and added 240...

MEH! Since I retired I have rushed through and made more dumbass mistakes than I did in my whole previous working life. My patience with jobs AND people is wearing thin as I age.

I wouldn't "gut" the existing filter in fear if having to undo and put it back in. Remember catalytic converter test tubes? What you would want ideally is a tube or muffler that will bolt on in place of the existing filter. You may need or want a muffler in place of the filter. Sensor wise I...

I haven't studied the system but in addition to removing the filter it should be as simple as replacing the before and after sensors with simulators to keep the ECU happy.

I don't tow all that often. I replace my car trailer tires 5 at the time every 9 or 10 years whether they need it or not. I keep all 5 tires covered with those silver sun shield things when it's not being used. My spare has never come off the mount until time to replace them all.

I'm somewhat jealous. I got to use one for the last 16 years of my working life and didn't get to retire until I was 65. It's been 9 years and I don't have the space or income to own my own. I don't miss it that often. I have plenty of metal cutting and welding equipment to keep me occupied when...

Sounds like you would be cutting off your nose to spite your face to me. You're going to have parts and service issues regardless of tractor color depending on location and staff. JD Parts has been sending me emails advertising 15% off and free shipping on everything. I can order from the JD...

My LX3310 is rated at 5 GPM. Both the sickle bar and auger I bought for a mini ex were rated at 8 to 15. Like I said, the sickle bar works fine but I didn't try the auger. The hose fittings are some oddball sizes but I had them cut off and some JIC fittings installed on the hoses that came with...

Rig a bypass valve to return the unwanted flow to the tank.
