It looks like a few days of rain are forecasted soon. I used the back blade on Elvis Chompers the other day to yank out some 4’ tall weeds growing where my intended food plots will be. Next I’ll probably try to mow and chop some of it up, then run the tiller across it. I’d love for the rain to be on the way and I can broadcast and rake in the seeds for a good soak. The food plots have moved and I don’t have enough hose to run an ample water supply out to feed the seeds.

@wallfish I love your drawings! They are always so straight to the point. I am sure I’m probably over engineering a small issue. I found out about wet patches for pools. They work under water, and don’t require draining. I’m pretty decent at snorkeling. Here in the next week or two I’ll let the water get low so the bottom is closer to the surface. I’ll try out the wet patch and see if our water level issue slows.

Can you see where the smoke is Joe. If a belt is burning it has to be slipping in the driving pulley(PTO) or the driven pulley(center deck).

I grew up watching cheezy horror movies with my 3 siblings. It was always a fun time!

You bring up an excellent point. LOZ makes the news for lots of weird things. It’s a hotspot of activity for the citizenry of MO where drinking, boating, and bad judgement collide. And there is a lot of haphazard DIY work going on. Dock shock incidents seem to happen with grizzly regularity there. Swimmers around docks are fine, then suddenly one (or more of them) perish while in the water. Many times, the victims aren’t even swimming around a dock that has power. It can be a neighbor’s dock or even one across the cove. What’s been found is that all it takes is for an electrical leak to enter the water somewhere in the vicinity. Water itself isn’t electrically conductive, the things ionized into it make it conductive. Heterogeneous concentrations of conductive agents mean that current isn’t conducted predictably between the leaking electrical source and its grounding point and instead can meander around finding the ever changing paths of least resistance on its way to ground. if a swimmer happens to get into one of those meandering paths, it is tragic. Several deaths have occurred when the victim approached or grabbed the ladder to climb back out of the water as the current had been using the ladder as its path back home. It is incredibly unpredictable where it might go. The poor conductivity of freshwater makes the current path for any leakages a wild animal. A properly functioning GFCI on every supply can reduce the tendency for these phantom electrical currents to claim victims, but their placement is critical and they need to be on every supply. In light of how tragic this has been in recent summers it’s a bad idea to swim around any docks that have power routed to them. Steve

@JOEPOE1977 that cage bearing needs a thorough wipe / and flush out , first , then a very light coating of a POLYUREA RATED , lubricant , ? mininises sling off , also 550 deg flash point, so it does not, dry out , into a drag point . lucas xtra hd , green chassis grease , easily meets those specs . my pto cone easily spins by hand , when disengaged , also replace the outer bearing napa pp204rr6, the burn spots on the disc , are showing / telling you what's hanging up , collective / combined rotational drag , is typically lubrication failure , that also shows up in belt edge wear . every stage of that , needs , functional detailing , not as difficult as it sounds , pete

Nice driving car, my mom had one in blue. The trunk was massive. And the car was so easy to fix. Nothing like we have now.

The lawn in our back yard has a lot of clover in it. The deer love the blossoms so I don't mow it until they have grazed on the sweet flowers.

520H: Changing transmission oil & filter
953 nut replied to ZTatZAU's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Once you start the engine about a half quart of oil will be pumped into the new filter. -
There are tiger lilies in ditches and yards all over here. Except my place. I have always been fond of them, and hope someday they will migrate over. Our farmer is very proud of the way he manicures our road frontage. Having 2 miles of total perimeter, that makes about a mile of road frontage to mow. I wouldn’t mind if it grows up a bit but I see his allure. It does look nice when he trims it up. I was showing Tay last night where I put them. A rabbit was in close proximity checking out the place. I wonder how long they will last.

That Olds, the owner has had for 65 years. It’s got a 455 in it, and he used regularly drive it from Michigan to Kentucky, like monthly or more. He’s built it more than 3 times. It was a delivery sedan, and he’s had it back and forth numerous times, but he likes his seat laid back too much so he took the delivery parts out for good. He had 4.10:1 gears in it for the road trips for many years too, then went to a 2.70:1! He said that big block would sing to the tune of 3,000 rpm’s on the road. Now it has a Holley Dominator EFI setup. He’s widened the frame, built different suspensions, tubbed it 8”, and it gets about 14 mpgs. I don’t recall the transmission, I want to say 4L80E? Now the intake. Years back, WestTech Performance out in southern California was running scuba tank intake charges of sorts and they had these individual runners to streamline the airflow through the carb. This is all on my memory, so I think I’m close. He loved the way it looked, so he built that intake setup because he had the room to do it. It’s a 4 into 1 exhaust collector and has a conical splitter inside to help direct the airflow as well. Behind the grille that he built, you may see the intake pipe split and run to two large air breathers. He said that helped his MPGs greatly and he’s always liked the look.

on that Impala. My Uncle traded his 57 Belair in for a brand new 65 Impala SS with one of the very first 396 Big Blocks. They switched from the 348/409's mid year. Aqua in color. I loved riding in it watching the in dash vacuum gauge!

42in SD spindles not taking grease
gwest_ca-(File Mod) replied to TC10284's topic in Implements and Attachments
Does this apply to yours? -
Making more progress on the F-1310.

just a side note don't overdo the grease on that cage bearing, it will bleed out onto you clutch plate and you will have another problem, slipping clutch plate.

520H: Changing transmission oil & filter

Thanks for that additional info, Don! -
What did I do? Not much. Walked the dog, filled the truck with gas, and cleared a couple of small projects off of my bench. One of those small projects was assembling a Milwaukee cultivator head. Of course, I had to go out and try it. Wouldn't want to break sod or do the initial springtilling with it, but it works pretty well. Since I had that power head out, I swapped over to the string trimmer and did the lake shore.

No sir. The bend on that one is backwards from what I used. You want the shorter leg on the front and the hoop facing up. Otherwise it will interfere with the PTO engagement. You'll have to weld whichever end shut that is open and add an adapter closer to the middle to make it the way I did. I used a reducer from the auto parts store and flattened it to an oval on the manifold side.

Wheel Horse D series rear lift cylinder issues
tractorhogg replied to tractorhogg's topic in Implements and Attachments
Here is a picture Bob ranger sent me and a picture of mine, see how much further his rood goes in and the angle of the bracket, our unions are not that different to explain the differences. -
The simplest way to learn about the power plant is google "Turney, MO power plant". I really don't understand a lot about the actual plant. It's gas turbine and my 92 year old mom fusses about all of the infrastructure on her farm. Three petroleum lines including one pumping station and basically two steel towered power lines. I told her that she and dad just chose the wrong location 64 years ago.

42in side discharge deck on a 312-8. Since I've had it, I haven't been able to get grease in the spindles. Tonight I took off the nut and lock washer, and the pulley off each spindle. I cleared out the holes in the shaft so grease could flow. I confirmed they were flowing by using my grease gun while the shaft was still out if the spindle. It did flow. I put the shaft back on the spindle, put the lock washer and nut back on. Tightened it down with the air impact and NOT MUCH! After tightening it down with the impact some, and testing to see if I could get grease to flow, it does not. Now it is coming out of the gap in the lock washer on top and I am at a loss.
