    How Are Your Reflexes

    I can relate, I have to lift my right leg with my hand to climb over the transmission and shifter on all my tractors. I can kind of manage to get on the clutch on the MF 165 with my left leg, but it I find it easier if I give an assist with my hand. I find I try to anticipate things more than...

    Day from h3ll

    SweetFeet thanks for chiming in. Wife got me a bottle of nutrient tablets. Not sure how good they are -not any NPK in them. I have a lab draw Friday so I'll wait to see what that comes back as before I start on them. Next week I have some procedures I get to participate in so I'll have ample...

    Day from h3ll

    Thanks showcrop, I'm probably low on that too. I had a week or two where I was dead beat and in a funk, couldn't get motivated; I started on some electrolytes and was feeling better in a day or two. They said my blood serum potassium was at the max but in serum measurements don't mean much when...

    Day from h3ll

    I've been getting better health wise, or I like to think I am. Did some trail maintenance yesterday. Not much, a couple hours with the chainsaw and weed whip. Managed to whoop my own arse. Muscle cramps from head to toe. Hands so cramped I had to pry the fingers open to stop the pain and it...

    Used oil.

    I mentioned this topic to the Mrs. and she said it's a common occurrence with concentrated liquid detergents. Particularly Tide detergent for some reason (cost). Some body else mentioned it happens with latex paint too. Some people.....

    Dang Dingo, you're chipping away at my already shaky faith in mankind. :(

    8N bogs down

    You know I was thinking about this and thought maybe since you messed with it you might not have the governor adjusted properly. As for $$$ think of it like tuition. Oh and let us know what it was when you solve this puzzle.

    Used oil.

    Ok now I'm wondering about trans fluid and hydraulic oil? basically oil but lots of additives. I knew a transmission rebuilder who burned the old fluid. Oh my what a stink.

    Used oil.

    Okay so I want to believe in the goodness of humanity, I'll go with the 'honest mistake". Reoccurring honest mistake, but mistake. I can see where Dingo takes his oil back to be disposed of and somebody sits it in a corner. Shift change comes along and somebody else sees it and restocks it on...

    8N bogs down

    Oh hey, what about compression? You check that? My little grey Fergy sat for twenty years and the rings were stuck in the pistons grooves. Soaked them in ATF for about six months over winter and then it finally started to run. Rough at first but ran. After running for a couple hours stop and...

    8N bogs down

    Okay so maybe timing? How's the valve lash? Is it sputtering with back fires and misses? that going up hill business might be a clue.....maybe something in the tank floating around. Just spit balling, I'm sure somebody more knowledgeable will be along shortly with the correct answer. Good luck.

    Used oil.

    If your going to go to all the trouble of putting it back in new containers then why not do what some of the riff raff around here do and take it back for a refund. See used oil on the shelf at Tractor Supply Co. surprisingly often. At first I thought it was just an honest mistake, now I'm...
