    Tractor stuck

    Get yourself a come-a-long or cable puller. I've unstuck many a 8000 lb truck with them. All you need is something to hook to, and enough common sense, to not dig yourself in too deep...:D:D

    Yard leveling

    Actually if you are gonna use Roundup, to burn out a lawn, do it when the grass is a little tall. RU is absorbed by only the leaves, and if you have cut most off, you don't get a good even kill...:D:D

    Pallet-box for pickup bed?

    The first round baler was made by Allis Chalmers, back in the 40's, came from a farmer who invented it back in 1910. It was the basis for all those that followed. Although the bale was small, about 100 lbs, 36" by up to 25" in diameter, it could be left out in the field, for later removal, or...

    Thanks for the clogged transmission vent tip

    Had the same problem, on my L-185, damned hole spiders would stuff the vent tube up, every year. Solved the problem entirely, by drilling the PTO shifter cover, tapping and installing one of these: http://www.surpluscenter.com/Brands/Prince-Mfg/1-8-NPT-BRONZE-BREATHER-9-4195-2.axd :D:D

    Yard leveling

    NIW, actually Roundup is a pretty good way to help in the grading process. It kills the sod, making the roots easier to pull up and redistribute. Roundup only kills what it touches, and has no soil residue problems.:D:D

    Yard leveling

    Depending on how rough it is, I'd start out with a cultivator, and finish with a box scraper, or a rear blade. That is fine for most that own a wheel tractor. Me, I'd use tooth bucket, then landscape box then harley rake, all powered by my ASV RC 30...:D:D

    RC60-71B Mower Deck Tensioner Not Taking Grease

    I'd take the fitting off, pick out and dried grease, fill as full as possible, with Kroil, and then try lubing with one of these on the grease gun: https://youtu.be/A5uccLIC99w Its the best $30 you can spend. Even if this particular fitting/part is fried, usually the locknlube gets the grease...

    I think the steepest I have operated my L2202 with steel wheel weights off of a 140 farmall, is somewhere around 30 degrees, IIRR. I think I posted it on here, in another thread, last summer. This was taken with the HF angle gauge, FWIW. A lot is going to depend on your comfort factor in...
