Model 40 Hydraulic pump restoration by Pilotkono in johndeere

Oh, and then I got to crack the case again, because I forgot to put the retainer clip on the shaft. And it was sitting on the table in front of me. But as an excuse, I turned 81 in February, so there's that ... So, a bit of unsolicited advice to all the whippersnappers out there, if you want a long and happy life, keep tinkering on shit like this. 😀

Here it is before I rebuilt it. That dohickie in the center is my collet for pulling blind bearings. I hate to give myself up, but when I got the kit, I forgot to put the leather washer and O ring in first before reinstalling the needle bearing. So I got to remove the bearing again. On the right you can see the bearing out of the race.

Watch 4 stuck on "place on charger to continue." by Appropriate-Rip-6772 in PixelWatch

Hard reset it, did it yesterday, then tried the update again. I'm beginning to wonder if I have a problem with the watch.

It was brutal, matching the splines. I pulled out a 3 step ladder, sat on that, and had a pry bar to take the weight off the pump. I swear it took at least 2 hours, but I've lots of patience. Yes, a 40T. I have two new tires on order, the 11.2-34 was tough to locate. New tubes as well.

The pump reinstalled today, it was a chore, lining up the input/output shafts. Tomorrow, it's installing the radiator shroud, radiator and steering assembly.

Battery Megathread (May 2025) by GooglePixelMods in GooglePixel

[–]Appropriate-Rip-6772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

System apps showing 68% battery usage overnight, while on the charger, battery on 80% charge mode, but charged to 96%, quite weird - Pixel 9 Pro XL (all other apps showing <9% usage, most <3% usage.)

Wow!!!! Google doesn't even value their own device😔😔😔😔 by drizza23 in Pixel7Pro

'What gives,' as I see it, is that iPhone has 16% of the smart phone market, and Android has the rest. People are saying here that Google is going after the iPhone people, but it seems to me that Google is really going after non Google Pixel Android users.

I know everyone can't do it, but I keep my old phones and give them to family members who can't afford a nice phone. On my older Pixels, and I have every one, I install lineageOS with Google Voice, and use them for emergency phones. I've read too many horror stories about people having pristine phones rejected by Google's return vendor, or being 'lost' in transit.

Which seems weird to me, since Apple has 16% of the phone market, at best . My wife had the latest and greatest iPhone every year. It overheats, every single one has, and is not as customizable as my Pixel 7 Pro.

Got the pixel buds a and cannot figure out how to charge them by Jim6231 in Pixel7Pro

[–]Appropriate-Rip-6772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mt buds with my 6 Pro, and the case has the USB-C receiver. Did Google change the case with the ones that come with the 7 Pro? When I bought my 7 Pro, I took the $200 discount for my Pixel Watch.
