    Mincemeat anyone..??

    I got the answer: December 12, 2023 Dear Ralph, Thank you for contacting The J.M. Smucker Co. to inquire about None Such® Mincemeat. Unfortunately, this product did not receive enough support and was discontinued. However, your voice of support is very important to us, and we have let the...

    Mincemeat anyone..??

    I like both and I’ve never lived in a city. The meat type uses venison in my kitchen but the purchased fruits and berries type is great too. I looked and that mince pie filling I’ve used in the past is just not available here in NH either. I sent an inquiry to Smuckers the makers of Ready to Use...

    Bent my key

    Odd. When I bought my used BX1870 it had only one key. I went in to the dealer to get a filter kit, some oil, and to ask about replacing the gage cluster. I mentioned the key to the parts man and he reached below the counter and tossed me a pair with the plastic knobs imprinted KOBOTA and said...

    What Government Mandates Save Lives?

    I ride a 1959 BMWR60. It has no headlight unless you turn it on, that is, no automatic headlight. I can blink it on and off when approaching intersections. I haven't been cut off yet. It may happen but I think the blink is a positive thing. Since the bike is 6 volt and the lights were as bad as...

    Trying to get a ROPS for an L4150

    I used to ship stuff like this by bus, greyhound etc. It was cheap and reliable. They ended service in 2022, alas. I’ve recently heard of a service that uses empty space on trucks. I haven’t tried it yet. Look at...

    can a 6 ft V4290 blade with a quick attach be used on BX1870 tractor

    I agree. I have had 5 or 6 rear blades over my tractor experience. None have failed. All bowed the blade after time due to my use of them to dislodge stumps that were beyond my tractor('s) capability and using the end to pop out rocks. All but this one were on much larger 2 and 4 WD machines...

    can a 6 ft V4290 blade with a quick attach be used on BX1870 tractor

    I have a Tartor 5 ft blade (Country Line) and my BX doesn’t really lift it high enough to avoid dragging it when going through a moderate dip. Mine has a second top link attachment fot a sub-compact tractor too. I’d say dont go larger. Mine is ok in other ways. This would be my first choice at...

    The idea that all those news sources are made up and not including FOX on the list is like the grandmother watching the local band marching by and saying “Oh look everyone is out of step but my granddaughter Foxie.” LOL.

    Sprayer on 3pt hitch

    So my great day with the sprayer turned lousy soon enough. I pulled out of the garage and drove over to the garden hose to put some water in the tank and connect the power cord. Then I switched the pump on....... nothing. I finally found a blown 5 amp fuse and replaced it with a 15 amp...

    Sprayer frame for 3 pt hitch

    I have a few apple trees and spray them with Kaolin Clay Powder mixed into water to drive off the Japanese beetles organically. The 15 gallon sprayer was carried around in a small trailer but recently I decided it needed a dedicated frame for my BX’s 3pt hitch. I mounted the tank longitudinally...

    Daily Chuckle

    Stopped at the deli counter and asked for 3/4 pounds of Black Forest ham sliced thin. The teenaged employee measured out close to .34 pounds! I told her that wasn’t 3/4 pound and she rolled her eyes and said “It isn’t possible to get it exact and it was as close as she could do". I decided I...

    Anyone try a lawn tractor snow cab on their BX?

    Thanks, Yes it fits OK and the modifications allow it to be taken off in 10 minutes with no tools. It’s hung up in the barn ready for snow. I hate to spend money but I also hate being cold and covered with blown snow. The total cost was $360 and probably 2 hours of head scratching to come up...

    Anyone try a lawn tractor snow cab on their BX?

    I got the instal nearly done today by constructing brackets for the frame posts to fit into. In the front I welded a washer to the bottom of a salvaged piece of the frame I didn’t use for each side. I’ll drill a hole through for a cotter pin to keep the wind from lifting the cab there. At the...

    Anyone try a lawn tractor snow cab on their BX?

    I see Husqvarna raised the price on their lawm tractor snow cab about $100. I looked and found a source at last year’s price and ordered one before the new price set in. It arrived a couple days ago. I just got a chance to open it up and test fit it. The overall size is good but the mounting...

    Starlink Question

    I haven’t thought a lot about that. How much is a new 2nd gen? I’d think a used one should be worth close to 2/3 of that with the ethernet adapter? I’d guess that would be about $400? Shipping is so much that if I ship it maybe I could split that with a buyer. One nice feature is I can deliver...
