    Plasma Cutter

    https://weldguru.com/lotos-ltp5000d-plasma-cutter-review/ A lot of complaints are of a poor ground. Here is the one I chose based on reviews. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09L3Y3ZLF/ref=twister_B09Y23CG49?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Costs just a few dollars more than the Lotos with the 15% off...

    Fuel prices

    went up .15 overnight here. There is an .80 spread between stations just over the border in WI and stations near me. $4.39 - $5.19. Now there is a Diesel shortage. How quickly our country has fallen from being energy independent in 2020 to having stations with empty tanks in 2022.

    Plasma Cutter

    Well, I did some research and found out the Hobart 12ci was only rated at 12 amps. I probably overloaded it cutting that PTO shaft. I looked at reviews on the Titanium from Harbor Freight and while the pros were good, the cons were a turn off for that price point. An alternate unit the reviewer...

    Plasma Cutter

    Harbor Freight? After having the mainboard fry in the Hobart and find out it is 3 times the price for a board as the entire machine costs, I am very reluctant to get another one, even if it is less than I originally paid and has the new gun on it. I sort of recall seeing a comparison on...

    Plasma Cutter

    10 years ago I bought a Hobart 12ci. I used it maybe a dozen times, and kept it stored on a shelf in my shop so it still looks like I just pulled it out of the box. I put it to good use the past few weeks working on things like making the Equal angle hitch for the mower, and a few other...

    Vaccination opinions wanted...

    Mid 70's-early 80's I think. Smallpox was eradicated by then so no longer required to be immunized against it. My wife was born in 75 and did not get the smallpox vaccine. I was in 6th grade at that time. I think I got the shot in third grade, I remember heading down to the auditorium at my...

    Some of you may remember my Post about my B2601 breaking in half!

    If power steering is failing, I think you solved your problem. The pump is bad. According to the diagrams I posted above, power steering is supplied by an engine driven pump that is inline with the power beyond pump that drives the FEL and 3PH. The power steering pump also supplies pressure...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Well, First use of the JD 1209 MoCo. I spent a good 6 hours putting the new sickle bar and parts in, and finally hooked it up to the tractro. Worked really good considering I only paid $1600 for it. It needed a new PTo, but I knew that when I bought it, and had to make an equal angle hitch for...

    Vaccination opinions wanted...

    Treatment for Monkeypox is the smallpox vaccine. I guess us old farts over 55 don't have to worry since we got vaccinated for smallpox. Heard there were a few cases in Wisconsin already too.

    Out of cab PTO use L4060 LE

    Agreed. The shipping can be an issue with some stuff, but if they have it in stock and local takes more than a week, sometimes it's worth the cost of shipping to get it sooner.

    Follow the troubleshooting in the manual. I dug up the manual and looked at the diagram. I see where the HST gets its oil from now. Makes more sense what the poster above indicated RE the PTO and charge pressure. 14 is the power steering pump, which pressure not used by power...

    Processing Firewood the Professional Redneck Way

    My saw has bucking teeth to keep logs from rolling, maybe that what the op has too. I still have piles of trees to cut up and split and chip. Running out of room to stack the wood!

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Thats next on my list, 4x4 anchored with concrete. I don't think the bucket and chain thing will work for me, the posts would snap before the concrete came out, so backhoe time. I need them out of the way so I can mow and bale.

    Yes, I believe that either it was misadjusted, if they can even be adjusted, or bad. Could have a weak or broken relief spring. 060 and 120 are the relief valve components.

    Thats what I thought. Going to get the switch ordered. I would from Messicks, but my local dealer is the same price without added shipping.

    What does everyone collect or do for a hobby?

    I almost bought a boat couple years ago. Saw it on FB marketplace and it was in the town I work. $600 with a Chevy engine. The trailer alone was worth the $600. Only reason I chose not to, TIME!!! Too many projects too little time. Struggling now as it is trying to get all the hay equipment...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Well, I didn't do anything with or to the tractors today, but I did finish up rebuilding the sprayer. I put two new tires and tubes on, then put the mount for the spray bar on and drilled a hole in one of the new tires. Can you say dumbass? Pulled the tire and patched the holes. Now to...

    What type of motor oil?

    I was looking for 3 gallons and a quart for the change on my 6.7 Powerstroke. All the Rotella was either T5 or 15w40, neither of which my engine uses. Went to Walmart to get oil for my F150 because they carry both the Motorcraft filter and the 5w30 Motorcraft oil. What do I see sitting on the...
