    Old tools - - Neat finds....

    That is an engine combustion testing device and it is capable of testing engine compression by comparing cylinders. That is much newer than the one that I had used back in the late 1960's. Mine was analog, not digital, and a whole lot larger in both height, length, and depth.

    First Diesel tractor coming soon fuel questions

    If the bottle says to add 1 oz to 5 gallons, and if he were to add 2 oz to 5 gallons, you are implying that this might harm his engine? BS in its undiluted form!!!

    Dangers of an Oxygen Cylinder

    Why you should never try to take an oxygen cylinder apart. Also, NEVER EVER use oil on any oxygen cylinder or any oxygen hose fittings!

    Chains?

    Don't forget to back the tractor into the barn, otherwise, you are going to be backing it out over a lot of snow. I learned years ago to back cars into the garage and the same with the tractor.

    Extreme Cold weather operation

    My old BX22 would idle at 600 RPM, and my BX23S idles at 1200 RPM. When I had the BX22, I had a block heater and a blanket covering the hood, and I would start it and start blowing snow at about 1200 RPM, for about 10 minutes until the hydraulic fluid was warmed. Keep in mind that the...

    Kind of a sad cometary

    My wife is working 6 days a week to keep her store going with just one employee. The store is open 7 days a week for the past 49 years. Not certain how long this will go on, but at some point, she wants to retire. Can't sell it because there are no buyers with any money, and there is no way...

    BX snow removal suggestions.

    The spring tensioning bolt on the top of the plow is designed to trip the blade when you hit an object, so the blade doesn't get damaged, and whatever you hit isn't damaged also. If the blade is tripping with a load of snow in front of it, then you need to tighten the bolt, so the spring is...

    BX snow removal suggestions.

    I have watched this video a few times, but it seems that you are spending a lot of time going back and forth moving the snow. I am very familiar with snow pushers, since that is what we used in the parking lot to remove the snow from large areas, and it was a better choice than a snowplow. I...

    What's next? Banning common sense in daily life?

    Six Illinois governors have been charged with crimes during or after their governorships; four were convicted, and of those, one (Blagojevich) was the first to be impeached and removed from office. Seems like there is a very good reason for all of the politicians to get caught. They are both...

    Lug nut reminder

    The most important thing with a torque wrench is to set it back to zero when it isn't in use unless your torque wrench is a beam type that doesn't have settings. Some of the new electronic torque wrenches don't have this as a requirement.

    Ripped Off

    Your Honour, I believe that the witness has given perjured testimony. I move for a dismissal of all posts, with prejudice, and that the defendant be remanded to the local tractor dealership for a competency hearing. LOL🙋‍♂️

    Touch-up Paint, ZD1211 year 2022

    I buy specialty interior paints frequently, and it is usually a custom blended color by the pint. I then have them put it into spray cans for me, so I never pay attention to the pint alone cost. Most times there is a little leftover in the pint can and I take that for small touch-ups. The...

    Snow Blower Shoes

    The shoes that came with my BX2816 are mounted on the reward ward side of the blower, and I had to replace them on a friend's identical snowblower after 2 seasons of blowing snow. The cutting edge at the rear of the blower was also severely worn. The snowblower that I previously had (BX2750)...

    What's next? Banning common sense in daily life?

    My friends in California say that it is the lower half of the state, and particularly LA and SF that have all the crazies congregated together and that the Northern part of the state is still sane. I still have a hard time believing it!

    Are there Northern or Western rednecks? If so, how do they differ from the Southern rednecks?

    Ripped Off

    A few questions that need clarification in the bold and underlined text: 1) when the dealer changed the part and got it running, was that the end of the issue, and then you asked them to remove the part that they installed and reinstalled the "defective" part? 2) You took the tractor home and...
