    What's your hoe doing?

    Great @cosmaar! Mine still sits with whatever the non-starting issue is. I keep finding other things to do than diagnose its trouble.

    Replacing halogen with leds

    Dave, I've heard the same thing with cities that installed LED stop lights. After the first good snow they realized a benefit of old school bulbs.

    What's your hoe doing?

    Looks like a box blade would do me nicely... The driveway looks great!

    NH Lb75.b Sticky Throttle

    Thanks for this write up and the tips @thepumpguysc . This is happening on my machine as well, same year, same model. I've just been dealing with it but now I'll have somewhere to check. It'd be nice for the machine to drop back down to idle when I let off the throttle. How did you mark the...

    Owner of some Heavy Equipment passed away

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I'm not sure of the amount of time for it to not feel insensitive but she probably wants stuff out and the money. "I'll give you 500 bucks for this pile of stuff."

    Owner of some Heavy Equipment passed away

    Again, thanks y'all. I appreciate the suggestions. Porsche is already gone, Carvana I guess. My wife was home the first time they (Carvana) showed up and said they were there for like 3 hours trying to get things running so they could get the Porsche out of the garage. Nuts. I'd be interested...

    Owner of some Heavy Equipment passed away

    Thanks guys. I'm not sure what she will want to do, really. I can certainly help some but I'm not smart enough, and don't really have the time to get smart enough about the bulldozer to help much beyond pointing her to a good avenue for that kind of sale. Also, for my own liability's sake I'd...

    Owner of some Heavy Equipment passed away

    Hey Gang, I just learned that my neighbor has passed away, leaving his wife with a few pieces of equipment that she has no understanding of. He's got a bulldozer (I've previously mentioned) that he was trying to get running, a skid steer, and likely some other stuff that I'm not sure about. I...

    Hydraulic Attachment First Time Use

    That thing looks like it'd be mighty handy! I don't have the money to get some fancy tractor with the brush cutting arms, but something like this would rock to trim back around the yard! Honeysuckle be damned!

    Small Tractors? Massey Ferguson 230?

    I used angle iron but otherwise used the suggestion above. It has worked beautifully, other than I didn't realize the weight was fairly biased toward the back of the blade. Nothing a cinder block can't cure. My welding job is hacky as per usual. Also, this is a reasonably priced blade from...

    Operators and Booze

    I'm surprised how many of us know Trailer Park Boys.

    Operators and Booze

    My parents were hippies and would admit to it. The ones that don't are, in my opinion, a societal problem. Nothing wrong with doing things in your past and learning from them.

    Republic Oil 5% Moly #1 Heavy Duty High Temp Grease

    I'm currently using Schaeffers as well, and almost out. I looked at the price recently and almost fell off my bike. It's nice to hear of other options that are much less expensive.

    Operators and Booze

    I don't have much to add to the conversation other than I'm a drinker from a family of good natured, light alcoholics. I think we all have the ability to not drink, but we enjoy having a cocktail or beer when we can. I've gotten into bourbon and to ease the expense and the amount I drink I...

    Small Tractors? Massey Ferguson 230?

    That's a good suggestion, and well enough explained that I actually understand! Thanks!
