    Cub Cadet 682 Hydrostatic Transmission

    I have been noticing a transmisson fluid leak stain where I park it. Yesterday when I drove it into the shop, it was leaving a trail of spots. I took the sheet metal off the top andd found that one of the relief valves(I think) had fluid running out of the weep hole in the top surface. This...

    The Worst Place to Repair a Machine

    I worked with a guy 35 years ago that was in the navy in WW2 and was on a Sub Tender in the pacific. They were sent out to fix a sub that had a broken crankshaft. They towed a floating drydock and replaced the crank at sea. The block was split at the crank and they unbolted it and lifted the top...

    I have a pair of 10 x 50's and wish they were 7 power. Hardly ever use them, and don't know where they are right now.

    Steel thieves

    About a month ago I heard that during a new house construction, the electrician spent a day running wire. Next morning it was all gone, along with what was still on the rolls.

    Cummins Model C114, 12-speed drill press parts

    If it is either end of the spring that is broken, take a grinder and replicate the notches on the broken part. I have done this on a mower recoil start and it worked fine.

    O.T. Ford Van Charging/electrical

    FIL was given a 92 Econoline by his Sister in law. She put a new battery in it on 5-10-11. It would not keep a charge. She had her son look at it and he said the alternator was bad. I went 80 miles to put a new alternator on it yesterday. I took the old one off and to a parts store. I thought it...

    Gas Tank Leak

    I bought a Permatex 2 part epoxy repair pkg 2 weeks ago to patch my metal tank. I cleaned the tank off and found many pinholes. I took the epoxy stick and tore off about half of it. You are supposed to knead it in your hands until it is an even color and texture. It was very stiff and when I did...

    Seeding Bluegrass

    Our lawn has gone to seed a litle over a week since it was mowed. How long does the seed have to mature before it will reseed the lawn after it is mown? The lawn could always get thicker. I really am not trying to put off the task of mowing. Thanks, Roy

    Cleaning up yard

    I hava at least a hundred Austrees. They are at least 15 years old. I have only had a couple die from the first planting. Biggest problem is too much shade from mature Ash trees in some locations. I found that you cannot replace one that dies because the surrounding trees take all the water. I...

    Cleaning up yard

    I have many trees that shed twigs and branches whenever the wind blows like it is doing now. What do you use to clean up besides bending over and picking them up and throwing them in a cart or trailer?
