    Weed Question

    My Queen Anne's is easily spotted as it is only a couple of feet tall, matured. What gets me is that I have owned this farm since 1978 and never saw any and this year it is everywhere, I mean everywhere......well there hasn't been any growing out of my bed! This has been an unusually wet...

    Weed Question

    Grazon is limited in Tx. Cimmaron isn't. In reading the www writeup Queen Anns Lace isn't mentioned but "Wild Carrot" is. Since this has a carrot root, may apply anyway. Also it doesn't have any restrictions on using on hay crops or other animal injested crops. May give that a try....must...

    Ford 2600

    I have a 3600 Diesel with all blue Ford paint except for the Ford Light Grey (almost white) wheels. I also have a 3000 and the 3600 has several upgrades over the 3000 that I like, with both having the 8 speed, bullet proof, tranny. I started with gas tractors as that was all that I could...

    Weed Question

    Ok folks now I have a name I can check on packages of weed killer and Miner thanks for the tip on Grazon. I bought Grazon P+D back when I started improving a pasture and had an Applicator's license....in 2.5 gallon (as I recall) jugs. A lot of herbicides are available to the average person in...

    Weed Question

    We have had rain for a couple of days, every day for about 3 months. Having never seen this weed before there is an explosion of a weed that looks a lot like Poison Sumac, tiny white flowers in a round cluster, each blossom with an individual stem reducing to a thin stalk for a cluster of a...

    Update on Thistle spraying

    I use 2% of the amount of water then 80/20 ratio of the amount of 24d to surfectant to determine the amount of surfectant.

    Metal roofing

    You surely have a slope to the roof. Most steel of that type has ridges for strength and they can allow for condensation to run down to the eaves. The moisture barrier protects your wood. At 29 Ga. you might have some hail denting. I have 26 on part of my house and 26 on a 24x36 garage built...

    rodent control

    I just noticed a snake around the outside of my shop, about 2' long, not a "pit viper" so I leave it alone. I think I have killed off my rats with Tom Kat cubes but find a dead mouse in the shop from time to time. Maybe its a mouser.

    Storing Funnels

    I have a plastic tray/tote measuring approx. 10" high, 24" long, and 12" wide with a lip all the way around for storing the smaller funnels. I put a 30 gallon trash bag, still folded to some extent over the box with a bungie type (cloth covered easily stretched) retainer around it to keep the...

    Frozen clutch - dissolve rust with Coke?

    Back around 1960 I was moonlighting at a service station in a rural area. More than once I heard folks recommend putting Coke in an automatic tranny to solve slipping issues.......putting sugar and water into a transmission?????? Not my cup of tea.

    fill cracks in tractor tires

    I have a JD model N poop slinger that still has the original tires, cracked all over but hold air with a leak down rate comparable to some new tires. I had to quit using it last year as one of the links on the ladder chain broke causing a cross brace to punch through the floor and tear up a...

    fill cracks in tractor tires

    The leather was common practice where I grew up and was only mentioned for Babbit Bearings on Chevy 6's which were popular (as were Ford flat head V8s......but they had head cracking problems) at the time.

    Rattle Can Paint

    What I do is spray the nozzle immediately after each use. Doubt it will work on a clogged nozzle that has dried.
