    Just curious about your qualifications to make a statement like that?

    Deep cycle battery difference?

    OK, I have the red lead from one bank hooked to one battery and the black lead from the same bank hooked to the other battery. Does that mean I haven't been charging the batteries at all or that I'm only charging one battery? I'm very confused. Could I have ruined the batteries by hooking...

    Deep cycle battery difference?

    WHOA! Wait a minute! So you are telling me I need a separate bank for EACH battery? I thought you could use one bank for TWO batteries if they were hooked together. I have a 24 volt setup for my Minnkota and am only using ONE bank to charge the batteries between uses and it seemed to work...

    656 International Tractor

    Taylorman, I bought a 656 Hydro several years ago and had trouble with the hydro slipping. I found a great web site that has good old mechanics who can answer almost any question you have. I'll post the link below. I have an add-on 3 point on my 656 but no cab so I can't tell you how it would...

    What are they?

    No markings. Had them in a little zip top baggie. Don't know if they came with any packaging, probably didn't as I'm OCD about keeping cartons and directions, especially from stuff I'm not familiar with. - - - Updated - - - That's why I dug them out. That thread the other day about the...

    What are they?

    Found these in an old tackle box. Don't know where or when I got them but I never knew how to use them so they went to the bottom of my tackle box and never got used. Could possibly be 30-40 years old as I don't have any recollection of ever buying them. For sure didn't buy them in the last...

    Stock market

    Very true. Unless you have good sources of information and are able to react quickly speculating on the stock market is a losing proposition. The game is rigged and the house (brokers) always takes their cut. That's why brokerage firms love the little traders, they get their fee every time...

    Stock market

    It is possible to manipulate the price of a stock somewhat in smaller companies but it has become more difficult in recent years because the Feds have gotten better at tracking the market and they will rain holy hell down on traders using inside information if they catch them. Influencing the...

    ATV Problem

    Haven't taken it in yet. Might push it in the horse trailer tomorrow and haul it in. Reading some of those ATV forums makes me think I could stick another $1,000 in that junker before the problem is found. I'll take all your suggestions along and see what they think.

    Kirkwood mall

    If you watch their sale flyer's closely you can find an occasional deal worth making the trip up there for. I've used a couple of their discount coupons to by some ammunition but even with the big discounts they are barely competitive. I did get a good deal on a nice set of Leupold binoc's and...

    Smelt Rigs for Spring/Summer pike

    This is what we used 50 years ago when pike were the only fish in the mud holes back where I grew up. You took the hook off the clevis and pushed the hook into the smelts mouth and out its back. Supposedly pike always swallow their prey head first so the hooks in the smelts mouth were in the...

    Prairie Dogs

    I was in the same boat as you last year but I spent a lot of gas money driving around looking for dog towns and when I spotted one I looked up the land owner in a plat book or at the county recorders office and contacted them for permission. Nobody turned me down unless they had reserved the...

    ATV Problem

    No problem johnr. Normally I think like you and avoid throwing more money at a lost cause but the reason I hate to upgrade is because I only need the machine as an emergency backup in case I get stuck or hung up out in the rough country I'm in for my job. Sometimes I get miles out in the...

    ATV Problem

    Don't believe it has a fuel filter. They never mentioned it and they replaced everything they could I'm sure. They replaced several gaskets and o-rings in the carb but don't know about the gas lines. Good suggestion. - - - Updated - - - They opened it up and checked the cam. Said it was...

    ATV Problem

    Action Sports cleaned the tank-or so they said. The guy I bought it from told me to only use premium gas so I did. The mechanic told me I could use regular unleaded but not ethanol. All that's in the tank now is premium. Added Seafoam to the tank last fall before storing it. Tried spraying...

    ATV Problem

    The last time I had it in there in Oct. when they rebuilt the carb they didn't charge me for any labor because it the third time for the same complaint but that really doesn't make me feel too much better because the problem still isn't fixed. Can't figure out why it runs so good in the shop...

    ATV Problem

    Need a recommendation for a good Polaris mechanic. Have a recurring problem with my 1996 Magnum 425 that floods and stalls out at high RPM's when it warms up. It's so bad that 5 minutes running in a closed garage would kill you. Three trips and almost $1,000 to Action Motor Sports last year...

    AAA Insurance

    My AAA card is one in my wallet that I never leave home without. The peace of mind is well worth it. They will bring you gas out on the road if you run out, send someone to unlock your doors if you lock your keys in, (been there, done that-with the car running;:;banghead) or jump start your...

    Don't know if they would make you a samwich but they would sure come getcha and drop you off at the nearest Denny's.

    Bum Knee

    Just had my second knee replacement done in November. Got the back leg done this time. ;-) Both surgeries went extremely well and I'm finally pain free for the first time in over 50 years. No more moaning and groaning every time the weather changed. I was pretty lucky that my recovery time...
