    coil question and introduction

    The kind of capacitors used here are basically 2 are two strips of metal foil separated by an insulating material then rolled up like a jelly roll. Sometimes there is a problem with the insulating material causing a short between the two foils causing the capacitor to fail. And yes as posted...

    Wood splitting

    When I had my pellet stove installed, I headed to the insurance office to ask for an inspection. Once they heard me say that I had it installed by the stove shop they were ok without an inspection.

    Gardens 2022

    Never had a large animal eat my tomato plants, but this year they kept getting chomped on. Same thing with the hosta plants right along the front of the house. Came out on day and all the leaves were gone!

    LEST WE FORGET

    Just gives me the chills what many have done to keep us safe. I fear that today a lot do not understand/appreciate or have indeed forgotten. God rest his soul!

    rrschmitt Thanks for that info. Yesterday I was trying to get part numbers for the deck, and for the idler pulleys I came up with the IH493164-R91. Trying now to find out what size they are. The idlers that came with tractor from the PO measure 3".

    Mower Deck belt woes

    Thanks Dave. Yes that's the mule drive and sub frame that have. The belt I was trying to install is the 489-397-R3 . Weird huh? Good point about the pto button. I'll post a picture of the mule drive install later today. Got to drive the Mrs. to a medical appt.

    Mower Deck belt woes

    In the picture I have the spring on the mule drive disconnected. It's still too tight and there is nothing left to loosen. Took a look at Tractor Supply my local store doesn't have much for belts and online the belts were mostly 1/2". Toyed with the idea of cutting an old belt then measuring...

    Mower Deck belt woes

    I imagine I'm going to take some flak over this question. So, I'm ready. Some time ago I purchased a Cub Cadet 125 with mower attached. It ran ok. and later I installed a snow blower. When I tried to reinstall the mower deck for the spring the belt for some reason was "way" too tight. I bought...

    125 mower deck undercarriage

    On my 125 mower undercarriage there are two holes in each linkage arms to attach the 2 lift links for raising and lowering the undercarriage.. I thought the rearmost of these two holes was for attaching the 48" deck and the front hole for smaller decks? I drew an arrow to the linkage holes I'm...

    782D journey

    Like what you're doing to bring the 782D back to life. I was wondering what is supposed to keep that check valve ball from falling out each time you replace the oil filter or is that why the original was missing?

    winter projects to stay busy

    A local gunsmith that has since passed showed me a few muzzel loaders that he had hand crafted the stocks. They were all curly maple. He stated he burned the stock to bring out the curly part of the maple. They sure were beautiful stocks.
