    Lug nut reminder

    One other thing to check on. Those that have the adjustable wheel width rear axles. There is a wedge pin that secures the hub to the axle, needs to be torqued to 160 ftlb. Not one or two ugga duggas either. I can usually tell when mine need torquing, they start to click while traveling. They...

    L4060 Rops price check

    I have an L4060 HSTC on order with the la805 and 3 rear remotes, its $44K. Be thankful IF you can get below MSRP on anything these days. If you want a REAL eye opener, go look at used trucks. They are sell above MSRP!!! I ran across a 2020 F150 XLT, they listed it at 56K and has the link to...

    Ouch, and of all people to pass, Betty White, on New Years Eve 3 weeks before she reached 100. RIP Funny lady. Oh that thingamajig pedal depressor picture. When I worked as a mechanic, a midget brought his car in, and it had one for the gas and one for the brake. It was the oddest car I ever...

    Replacement Wireless Router - Netgear

    I actually had to replace my last router because I could NOT do this. My 2n1 Dell laptop does not HAVE an ethernet jack! You should have seen the fun I had when I first got it and tried to set up the wireless and it would not connect. Could not connect because the driver from Windows did not...

    A woman from New York was driving through a remote part of Arizona when her car broke down. An American Indian on horseback came along and offered her a ride to a nearby town. She climbed up behind him on the horse and they rode off. The ride was uneventful, except that every few minutes the...

    Household Appliance Maintenance: Share Your Successes and Failures

    I have heard from a couple coworkers who have had HVAC work done that the owners of the companies are shutting down because they can't find anyone who wants to do the work anymore. Many are at retirement age too, so instead of selling the business, no buyers, they just close doors. After that...

    Is the equipment shortage ending? Probably not, but look at this JD dealer's lot.

    Mahindra doesn't sell anywhere near as well as JD and Kubota in the US, but they are #1 seller word wide. Figure that one out. A lot of the Mahindra tractors around here on dealers lots are several years old, still considered new stock. There is a 2016 cab model I was considering, until I...

    Frustration with waiting on new Kubota order

    With todays market, I can't see any reason a dealer would ask for a deposit considering there are plenty of buyers for limited stock. Only reason I could see for one is to hold it if part of the order IS in stock. I was not asked for a deposit on my order, the tractor is on the lot, but no...

    Cup Holder Advice

    Hmm never would have thought to use stroller accessories on a tractor. My B2410 doesn't have a cup holder, so what I did was clamped one of those car door ones that clip into the window track to the ROPS. Worked OK, but was over my right shoulder. Clamping one of those stroller ones to the...

    Household Appliance Maintenance: Share Your Successes and Failures

    Well, they were right, R12 systems cannot be repaired. Even IF they have access to R12, the EPA outlawed R12. They would have to replace the entire system to convert to the current refrigerant, including the Evaporator and condenser since they are incompatible with the new stuff. What is...

    Frustration with waiting on new Kubota order

    Same boat here. Ordered an L4060HSTC with LA805 and full rear remotes. Tractor is on the lot, loader MIA, remote kits backordered until end of December. I can't even buy the damned thing until the loader arrives because they need the serial number for financing. I can wait on the remotes...

    A fleeing Taliban terrorist, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the mirage, only to find a very frail little old Jewish man standing at a small makeshift display rack - selling ties...

    Possible DEF shortages

    Actually there is some truth to the DEF shortage, however not in the US. What IS in shortage in the US is getting the pee bottles delivered to the stores! Just like everything else, the supply chain is a complete F up. Thankfully my 2012 will never need a drop of it, nor my tractors. Too...

    Cup Holder Advice

    I would look for a tumbler that fits snugly in it. I have the same issue with my F350, the rubber inserts are too tight for just about anything and when you pull the bottle or can out the insert comes with it. Take the insert out and they fall all over the place when driving. I found my...

    Household Appliance Maintenance: Share Your Successes and Failures

    Throw away appliances is a huge reality today. I prefer to repair things myself, but some, such as refrigerators, require special equipment which I don't have, though on my last one I was sorely tempted to spend the money on some. about 8 years ago we bought a French door LG. It broke while...

    Possible DEF shortages

    Nothing burger here. Dakota Gasification makes about 64 million gallons of DEF a year with 1 million gallons of on site storage. Thats just one company in the US. There are about a dozen companies in the US and Mexico/Canada producing DEF. Fear not, the US can survive without chinese...
