    Christmas Story

    Hi, I too was at the 71 Bob Hope USO show at DaNang. I recall that the Ding-a-lings were part of the show. Bob Hope has always been my hero for what he did with entertaining the troops. I was stationed at Lz Hawkhill with the 723 maint batt, Charlie co in the Americal Div. Regards 1Lt...

    Anyone here owning/running a JD X534?

    I have owned a John Deere X534 for several years... having about 240 hours on it. I love the 4 wheel steer, plus the hydraulic deck lift and power steering. The power steering is the best for old arthritic arms. I use an attached cart leaf catcher/bagger with mine and it does a great...

    Howard Selectatilth Rotavator

    I was able to get 3-4 of them from my John Deere dealer parts guy. He looked them up and was able to obtain them for me. The parts manual can be found on the net... been 4-5 years since I did it.

    o/t sourkruat

    Brian G. NY We tied the bag pretty tight! My understanding of the sauerkraut fermentation is that it utilizes "anaerobic" (without air) fermentation and thus cutting off the air with the closed bag helps stop the spoilage at the top of the crock. Hope this helps! See the site below...

    o/t sourkruat

    The only thing I have to add is a trick my brother gave to me. That is to put the whole crock of cabbage, salt, etc in a large plastic garbage bag and tie it tight ... let set 6 weeks and all is done. All is clean with little spoilage and no flies or spiders and the like.

    Hot ..Cold ..Hot ..Cold

    I agree with Royce. If you have a well and the air pressure in your pressure tank is low, it will act this way... assuming you have a well with a pump and not on city water pressure. I had the same problem and was able to correct it by adding air to the air bladder in the pressure tank. For...

    Making hay with 1020?

    I have the diesel version of the 1020 and have been running a haybine and a square baler with it for several years... plenty of power! My son and I have about 15 acres of hay, 1st and 2nd cutting. If acreage were much greater, a larger tractor might be desirable.

    1020 Pwr Steer Pump blowing Seals

    I too own a 1020 diesel which experienced pwr steering pump blowing seals... 3 times was a charm for me. After replacing parts not needed and pulling out head hairs, I finally realized that the seal needed to be held in place. I simply dimpled or peened around the seal's enclosure with a punch...
