    Extra Security Protection

    Leave the key in it as bait, and turn the PTO on. That seems to "stump" a lot of people. 😂 😂

    Damaged SSQA plate, good lesson learned

    Suns that go 'Supernova' are only pretty when looked at through a telescope. 😂 I was going to get 2 W's tattooed on my butt cheeks. That way when I mooned people it would read "WoW" But I was turned off at the thought that if I turned over it would say "MoM".🍸;)

    Everything Attachments - Bankrupt?

    Thanks for posting that. I feel much better about my welds now! (y) 😂

    Making an outboard engine stand from old, nasty H-beams.

    Wow, that's a "BEAST" Very good use of "scrap" materials. Thanks for posting. What do you think it weighs? Also, do you remove your outboard often? (I'm jealous of the Mag-Drill BTW) (y)

    LX3310 HSD 50 Hour Maintenance Disaster

    Wow that's quite the adventure. Have that guy fix it with a Heli-coil and see if he will "show you" how to do it. Its not very hard, and it's a great skill to have. I have used hundreds (possibly thousands) of them and they work great. I have no working knowledge of the part you are talking...

    L4802 vs MX5400

    I can't comment (intelligently) on the actual differences, but I would most likely choose the MX. I can comment on "turbos in general". I have had 2 Cummins engines and a Volkswagen TDI. With a combined total of about 700,000 miles I have never had a turbo related problem. Use a good quality...

    Converting to Quick hitch

    First thing that came to my head was... Weld a plate on each side like this. You might have to put a "jog" or "step" (middle vertical line) in it to account for the thickness of the vertical part. Be sure to go back on that trailing piece a few inches. Then cut out the bottom plate that is...

    SSQA for BX Series (BX2370 Skid Steer Quick Attach)

    I'm betting that the "stick controls" are there because the foot area is pretty crowded on HST models. That would be my guess anyway.

    SSQA for BX Series (BX2370 Skid Steer Quick Attach)

    Sounds like a worthy project to me. Since there seems to be a decent amount of options, The hardest part is probably going to be evaluating the "Quality V Cost" thing. Don't forget to take pics as you go. (y)

    Backhoe control bracket cracked into

    Nice job! I love having a welder. It's right up there at the top of my "Most Favorite Tools" list. The overlay plate sounds like a good idea too.(y)

    How are borders controlled on a body of water?

    Threats of cavity searches are no joke, and the thought of one made my ass pucker so hard, that you couldn't have gotten a needle up my ass with a jackhammer. 😂 The night shift Border Fuzz are very uptight, so keep your “pie hole” shut, but the dayshift guys have a sense of humor. Do not carry...

    Hello fellow kubota tractor owners

    Sorry I can't help you, but you will probably get a better response if you post this in a "more appropriate" section like " Service, Repair and Maintenance" Vs. "Site News" (y)

    Using glow plugs or not using

    Yes sir. (y) I do not actively use the GP on the General Lee when its warm'ish out. (above 65'ish?) My Cummins does not even have the option to use it when it's warm out. I have to turn the key to the "on" position and look at the dash, then computer auto-magically senses the temp and...

    How are borders controlled on a body of water?

    True Story: So, there we are about 15 miles offshore,120 miles from home, in Erieau Canada and we are hammering the Walleye. I am sorting through the live well, weighing the fish, and keeping the fattest ones for the tourney weigh in. At one point we had 4 fish on at the same time …..Awesome...

    How are borders controlled on a body of water?

    True Story: Circa 1998 I used to fish the amateur “Walleye Circuit” in Canada. Well one weekend, I could not “pre-fish” with my buddy, so I had to get up at O-Dark thirty to meet him in time for the start of the tournament. I get to the border ~0200 and she (customs officer) ask’s me...
