    Picking up walnuts... that's what the squirrels are there for. Seriously, give them time and they will remove them all for you. I've never picked up walnuts and I have three large trees.

    Gas Prices

    Dennis - when you were at the Eagle warehouse in Westville, you were near my neck of the woods. I live about 10 miles north and west of that site. On topic - gas is $3.63 today in Chesterton, IN

    Six of one, half dozen of another. As busy as a one-armed paper hanger.

    Paid $ for and got CRAP!

    A few years ago I had a set of steel ramps that I got at Sears collapse while loading my tractor into the back of my pickup. Just managed to get the tractor in, but had to improvise to get it back out. I took the POS ramps back for a refund.

    David - Last year while using "ramming speed" to push back the previous snow's piles, I lost one bolt and promptly broke the other holding the rag joint together... as far from the garage as I can get on my property. As the driveshaft slowed down its wild erratic spinning it took out one of the...

    Whats a 582 worth?

    The 582 has the three-speed Cub rear end that is found on the older geardrive tractors. The 582 Special is the Peerless type rear end. Couldn't tell you how common the creeper is.

    If "con" is the opposite of "pro", is congress the opposite of progress?

    I agree with Dennis on the runners on IH-manufactured decks. I used to have a 582 that came with a 44C deck. It had the runners on the front. I'll add my two cents to the turfs or ags, chains or not discussion. Every winter I get caught with my pants down and don't have my chains on in...

    1811 remote filter oil lines

    I've been busy chasing oil leaks on my 1811 and thought with the replacement of the front seal I had them all fixed. I now find that the oil lines are leaking - between the hose and the crimp and also "weeping" through the covering. When I took the hoses off I discovered what looks like the...

    Kraig, is that an oak stump? If so, that could be a "hen-of-the-woods" mushroom. Supposed to be pretty tasty, but I've never had the opportunity to try one.

    M18 Governor Spring

    Thanks Paul. I'll give it a try.

    M18 Governor Spring

    I recently replaced the front oil seal and breather on the Magnum 18 in my 1811. I kept track of every bolt, nut , etc that came off the engine...except I lost the governor spring. I've ordered one, but no one stocked one and the grass keeps growing. As a temporary measure, I'd like to try a...

    What I don't understand is how gas can be so much here in the Chicagoland area when we are sitting on the door step of one of the largest refineries in the country in East Chicago, IN. And yet the price is a whole dollar less in North Dakota! Doesn't the cost of transporting the finished...

    Cheap Cell Phone Plans - Yay or Nay

    I'm continuing to look into the various "pay-as-you-go" providers/plans and I found something interesting last night - Ting. This is run by the people that bring you Tucows and Hover. They run on the Sprint network. You pay just for what you use AND they will refund any overpayhment for unused...

    Cheap Cell Phone Plans - Yay or Nay

    I want to try to get off the two-year contract cycle with Verizon when my family's current plan ends. Has anyone here tried Virgin Mobile, Straight Talk or Simple Mobile? Curious about call quality and data speed / availability. One obvious con right off the bat is having to purchase the...

    What my 1Ndone is all about

    Doesn't "crabby" and "old man" go hand-in-hand? I know in my case it does.

    John Deere 140

    Don - I'm not sure how rare they are. I do know I have never seen another one around my area - even when they were new. Melody - It is in very good shape, it has been garaged/shedded all it's life. A few observations from using it today. I couldn't get comfortable in the seat; there...

    John Deere 140

    While many of you have fond memories of your Father or Grandfather's Cub Cadet when you were a child, my childhood memories are of this tractor - My Dad's John Deere 140 in Spruce Blue and Dogwood White. I still remember the day the dealer delivered the tractor, mower deck and blade. I had to...

    Signs of Spring

    We know it is spring when the dogwood (and the dandelions) are in bloom.
