Any one here ever have their oil tested by someone like Blackstone laboratories? If so, what oil do you run and what was the conclusion? I had my Yamaha FJR1300 oil tested just out of curiosity. I have been running Dino oil in mine for 40,000 miles. A friend bought the same bike and couldn’t...

Here’s a good one for you. My girlfriends 26 year old son hasn’t worked since sept 2019. Covid hit right before he was “supposed” to be going to work with the pipe fitters Union. They weren't calling anyone out at the time so he filed for unemployment, he had quit his last job. Started drawing...

One of my best friends works for a particular federal agency. He told me 10 years ago that some type of craft were coming and going out of our air space making maneuvers at speeds we can’t reproduce and they had no idea what they are. He isn’t the type to lie or make things up. I used to believe...

I went back and forth with this one. I’m self employed and can say that I lost revenue due to the shut down. So in the end I did reach out to my bank, they weren’t as helpful as I thought they would be, long story. The laundry list of items they wanted was vast. including info from 2019 when I...

Would your tractor do it, I’d say yes. But as others have said, I would be concerned with tire punctures. My neighbor had an old farm house, she is about a half mile away. The cities volunteer fire department burned it down at night. It was an awesome sight too see. That baby was gone in no time!!

No stimulus here either, I had filed an extension for my LLC and didn’t have the proper info needed when I called my bank about it. 2020 was my first full year of self employment. A friend met with a few local bankers about this and he brought it up too me, they we’re practically begging him...

when I first starting coming here after buying my L3800, however long ago that was, it wasn’t like this. It was pretty calm. It’s pissy as hell in here anymore. I suppose I have a choice not to come I here, just like the OP doesn’t have to buy from a company who’s policies he doesn’t agree with.

If I’m following correctly bushing will do nothing for your cat 1 top link. The bushing is only needed in order to make the pins fit properly if you buy a longer cat 2 top link. The bushings are a sleeve over your cat 1 pins to make them compatible with the cat2 link. Cat1 and cat2 have...

I haven’t read through all the responses so,, With my QH it’s really a pain to connect the pto to the tractor. I go ahead attach my pto shaft to the tractor and use a piece of wire to hang it from the QH, then attach it to the implement after the tractor and implement are hooked up. Probably...

I put my brush mower on something like a block or piece of wood in the front so I’m not having to lower the arms all the way down.

Is there down ward pressure on your lift arms? There’s a point that takes the pressure off and let’s them move freely too a point. On mine there’s very little room to work and move the arms past the mower pins. Once you get them off invest in A quick hitch if you plan on taking implements on...

No pics but I modified an electric seeder that was made for an ATV. It has a plastic hopper. I used the plug under the fender of my L3800 to power it. It attaches to the top of my quick hitch and the switch slides into the orange triangle holder. I put another triangle on the hopper itself. The...

I donated blood a couple months ago and now I get calls from a “potential spam” number only to have the red cross leave me a message. I assume it’s them and they’re about to wear me out. My old bosses number was almost identical too a doctors office. It got to the point where he changed his...

Cool thread, I’ll be keeping up with it as well. Are you staking each pepper plant? I mostly use the square foot gardening technique these days but years back I used the Florida basket weave to hold up my peppers, tomatoes and eggplants. I also built a “hiller” not sure what it’s really called...

I need to check and see my shaft cover flips up. Although, I don’t really have much issue hooking it up. I use a quick hitch and normally I’ll hook up the shaft and hang it from the QH before I back into the implement. It makes it way easier on all fronts. My old JD doesn’t have one and we never...

That’s a really sharp truck!

ill keep that in mind when it’s time to update mine, seat comfort is very important.

that’s a very nice looking truck Darren. Are those tow mirrors or do they just look like it from the pic. I too like chrome on my truck, not a fan of the “black out” look that seems too be popular these days. I’m not super brand loyal but in oct of 19 I bought a 17 F150 crew cab. Sticker shock...

I hate those dang tees. Stepped on a couple thorns over the years. As You’ve read I’m not sure there’s a good options here. At the least, I would fill the front tires with sealant, it will be difficult not to puncture one. Probably not the option you’re looking for with a new tractor but you...

$100 was the going rate “back in the day”. I’d say if the neighbors aren’t hurting for money I would charge them $100. If they’re selling the tractor due to needing the money I’d charge them much less. Again, it would depend on their expectations. Your sons time is valuable, even if he doesn’t...
