    LIPS (Loader Implement Position System)

    I did the same on my pallet forks. I ground the joint smooth so that the loader just glides into the pallet fork frame smooth as silk. I also applied a contrasting piece of arrow tape for a visual guide.

    Best wishes on your new adventures. You couldn't have been too bad because you didn't make my "ignored member" list.

    PTO shaft stuck on tractor

    I know. Just slide the threaded bar through the holes. My point was beating the pizz out of it while trying to remove the cross so you can use the holes! Northwoods Life has the gentle solution to that problem...the ball joint press.

    PTO shaft stuck on tractor

    That would be awesome if the yoke had bolt-on caps like that. Crosses and caps are a pain in the @$$ to swap out even under the most ideal conditions, let alone trying to beat them apart without damaging anything on the tractor end.

    PTO shaft stuck on tractor

    Remove the guard, get 2 hammers that are about the same size, and hit both sides of the stuck female spline simultaneously. Balanced forces will not damage bearings, etc.. I use this technique on stubborn pipe unions all the time and have NEVER damaged or cracked a union nut in my career, and...

    Faded Paint

    Not even close. The Regal Red example was for reference only as a brand/color that is more fade-resistant. I painted my scraper blade red and it lives out in the sun.

    Faded Paint

    Krylon Kubota orange fades to light pink in 1 year...total junk. Rust Oleum Regal Red looks like new after 3 years in the sun.

    Hose clamp boots!

    Isn't the outside of a hydraulic hose made of rubber in the first place? I can understand using an elastomer mount under a steel line to prevent vibratory abrasion.

    Looking for a new trailer...

    Trailers are just like shop buildings. Figure what size you absolutely need, then go bigger.

    Wow, you guys got the royal treatment! My WSM was a thumb drive on a keychain.

    Broken Feed Back Rod

    It's all nuts and bolts. You can take them apart yourself, or pay someone else to do it. I care about doing a good job, so I do the work myself.

    Lamp oil

    No, the one next to the auction barn. Used to be Spectors, but I think it owned by the English now. Yoder's was more $$$ as they are on everything.

    Lamp oil

    I use kerosene in my kero lanterns and lamp oil in my refillable wicked "candles" that I made. I can't smell any odor from the kerosene lanterns. My lamp oil gets bought at the Amish hardware store in Shipshewana.

    Sometimes things are not worth doing

    Check out the "Customer states" videos on the @Just Rolled In YouTube channel. Some of that stuff is unbelievable.

    Pallet forks helped again.

    A barrow is also a castrated male pig...all the real farmers know that! (The farmer statement is a joke based on your username, please don't take offense).

    Hydraulic 3 point upper link ?

    Not that I'm aware of. It's basically a cylinder with swivelly eyes on each end and plugs into your tractor remote hydraulics.
