Had a great Time with my RJ pushing 4” of wet snow. Pushed with ease even without weights or chains, but ground isn’t frozen solid yet. Tried to represent those old ads of those Pipe Smokers.

Looks better than factory.

2026 RedSquare Calendar is available for download!
953 nut replied to nylyon-(Admin)'s topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Please educate me, I have the calendar downloaded to my laptop but can't figure out how to transfer it to a flash drive. Neverminded, I just figured it out. -
I did the math on the heat transfer, i.e. heat saved, vs. the cost of electricity, cost of periodic element replacement, and, of course, purchase/install costs with ductwork. Break even was 30+ years. There were one or two units capable of handling cooled air but the losses due to cold water condensation going down the drain (literally, plus the potential for extra maintenance) made them nonsensical for us. In both cases, one has to highly value exchanging inside air for outside air to justify part of the cost.

Funny you should bring this up. I went from well water (pump burnt up) to city water a while back and my hot water is a lot hotter than it used to be. I thought I had left water heater full while working on install of water, took a couple days considering had to dig a ditch and such . I think somehow the elements must have cleaned themselves off while being low on water because the water is a lot hotter. I did learn a lot about this new PEX plumbing stuff and how much easier it is to work with. I was worried about going from cooper to PEX but was nothing to it. I have been in this house for 20 year , and it was here when I moved in so if it gives up the ghost I can't complain, I guess.

Water heater is acting oddly. Yesterday, the morning shower was hotter than usual - had to mix way more cold water in than usual. Today, it wasn't even close to being tepid. It is an electric AO Smith unit that was installed in 2003. Checked the breaker in the panel - not tripped, but cycled it anyway. I pulled the the covers on the thermostats. Settings weren't changed and everything looked normal. Then I notice a red button on the upper thermostat. Shine the flashlight on the 6 point molded in lettering on it, which said 'reset'. What the heck, I'm game for a smoke test. Put my screw driver on the button, looked the other way and gave it a push. No flash, no drama. It clicked and I could hear gurgles from the heating elements. That got it going - for now anyhow. I downloaded the user's manual for it to see what I had just reset. Not really helpful. Themanual had one sentence stating that the thermostat had a manual reset button for an 'eco' over temperature. Ought to start thinking about a replacement. Back to researching on demand units. The one we installed in the lake house seems to have worked out OK, but it is only supplying a shower and 2 sinks. The house would add a washing machine and a dishwasher to the list of things to run.

Hydraulic oil filter base ready to be installed. Note the extra set of holes for the filter base mount in the fender support bracket. The two rear holes are used for rigid supply and return tubing to the valve and the front holes are used when rubber hoses are used for the supply and return lines. Hydraulic oil filter base installed. Hydraulic return line fittings tightened at rear axle and filter base.

That size is not original to a 856. The 6-12 would be Those are from a later tractor like a B or C series - and the wider tires DO give you a wider track and more stability. New same size as what you have tires may be the way to go.

I saw the threads are worn and probably the mail reason the spring cap popped off the spring when I hit a curb or concrete lip. But I am not too concerned about it as it worked as I thought it should. Yes I thought about JB Weld, adding a bolt or pin, buying a replacement, etc. But I think I will just wait to see how many times it happens this year, maybe next year too and then I will make some modifications!

December third is World Coati Day, ensuring the protection and survival of these fascinating creatures, contributing to the conservation of our diverse wildlife. Get involved in a good cause by helping an endangered species and the habitat in which they live—and perhaps enjoy learning something new about this animal at the same time! World Coati Day works to raise awareness about and protect these furry creatures who make their home in the south, from Arizona all the way to South America. World Coati Day can trace its beginnings back to 2019 when the World Coati Day non-profit organization got its start. The group was founded with the purpose of keeping people involved in and connected with the plight of the coatimundi species. In just a few years, the organization has grown in popularity and gained a significant following through their website, social media, and online newsletters that promote this important cause. Dedicated to the survival and conservation of this fascinating and unique animal, the hope for World Coati Day is not just to raise awareness but also to provide protection for this underappreciated species. Not only is the coatimundi simply a cute little animal, but it is an invaluable asset to its surrounding habitat. In fact, these little creatures act as ‘landscapers’ and also control pests while fertilizing and promoting new plant growth.

I have a Traeger pellet smoker and it gets used all summer. Yes, if you turn the temp up then it will work like a regular oven. Great for hot days when you don't want to run the oven in the house. However, with the smoker in low heat smoke mode it should put out lots of smoke to flavour your food. Different wood types will change the smoke flavour as well. We tend to use maple but other wood types will have a stronger smoke. Once it gets down close to freezing outside I stop using it because it just doesn't work properly. That's OK though because that makes it a treat when we get it out in the spring. The only real maintenance I have had to do to it since I got it in 2015 is to give it a good vacuuming out after every big smoke making sure the burn pot is nice and clean.

A quick update… dad came over yesterday and we assessed the situation. I suggested using this old spare third arm that I had acquired years ago with a parts tractor. Dad skillfully fabricated the upper “ears” and welded them on to the lift arm—works great! he even cut a slot in them for a little bit of float like the factory arm has. next up: we took and old spare crank rod and fabricated a bracket and welded a hook on the end. It works like a should! Today, I’m going to pick up a belt (gonna try a 5/8x65 as I saw that suggested somewhere on here). I also need to get two helper springs. I have the bolt for the front attach-a-matic and I purchased a set of turnbuckles but realized that the sheet metal where the turnbuckles attach is pretty thin. So, I cut and drilled a piece of flat bar stock to reinforce the area behind it. We are getting close to delivering this to Caleb’s house for winter snow removal duties!
