    OT: Electric fence stories!

    I keep a 50' Craftsman rubber garden hose in my service van to clean A/C coils with, and one day I took it out to fill my goat's water trough. It was late afternoon and dinner time, so I left it and forgot to put it back in my van. The next morning I hurried out to coil it up and put it back in...

    Plowing question

    i agree with Colin here. i've plowed a large garden spot for a few years with a middlebuster because when i bought it didn't know it wasn't truly for plowing, and couldn't afford a turning plow anyhow. after you go over your garden with it, you will have large hills and deep furrows in between...

    OT - Trailer stolen, any thoughts on prevention?

    sorry to hear about your theft. as a blue-collar worker i know the value of our hard earned possesions, and it sucks and is depressing to know that there are people out the who don't value anything, and are most likely just looking for their next "fix." a good friend of mine who is a self...

    Good Things

    congrats on the great deal! you can't beat having it all delivered, either. did you need most of them, or are they back-ups? now you've got that all-important excuse for the wife when you buy another tractor! (well, shoot, honey, i've got so many parts now i really should do the right thing...

    Blocking the clutch pedal

    someone else will probably be able to explain it more in depth than i can, but to my understanding the biggest thing is, without it blocked the friction disc is in constant contact with the flywheel, and that causes it to trap moisture in the form of condensation. the disc will be warm from use...

    Are tappet wrenches necessary?

    you're exactly right, that's what the holes are for. you're also right that they are not factory. it's an easy fix when you don't have access to the tappett wrenches. when i dropped my block off at the machine shop, he was actually in the middle of drilling holes in one when i got there. it's...

    PTO adapters, and a PHD question

    sheared the pto adapter today for the second time, the one which slides over and pins onto the pto shaft on the tractor. i have been buying them from tsc. other than replacing the pto shaft with one the correct size, there is really no better way to do it, right? the first time i was...

    Planting

    i've never heard of mulching them in rather than covering with soil, but i like the idea of it. what is the thought behind that? easier to dig them up when they're ready?

    hot rod tractor

    that made the rounds on here about a week and a half ago. i don't see what's keeping it from flipping over backwards, it looks a little longer from the different engine and such, and i'm sure it's a fair amount of weight out front, but still, with enough power to spin those tires on asphalt it...

    Just finishing up

    i know that feeling you're talking about when it fires up that first time for you! i rebuilt the engine in mine and fixed several other problems while it was apart, and when it started that first time after being in so many peices in the barn was nice! i was the same way, smiling ear to ear and...

    OT: 12v vehicle outlet/cigarrette lighter

    you're right on all counts. i haven't been able to test them in another vehicle yet as i'm still out on the road. that's my next step though when i get home. i feel like it's got to be in the 3-outlet power port, too, i'm not sure how it didn't blow the fuse for it in the fuse box, but who...

    OT: 12v vehicle outlet/cigarrette lighter

    the accessory tap i bought has two places for a fuse on it. one is for the fuse you remove to be able to plug it in and the other is for the accessory you are adding. it didn't blow either of those, only the ones in the chargers. i finally gave up and removed the power tap and put the factory...

    OT: 12v vehicle outlet/cigarrette lighter

    i thought the same thing, replaced all 3 fuses, reversed the wires and tried again, same result.

    OT: 12v vehicle outlet/cigarrette lighter

    OT: 12v vehicle outlet/cigarrette lighter

    hoping someone might have some insight here. i have a "power port" with three outlets in my work van that i use for my gps, phone charger, inverter, etc that is plugged into the cig lighter. it quit working yesterday so i checked for voltage at the cig lighter and did not have 12 volts. i...
