    Mice

    Barn cat. My neighbor has a few "outside cats" that I feed a little to keep them coming around. It's fun to sit there with an adult beverage, and watch them hunt. Although my favorite is the chickens.....I get a real kick out of feeding them for some reason.... I crack up when they...

    Advice for new tractor

    I like my 2501 for many reasons. For me, it is the "Goldilocks" of tractors for my situation. Big enough to handle some decent work, yet small enough for my property. (only 5 acres...although I agree with @rc51stierhoff , the jobs should dictate the machine size not the property) I also like...

    L2501TSC 48 inch Box Blade or no?

    I concur with the above statements. I have a 60" Homestead Pinnacle BB and the General Lee has no problem with it. As a matter of fact, a 48" wouldn't even cover the tracks I don't think?

    Engine warning light

    If you suspect a wiring problem, I would suggest trying the "wiggle method" to try and locate the problem. It's cheap and fast. Just start it and begin "wiggling wires" until it stalls, then try to duplicate it a few times if you find a "suspect area" Only works about 2% of the time, but like...

    Why cant I seen to find just a complete set of 1/2 inch sockets

    Depends on how big your "bank is" I guess. https://shop.snapon.com/product/Shallow,-inches,-Chrome-(1-2")/13-pc-1-2"-Drive-6-Point-SAE-Flank-Drive-Shallow-Socket-Set-(3/8-1-1/8")/313TWYA What pisses me off most is if you lose a socket/wrench with the "value brands" you may as well buy an...

    Battery powered fuel transfer pump?

    I have not followed this thread closely, but I have one of these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019ZD3U90/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 I'll just say that "it works" and is more convenient/easier than a 5 gallon can, but I will say that that I must have mounted it a...

    I just bought my first tractor!

    +1 on this....I had a hell of a time monitoring the level, between K's crappy positioning of the sight glass and the "clear'ness" of the fluid it was tough. The sight glass is still in a crappy spot, but now it's easily read. I have also heard that "over filling" you hydraulic fluid is not...

    Seat Safety Switch Bypass

    @North Idaho Wolfman ......OOOO....Illl play, Ill play.... I hate to state the obvious, but since its a mechanical switch, It won't be that hard to figure out how to depress the button.

    BX Fixed lift 3PH

    If you have young kids/grandkids running around you might want to be cautious if keeping it in the air when not running. Love the idea though (y) (y) (y)

    B7100 Low Compression

    Oh, I see. If it's just for the sake of "doing it" then cool!!!! I thought you were "worried" about it. And I agree, speaking as a Marine, thats one show I can not watch.;) I would much rather be diving into a diesel engine. Carry on sir!!! 🥃

    B7100 Low Compression

    I'm with @Mark_BX25D If my 40'ish year old "diesel" tractor ran, I could put up with a lot of "smoke". My personal belief, is this is a "solution in need of a problem" type of scenario. Is it possible that it has been smoking like that since 1985? I had a 1977 Buick Regal that I had to carry...

    Is Everything Attachments open again?

    I was happy with my Homestead Pinnacle series box blade and they make grapples too, but they still have the "pay, then wait" program going on. However; they are claiming only a 3 to 4 week wait, so you would be well within the "Credit card cancelation" window. They also give a 10% veteran...

    Tach Replacements

    Although I have no first hand knowledge, I think there are tachometers that run off the alternator that you can use. Obviously the standard, "ignition fired" ones will not work. This one "claims" to work on diesels...

    Kubota udt alternative

    I would classify it as "mildly interesting" yes, but since I have no "first hand" knowledge, or actual "proof", so I don't get all "wrapped around the axle" about it. I know Mobil oil is better than Crisco, but is Mobil better than Kubota or Amsoil? I haven't a clue. I use Wally World full...
