    2020 Silverado tailgate replacement - now it doesn't work

    Went to the Chevrolet dealer today and talked with the parts department. Asked to look up the tailgate wiring harness for a 2020 Silverado and what years it was used on. Sure enough my wiring harness was used up until 2022. The tailgate I bought was off of a 2023 Silverado. Even though the...

    2020 Silverado tailgate replacement - now it doesn't work

    In typical farmer fashion I damaged the tailgate on my 2020 Chevrolet Silverado. Has the backup camera and push button unlock. No power up or down. I was lucky to find the same color tailgate off of a 2023 Silverado. Mine is a 2020. Switched the tailgates. There are two electrical...

    John Deere B - no oil pressure at pipe to gauge

    Generally on my 2 cylinders you get oil flow just turning it over slowly.

    John Deere B - no oil pressure at pipe to gauge

    I have a late model John Deere B that I wanted to get running again. Needs a new battery and probably starter work, but the engine does turn over well by turning the flywheel (had taken the cover off). Filled crankcase with oil. Took the little pipe off at the top of the crankcase that goes...

    AM radio static

    I installed a new radio in my Deere 4440 this spring. Replaced the factory radio with a Pioneer. Static was bad and seemed to get worse after a few minutes. Went back and read the instructions that came with the radio. It said to run a separate ground wire from a good known ground on the...

    John Deere 300 Computer Trak planter monitor screen going bad

    I have a John Deere 300 computer trak planter monitor. Planting soybeans at 150,000 seeds per acre I noticed that the "1" was missing the lower two segments on the screen. I assume it is nothing I can fix. Are the 300 computer trak monitors still repairable at places like Ag Express? Or does...

    Woods 1260 rotary mower (10 foot) blades getting out of time and hitting each other

    When I talked with a service tech at Woods he said right away what the problem was. He told me to mark the bonded rubber devices with a felt pen or chalk to see which one was moving. I feel alot better about the opportunity to buy the shafts aftermarket for less than half price.

    Woods 1260 rotary mower (10 foot) blades getting out of time and hitting each other

    I have a Woods 1260 10 foot rotary mower. The 1260 is built heavy. The 1260 has two blades. Recently I had to re - time the blades as they would hit each other. Took a while to figure out. I did call Woods and they said the PTO shafts powering the left and right gear boxes have a bonded...

    John Deere G spark plug removal? Thin socket needed??

    On the John Deere G I just aquired I cannot get my spark plug sockets to go over the plug. Seems like there is no room for the socket wall to fit in the clearance between the plug and the casting. What am I missing here? Do I need to grind a socket thinner?

    On a John Deere G, how much width can I save by just removing the rims/tires and loading it on the cast hubs/wheels?

    Thank you for all responses. I got the tractor moved. I had moved many tractors over the years. The problem was the tractor was 160 miles away and the wheels probably haven't been moved on the axles for 50 years. I had a guy who was a neighbor to the shed it was stored in measure the total...

    On a John Deere G, how much width can I save by just removing the rims/tires and loading it on the cast hubs/wheels?

    We want to move a later model John Deere G. Wheels haven't been moved since it was new and farming 38 or 40 inch rows. I don't think it will fit on the trailer. If I just take the rims/tires off and pull it on the trailer with the cast iron hubs/wheels how many inches am I going to save for...

    Neighbor kid signed statement and paid $10,000 to never sue his employer

    Neighbor kid has worked there for 4 years and has no intention of leaving. It would be a small factory with maybe 15 employees. Privately owned. They have always made payroll. I am sure the company utilized a lawyer to write this legal work up. According to the kid there was a couple pages...

    Neighbor kid signed statement and paid $10,000 to never sue his employer

    I have never heard of this. A close neighbor kid told me he will receive $5000 this month and $5000 in June for signing a statement that he will never sue the manufacturing company he works for if injured. Company manufactures products out of metal - shearing, bending, and welding. Most of...
