    Paging Dr. Hackenslash.....Paging Dr. Hackenslash.......

    I worked at one of the OEMs doing HVAC and cooling development. They issued a TSB for this issue. The fix is a special cooling fan clutch. The plow would create air currents such that the disengaged fan would spin backwards or not at all. The clutch oil would pump out of the labyrinth causing no...

    Exotic invasive plants, and what to do about them

    I have an annual battle with multifloura rose, blackberry, bush honeysuckle, autumn olive, Japanese honeysuckle, tree of heaven, poison ivy, and several other thorny bushes that don't belong here. I buy concentrated triclopyr from TSC. It works better that glyphoshate for these tough plants...

    Air Conditioning tests on L5030

    I am assuming that Kubota uses TXVs to control evaporator pressures since there is a sight glass. If properly charged, the evaporator outlet temperature should be slightly warmer (still cool) than the evaporator inlet. If there is a large difference between evap inlet and outlet (outlet line...

    Red-Tailed Hawk's Nest

    The other day, a coopers hawk flew into the pole barn rafters and couldn't figure out how to exit. It was a handsome bird, looked like a big parakeet. The cats were intent on having him for lunch and were in the rafters stalking him. I tried to shoo him out, but he couldn't figure out the exit...

    More snowblower issues

    Doesn't seem to be any downside risk in trying to hammer our the shape of the impeller. You will need to eliminate most of the vibration due to imbalance or other components might break. If you fail, then get a new one. Is the housing bent as well? Should maintain a consistent gap between...

    Firearms and hunter safety training should be taught in the schools in order to prevent other Baldwin's from getting out there.

    L3902 - Implement Limits for Harrows

    If you get a width to cover the width of your tires, maybe some more, you should be good to go. Probably should run it in 4WD with loader attached. Updated: Looks like you need the 152 model.

    I want to be a Weatherman - licks finger and holds it up

    We were supposed to get 3-6" between yesterday and tomorrow here. There was about 4" of slush this morning and the temperature is in the mid-40s. The wife and I stopped and ate at Mansfield, OH last night. We were in Cleveland and decided to go home early and beat the storm.

    Buying a UTV

    I worked at an auto company that went to CVTs in all but pickup trucks. This was for fuel economy . The initial tuning wasn't good (engine screaming , but poor acceleration) but that was corrected. A lot of Customers hated the CVT (snowmobile feel) transmission, so the company programmed fake...

    In Cab condensation issues

    Check airflow amount. If filter is clogged, the condition could force the intake from fresh to recirc . The air intake needs to be in fresh. Not sure if cab tractors turn on the A/C or not when heating or defrosting. Cars and trucks do this to dry out the intake air before heating it up. If all...

    Just the beginning, like it or not

    Another take in this new "active safety" device. https://www.motorious.com/articles/features-3/kill-switches-new-cars/ I worked with some Powertrain Calibrators in the mid 1990s on cold weather issues. They mentioned that the DOT asked the company to investigate the feasibility of adding remote...

    I believe that this is one of the goodies contained in the recent Infrastructure Bill. Conspiracy fact. https://www.technocracy.news/vehicle-kill-switches-now-mandated-in-new-cars-by-2026/
