    What is this tool?

    My father found it in his toolbox and asked me about it. I haven't a clue. It has a level on one piece but not on the other. It's about 4-5" in length and weighs roughly 1lb. It's adjustable in width.

    Oliver makes a successful return.

    I called my contractor to have him build me a new garage. He convinced me to do the excavation myself including the footer. "How hard can it be, it's just a hole" he said. So I bought a 24" bucket to replace the 8" bucket and got to work. The machine held up very well and about 3 hours I had...

    Be prepared for the worst

    I know some of you guys live pretty remote, hopefully you're prepared with some of the extreme temperatures and snow, most of you have barns and secondary living areas. This fella burned his house burned down, no way to communicate or travel, managed to make it 20 days until help arrived...

    Old girl's still got it

    Needed to take up a bit of concrete. Was planning on jack hammer's and pry bar's. Decided to see if my oliver 77 was up to the task and sure enough, ran better than it has in years. Every time the engine even thought about bogging the governor kicked in and it roared back to life. I did sheer...

    super 88 exhaust manifold

    I have a 77 industiral with a super 88 motor. The exhaust manifold is all but gone. Taking thte exhaust manifold off will also remove the intake manifold. If I'm taking that off I may as well replace it as well. I will also need all new gaskets for exhaust and intake. So the question is, can...

    Coffee drinkers

    I love my coffee. Gets me going in the day, and my wife prepares it perfectly. Sometimes I need to make it myself, though. These kcup machines are neat, put a cup in, press a button and presto, fresh coffee.

    I'd like to meet the idiot who's design almost killed me.

    I drive a 2007 Hummer H2, a truck I generally like the look and feel of. However, their throttle design leaves a bit to be desired. There is no drive by wire, it's two throttle position sensors in the pedal and throttle body. It measures voltage and opens the throttle a set distance for the...

    Accidentally bought a zero turn mower

    These things happen, right? So I was hunting for a ~20hp diesel engine for a generator project I was working on. My budget was $400-500 depending on the condition. I wanted something that I wouldn't have to rebuild. As luck would have it, I found a guy selling one for $500, under 1000...

    Belt length

    The belt on my finish mower snapped today. I laid it out and measured 110" total length. That means the outside length is 110" right? And the inside would be shorter. I found these guys: https://www.gprindustrial.com/en/2132-v-belts-classic-b-section/276-B107-classic-vbelt.html $7 for a...

    Cleaned the workshop today

    When I'm working on a big project that takes weeks, I seldom do much cleaning between sessions. Well now that the kubota is ready it was time to clean up. Every time I'm amazed at how many tools I have.

    Added power steering to my kubota

    The steering shaft broke on my kubota b8200 when I took it out to clear snow a couple months ago. I've spent some time since then converting my tractor to power steering. There were no universal kits available so I had to start from the ground up. My hydraulic block had a dedicated supply and...

    City living

    I live in the same neighborhood I grew up in. It was rural, filled with farm land and pastures. I loved it so much I bought a house a block away. The schools were great, things were local, but not congested. In the past 15 years though, this has changed dramatically. Developments replaced...

    Starting up haying in PA?

    I've been tinkering with tractors and was thinking it might be fun to get into some actual production I do two acres of corn locally for fun/neighbors, but I was thinking of adding a cash crop in my spare time. I have the opportunity to pick up 10 acres about an hour away for fairly cheap...

    Stupid weather

    Nothing more than a dusting of snow all year. Wife and I planned to take a trip to Las Vegas for Valentines. See a couple shows, visit the Hoover Dam, and maybe run out to the Grand Canyon. We're not gamblers, but they have some pretty nice attractions out there. Our flight leaves Thursday...

    OT Physical therapy billing

    I've spent my fair share of time in physical therapy, but this recent one was for my daughter. She dislocated her shoulder, and the doctor said she should get physical therapy to strengthen it up. So we make an appointment for the initial consult. We go in and they take our insurance, and say...

    Tractor hoods

    I don't understand it. Tractor hoods almost exclusively open forward. This is "ok" in most cases, but you get much better access to the engine with it opening backwards. Not to mention most cabs block the ability to open the hood. I changed mine by cutting it and adding hinges and mounting...

    Put a remote start on my kubota

    As part of my cab project I decided to give remote start a go. I'm using 2 wireless relay boxes from china, about $8 each, plus a 30a relay for the glow plugs. One relay bypasses the key switch to ON, the other is a 2 relay system which bypasses the starter and activates the starter solenoid and...
