    Thanks and another question

    Thanks for the comments on my pepper questions the other day. Now a man talked me to a new kind of cherry tomatoes last spring. It is my best looking tomato plant out of about 30 plants, the question is when are they ripe? They are purple in color?

    update on CC 2160 PTO clutch

    Thanks for the help in the removal of the clutch. I received & installed the new one. I then ran the tractor and engaged the PTO. Everything seems fine without any load, so I went to attach the snowblower( only thing I use the tractor for) and the auger drive belt & belt guard need to be...

    thinking of buying an 1835 loader

    thinking of buying an 1835 loader, there is one for sale locally real cheap but it has a bad wheel motor. it stands to reason in my mind that if one is motor is bad then other is on it's last leg and the whole system should be cleaned and flushed. maybe even replace the hyd pump. any words of...

    Rifle scope question one mead for 22 on a M1 carbine

    i like the peep sights on them rascals, a simmons 8 point is a decent bottom dollar scope, bsa makes a few good ones too-recoil no problem for them--about 50 bucks though. if you still want the 22 scope make sure it is a 1 inch tube as mentioned.

    53 Jubilee- Grey engine oil

    usually if it is a lot of water it will look more like chocolate milk--- if grey you might want to ask him if he uses aviation gas--since it still has the grey lead in it--tore many race motors apart that used av gas. or could just need it changed. you might want to get a compression test done...

    I think I must have annoyed the gods or something...starter

    the punishment from the gods is to work on a tractor--you got off easy........sounds like either the starter bone isn"t connected to the bendix bone- -sheared pin, or the bendix is in need of a cleaning. keep the starter together when pulling or you may have to find some toothpicks

    P.S. on an 8 N Ford

    lifting weights or selling the tractor and buying one with PS would be easier in the long run and cheaper.

    send some down here-getting tired of fighting fires. Department is getting tired of me tearing up tires-two in the last week from running in mesquite river bottoms. hope the seeds don't float away.

    Would you want to?

    for a vacation house absolutely. for every day my wife would get a case of shopping jitters and drive me crazy. I live 13 miles from the big city (about 18000, in a town of about 90) to me that is just about right.

    O/T:Building a house

    a popular option in the country here--no problem with code inspectors--is to build a metal building. place a small apartment inside to start with and build as time and money allows. My wifes uncle has done it twice. last one ended up being over 3500 square feet. 3 years to complete. he...

    In house storm shelter

    there are FEMA guidelines--Texas Tech recommends one like you are describing--pay attention to the door. price to have one like that installed by contractor is above 5 grand. I have been near a few tornadoes and helped with the fire department after the 99 tornado that hit OKC. saferooms...

    what are these weeds

    looks like rapeseed. or canola. cash crop in some places-but makes a heck of a mess if it ain't what you planted.

    I'm not complaining but....

    be careful when you say you have wet areas on your land....you may have to restore it to wetlands. I would be okay if my property value went down a little = less taxes. I'm not moving anywhere for quite awhile.

    correct plowing ?

    in England they have long hills that are from generations of families plowing the same land. it was hard to turn a plow pulled by an ox, so their land was usually as long as an ox could pull before resting, then they would turn it around and go again. the landscape in a few areas is still wavy...

    8N wiring burns

    I had one do the same thing quite a few years back, I pay close attention where wires run and try to use metal retainers as much as possible. couple hours work always beats hauling it to the scrapyard.
