    Have been told about a Online Scammer

    When I google County Line Implement, I only see this site: County Line Implement It appears to be legit. Is this the site you say is a scam? Or has that site gone down?

    Land Rent

    What you have is a tenant with a sense of entitlement. It's not uncommon; most tenants will develop a sense of entitlement after a few years of renting with little or no pushback from their landlord. In order to disabuse him of his sense of entitlement, you need to send him a letter ASAP...

    Amarillo

    You don't just have to eat the steak, you have to eat the entire dinner. Why someone would want to is a mystery to me.

    Amarillo

    His name was Stanley Marsh 3, and he was neither a farmer nor a rancher. Marsh was the heir to a substantial oil fortune, and sponsored numerous "artworks". Cadillac Ranch is the most famous, probably due to its proximity to I-40. By all accounts he was a very strange dude.

    Amarillo

    Well, there's always the Helium Monument. When I lived in Amarillo, the one thing folks from out of town wanted to see was the "Texas" musical, held in an amphitheater in nearby Palo Duro Canyon. But it's only performed during summer months. Whether you want to or not, you'll see the Cadillac...

    Land Rent

    A year-to-year lease would be unheard of in some parts of the country. Out on the high plains a three-year lease would be the minimum, with most renters insisting on a minimum of five years. A good renter is going to invest a lot of money in the land, and will want to be able to farm it long...

    "Air Cannon" equivalent for small tires.

    Many tire stores flat-out refuse to mount tires they didn't sell.

    "Air Cannon" equivalent for small tires.

    I just wrap a ratcheting cargo strap around the tire and tighten it up. No problem to get the bead to seat with a regular air chuck.

    Probably going to sound dumb…

    Same thing happened to me. Those sintered bronze plugs aren't easy to find. I eventually got a plug from Roberts Carburetor and replaced mine.

    Probably going to sound dumb…

    The carb is doing what you would expect it to. Gas is coming out through a sintered bronze plug whose purpose is to let fuel drain from a flooded carburetor. Now, if fuel drains out of the carb BEFORE you try to crank the engine, that is an issue. More likely a bad needle-and-seat valve than...

    Loaded Tires

    I know I'm stating the obvious, but are you checking the tire pressure with the tire turned so the valve stem is at the top? Have you tried a different gauge? FWIW, they make special gauges for ballasted tractor tires; they're spring-loaded so any liquid in the gauge gets ejected.

    Wicked saw

    Most saw manufacturers recommend against using bow bars due to their high kickback risk, but they're still available from third party suppliers. Mainly for bucking firewood. One source
