Theisen's in Tipton has a better supply of parts than the store in Coralville, only makes sense when you look at their customer base. Tipton more ag/rural.
I lost a pin on a tree puller earlier this spring and couldn't find what I wanted at TSC or Thiesen's, so I bought a pin and a large washer that I welded over one end.
Had a mower deck spindle repaired at Charlie's Welding yesterday. Half price of buying OEM new. He had bearings on hand for it...
McMaster Carr is not really tractor parts but offers a lot of parts, valves and assemblies. A local machine shop I've used in the past orders from them frequently.
I found a mentor and he was back out yesterday morning. I worked the hives at his direction. One hive needed feeding and I started that this morning.
The other hive was going gang buster yet we took out a brood chamber section. Came home after work and there were tons of bees on the outside of...
Pulled a flail mower chopping corn stalks with a IH 560 in the late '70's and still wince thinking about the cobs hitting me in the back of the legs. Hopefully things are designed better these days.
Wonder where the county I grew up in would rate: Tama county. Seen some really nice deer there when I grew up, but it flies under the radar. Little to no public and the landowners are tight lipped. Recently saw the obit for a bowhunter in the local paper up there who I heard through the...
Running an ExMark LaserZ with 72" deck powered by a Kawasaki 27hp liquid cooled engine. Like the liquid cooled for those long days mowing with temps above 90.
My experience is that bucks like to push does in estrous into standing corn or switch to try to hide them from rival bucks. They also like waterways and fencerows for that.
I never got fruit like previous pictures in this thread and I had many apple trees nearby that the deer sought out. I planted a couple of apple trees away from the yard and the deer hit those. I won’t be planting more paw paws but that is just my bias.

They suckered hard for me (way down yonder in the paw paw patch?) and you need more than one for pollination. Didn't figure you'd only plant one but without knowing the sex, probably need to overkill the numbers to be sure.
I had two up in the farmyard and they didn't live very long, might be a short lifespan on them? I have a friend who struggled with them in his yard as well.
The hazelnut bush close to mine got browsed into the mushroom shape.
I saw a newer New Holland tractor with a rear mounted “boom” mower for sale just south of the Kirkwood campus south of CR last Sunday. I’ve seen countles use these for brush in ditches. I thought it would be great for mowing the face of our dam, but too much cash for such limited use.
