    ot, need help on bad buyer

    Way back when, my agency would handle bad checks for any amount. As time went on, they quit doing investigations on small checks. And later, they would not investigate unless the check was for more than $1500. There were just too few investigative resources and too few prosecutorial resources...

    ot, need help on bad buyer

    Yeah, that is a good way to get yourself a room in the Federal prison system under the RICO laws!

    what brand is this seat?

    I have never seen an air shock that short. The ones I ever installed were at least twice as long and for the back suspension. But you never know! I would try contacting companies that make air shocks these days. It would sure be nice to be able to adjust the seat height and bounciness with...

    Dang! Battery question

    Unless the trip to town was a real short one, I would be concerned about the battery and/or the charging system. The alternator in most fairly new rigs will put out a LOT of amps, and those big amp numbers should charge a low battery that is otherwise in good shape up within a short time. If...

    Home made ethanol-free fuel

    That seems like a lot of trouble! And what do you do with the left over water/alcohol mix? In my area most gasoline is 10% ethanol. But one station sells no ethanol premium gas. It is a bit more expensive than the regular mix, but not that much. I know the owner of that station. He gets...

    OT, WHAT! I Have To WORK?!?!

    Bryce, I have read many of your posts and I am impressed with your "get up and go". I was not aware, however, that you are home schooled. I am wondering why. Are you too far from a high school, so if you went to public school, you would spend way too much time riding a school bus? Or is the...

    What is your biggest Brainf@rt of the year, so far?

    Better than "wow, this shower really stinks!"

    Propane convert to CNG to power a tractor?

    It might work, but I doubt that it would ever be practical. And it would be expensive. Natural gas carries less energy per unit of volume than Propane, so you would need to use a bunch more to get the same level of power production. Another disadvantage of natural gas as compared to propane...

    We're at Branson Missouri

    We are going to Branson in October, but I am not sure just what shows and activities my wife has planned. I usually just let her do the planning for our vacations and it always turns into a good time. I will mention the train to her. Thanks!

    no title

    I may be a little late in telling you this, but I would suggest that you find out what is necessary to gain legal ownership of the vehicle in your state and GET THAT PROCEDURE DONE before you spend any money on getting it running. Years ago I was an auto theft investigator. I got assigned a...

    Ant Hills

    The next time you change the oil in one of your vehicles, while the oil is still hot, dump the used oil onto the ant hill. It helps to make a bit of a hollow out with a shovel beforehand. I don"t know if the oil kills the ants, or they just leave and go somewhere else, but I have never had the...

    coyote hunting this weekend

    At least with the coyotes we have around here, my experience is that they are pretty hard to hit! They are very wary, and it has been unusual to ever get a shot at one closer than about 100 yards. You may be a better shot than I am, but I doubt that I could hit a coyote with a .22 at over 100...

    ford 2 bottom plow

    I was able to buy new shares for my 10-1 at New Holland a few years ago, but they were very expensive. The counter guy who waited on me said "gee, I didn"t know we sold any plow shares that expensive"! The pair was over $200, which was more than I paid for the plow. However now it works...

    I am glad to read that! I wondered how you were doing. Good luck!

    hay preservative

    I hate to think about how many thousands of bales I have set up on their ends or made teepees out of because they got rained on or were a little wet when baled. We would usually let them dry like that for a few days after a rainstorm and then haul them to the barn. I do remember my Dad...
