    Steel building : Magnets for TV antenna on roof...?

    That's what we used at our shop. Digital TV doesn't want them back if service is ended, so people just throw them away. We got ours for free that way and mounted a good small Channel Master antenna. An antenna amplifier may also help if you are far from the OTA towers.

    Hunting and game posts

    Deer are having a hard time getting thru the deep snow, so they are now using the plowed drive to find food. It is deer season, but this is too easy.

    Mice

    That's all it takes for the little a--holes to start a nest and do damage. Once they start it is hard to get rid of them. Maybe the cats will catch on to them soon and help you out.

    How big a generator do I need to run a Lincoln 220 stick welder.

    Depending on what you want to use your shop in the future, distance and access from the main panel, you may find that having under ground put in is the way to go. I had lights and 110 outlets in a metal storage building installed this year. They trenched conduit about 40 feet and back filled...

    Confused by the manual of the L2501 HST

    I use the clutch on our L2501 HST when I start it, shift range, 4WD engage & dis-engage, PTO in & out. Maybe I don't need to for all? - but I don't think it hurts to use it - and my left leg could use a little exercise once in a while anyway. Probably a bad habit that carried over from using...

    What's the right implement for the L2501 for driveway resurfacing/grading?

    If your brother will let you borrow his box blade, even if it is narrower than your wheel width, as long as it fits your cat 1 hitch you can use it next spring to dig up the pot hole areas and then decide if that type of attachment is worth the investment.

    What's the right implement for the L2501 for driveway resurfacing/grading?

    The zig-zag pattern with scarifiers works great in bad areas of a road. For "down pressure" we strap a large log onto the box blade. Depending on your climate, spring time - after thaw - but before the road packs down hard, is a good time to do road maintenance around here in NW PA. Hard packed...

    What's the right implement for the L2501 for driveway resurfacing/grading?

    A land plane with scarifiers works great for long runs. It should have adjustable skids on sides that allows for a little crowning effect. A box blade with scarifiers is good for digging up deep pot holes and can be used for the longer runs if you don't have a land plane, but will not be as easy...

    Wood stoves......My favorite part of having a "cottage"......

    We heated a large house for 30+ years with a Jensen wood furnace. Used about 5 to 6 cord of wood per year. It is a lot of work, but provides nice even heat compared to the oil furnace. Have the trees and equipment, but starting to run out of steam to do it.

    B2650 B3350 LX26 Lx35/4020 HSDC won’t fit it normal garage door

    I think most home garages have 7 foot doors. The manufactures should know that and make the ROP"s fit with a little extra clearance to avoid any "oh c**p" moments when pulling in.

    Furniture dollies?

    We use the steel car dollies for our trucks snow plows when they are stored off season. Easy to roll the 600 to 800 pound mold boards with mounts and pump assembly on concrete. Only need 3 dollies for each plow.

    When Did You Start Feeling Old?

    When my 34 year old son or his friends complain about aches and pains that they never had to deal before, I love to say "Gee - you must be getting old!" They don't like to hear it, but are starting to understand why I don't cut and split 6 cord of wood, help with roofing jobs, etc like I could...

    Sometimes I'm Not Very Smart

    I have an opposite problem. Purchased a 10 pack of small G4 light bulbs last January and used one. Needed another this week and, for the life of me I can not find the other 9 bulbs. I know they are here, but have no clue where I put them when I need them.

    What to get the wife?

    My wife and I have the same birth date and decided to get married on that date also. Instead giving each other gifts and cards, going out for a fancy dinner, etc. it all cancels out - so we just enjoy the special day with each other - as we have for the last 39+. An exception to that was 9 years...

    WD 40

    A chimney sweep and repair guy we have used for 30+ years told us that he found spray adhesive (like 3M super 77) knocks them down instantly, because their wings become unusable as soon as it hits them. He learned it when, as skeets said, it was the only thing close by at the time. Hard to get...
