    Here in MS they opened it up this week for 65 and older. The signup process here is swamped and so over loaded you cant make an appointment. Things are starting to ease up a little though. The national guard is going to the various health departments and giving the vaccines to those that were...

    Shingles

    My son came down with a case of shingles when he was 13. He had chicken pox when he was 4 or 5. I remember he never complained about pain or anything while he had shingles. His biggest complaint was he couldnt go swimming. Hes 33 now.

    PTO clacking

    Maxx, I've had something similar happen with my tiller and BX22. My problem turned out the be my top link pins were worn and the pin hole on my tiller had become somewhat egg shape. New pins and making the top link hole on the tiller round again fixed my issue. It didn't break the bank either...

    Smokers! (Of the cooking variety)

    I"ve had an Oklahoma Joe sidebox smoker going on 23 years. It is heavy built. I've used it for grilling and smoking. The only thing I've had to do is replace the cooking grates. On the ceramic kamodo grills, my wife gave me a medium BGE that I've learned to use. I say 'learned' because there...

    B7300 wont start but I can jump starter and it will run?

    I have a B7300 that does the same thing but on some days it cranks normally. I've checked the grounds, safety switches and installed a relay but sometimes I have to do exactly what you're doing. Some times I can work the High/Low range lever back and fourth and get it to spin and crank. I'm as...

    The wife has been hankering some red beans and rice. She was out of town this weekend so I made a Sunday while watching the race. We will dig in to it when she gets home this evening.

    BX23S Shims = More Pressure - Better/Worse?

    I shimmed my 18 year old BX22 to a tick over 2000 six years ago and havent seen any bad issues yet. The only thing I'll say is if you shim it you'll find the weak spots in the plumbing ie: hoses, cylinder seals and whatnot. Since shimming mine i've replaced almost all hoses on the FEL and BH and...

    Well this sucks

    I have had a natural gas Generac 8000kw standby unit on my house for 20 years. Its not the quietest nor do I ask it to run the entire house. It is a no frills, no bells and whistles unit. The Auto transfer switch is General as well. Only twice in those 20 years has it ever failed to start, run...

    Dead horse

    I'm with Skeets on this. Skeets may remember how I came to own the tractor. Would I like a bigger tractor? Of course I would. Is bigger always better? The way I see it, it depends on operator and task at hand. I acquired a BX22 with 1452 hours on the clock 7 years ago, use it on 7.5 acres...

    Any Steam RR Fans Here?

    One of the sounds I remember most from when I was young is the Federal Cotton Compress it was located down by the tracts. Back when cotton was king the compress ran 24x7 pressing cotton bales until the end of the cotton harvest. The compress was steam operated and every time the bales were...

    Any Steam RR Fans Here?

    I'm not a RR enthusiast but my grandfather was an engineer with Illinois Central RR. I have a photo him bringing the Panama Limited through Jackson, MS leaning out of the locomotive cab waving. He and Casey Jones were friends.

    BX2680 PTO driven Post Hole Digger questions

    I've got a BX22 and it runs the hole digger just fine. You just have to dig, raise and clean, dig, raise and clean often. You'll only screw it in the ground and unscrew it out of the ground once or twice before you'll get the hang of it. I promise its better than the old fashioned hole diggers...

    udt versus udt2

    No intentions of hijacking this thread but this seems like a good time to ask......If a tractor with an FEL and BH has always run UDT and gets SUDT or SUDT2 at its next service of the hydraulic system will the UDT that remains in the cylinders of the FEL and BH or any other hydraulic implement...

    Our President has Covid

    A number of people I know and work with have had it. It affected all of them differently. One a totally healthy strapping man in his 40s damn near died and lost 30 in two weeks. Another was a morbidly obese female with MS, diabetic and other health issues and she sailed through it with only a...

    Essential Tractoring Tools

    Neither one is much but they're in my pocket 24x7x365 no matter where I go or how I'm dressed. Those little pliers have saved me countless steps. All tractors have have a hammer, crescent wrench, channel locks and/or robo grip pliers.
