    Frozen clutch - dissolve rust with Coke?

    Back around 1960 I was moonlighting at a service station in a rural area. More than once I heard folks recommend putting Coke in an automatic tranny to solve slipping issues.......putting sugar and water into a transmission?????? Not my cup of tea.

    fill cracks in tractor tires

    I have a JD model N poop slinger that still has the original tires, cracked all over but hold air with a leak down rate comparable to some new tires. I had to quit using it last year as one of the links on the ladder chain broke causing a cross brace to punch through the floor and tear up a...

    fill cracks in tractor tires

    The leather was common practice where I grew up and was only mentioned for Babbit Bearings on Chevy 6's which were popular (as were Ford flat head V8s......but they had head cracking problems) at the time.

    Rattle Can Paint

    What I do is spray the nozzle immediately after each use. Doubt it will work on a clogged nozzle that has dried.

    Update on Thistle spraying

    Read the application charts on the bottles of 2-4-D. If they have the round cell structure, you probably have a winner with it. I am continually impressed how that with a surfectant will turn a pasture full of weeds and a little grass, into 100% grass in a year or two.

    Battery weed eater

    I use a Ryobi which comes with a double sized battery as compared to the ones in their regular tools. Batteries last a reasonable amount of time and I have half a dozen in other tools so I just take some spares with me on big jobs. It does a good job on grass but if I am in heavy stuff, or...

    Looking for yard tractor

    On your Terramite bucket, that is an impressive log for that tractor to be lifting and looking at the bucket surely you ensure that it can't come loose and roll back on you. On an open station tractor you are a lot more vulnerable but it has happened with rolled hay, killing the driver. Any...

    Looking for yard tractor

    Lots of LS popping up around here in various sizes. On resale value, the machine sells itself. I can't afford an orange or green.

    Rattle Can Paint

    Don't even have to do that. Just point the Brake Parts Cleaner nozzle at the hole in the end of the spray head and give it a squirt.

    Rattle Can Paint

    That doesn't always work for 2 reasons: 1. Some cans are spray in any position; 2. if you do a lot of short squirting, you run out of CO2 before you run out of paint.

    ATV/lawn mower hydraulic lift

    Most of my mowers, Ferris 61", Chraftsman 46, and Hysqvarna 46 do the same thing. It does allow me adequate room to do what needs to be done underneath.

    ATV/lawn mower hydraulic lift

    I never had nor wanted a Cadillac. I guess I just missed out on all the goodies associated with that level of automobile. Glad for you.

    Looking for yard tractor

    I have Houston Black Clay. I had problems getting it to move with a 100HP JD 4230 with cab. So if you want to work it you do it on its terms......has to be moist, not dry, not wet. I agree that a small tractor that you buy for odd jobs around the farm is not designed for heavy work....if you...

    Looking for yard tractor

    I bought a 2021 LS MT2-25s with a FEL which is a Hydro machine at the recommendation of the dealer....I was thinking about a different 25 HP LS model but he convinced me that the operator's station and operator's conveniences are superior to another 25 hp that I was thinking about......and...

    Vintage Chainsaw Fuel Mix

    I used to use that Stihl oil in my Stihl 2 strokers but i had some wear issues, I guess since it is a bottle to a gallon of gas making 50:1. I started using Poulan syn. which is a 40:1 mix and have not had any more problems.....really disappointed that Stihl Premium Syn. let me down. One thing...
