    Toro Dingo type QA adapter

    Toro Dingos and other mini stand-on skidsteers have a miniature version of the common skidsteer quick attach system. You can buy the adapters for the full size SSQA system to fit many loaders, or get brackets to build your own fairly cheap. Has anyone seen the Dingo-size adapters or brackets to...

    What's the failure mode for electric clutches?

    I've got an older Ferris ProCut Z that's losing a lot of blade speed in heavy grass. There's no belt squealing or burning rubber so it seems like the cutch is slipping. Do electric mower clutches slip?

    synchronized transmissions, trucks vs. tractors

    I've always found it odd that tractors without synchronized transmissions are considered "backward" while commercial trucking has universally and permanently rejected them. There are two contradicting "truths" about synchronized transmissions: 1. You're not a "real trucker" unless you're...

    A bale handle?

    I'm not sure how to feel about this. On one hand I wish I'd thought of it myself. Million dollar idea. On the other hand, I want to make fun of the wusses that would use such a device. For the imagination-challenged, it's a handle for carrying small square bales. You slip the strings over the...

    Intentionally weakening leaf springs

    Or, "Doing the wrong thing the right way." My firewood trailer, she's listin' to port... For the landlubbers out there that's "leaning to the left." The left side is down on the bump stop, but the right still has about 4" to go... and the right side is already fully loaded. I'd like it to...

    Theisen's

    Anybody order from Thiesen's Home Farm Auto in Iowa/Wisconsin? They have a chain of brick and mortar stores in those states. I'm in NY. I ordered a pair of "muck" style boots from them on Sunday evening. They were having a clearance sale and beat my local farm fleet store's price by $50 on the...

    Threads I reply to don't show as read.

    Helping 300guy get accustomed to the new forum yesterday, I noticed that threads that I reply to don't get marked as read. The titles stay bold in the topic listing and the little NEW flag doesn't go away, even after I read them multiple times. All other threads get marked read when I read...

    Food grade anti-seize?

    Just learned about food grade anti seize. Certified Labs Loc-Cease 20/20 or Loctite 1167237. Does anybody use it? Big advantage I see is you don't go home looking like Tin Man from Wizard of Oz.

    Redneck disc brake conversion

    Had to do a redneck disc brake conversion on the new axle for my firewood trailer.

    Barnyard fix for a GM 14 bolt on a wood trailer

    Heading back to pick up a load of firewood this morning, I look back to see that the trailer had developed the dreaded "extendo-axle." Broken hub bearings. I haven't looked at it close to see if it is even repairable, but new bearings are $110. The whole trailer isn't worth that much...

    souNdguy Youtube shoutout

    souNdguy hasn't posted here since 2019 but if he's still out there, he got a Youtube shoutout today on a channel called "Low Buck Garage." One of his old posts about cleaning sludge out of a transmission was referenced in his 11/16/2023 video about resurrecting an Oliver OC3 crawler loader.

    The chimney is clean: The trilogy

    Good news and no inane questions. Just a report. For the past two years I've asked around trying to find a reasonable solution for the hard-burning, smoke-puffing POS Vermont Castings Dutchwest catalytic wood stove. Dry wood, more chimney, resealing the stove, new catalysts... nothing helped...

    Vicon 423 T rotary rake undercarriage width.

    I'm looking at a Vicon Andex 423T rotary rake a couple hours away. Ideally I'd like to set it on my 7x12 single axle landscape trailer for the ride home because that trailer is light and pulls easy. The rake itself only weighs about 1200lbs so there's no problem with weight. My only question...

    Char-Lynn Hi-Lo-Pac hydraulic pump

    For some reason I have it in my head that you can attach one of these to a 1000 RPM PTO to get higher output. I ended up with THREE of these things... none complete. The one I sold several years ago made its way back to me, then picked up one at an auction for $5, and finally happened across...

    Super Hi-Rib front tractor tires

    Picked up a couple of NOS "Super Hi-Rib" front tractor tires at an auction last week, a 400-15 and a 7.5L-15. These are tri-rib tractor fronts but the center rib is not "pronounced" as it is on most tri-ribs these days. Anybody know if any of the current brands do something similar? Maybe...

    Who makes a good lockset?

    Looking for something to replace the worn out Weiser combination deadbolt knob at my parents' house before something breaks and leaves me locked out permanently. The knobs feel like they're barely attached and the mechanism keeps sticking. Anything you find at the hardware stores and home...

    Setting a post in difficult ground

    Replacing a rotten off 4x4 post in a privacy fence. When I originally put it in I hit a boulder right where the post needed to go. It's at least 3' in diameter, and the edge of it is right where the post needed to go! I ended up setting the post in concrete next to the boulder, but even there...

    Don't you love doing unnecessary work?

    Because of a tool. The AC on my pickup truck stopped working last summer. Luckily it also had engine problems so I barely got to drive it anyway. I could not get the high pressure coupler from my AC manifold set to clip on to the line. It appeared to have been mangled by the dealer when...

    Just because it's a Stihl

    Don't people understand that they can buy a brand new Stihl MS170 any day of the week for $199.99? There's a shelf full of them down at my local farm fleet store. Two of them on an auction last weekend brought $225 and $175. Unknown condition at an auction where you bring your straight-gassed...

    Too early to declare victory but I'm selling it

    Some of you may remember a couple of threads I posted here over the past couple of years about a gasoline Club Car Carryall. Long story short I FINALLY bit the bullet and bought a brand new genuine Kawasaki carburetor to the tune of $180. Worst "will fit" carburetor I've ever bought, even...
