    Homemade OROPS

    I don't believe it is. I did not ask for anything special when I purchased the expanded metal, so I assume it's just run-of-the-mill grade, whatever that would be. The gussets are large enough. I've had no cracking or noticable flexing. I use the dozer for plowing snow in the winter. If I run in...

    Cleaning out a pond.

    Thanks G2A. I haven't used any Reward yet. I have used Cutrine+ and Weedtrine(diquat) for algea and duckweed problems. Neither seemed to do much for the weeds though, atleast how I applied it. I have an aerator system with 3 diffusers, so an oxygen drop shouldn't be as bad when I do...

    Mitch, how big a pond is it, just guessing? I know different species can tolerate different amounts of turbidity. 'Specially Catfish. They can tolerate alot. Bass I think can tolerate alot, too, but don't know about the sunfish & perch? It is my pond, and my equipment, so you're right, no...

    Cleaning out a pond.

    Not sure if this is the right forum, or if there is one? I have a small pond, approx 1/2 acre. It's an old pond(originally dug around '70). It has been cleaned around the edges with an excavator a couple of times since then, but it's been atleast 10years since the last time. Anyways...

    how cold is too cold?

    Alexander, welcome to the forum!!:drinkup From my experience, mostly with heavy trucks, the #1 problem has been fuel filter waxing/plugging. The fuel won't have gotton to the point it's changed from liquid to solid yet, but rather the wax in the fuel starts to..............to "drop out"...

    3 allis's

    These other B pics look like the same bright orange I was thinking. I wonder what the B was originally marketed for? Is it maybe considered an orchard tractor? That one there sure looks nice!!

    Mack E7 question

    I'm guessing they are not related. I think possibly the problem with the guages and the occasional engine stalling might be related, although they never happen at the same time. The speed at which they'll quit and start working is similair though. And they only happen very occassionally, maybe...

    So, what about them Steiger tractors??

    Despite the fact I live in a state with alot of Ag., I'd not learned about Steiger tractor's until about a year ago when I sold an old drawbar sodbuster plow to a guy in the western part of the state, and I agreed to deliver it. When I arrived a his place he showed me his collection of...

    3 allis's

    Cool! I almost bought a lil' B Allis like that. I wanted to put a belly mower on it, thought it would be just the perfect size. The particular one I looked at had some anti freeze in the oil though, and I decided to pass on it, but a guy I knew decide he wanted it. He fixed it all up and...

    6.9 diesel questions

    Okumaguru, I owned a '87 Ford 3/4ton with the 6.9L and a C6 tranny, and have also driven for employment a vehicle with a 6.9L. My father also had 6.9L's in a couple of his trucks. I agree with the rest here, they are underpowered, atleast HP and acceleration wise. They will get the job done...

    Mack E7 question

    Serv, I don't understand the workings of the engines electronics well enough to guess if it is related to the throttle pedal sender, but................. Here's what I've noticed with mine: It'll idle "jumpy" at it's current idle rpm of 600 when ever it's not cold (above 150degree's, and no...
