    Road Maintenance Causing Issues

    The salt is a job creator but the bridges are the BIG? Here in IL, the bridges get a double coating. Salt water makes a great base for roads but not a caoting. In Iowa in the 60s they used salt and sand because of the low temps, half the salt. The only way to avoid it would be to live away...

    Minimum I should be searching for in a Used Backhoe?

    I bought a 580K for $10K a few years back. No FWA and the converter is a little weak but it is an extender. The tack is broke at 3900 hours. So go figure, it works and leaks some. For $2K you are not going to get much but only one that has missed the junk yard.

    Jury summons

    Like others, I got called and it was settled before the trial. I think the lawyers should have paid for the jury cost out of their own pockets. A waste of time and money. Another thing that burns me is police arrest someone on several charges. The states attorney wants to win every case because...

    Articulating 4wd harder to service

    The 4 wheel drive 30 series were just an end loader made into a farm tractor and sounded like one. Who would have designed the front axle so you have to pull the engine or axle to drop the pan. I liked my old 310 Steiger but the hydraulics were terrible and the center shaft in the drop box was...

    Some harvest pictures

    It looks very much like around Ellsworth, IL in Mclean county. The field goes just past Bloomington to almost Gibson City. I got a good picture of one where I drove up to the base and opened the sunroof on my van. I got a picture with the blade right above us. At night they all blink red lights...

    Which bread is perfectly toasted ?

    I will go along with all of you on the wheat bread. My favorite is Aunt Millies and toasted like #11. My dad just wanted his warm and white. I don't understand those that tear off the crust on bread or pies. That is the best part. We were tought to clean our plate.

    Who gave you a hair cut?

    My uncle gave me a crock cut when I was young at my grandpa's and I gave him a cussing when he let me look in the mirror even at that young age. I had a friend, Art that went to the barber and was ask how he wanted it cut. Art said that he wanted a little short here and a little long here, etc...

    Bleeding JD 820 fuel system

    Go to JD Parts and plug in 820 in the model and wait for it to book up. There are two orings on that tube if I remember right. Had to take my 830 apart to get the bio cleaned out and then repainted. Make sure you have the old gaskets out of your filter housing.
