    First mow of the season

    I gotta change the oil, etc., clean up the deck better and spray it with Fluid Film, and change out a belt on the LX176 tomorrow. I'm only about a week behind on starting mowing, but rain every other day almost - heavy rains yesterday. Gotta let it dry out some, mow Sun or Mon. The grass...

    Chain Question

    You might want to investigate the source of their chans and rachets. On other sites, I've heard of Chinese chain and binders being sold as grade 70, but made with an inferior steel and therefore not meeting advertised specs.

    backhoe oil level

    Hi, jplauzon, and welcome to NetTrctorTalk! I am not familiar with your machine, other than it is an industrial model. However, a quick search of the web found a source for a manual, here: http://www.repairmanual.com/tractors/10/1868. Hope that helps. Maybe someone else on the forum will...

    Kubota BX25

    Hi, trackeer, and welcome to Net Tractor Talk! The BX series, including the BX25, are all subcompacts. The only model JD offers in this size is the 2305, which is a nice machine. It is available with a factory installed 260 backhoe, their attempt to match the BX25. If you don't need a backhoe...

    I finally stopped lurking and joined.

    Welcome, shvl73. I can't believe they did that to you - so far, I haven't been banned over there, but give me time.... They've banned a lot of good folks, and censored messages from a lot more. I try to be entirely non-controversial when I post over there, and when someone argues with my...

    Roller cabinets, who has one and are they worth it?

    I got a great deal on my roll around set at Sears Father's Day sale last year. The contents of two crammed tool boxes plus several loose tools have now been put into my cabinet. I found that logically organizing my tools took up almost all the space in the cabinet, despite the much larger size.

    Wha' beez dis ........... ?

    This particular logging arch appears to be a small one, as arches went back in the '40s and '50s. They were generally pulled by a bulldozer which was equipped with a rear winch. Hyster, Isaacson, and Carco were all popular arches in the PNW, and all were manufactured there IIRC. Most of the...

    VHF Batteries

    Hello, Miltades. I found your battery with a search of the internet for $62.95 USD, here, about halfway down the page, on the right hand side: http://shopping.microbattery.com/s.nl/sc.2/category.592/.f. I don't know anything about these folks, but their website indicates that they will ship...

    Monkeys

    Once upon a time a man appeared in a village and announced to the villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10 each. The villagers, seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest and started catching them. The man bought thousands at $10 and, as supply started to diminish...

    New guy from Pa.

    Hello, 02dmaxx, and welcome to the forums! Feel free to browse and post often. Is that a '58 dodge in your avatar? I always liked the '50s Dodge trucks - especially a '51 model D pickup dually, and any year Power Wagon, later the WM300. Fred

    GM's Saturn brand may sell Mahindra cars here

    I think this statement alludes to a major part of the problem in our boom/bust economy. Wall Street demands results this quarter, and deemphasizes future results. Thus any publicly traded company is hard pressed to come up with strategic solutions, because all their effort must be put into...

    did you vote early?

    Since I'm off from home, voted absentee, express mailed my ballot Friday to be sure it counts. It took me almost three weeks from requesting it to get the application by mail, send it in priority mail, and get the ballot back by mail. Left me no time to be sure of arrival back in time, and...
