    Cutting a piece of pipe

    I put a regular hose clamp on the pipe, then trace it with a Sharpie.

    Square baler for low hp tractor

    As a young teen about 35 years ago, we had a tractor go down while baling hay and incoming weather allowed no time to wait. I ran the John Deere 14T with the neighbor's Farmall Super C. As I recall the tires were not loaded and had no weights, plunger action of the baler would rock the...

    helping others

    If someone is in a jam and willing to help themselves, then I'm all for it. Stuff happens to all of us; sometimes it is stuff we create ourselves but if someone realizes their mistake and wants to change it, I'm fine with that. If someone just wants a handout, no. Me giving you stuff isn't...

    What does it cost where you live

    I'm in south-central Michigan (Moscow area), about 500' off the road; a single pass up the driveway would cost $50. If I add to that clearing a parking/turnaround area and widening the driveway with a 2nd pass on the way out so it doesn't drift shut as easily, $150 total. A couple years ago I...

    Old Car Hood

    Plastic truck bed liners work well also. Cut a + in the bottom front corners, shoved a rope through and knotted it, looped rope over hitch on Jeep....

    Transmission snake oil

    I really don't care for those split the trans to change the filter designs. Seems like they were intended to fail, not be maintained, simply due to difficulty of access. I had a Honda Accord like that; I changed the internal screen, then added an inline magnetic filter. The inline filter had...

    Pex Tubing Info?

    You might want to consider the Watts quick-connect fittings. They work with copper, PVC and PEX; there is a plastic insert that goes inside the PEX to stiffen it at the connector. The fittings are re-useable and you can still rotate the pipes if you need to change the angle to facilitate the...

    parts washer solvent

    Transmission fluid does a surprisingly good job. When I do a fluid & filter change on my vehicles, if the old fluid is relative clean I save it for either the parts washer or the squirt can of custom lube mix.

    Hauling some beer barley

    I love the B12! However on a few occasions it seems to have caused swelling of some rubber components. I used a spray can to soak a rag and wiped the crustys off a bowl o-ring; ring fit fine when disassembled but was too big when trying to reassemble.

    Filling a wellpit

    I recall flooding issues a long time ago, like 30 years or so, but nothing recent. Her old barn had crop records written on the wall from 1898, so I'm guessing the rounded outline where the well casing is might be the original cistern that serviced the farmhouse?

    Meant to add that location is south central Michigan.

    Filling a wellpit

    My mom's well pump went out. We're having the pump replaced, converted to a pitless adapter and the casing extended above grade. The wellpit is 5'x5'x6' with block walls. I'd like to remove only the top couple courses of block and then backfill the pit. Is there a reason I should dig out all...

    9N no hydraulic lift after replacing draft control plung

    Not sure what your point is, only guessing that you have a different explanation? Can you clarify please?

    9N no hydraulic lift after replacing draft control plung

    #47 in the parts diagram did not drop out. Both pivot pins in #53 Lift Control Lever Fork came out. I fished around inside with a magnet but only found one pin. I worked on it from the right side of the tractor and know for sure the right side pivot pin was in there throughout initial...

    It is not a Cub

    Nice find, I'm jealous! I've heard that vinegar in the cylinders will dissolve the rust. Anyone ever tried it? Of course you'd probably have to contend with sticky rings but a spinner is better than a stuck 'er.

    9N no hydraulic lift after replacing draft control plung

    Good morning, Tim I did respond via email but posting here also. Yes it's a 9N pump. The draft control plunger had broken in half. Since the hydraulics don't work at all without the draft control plunger being held out, I simply pulled the plunger (now a stub) outward and clamped a pair of...

    9N no hydraulic lift after replacing draft control plung

    Good evening, all This seemed like a pretty straight forward process but I obviously buggered something. Hydraulics were fine before replacing the busted plunger. I ran it for probably at least a year with a pair of Vice Grips holding the old plunger stub out a ways just so the lift would...

    9N differential mystery thrust bearing and pin?

    I'll give it another look. I can see one of those in it; the other one is pretty hidden from view but I didn't feel excessive lateral play in the gear. Thanks!

    9N differential mystery thrust bearing and pin?

    I was wondering if that was it, given that there are no symptoms of any issues. Thanks!
