    JD drawbar choices

    My drawbar snapped where it sits on the rear drawbar support bracket (T 21677) while using my batwing on a JD-2630. The 37 year old offset drawbar was rusty in the center while the top and bottom ¼" surfaces looked intact.Don't think it can be welded as it snapped exactly on top of the support...

    It ain't just Dodge

    Just picked up my up my F250 Super Duty with 61,000 miles on it from the shop to the tune of $626.00. Both brakes lines have rusted through within the past year, both rear shocks rusted through, caliper brackets and calipers rusted so bad the pistons had seized and front brakes locked up...

    Re: barn phantom power usage

    Phantom power loss at barn

    I'm losing about 9kw of power per day and can't figure out where it is going. Electric co-op hooked up a test meter for a couple of weeks and it was 1kw less than mine. I have systematically eliminated different breakers and the only thing that stops the draw is the load center main. The 100 amp...

    OT: road construction

    Ready to drive south again to check on my dad. Got some good advice a few weeks ago here on when to hit Atlanta. Anyone with recent experiences on areas to avoid/detours on the I-24 & I-75 routes to Florida? Nashville was pretty rough going a few weeks ago.

    Favorite YT forum tips?

    While changing tools and unhooking/hooking hydraulic hoses on my Bobcat this morning, I was thinking about some really great tips I've read on here over the past and how they have made life easier on me. What came to mind this morning was the trick offered by NCWayne about hooking the flat tip...

    Today's episode: What would you do?

    Fellow approached me 3 years ago and wanted to rent some ground. We settled on a cash rent figure and drew up a self renewing contract with a provision to (in writing) adjust the rent rate up/down and possibility add more acreage in the future. Two years ago he spread about 2 tons lime per...

    Summer propane prices

    Our local farm co-op called this morning and offered summer LP for 99¢/90 days or 94¢ cash. Typical?

    The all new Checker pickup truck?

    Hypothetical - some exec realizes that there many fancy pants extended cab suburb cruisers in the mid to high 5 figure range and realizes there might be a market for a vinyl interior/hose out, honest to goodness work truck. Now, say you were into marketing/engineering and find yourself in charge...

    Another question for Uafitter/Johnlobb

    I have an older Water Furnace (early 90's) that recently started making a cavitation/gurgling type noise from one of the circ pumps after a repairman was here. Both impellers have been replaced separately this past year after waking up to water on the floor. The gurgling/surging noise is...

    Enthusastic tractor collectors

    Reading about the post below about the Oliver 550 for sale below got me thinking about a show I attended a couple of years back in Pinckneyville, Illinois where Oliver was the featured tractor. As far as older tractors, John Deere pretty much rules where I live. They are followed by IH...

    OT - Atlanta traffic

    Is there any better alternate routes to get through Atlanta heading south on I-75? I've heard that I-285 is a killer. Heading to the Fort Myers, Fla. area.

    spring tractor projects

    Anyone have a spring tractor project to start? I have a Farmall A utility that's been sitting in the barn a couple of years that has a home-made belly mower on it. The builder used pulleys too small and the blade tips break the sound barrier and pull the tractor down to nothing easily. I learned...

    OT - parking lot snow removal

    What are some of the procedures used in your area for plowing large lots? Here they salt before it snows, then plow off the snow when it gets a couple of inches deep and then just repeat the cycle over and over. Uses a lot of salt and the lots seem to melt and re-freeze leaving black ice under...

    2015 Tractor Shows

    Maybe with gas being cheaper there will be a better showing at tractor shows this year. Trying to think what organizers could do to help the draw and make them more interesting to outsiders and maybe stimulate some new converts. Wonder if inviting dealers to bring some new tractors to sit along...

    OT - coyotes active earlier this year?

    Mangy things have really been on the move at night the last couple of weeks. The females normally come into heat in early March here but from all the yelping and carrying on at night things must be early this year. Between 1-3 a.m. seems to be their prime time but sounds more like young ones...

    Starter shim stock

    Parts store doesn't carry anything so what is a good material to use for shim stock on starters? Would aluminum coil stock/flashing be too soft? Does the stock need to have a light coat of dielectric grease on both sides?

    2015 Motor Trend truck of the year

    Looks like they chose the Chevy Colorado mid-size truck. Dodge abandoned that size to Toyota and Nissan and don't remember Ford having anything in the mid-size range as the ranger would be light-duty?
