    I guess we lost the tractor vet

    I guess we lost the tractor vet . He has not posted since December 22. I guess he can't deal with the new format. Too bad, I used to enjoy reading his posts.

    Does anyone know of a tool or a good method to remove the lid on a 5 gallon bucket that oil comes in for re use. Seems like I always have a fight on my hands when I do this.

    Survey/Field notes question

    We have hired a surveyor to locate a boundary between our ranches. My second cousins want to sell and we need to get this done. Our great grandfather bought our ranch in 1892. His brother bought the one to the south. It is a metes and bounds description in chains based on an earlier...

    They turned the power off again

    The power went off this morning at 5:30 am. The PG&E sends us messages quite often that there might be a Public safety power shut off. Most times it never happens. Today there was no warning. It will be off about 10 hours. Actually it was only turned off once before a few months back. It took a...

    Submersible pump problem

    The volume my well is producing has decreased from 8 gpm to 3 gpm. I am wondering if it is possible that the 1 hp pump could be running on the start windings only. I would think it would not last long if that were the case. It has been running for months that way. I pump into a tank so it runs...

    I'm a rancher.....

    The wife and I stopped at an old bar in Hornitos which an old Gold Rush town that is practically a ghost town today. The owner was a guy about my age who only keeps it open weekends because his father bought it 70 years ago. He said he is a "rancher by trade". I like that job description...

    My corn photo

    Corn is only 18" tall and tassling. Younger planting looks like it is sucking back into the ground. I guess corn will not grow in this climate.

    Ford 3000 3 pt problem

    My neighbor has a Ford 3000 diesel tractor. The problem is the 3 point won't stay set. It comes up real strong with his box blade on it but the only place it will stay is all the way up. When it is up it is continually jerking like it is against the relief valve. When that is happening it...

    350 U Progress, finally

    Quite a few years ago I bought a IHC 350 U cheap because the brakes were stuck. When I got it home I found there was a broken tooth in the power steering box and only one wheel would steer. I took the box apart and welded up a new tooth with 7018 and ground it to fit. After I re-assembled it I...

    Re: Emissions and noticeable air quality improvements

    Billy, Those old Cats like your D7 were built for economy and durability. I believe the injection pressure was 1700 psi or so. They were tuned to be economical and last forever. Then came the horsepower race of the '40's. By '48 the new capsule type injectors were down to 400-500psi. They could...

    Hay/Truck fire cause found

    I moved the truck this morning and looked it over. Behind the right rear wheel was something that looked like a plastic mud flap. I did not recall that the truck had mud flaps so I checked further. It must be a mud guard that was up behind the rear wheel under the bed. It had become detached and...

    Load of hay catches fire, burns truck

    Yesterday we went about 40 miles down to the valley and picked up 16 bales of hay. The seller offered to load it so I let them. I didn't care for the way they loaded it and I did not get to check each bale. There must have been a hot bale in the load. We were about 3 miles from home and someone...

    Will a solar panel charge a 6V. battery?

    I have a 15 watt solar panel I use to charge a 12 volt battery for my electric fence. A friend found a nice looking old 8N in a shed on the ranch where he works. The boss lady says it runs and he can use it if he gets it running. The only problem is no one has a 6 volt charger any more. I am...

    Baled hay heating up

    3 days ago I baled some oat hay that was not quite dry enough. I have never done this before, usually it gets too dry because I don't get to it soon enough. We are buying hay for $20 per bale at the other ranch 200 miles away so I wanted to bring some here. The little 2 wire bales weigh about...

    5' Mineapolis Moline combine

    About 7 years ago this old lady in her '90's took us to show us a 800 ac ranch she owns. We went through 2 other ranches and closed gates and finally come out in this beautiful valley. Now this is ranch land in the CA foothills. Lots of granite rock outcroppings and oak trees. This little valley...
