I thought it would have been a grade 1, but that is what was in it from the dealer. I guess I should probably get the manual out and read what it says. In the FWIW, I haven't broken it in 12 years - even though it is worn down super thin.

Grade 5. There was a bit of thought about going to a RFM, but I've kinda put it out of my mind for general mowing - though I've thought about one in addition to for mowing under trees and such. The F-I-L sold an almost new KingKutter last year for about $800. Didn't have the extra cash at the...

Thought I would post a follow up to this. I still haven't replaced the clutch on the tractor, though it is still bad. I've gotten by with it for the summer. Thank goodness for hydrostat, I can put it in range by the hydro pedal being in neutral. I can use the MMM by shutting the tractor off...

That wasn't my sig, I remember it, but don't know whose it was. Right now I'm thinking my signature fits pretty well. If I'm mowing and stop and walk up to my wife, the first words out of her mouth are "What did you break now and how much is it going to cost?"

This season has been off to a rough mowing season start because of MMM issues, I think I finally got those worked out only to have the tractor bite me now. I was mowing Saturday, I stopped to clean the radiator and when I went to get back on, I couldn't engage the MMM - the gears kept...

Kidding season has started. We started with the little Pygmy name Skylar almost 4 weeks ago. She wasn't supposed to be bred, but accidents happen. We weren't sure who exactly got her (we didn't know she was bred until mid December). We just knew it wasn't a Pygmy as we don't have a Pygmy Buck...

Thanks Jerry, never in my wildest dreams did I dream that I would be doing something like this. Of course, I still can't believe how much all of this stuff costs either. $8 for a feed trough doesn't sound expensive, but when you have 15 of them, plus 8 more expensive ones for shows, and then...

Thought I would post a little update. Still been working on the wiring, but that is a very slow process. By having to boot the goats out, I'm limited in the time because of having to let them eat breakfast, have to stop early and let them back in for dinner, then don't forget the days it is...

He would like to :)

Not much progress has been made on getting the barn wired. Between getting ready for the state fair, going to the state fair, getting ready for the county fair, going to the county fair, and finally recuperating from two fairs, not much has happened since we just returned home on Sunday. But we...

What about something like this: 2" Hitch Crane or Pickup Truck Bed Crane

Thanks Jerry always the wealth of all things electrical. Here is a picture of my install of the box. Yes, this is inside, don't let the weeds fool you. I had left this part of the part unfilled until I go the electric in so I didn't have to dig it back out to run the conduit.:idea: Once the...

I'm on the other side of this spectrum - to an extent. My daughter (my daughter is 14 and pretty responsible) had let our older black lab out last Monday night. They were playing and having fun. She had been running and got hot and thirsty. She went in the house to get something to drink. While...

Between bushhogging, tilling the garden (I know way late), mowing all of the grass for the first time this year, filling the trench for the electric to the barn, and starting to break some dirt up with the scraper blade getting ready to haul it into the barn, I've probably put 20-25 hours on the...

WE HAVE POWER IN THE BARN!!!!:thewave: Actually I finally got it hooked up last week. :tiphat: This isn't the full barn wired with power, but the breaker box and a duplex outlet that I can run extension cords from. At least we don't have cords running through the yard that every time it rained...

Pretty good weekend at the Flowering Goat Farm. I got the tractor back running Friday morning. Friday evening another couple came and bought the Toggenburgs (Millie & Zuri). These are the same ones that were bought and returned a couple of weeks ago. This man and woman seemed really happy with...

Good news!!!!:thewave: I found the source of the leak, I had replaced the test port adaptors because I hadn't removed them and bent them when I was trying to split the tractor. I couldn't get the plugs out of the old ones so I just went to Advance Auto (I know there was my mistake) and got some...

%$#@@!!@#$$%^**(*&*%*&%&^%&$#$%#^#^%^%$%^$%^$*&^&(*(&*(&^*(^&%^&$%&^&^%&^%&^%^&%&%&:14_6_12: I was able to get everything back together enough to get it started and moving. Only thing missing really is the hood and ROPS. The good news is everything works - high/low range, both brakes, all...

Made a little bit of progress last night. I went to put the new washers for the drain plugs on the rear axles and mid-PTO that I picked up yesterday. They were the incorrect size. So no hydraulic fluid yet last night. Ended up putting the other step on and the front support for the seat. Then I...

Oh, BTW, I filled the pump with hydraulic fluid before I connected the lines - at least the best I could. Then I filled both the hydraulic and hydrostat filters with fluid before installing. Not sure, if there is much else I can do at this point to "prime" the pump. I'm not sure which way is...
