Suggestion: to prevent unauthorized entry to your property (or at least make it somewhat more difficult), put a lock on the gate latch. Also, the top hinge bolt on your gate should be installed upside-down, so the gate cannot be simply lifted off of the hinges. Also, the hinge bolts should be lag bolts that do not go all the way through the post. Unfortunately, land owners in Texas face the constant threat of trespassing. Thanks for the video. 👌👌👍👍

I see I didn't pass the inspection haha. Actually it makes a lot of sense what you say, the bolts passing though can be unbolted, the upper hinge facing down... I will get a lock for sure, that is in the to do list. Thank you very much for the comment, super good info. This is definitely my first rodeo with gates as you can tell.

@BUTTEWORKS
@BUTTEWORKS 23 күн бұрын
Mike, the appliances will work but if they have any issue, short or anything like that, it won't be safe, somebody could get electrocuted. Ground could be hot, and ground is usually the frame of the appliance. Generator need to be set up bonded or floating depending on the application. I would ask my neighbor to get an inexpensive generator to run just some appliances. $400 buy you 3000-4000w.

Just what I was thinking, the steering gearbox fluid has to be extracted. I have to do this to my 1998 MF 231. I need to buy a fluid extractor. I see you have a link in the description of where you got yours. THANK YOU for adding all the links of parts and tools that you use and for all of the videos on your Massey Ferguson 231! This past August (2024) I’ve owned my 231 for 17 years!!! It has been, by far, my most favorite tractor I’ve owned. The only major problem I’ve had out of it was a blown head gasket about 4 years ago. White smoke went everywhere!! It blew on the exhaust side, so no water got in the engine. Can’t beat a Massey Ferguson or that little 3 cylinder Perkins diesel!!!!!! Like yours, mine sits out in the weather also, and I ABSOLUTELY HATE THAT!!!! If you or anyone else needs ANY information or specs on the 231, I have the operators manual, parts manual, and service manual! Let me know and I’ll get you the information you need for free!!! Won’t cost you a copper penny!!!

I may reach out when I get to the hydraulic pump overhaul. The transport works great but the draft (pushing into the ground) I don't think it does.

First, thank you so much for this video. You helped me change out my compressor. Quick question for you. My 2014 GMC Sierra shows 0.6 kg (or 1.4lb) of refrigerant. By the book, it says that the car requires 22.4ozs of freon or just under 2 cans of freon (if you have 12oz cans). It looks like you were using 12oz cans of freon (I bought the same as you) but you put in 29-30ozs of freon. Curious how you got the information to put in 2.5 cans of Freon. Would love to see how you were thinking about it. thank you again!!!

I don't' recall where I found the amount for my truck but it was a list for all GMC vehicles, all years and models. I used 2.5 cans as recommended and so far it is running great. I'm sure if you use 2 cans it will work as well. I just made a quick search and there are multiple pages with service manual pictures showing 1.6lbs (25-29oz) for GMC Sierra 1500 year 2014. I'm glad you found the video useful.
