    Fall cattle prices

    I wonder what they are doing with the checkoff dollars right now? No need to advertise.

    Band sawmill

    I charged the cost of a new blade everytime I hit tramp metal, and didn’t give the log a second chance. A single soft nail, you might save the blade. Multiple or anything hard like drywall screws it was toast. If you know there is a good probability of tramp metal, they do make bi metal blades...

    Band sawmill

    Dad had bought one of the original Clarke mills. At the time they were building them in the garage next to their house. It was mostly manual when new. We added some power features over the years. Cut an awful lot of lumber with it. The manual carriage wasn’t bad so long as you kept the wheels...

    Plastic Oil Pan

    As do many of the current Fords. I keep a spare plug for the wife’s car. Haven’t needed it yet.

    Fall cattle prices

    Bringing in processed beef doesn’t put hooves in the feedyards. And most of the big feedyards are very cozy with the packers. And corn is still incredibly cheap. The main sale barn here has been posting the same price per head all summer for everything from 4 weights to 7s. If I had calves...

    triangle or trilobe pto shaft

    Many general repair machine shops also build drivelines. There are several in this hood, but I am also in the center of a big ag area.

    John Deere 9500 auto header height control/ dial o matic issues

    Just a 5 (I think) position switch plate. Start checking connections and continuity. And remember the header needs to be engaged for it to work.

    What happened to pickups??

    Leaving it on the kitchen table can create an alibi. The issue I have with the flock cameras is their ability to mis read or be fed incorrect information. Then you get the police conducting full on armed felony traffic stops while looking to be the county’s next hero. Meanwhile they have the...

    What happened to pickups - part two

    Enjoy the trip. I once sent my Mom to Dallas to pick up a F350 and drive it back to Maine. One flat tire was the worst of the trip.

    Massey 1105 Hydraulic Lines Vibrating After Hydro Work

    The filter in the grille is only for the flush oil from the pump, it does not filter the whole output flow. There is a screen in the bottom of the transmission that filters the intake of the charge pump. As I recall, there is no way to change the valves to single acting, as with a closed center...

    Cement Mixer Advice

    Some of the premix bags have air agent in them already. For those that are in the midwest, you can get liquid air admix at Menards. Along with several other plasticizers and such.

    Compression tester

    I have a similar kit that came from Amazon or Ebay, can’t remember which. Same issue, the H bar was too long to fit. I made a new shorter one since I had the tools to do it handy and figured I may need the longer one someday.

    Cement Mixer Advice

    I have a 5-6 cuft 3 pt mixer. It is a handy thing for when you need 1 or 2 mixerfulls. My beef is the mix you get in the premix bags. Can never get anything that finishes half decent without doctoring it up with more portland or admixture.
