Adding a log splitter and manual of both splitter and tractor suggests topping off hydraulic fluid after installation at rear remotes.... Manual specifies API GL4 ISO VG 46/68. Anyone have a quick go to brand at Napa, Tractor Supply, or OReilly? Searched the forums, but apparently I'm not very...

Just bought a powerhouse three point log splitter and am assembling it. I have to purchase the supply and return hoses. Anyone here done this and can recommend a length for the hoses? Sure would like to skip the whole "going to the farm, hooking up the splitter, then measuring, then going to...

How big a disc can a Jubilee pull?.....I know it depends on weight and soil, but a 6 foot box frame??????? Or should I stay with a 5 foot. I may get a bigger tractor this year, and if the Jubilee can pull it then I'd like to go with 6...what say you?

Left the little tractor under a tree for two months as I had negotiated it up a very rutted road on my property to cut the fields.....very muddy and the tractor was slipping and sliding all over the place. Last week there was a hard freeze and the wife and I were up on the farm...figured the...

First I want to say this is an awesome forum and I really have a good handle on the care and MX and repair of the old NAA....the only thing I didn't do myself was the lift cover because I ran out of time (More on that later) To sum up...I have way more in this thing than it's worth, but I know...

I did an oil conversion and will give you the canister cover EAA6737B and the bolt with oil holes in it.....Free to good home. Rear fuel tank support bracket NCQ 9097A also free....new tank came with one. You pay shipping.

OEM carb for NAA is supposed to be a TSX 428 from my research...maybe a 580. Of course this carb has no brass plate on it. underside of CARB says 10A 355 and then a 4. Inside one of the chambers of the top is marked 227-100. Does anyone know how this correlates with Carb models? My carb...

Well I got the tractor all put back together except hood. I replaced gas tank, all gaskets, filters, etc. New plugs, adjusted valves, replaced oiler grommet in the valve train, new radiator, hoses, cleaned and fixed up water pump, new thermostat, new radiator shroud (which made me replace a...

Well I took the one wheel that will go flat randomly into the tire shop and I get a phone call that says rim is shot. I go by and look and with the tire broken from the bead is a mass of delaminated rim, decayed rubber liner. It is a mess. When I went to order rim, I look at tire and see 11.2...

Well I described earlier that my front spindles were toast. The thrust bearings were gone on each side, and the spindles were severely worn. I have my new spindles and took the hubs off the old spindles. I do have new bearing kits, but I'm not sure it will work with both sides because I have...

"][/URL] Well in my adventures in shade tree mechanic post, I mentioned how I had a broken stud on the front of the tractor holding the axle support bracket. Well I had to renew the pin, so I yanked the axle support bracket to beat the daylights out of the pin. The bushing was worn through...

Got such good advice on the water pump goop question... Anyone have a recommendation for exhaust manifold....gasket only, or gasket and RTV? What kind? Copper? Also, looking for a torque settings for exhaust system Jubilee tractor.

Okay, well I finally got to work on the tractor again. In the process of replacing the water pump, I dropped a lockwasher into the pit of ****......you know the bowl like bracket that bolts on to the front of the red tiger engine flange which holds the pivot for the front axle and radiator...

Well, I changed oil (15W40 as Soundguy recommended) cleaned rocker arm cover, changed breather element in valve housing and oil breather cap. Also changed the plate to a spin on filter. Cleaned at least 30 years of crap out of the thing. Pulled the oilers, shot gum out through them, then pb...

I know this sounds like a stupid question. I think I'm going to pay the local tractor place to do my brakes and do the seals....or is this an easy job? I just didn't want to horse with the wheel unless you guys think it is a good exercise. I also want to replace the seal on the pto.... I...
