    What loose bolt is this on my L175 valve cover?

    Don't think you'll lose much oil from the top of the bolts. Might need to snug them down a couple degrees of a turn if the valve cover gasket is letting oil past, but if you don't have oil slobbering on the engine, you're fine.

    COVID-19 Stuff

    What can we take away from this virus self isolating behavior? Maybe a few will learn the value of simply staying at home more. Spending less time and money running to eat, less on daycare, that you don't have to travel and spend time away from home to survive. One parent looks after the kids...

    Septic System

    John, sounds like you have a REAL professional pumper and inspector and state required maintenance program. Around here the pumpers are often someone you really don't want on your property. Dirty unkempt truck and operators who try to tell you one price then find something (usually BS) they...

    Hydro fluid change

    Yep, it hurts when we checkout at the parts counter, but it doesn't seem to bother folks when they purchase pizza, beer, cookies, ice cream and various other goodies on a regular basis! If folks kept a 3x5 card in their pocket and wrote down every penny they spent throughout the day, they'd be...

    Sudden death of White Oak?

    In Colorado when the pine trees were being destroyed by nematodes, the forestry guys would cut the trees down and lay the wood in rows (like a bunch of long fence post). They then covered the entire pile with black poly, then sealed the edges with dirt. It cooked the beetles, and the wood was...

    New to diesel -- what don't I know?

    Bob, on your tractor in weather like we're having now, when you turn the key to the ON position the GP light will light up, but it will be out before you know what it is unless you're looking at it and for it!! Your tractor has sensors that tell IT how long to have the GP's on. So, just turn...

    CHAZ/CHOP

    Renaming streets becomes a very expensive ordeal. The city (taxpayers) pay for the new signs, and installation cost. The businesses on the street need new stationary, business cards, etc. A real PITA.

    Canopy?

    If you make one out of thin metal I have some of the edge trim in a large roll. Can cut a piece long enough to around the entire canopy. It looks similar to this, and will keep you head scar free!!

    Grapple Mount For Trailer

    Looks nice. It appears the horizontal angle welded at an angle forces the grapple to pretty much lock in place. I might consider a gusset or external support of some kind on the outside of the upright channels to the front corner of the trailer. If those uprights would ever deflect just a...

    CHAZ/CHOP

    I saw where Planned Parenthood is removing the name of their founder because of her views on eugenics. It amazes me BLM protesters never get riled over someone like her. They want to remove any statue that represents our history, especially anyone they think is related to slavery. Yet this...

    COVID-19 Stuff

    This whole virus situation is amazing. Is Covid 19 a weapon or something that was designed in Wuhan and escaped due to negligence? We will probable never know for certain. I find it extremely unusual the Chinese government reported at one time the lab it originated in Wuhan. Early on they...

    Didn't the Fed government kick in $600 a week in addition to state unemployment? I know a guy who called his work, and when they apologized for not getting him back to work (this was a few weeks ago) that they were calling back a couple each week. He said don't worry call me in last. He said...

    Rollover! Bucket arms or mounts bent. Looking for advice

    Geo. I'm guessing with your ideas of never put yourself/others at ANY risk you stop and scold parents who ride their lawnmower with a child on their lap. You never took a risk in your life, so you probably never jump started a vehicle 'cause it may cause the battery to explode, or air up a...

    NHSleddog, appreciate the info. I did some checking trying to find a seller, and found various comments. USA Today and a story a couple of days ago. Near the end their summary of the writing on the box is: " Our rating: Partly false The claim that nonrespirator ear loop masks are ineffective...

    A death cult ?

    Here's another view. https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/13/politics/beto-orourke-guns-debate/index.html Here's part of it. For decades, the National Rifle Association -- and its Republican allies in Congress and now in the White House -- have used the idea of confiscation to win the gun debate. If...
