Um, Doc, that is the first thing I tried, and it did not fix the problem. Anyone else? Bob

I have a BX2200 that I bought new at the end of 2000. It has been a good tractor until this year. Earlier this year I had a lot of hydraulic hose leaks. Many of the leaking hoses were under the tractor, and almost impossible to get to without a major disassembly of the tractor. The dealer...

I can tell a funny story about bad battery cables. One evening I hooked up the battery charger to let the batteries charge overnight. Went out early the next morning and disconnected the charger, and started to drive away. Heard a loud explosion that scared the dickens out of me. Opened the...

Cowboy, I'm not familiar with Harley's, but have 2 Club Car golf carts that are 36 volts. Your symptoms could be caused by a bad battery or two. Check each battery to ensure it is good. Assuming you have a 36 volt system with six 6-volt batteries: each battery should read around 7 - 8 volts...

Where and when do we report? rlk

Mith, I bought a KingKutter finish mower from Tractor Supply. They are good mowers for grass but don't do well in high weeds or grass. While it will cut the high stuff, you have to go very slow and. Also, for an old man like me, the belts are very difficult to install. If you go the finish...

It takes a better man than me to run that big Stihl. Bob

John, I have no experience with unions, and only base my opinions on what I read and a few observations. (Unions are few and far between in North Carolina.) Some reasons I think they have been detrimental are: I read an article about union crane operators somewhere in the North East. The...

I did not vote early or by absentee because I don't trust the election people to count these votes. That is probably a cynical position for me to take, but when they try to keep from allowing the military votes to count, what confidence do I have that they will count my vote if I vote early or...

John, I agree with your statements, however, I believe the unions carry a lot of the blame as far as what happened to Michigan and Ohio. Bob

Ron, what kind of attachments can you use with it? Bob

Tom, my H is a 1952. According to the guy I bought the H from, the wide front end is original. I had never seen a wide front end on an H, however, a little research showed it was an option. I like the wide front end, especially when mowing around the pond. I get very nervous being on a...

Tom, I have a restored Farmall H. I didn't do the restoration, but have done a lot of work on it that was not done correctly. In my opinion, a simple tune-up will not resolve the problem of no fire at the plugs, however, a tune-up can not hurt anything. I think you will have to dig deeper...

I wash mine occasionally - 2 or 3 times a year. If it has to go in for service, I make sure to wash it prior to it going to the shop. I have always thought that if you take a dirty piece of equipment in for service, the technicians will tend to treat it differently than a clean piece of...

Thanks to the suggestions so far. Today I ordered a new oil pan gasket. I wanted to make sure I could the gasket prior to dropping the pan. I believe I'll drop the pan to see how much sludge is in the pan, then make a decision as to what to do. Since the engine is running well, I would like...

Ed, do you flush the crankcase with K1, or do you let the K1 sit in the crankcase for a while? Thanks, Bob

I am restoring a Farmall H. Today I drained the oil, and was disappointed to see all the sludge that came out. Some of it was thick enough that you could scrape it with a putty knife. The oil filter looked as if it has never been changed. What is the best way to get the sludge out of the...

Nice deck Dean. What size are your floor joists? I could not tell from the photographs. Bob

Doug, I have tickets to see the same concert in Raleigh on Dec 20. Tell me what was wrong with it. Thanks. Bob

Thanks, Doc. Works like a champ. Bob
