    Always did the same thing. As a little kid, my father and grandfather both told me to make everything real "wide" so folks couldn't get around. I was driving a small tractor with a load of hay behind it....couldn't see behind me. Swinging over the center was the only way to know.... I was...

    Delco Remy Starter Restoration - - 1953 Minneapolis Moline, and many others.....

    Haven't had much time to work on it, but we're getting there. More paper on the shaft....still had some ripples. You can still see some marks, but it's smooth to the touch. Will probably lube it with the Lithium grease before Bendix goes on. One of the through-bolts that hold the...

    WOW I get tax money from Canada

    Hey skeets - - you always talk about that boating accident when you lost the weapon(s)....I know you used to fish in the GWN. I'm sure you reported it at the time. Hehehe. Maybe Canada is trying to pay you a redemption...😊

    3 point backhoe

    20+ years ago a buddy busted the rear case of his new JD 4xxx tractor by using the backhoe he bought with it. I wish I remember if 3PH or sub-frame mount. Long before I had any knowledge of the difference..... But thinking back, the cracks I saw were in the area of the top link mount and...

    I wish everyone would have that much discretion. When behind a tractor, I always look ahead on the road for barns, driveways, tractor paths, etc. that tractor might want to turn into. I also stay WAY back.... I'm sure I piss some drivers off that are behind me. I was a little kid driving...

    So glad everyone’s okay. I know a person that did the same maneuver on his motorcycle, while his wife was on with him. Passing a tractor with manure spreader. Don’t know all details, beyond the the loader took the bike out when the tractor turned left. He was pretty banged up. Wife didn’t make...

    Awesome dogs / Crazy pets Thread

    Our kids in California have a rabbit. Neat little cuss; met her a couple years ago. Early each morning, I'd walk to a local grocery store and get a coffee, plus a little bunch of fresh cilantro for her. After a couple days she caught on and would look for me to come back. She liked me a...

    Awesome dogs / Crazy pets Thread

    About the time of the COVID shutdown, our kids in Philly "fostered" an adult dog from a nearby shelter. Well, "fostering" didn't last long. He's theirs now, and getting along just fine.... He's a Pit Bull mix about 4-5 years old, and was very underweight along with some other minor health...

    Propane Grill Recommendations?

    A new grill will be much less than that! Just pokin' fun to make sure Flip won't show up, after his comment to skeets about propane.... I saw a $12,000 grill I wanted to link, but realized it also could do wood or charcoal in addtion to propane.....don't want to chance anything...... :oops...

    Broke The Curl on my L4200 with LA680

    Sounds like less than 50% of new complete cylinders, so definitely a good deal! Welcome to OTT.

    Propane Grill Recommendations?

    Wow - interesting conversation.....:unsure: We should clear something up about common outdoor cooking terminologies. The terms just get confused sometimes. Just a copy/paste I found on the interwebs: "grilling means cooking over a fire, hot and fast. Barbecue means low and slow, and smoking...

    What torque wrench needed.

    I have a couple Harbor Freights and a Craftsman too. Like you said, thought the Craftsman was a decent value. Seems better made than the HF. If I were torqueing an engine re-build, not sure I would trust any of them, but they work for what I'm doing.

    No, remember that was the boating accident.....keep up there, T. 😊 Seriously Skeets, you will like those in the garage...I put 7 in my 2-car. Just amazing how it changes things....

    Replaced solenoid and still won't start

    I missed this point before....just highlighting it so others don't miss it. I've typically known a seat switch to cause a shut-down or a no-crank, not a no-shut down problem....maybe that's a potential culprit, or the wiring connection to the culprit.... Again - more analysis required before...

    Replaced solenoid and still won't start

    Take this all with a grain of salt....I know absolutely ZERO about zero turn mowers... :oops: I'm not joking there...never even been near one. We'll try to get some very basic questions/problems answered. First for guys/gals smarter than me, exactly what model is your mower? How old is it, #...

    Air in fuel lines question

    I think what happens sometimes is that while running the tractor out of fuel, a whole lot of crap in the tank can get into the fuel system that wouldn't otherwise get there. Causes filter, lift pump, injector, etc. problems beyond the air introduced. The obvious solution is to bleed...
