    Intro and new to me MF50a TLB

    Welcome to the 'club' Hood... wonderful to see work getting done with old iron! Your 'hole dirt' looks awful clean ... is that native soil or fill? And I see you have 'inspectors' in your county ;)

    What's your hoe doing?

    Our build is all electric... as in heat pump water heater, 'lectric range, dryer.. and 72K btu's worth of minisplits. Hope to capture some of those photons on site in the near future. The propane will fire a wall boiler for the radiant system that will be used in the coldest time of year...

    What's your hoe doing?

    One of the last, 'must do' jobs for the season ( any more is gravy ;) ) was trenching for the propane line. The start.. trench open... bedded and 'marked' final.... So... we have 'enough' of a "final rough grade" finished to 1. Shed water and 2. get us ok'd for occupancy. Some...

    What's your hoe doing?

    Thumbs up on the 'new' unit.... those come in handy! As for the pond.... I'll bring a rod and some brew! Inside.... we are covering walls/ceilings.

    What's your hoe doing?

    Since my 'unpaid volunteer' assistant is out of town visiting kids, I took the time to screen some fill. This stuff came from next door and has some good topsoil mixed with it.... but also lots of broken shale/rocks. I should be able to feather some of my stashed topsoil on top and have some...

    Case 480c Starts then dies...and other questions

    frankdb, I had the 'flex ring' issue with the hoe I bought...... and thepumpguy took care of me and mine.... for a lot less $$ than your thinking. Not to mention the invaluable advice needed to do the removal and re-install..... and I had no experience with a diesel. If you need to pull the...
