They're so poor they don't have a pot to piss in. Medieval times urine was used for tanning so it was saved.

Or a window to throw it out. Didn't have a home.

I just gotto go to politically incorrect...

Happier than a bling faggot at a wiener roast. You figure it out.
More scared than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs .

Rats now I've drawn a blank...

I would get a true asphalt emulsion. Fill the crack with it and spread sand on it.

Then true asphalt will continue to melt during the summer and flow. You may have to sprinkle sand on it often.

You are not going to fix the cracking. As it ages it's going to shrink some. Be glad it not all broken.

Sounds like your clutch return spring is broken. It's on the clutch pedal.

For what it's worth. I'm having a issue with the clutch engaging. I think have some roughness on the splines on the input shaft and it's binding there. When summer gets here I'll break the tractor and see what's going on.

Glad to see all is well in your neck of the woods Dennis. Look at the bright side you're on the green side of the grass and you still enjoy football.

Merry Christmas to all. Wish all this rain coming would be snow. But can't have everything.

It's not an issue! Look at how many of the STUPIDS will follow a Tractor Trailer with ice and snow coming off the top and pass a half a mile an hour faster on their cruise.

Most of these people have no business contributing to the gene pool. Yet they find someone dumb enough to let them.

Thank You Dennis. Hope you and family were treated well. I gotta get out a run some of the Pumpkin pie and the rest off now.

I would use the adjustable link. Adjust it until you find the proper length to have the hoe frame vertical.

Measure the center of the pins. get 2 ends from tractor supply and have a solid link welded in.

Me, I'd just use the adjustable link.

Not sure how you tell one is weaker or slower, unless you can bench test them.

But here goes: The seal on the shaft rod could be bypassing oil. Easy fix remove rod check cylinder for wear install new seal.

Looks like someone added a different cutting edge. My factory is thinner attached to bucket.

Best bet would be modify the tooth bar to fit.

That's the beauty of where I live, here in the Finger Lakes. The Honey Crisp are sold by the pound, here. Fresh from trees I think $.99 per. Bushel of rest of many Varieties are $17.00 this year. I personally like Fortune it's a later apple in the meantime I'll eat Many different varieties. I buy a bushel or 2 a week for the guys here. Get 1/2 bushel bags 2 at a time of different varieties.

Nice write up. Someday when I retire I might try something like that.

Of course you live uptown me the back forty. Just have a yard lots of weed they stay green even in dry spells and I don't have to mow that often.

I doubt that you have over tightened. As was said before the back bends and forward bends will kill a belt if it's not flexible for the application Kevlar or not.

I buy 2-300 various sizes of belts for our straight up sheaves. I have tried a couple of the high end belts on my deck they do not last but a few mowings.

Bought the factory specific belt and it's on there for 3 or 4th season now.

The other possible thought is: you have to much HP to deck mowing too heavy a grass to fast.

I don't think planting over the field has any issues "EXCEPT" soil preparation. You would have to be very careful not to disturb the filters above the stone. Doing that would allow silt into the leach bed and that would cause some problems down the road.

Many places use all types of "FERTILIZER" including human, cow, horse and others. I think I'd like to at least see it composted for a year before I use it.

Grew up a few miles south of where I am. Moved up where my mother was living in 67. Spent 20+ years traveling around country and world courtsey of Uncle Sam. Getting ready to retire and moved in near the inlaws. the Finger Lakes is a beautiful area.

Now we are kinda of stuck here with 4 granddaughters and their families all with in a 4 mile radius.

Would love to leave this commie state, taxes suck, politics suck, the gun laws suck.

For the most part I can survive it.

But here I am and probably here I'll die.

The difference for me is: Is it a lawn or a yard? I'm in the country and have a huge yard. The wild geese keep it pretty fertilized.

Yellow and brown grass means I have more time to ride Harley or bicycle oooooorrrrrr run. Still keeping up with health. (don't even bring up a push mower)

If I do get inspired to add something to the yard I use some of the neighbors left over lime and maybe some 10-10-10.

Was just reading NE US shortage. Feds have lifted driver HOS hours of servive regs. So trucks delivering to these area can do what they need to making deliveries.

A wet fall harvest spiked the need for farmers, one of the larger pipe lines is down for maint and the extreme cold weather "The POLAR VORTEX" hit the propane users hard.

We typically treat our commercial fuel 60-40. the 40 being straight kerosene. Your fuel treatments with provide the lube the injectors and pump needs. Personally I have no problem blending 50-50 if I'm not working the tractor at full power warmer weather.
