Anybody know the sizes of the two banjo connections for the power beyond tube on a LX3310? I am planning a home brew third function and I need to figure out adaptor sizes for those connections. Push come to shove I will pull the tube and measure but if someone already has the info that would...

Picked this up off FB for $500. I gave the lady an extra $50 for bringing it to my house since she was 2.5 hours away from me. She was passing by my way anyway so it worked for both of us. These are supposedly made by Amish but I can't really find much detail online abut them. I did find one on...

I filled all my panels with the thin bubble wrap type insulation a few years back and got the same results. The stuff weighed nothing but I still had to add some tension on the springs. I tried to order a new insulated door back in covid when one of the springs broke and that turned out to be...

All of the dial indicators I have ever used with an adjustable contact point had a detent you just had to push hard enough to overcome. Apparently some of the Mitutoyo units have a clutch lever on the side you need to push for adjustment...

I have also had some luck pulling a drag behind my tiller. The right side of this photo was done without the drag attached.

A tiller and drag work great but you have to get it down to dirt. The last time I did a significant area I had to use my lawn sweeper to get all the tilled up grass out before the drag would work. With the grass still in the mix it would bunch up and drag ruts in the freshly tilled ground. I...

I would say your property is not a good candidate for a regular finish mower. You might want to get that one with the swinging blades. Even at that those blades will take a beating on a rock.

Not used any parts on my Kubota AC but I have used aftermarket parts on my cars and backhoe without any problems.

Ideally not more than 30 psi on the low side or 250 PSI on the high. Results can vary depending on humidity and other conditions. When the compressor clutch turns off the pressures will begin to equalize.

I would evacuate, vacuum, and recharge with the correct amount of refrigerant to start.

Those look good. Free and cheap barbell weights are hard to beat. I have a 120 lbs on a scraper bade and 300 lbs on my box blade. The only set I paid for was $40 and included the weight bench I sold for $30. I still have left over weights and bars and one bench laying around in the barn. The...

My LX3310 has instructions for reading and clearing codes on the dash display in the service manual. Not sure if your model does but you might want to get hold of a manual for it.

The manual reads it has a 120 watt capacity and mine is on a 15 amp fuse from the factory.

Congrats on the new mower. Good job on the shine up! My granny always said "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear". ;) Several companies make a 5 blade finish mower in the 90 inch range. Caroni, Agmate, etc. That would be my first choice over an 8 foot 3 blade. I bought my little...

The LX3310 cab has a T type 2 pin connector behind the seat on the cup holder side. It is power on all the time and rated for 10 amps. Amazon has compatible housings and terminals. They require a Delphi style crimper for proper installation.
