    What are you doing with your Tractor this weekend

    The pool itself is finished. No pix yet because it looks pretty darn ugly sitting up like a sore thumb. Ordered the materials for the deck -- over 1,000 sq ft of it, added to the 360 sq ft of deck already in place. Like I said in the earlier message, the house is elevated a little more than 4...

    Vacation time, what are your plans

    A couple of weekend RV trips in Florida, then a Celebrity 7 day cruise to Alaska at the end of August. We're departing from Vancouver, but didn't allow any time for visiting on this trip -- we're using something called "US Direct", which is where we fly from the USA to Vancouver, board a bus to...

    What are you doing with your Tractor this weekend

    We've been putting in an above ground pool, lots of grading, and got to use the excavator to rough out the deep end. The pool has an expandable liner so we can get down to 6' at one end. We're hard plumbing it, so I just finished trenching for the pipes a few minutes ago. My "expert" pool...

    Can't get into low range

    My belt is self-retracting, er --it was, at one time, and still is, sorta, except the last few inches are permanently exposed. And, yes, it did get upside down in a 10' wide x 20' long x 10' deep hole we dug to bury some landscape debris. I forgot the hole was there (it hadn't been there the...

    Can't get into low range

    Fixed it. The plastic seat belt housing broke, probably from exposure (the poor tractor has been sitting outside for over 5 years). The seat belt uncoiled itself one turn. The metal buckle got caught in the linkage. I pulled it free and tied it up (never use the thing in totally flat...

    Still have the Sprinter, still love it. It's a 2005 model; we bought it in late 2005 so we have had it 3-1/2 years. It's approaching 50K miles. Have not had one serious problem with it; it's the first motor home we have had that hasn't had at least one thing break on every trip. My DW bought...

    Can't get into low range

    My TC18 with Hydrostatic tranny has been almost flawless for over 1500 hours, but a problem reared it's head today. It started by being a bit difficult to engage the low range, and within minutes I couldn't get it into low range at all. It was late when it happened, so I put it away for the...

    Giving it a try

    Since I have had little luck with previous tractor-type forums, I swore off them for some time. I found this one while searching for a solution for a problem with my tractor. I see several old familiar names, and most of the names I see are ones I considered "good guys", so I'll give it a try...
