    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!

    Small Tractors? Massey Ferguson 230?

    Since I feel like I'm becoming known for making dumb mistakes... Can someone suggest a decent way to add a foot to the blade I have? I feel like it's an easy task but every time I feel that way I mess up, costing time and money. I want a stand, of sorts, to add to the blade, that I can fold up...

    New member - advice on used backhoe

    I will add to the heavy comment. I first rented a backhoe, for a week, to take care of a list of things to do around the house. The rental made it so I had limited time and a lot of that time the ground was wetter than I realized, which led to lots of ruts, that made for a bumpy yard that still...

    New member - advice on used backhoe

    Welcome to HEF @farmn I'm with @rumblecloud in my lack of knowledge, but lots of good, smart people here. I have a pre-computered New Holland lb75b (maybe) that I'm happy with, when it starts. I think most of us here would agree with @JL Sargent that pre-computer is likely the way to go. I also...

    Computers anyone?

    I have a 2017 Civic Si, that has been tuned to increase the power a bit. I've read (on a computer) that sometimes that has caused the problem below and sometimes it it happens to untuned cars. I fire the car up and a couple times now all the dashboard warnings light up and every computer...

    What's your hoe doing?

    I need to bone up on my volt meter skills. I don't really know anything about that junk but it's probably about time I learn... Thanks for the suggestions guys.

    What's your hoe doing?

    As per usual Swetz comes in with something helpful, regardless of whether it fixes my problem or not. Thanks man! I guess I should also mention that the clicking I hear is just one faint click, upon turning the key full on. Not a click-click-click-click-click etc. I hear it again when I release...

    What's your hoe doing?

    The battery cables were good a couple days ago. I guess with the slow roll of this happening, where it took a try or two, then took a couple tries, then won't turn on at all, maybe something isn't right with them. I should have a schematic in one of my books, now if I understand the schematic...

    What's your hoe doing?

    Well, my hoe decided, yesterday, that it no longer wants to start. The past few times I've used her there have been a time or two where I turn the key, the dash lights up properly, and nothing happens. I'd then mess with the direction shifter to make sure she was in neutral, then it'd fire up...

    donated impletments

    Ha! They are still buried in the yard! They are the last couple things my wife has not made me move behind the barn yet as they are off to the side and grass have grown over them well, so they aren't easy to see.
