    More off topic plumbing questions haha.

    A master plumber can make serious good money. My plumbing contact said his issue is finding kids to start at the bottom. While starting pay is not bad, it is hard work that requires a lot of practice to get good. As the low person you can expect to lift toilets , tubs, and heavy tools of the...

    Trouble using grease gun

    Yup, Put a vise grip on the knurl and give a good twist. While mine are finger tight but they came from the factory very tight and looked like one piece. My disclaimer: My grease guns are expected to last at least two generations and were not from the guy selling tools at the flea market.

    Truck 1, Turkey 0

    Grand daughter learning to drive is doing 45 on a nice road. From out of the field on the left a turkey runs into the road and starts it take off. These damn birds do a vertical like a B-52. No time to hit the brakes or swerve. Kid hangs on as the bird strikes the left front fender and then...

    Trouble using grease gun

    To be fair to the OP. Do grease guns come with instructions ? Mine were hand me downs and then purchased but never looked for paper work.

    How are Military Tank Turrets Mounted?

    Like I said in post # 11. I just did not have pictures. Russian tanks use an auto-loader which has the ammo in a ring just under and around the turret. When hit in the right place all of this ammo goes off at once and turns the 12 ton turret into a champagne cork. No one survives this. US M1...

    B7200 Finish Mower

    I've been running a 60 inch King Cutter side discharge behind my B6200 for close to twenty years. If the grass is very very high and wet the motor starts to lag and blow some black smoke. I just raise the deck a hair and the problem is solved. When cutting on a hill the weight of the mower...

    Wait just one minute !! You should not judge the gender of a tractor driver by the back view of a ponytail. My pony tail is just as long !

    Russian tanks use an auto-loader which has the ammo in a ring just under and around the turret. When hit in the right place all of this ammo goes off at once and turns the 12 ton turret into a champagne cork. No one survives this. US M1 uses a 19 kid with big biceps as the loader. Safer, but...

    Vaccination opinions wanted...

    Granddaughter (vaxed and boosted) lives with us and brought home a bad cold. I am vaxed and boosted and had same cold within a day. Required testing by school showed we both had covid. No worse than a common cold. We were both better within a few days. One of my adult children lives a few...

    Wheel balancing?

    A portable static wheel balancer might work. About 70 bucks on e-bay/amazon. Might take a few friends to lift the rears on to it . I agree that there is no need to balance them.

    New to me B7200 HST 4x4 - questions

    On really cold (<0F) a few seconds of decompression helps with starting. My grandkid says it sounds 'cool' , like a big rig starting.

    B7200HST D

    Berry My 1986 B6200 owners manual shows the 5200, 6200 and 7200 as the same size with different horse power and slight tire options. There is no HST version in the manual , that may be a year difference. The only other b6200 I have heard of or seen is in the used/scrap area of my local tractor...

    Fuel prices

    Ever the optimist. Lab in England had a working very very small lab fusion reaction. I'd say 20 years to scale it up and 20-30 years for industry to build the large scale reactors and updated grid system. Could make chargers as common as gas stations and perhaps just as fast. The real world me...
