    Primer Crimp Removal

    I'm in the market for some once fired brass in .223. Much of it comes with a crimped primer that needs to be removed before you can remove the primer. A 5 minute goggle search shows an RCBS tool for $20, but it needs to be run by a $200 prep center that I don't have. I haven't messed with the...

    Shelf Fungus

    Most of the ash trees in my parents yard have shelf fungus. Can it be treated or do they just get cut down as they die

    Receiver question

    The receiver on my Dakota has a closed front. I don't like the design but it is what it is. The design makes it bothersome to get the hitch in the last eighth of an inch or so. I don't think it would hurt anything if I cut a quarter of an inch off the back. Anyone have an opposing view?

    over running clutch on RFM

    There's a John Deere 260 mower for sale locally. It's for the JD 400 series tractors, so it needs 840-850 PTO rpm depending on who you ask. Thinking 3rd gear on my l1500 will be close enough. I don't have live PTO, though. So does a RFM have too much rotating mass to run without live PTO or an...

    Pee filter

    I went to the ER this morning. Ended up being a kidney stone. They gave me a couple of filters to get the stone so that they can analyze it and tell me what not to eat. They gave me 2. This seems like the type of thing I'd rather not reuse. CVS doesn't have them. Would paint filters work?

    Another Subframe Build

    I've been posting on other subframe threads and I suppose it's time to start my own. First pic is the front. Second is the bracket for the towers. Third is the bracket for the towers about where it goes. The last one is the bottom of the transaxle.

    L1500DT FEL Sub-frame pics

    I just bought a Leon 490 FEL that I'm planning on putting on my L1500DT. I'd appreciate any pics that anyone has of their sub-frame, particularly showing how it gets around the front and rear axles.

    Leon 490 FEL

    I found a Leon 490 for sale locally at a good price. From what I can find, it appears to be too big for my L1500, but I can't find any solid information for it. It looks like it is generally on ~25 hp tractors. I haven't measured anything up yet, but it doesn't really look too wide, just a...

    kohler K301 compression release

    late last summer, I bought a JD212 with a kohler K301AQS that has automatic compression release. A brief internet search shows that it runs off the cam. Can I check compression on this thing?

    Truck Clock ?

    I have a 2002 Dakota that I've had for ~10 years. The clock has always gained 7 minutes per year. First week in November, the alternator quit charging after running for 10 minutes or so. It tested bad at Napa, so I replaced it. That's been nearly 2 months and it hasn't gained any time yet. Seems...

    3.50-7 tires

    I've got a late 70's-early 80's Honda FR500 tiller with the factory tires on it. Those tires are getting a little long in the tooth and are dry rotting. I've found wheelbarrow tires in that size, but nothing with substantial lugs on it. I'd like R1's, but a snowblower tire should work fine too...

    Woods loader for L1500

    There's a Woods lc102 for sale locally. I think I need the lc96 but the application chart I found is based on hp without regard for size.

    Brinley plow on 3 point?

    So my L1500 only has 15 hp which I don't consider excessive for a 10-14" one bottom plow. I've seen the garden tractor style plows for a little as $100. Has anyone run these on a 3pt? I'm thinking of just hooking it to the a drawbar that just connects the lift arms, but I'm not sure how I'd...

    Inclines and splash lubed engines

    I bought a JD 212. It has a Kohler in it which I believe to be splashed lubed. It came with a snow thrower, deck, parts deck, and tiller that needs new bearings and tines. My future build site won't have much slope on it, so it should work fine there. I'd like to be able to use it to blow the...

    L1500 pto?

    There's no internal over running clutch on the L1500 PTO is there? I'm thinking about getting a brush mower, but having second thoughts. I can get an external over running clutch, but it makes the PTO stick out further.

    subsoiler on L1500DT

    It appears that my L1500 doesn't have enough ass to pull large tree roots out with a subsoiler. I don't have the rear tires filled, and no weight on the front. Traction and the front wheels coming off the ground seem to be the 2 main issues. I think lift would become a problem if I had weight on...

    5' brush hog on L1500?

    I've been looking for a used brush mower for my L1500. I just missed a 4 footer. There's a 5' one for sale locally, but I'm thinking it's going to be too big. It's pull type, so I don't need to worry about the weight, but it's a lot of mass to get going. I don't have live PTO either, so I can't...

    Loader Swap

    Will a loader subframe from an L185 bolt up to an L1500DT? There's a 2WD L185 for sale locally with a Johnson loader, and I'm wondering if it's worth trying to buy just the loader. The 2 tractors are the same size, so the loader should be the right size. Or is the Johnson loader a POS that I...

    Hiniker box blade

    I bought 4 foot box blade that didn't come with keepers for the scarifiers. It's a Hiniker big ox. I can't find anything on the hiniker website. Wondering if anyone has a link to them or a picture. There are a couple of local dealers I can ask on Monday.

    CCA vs MCA

    I'm looking to replace the battery in my L1500. It has a large battery box in it, so I'm thinking I might be able to fit a deep cycle marine battery in there and still have enough juice to start it. I think I can fit a battery with 750 MCA. According to the interwebz, CCA is sustained amperage...
