    Found these old JD side rakes at an old farm site

    Really cool. We have an old road grader that was horse drawn and then in later years pulled by a Ford NAA.

    Does anybody know?

    We set a jar of sugar water near our table out on the back deck with a drop of dish detergent in it. The dish detergent lowers the surface tension of the water and the yellow jackets cannot land on it, they sink and drown. We do away with hundreds of them weekly with this cheap bee trap.

    We're Number One!

    I've been signalled that I am number one on occaision. Hmmm, seems mostly to occur when on the highway, oh wait, that is a different kind of number one.

    Hydrualic cylinder question

    The 3" ram you speak of, is that a 3" rod? If so that will speed up the return stroke some. Anyhoo, with an 8" cylinder and 2000 psi, you will have 50 tons of force. What are you planning to split? It may be a little overkill. The pump will likely only kick down on some pretty tough stuff...

    Does your body temp adjust to wood heat?

    We have fuel oil fired hydronic (hot-water) heat in the house that we used for about 15 years. Baseboard radiators, and 4 zones. When I first installed it (in place of heating with a double-door Alaska Kodiak wood stove) fuel was about $0.56 per gallon. A couple of years ago, when fuel hit...

    O.K. guys, help me out here, what is soft maple? We have a lot of sugar maple in this area, better than poplar but not great.

    To mild to burn in my neck of the woods.

    Good temp to make creosote, you gotta keep the stove choked down tight. Can't open enough windows to keep the house a reasonable temp and ain't gonna run the A/C. I am not complaining, I would like to have this weather until March and then warm up.

    Menards 22 ton Splitter $799.00 in this weeks ad

    You can usually wrangle TSC to sell it for $999. Pretty good deal for a splitter.

    Flu season

    The vitamin D supposedly helps your body absorb calcium too. I take one with the calcium supplement. Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron. Us old farts know all this for a reason.

    Flu season

    O.K. guys, I don't know if this works because I think it works, or it works because there is some science behind it, but when I feel the very first symptom of a cold or flu (scratchy throat, chest congestion, etc.), I take 2000mg of vitamin C, 2 capsules of echinacea every four hours and zicam...

    I have a confession...Time for a reaming

    A good reaming is in order. Hmmm, come to think of it, I could use a good reaming myself, oh wait, wrong forum.

    I Need Some Help

    Thanks my friend, all fixed now. I couldn't tell what page or options to use because I don't read a lick of Spanish. Again, thanks.

    Huskee 35T Splitter Help

    A suction leak introduces air into the pump and can wreak havoc on said pump. Don't run it until it is fixed.

    I Need Some Help

    Hi guys, probably not the right place for this, but I need some help. How do I reset the language to English? For some reason the language got set to Spanish and I can't tell how to get it back to English. Somebody help a fella out here?

    chimney fire or close to it ?

    I had a chimney fire some years ago, and I can tell you for a fact, you will KNOW if you have one. The story about sounding like a frieght train running through your living room is not the least bit exaggerated.

    NTN 6202c3 crank bearings made in Taiwan should I be concerned

    Here at work some of our pumps came with Koyo as OEM stuff and they seem OK. Usually, we fail pump bearings by doing something wrong, dead head the pump or contaminated lube for instance. There are a few here that are approaching 17 years of run time with the OEM Koyo bearings in them. (They...

    Huskee/Speeco 22T won't start in the cold (even mild cold)

    I have the exact same splitter (Huskee 22T) and on a cold start, after five plunges on the primer it starts first, second or third pull. Only time I have to pull several times is when I let it run out of gas, so I try to refuel now before that happens and it restarts easily. I have not tried...

    Wood Splitters and Cord per Hour

    Don't know if anyone else voted like I did, but I did not have an educated idea, so I voted on the one I owned so that I could see the results. If others did the same, this could skew the results considerably.

    What fuel in your splitter?

    I use Sunoco 93 in everything. Splitter, snowblower, lawnmower, rototiller and generator get stabil. Saws and trimmer get ethanol stabil and Stihl Ultra. Have not had any problems thus far.
