Jimmy, I turn 62 tomorrow and my approach to fixing things comes from my father who was a young child growing up on an IL farm during the Great Depression. I learned mechanical and electrical repair from him as a young child and more importantly his belief in repairing rather than discarding...

Just hanging out at 45 feet testing the fit of my new tower climb harness before doing some antenna maintenance later this summer :)

I know what you mean about shifting getting old AND there is no way anyone can out shift a well designed modern electronically controlled automatic. I briefly considered a manual for my 2016 Corvette but chose the auto instead. Shifting faster/better than a modern automatic is like trying to...

I bought several tape meaures at Harbor Freight years ago and left them strategically placed in the garages, barn, workshop, etc. so when I can't find my good ones at least I have those which work just fine. I did have tools that practically developed legs to walk away. I tamed a feral male...

Glad you found the problem and got it resolved MILES! I have had two sudden battery failures, both in cars during the summer. No symptoms, no slow crank, etc. Both started fine in the morning but left me stranded later that day with no restart. A friend has a smaller 400 series Deere garden...

This is my favorite generation ever of the Camaro, nice aerodynamic styling with a platform that handles very well. They did a great job with interior design with a European influenced functional style instead of the techno glitz that is the style of so many current vehicles. It is a beauty...

Ridelght, Sounds like a beauty with that color combo and a convertible! I can see how it would be hard to resist along with that new car smell :) This was my 2016 Z06 at and exiting the NCM after delivery. My daughter (then 12) got to ride out of the museum in it while I watched because the...

Unfortunately, headlight fluid is on indefinite backorder due to supply chain issues but the good news is muffler bearings, both sealed and greaseable, are back in stock for immediate installation. Of course the new muffler bearings will require a proper break-in period along with an engine...

Hi Ridelight, My 2021 Camaro is a RS with 3LT trim, most other options, and the 3.6 V6. I bought it as a daily driver to replace the Cadillac ATS my daughter is using so I wanted something that used 87 octane and sipped fuel. You will love the SS! I have the LT4 (supercharged version of the...

The M-M act provides pretty good protection for using aftermarket parts as long as they meet the standards/specifications of the OEM. It has had a long history of peaks and lulls in its enforcement against manufacturers. It was seriously perverted in recent years by the specialty performance...

jkrubi12, You are very welcome! I don't know of any youtube links offhand but I will take a look this weekend to see if anything looks useful. A circuit diagram of a tractor or anything else can look overwhelming when you first look at it but when you "make the connection" that the system...

Jimmy, If you have a decent schematic for the machine and a simple digital or analog meter that will measure resistance and DC voltage, you can learn to troubleshoot most electrical issues pretty easily. It can become more difficult for the newer and more complex tractors with an engine and...

Thanks for the detailed and labeled photo, I pictured it as being like this but the photo makes it clear. The problems with that setup are pretty obvious. One place the auto makers have improved production efficiency and product quality is standardizing as much as possible for a platform...

Your 2020 Mustang is a classic looking vehicle with a style that will age well! I agree and I also don't care for the C8 Corvette generation, maybe it will grow on me but I doubt it. I looked at the C6 generation but it was gone by the time I got around to ordering so I waited for the second...

That doesn't sound like fun :( So if I understand correctly, the cooling stack is set up with the condenser at the front (common practice since the AC condenser along with the intercooler for forced induction engines need the coolest air) with its own cooling screen and then the radiator...

Often fuses in smaller/simpler equipment are used to protect a multitude of circuits with disparate functions and I suspect that is the case with the OP's tractor. It isn't like a car or truck where they may be 100 or more fuses and breakers spread across three or more boxes.

I agree and this is much like the famous quote from Supreme Court Justice Stewart in a landmark pornography case when he stated, "I know it when I see it". The line between odd and disturbed enough to deny gun ownership is often blurry much like the line between art and porn. Extreme cases are...

I don't have a workshop manual for your tractor but the easiest way to troubleshoot this is to disconnect the battery and then use your meter (either DMM or VOM) set to read resistance. With the battery negative lead disconnected at the battery, connect your black meter lead/probe to ground and...

My older brother had a late model Ram/Cummins which he used to tow his 5th wheel and he loved that truck. It was a great tow vehicle with a nice interior. The new 10 speed is probably a fine transmission but I really like the classic Allison feel. I bought a 2021 Camaro with the 10 speed as...

troverman, I somewhat feel your pain even though I have never had AC in a tractor. I bought my Deere 955 compact for mowing, loader, and snow removal back in 1995 and my only real annoyance with it over the years are the stupid radiator screens. In order to remove them with the placement of...
